When You Feel Distant From God

Sometimes returning is very small.

It may be opening the Bible to a page you have read before, whispering “help” in the car, or sitting in the sun without knowing what to say. God is not measuring the performance of your prayer.

Start where you are. Bring the numbness, the distraction, the disappointment. Presence does not require a perfect feeling. The next faithful step can be as simple as making room for God to meet you there.

You are still loved in the quiet. Amen.
