If God Feels Distant – 267

Has it been a while since you heard from God? Does it feel like ages since you've seen his goodness or felt the Holy Spirit stirring? Distance from God is one of the most frustrating things we can experience as women of faith. We wonder where he's gone and why he would ignore the children he loves. The uncomfortable truth? The onus may be on us—and if it's not us, it's God trying to help us grow in our faith. Yes, even in the 'silence'! In this podcast episode, Darlene Brock and Julie Bender reveal the ways we may be holding back the lines of communication with God and how we can draw close to him in spite of feeling distant. You'll also learn how God may be trying to stretch you in your faith so you can grow in wisdom. Your relationship with God will ebb and flow, just like any other relationship. And like those relationships, you keep them strong by repeatedly showing up. God will show up too—in his timing. Quote of the episode: “There are seasons that are really hard. There are battles he's asking you to fight with his strength and then there are battles he'll fight for you.” —Darlene Brock Resources Related "If God Feels Distant, Move Closer—Here’s How" "When You Feel Lost, God Will Find You" Mentioned Read our faith series: Beginning Faith | Building Faith | Battered Faith Check out the Smart Living book series here!
