Feeling Far From God After Parent Loss? Why Your Feelings Are Lying to You

Grief has a way of making God feel distant. You pray, but it seems like your words hit the ceiling. You read Scripture, but it doesn’t bring the comfort it once did. You wonder, “God, where are You?”

If you’ve ever wrestled with these thoughts, you’re not alone. But here’s the truth: Your feelings are real, but they are not always telling you the truth. God has not left you—grief is just loud. In this episode, we’ll unpack how grief can distort your perception of God, what Scripture says about His constant presence, and how to anchor yourself in truth even when you don’t feel it.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your emotions don’t always reflect reality, especially in grief
• How to combat the lie that God has abandoned you
• Biblical truths to hold onto when you feel spiritually numb

Key Takeaways:

• Your feelings are valid, but they don’t define truth. God is with you, even when He feels far away.
• God’s presence is based on His promise, not your emotions. He will never leave you, even in your hardest moments.
• Grief can cloud your awareness of God, but it cannot remove Him. Keep showing up in faith, even when it feels dry.
