I hear a lot of people saying, βI donβt feel God anymore.β And thereβs a lot of guilt there, like theyβre not trying hard enough. But βnot-feeling-Godβ doesnβt make you a bad Christian: just an honest one. And maybe our baseline for βfeeling-Himβ got messed up with a false foundation.Maybe when Life Got Hard, no one taught you a clear theology on pain. Maybe no one mentioned that seasons of doubt, suffering, and detachment are regular valleys in a believerβs life.Those are also the EXACT times we go to God and tell Him everything. To even say, βI donβt feel you right now, God.β You can tell Him that.Most of us think weβve failed God when we donβt feel Him, when itβs actually that feeling of His absence that can either push you to Him or from Him. Heβd much rather it be to Him.
