When You Can’t Feel Him: Trusting That God Is Near

In this week’s episode, we begin a brand-new series centered on rediscovering the truth that God is actively present, He hears our prayers, and He still moves in our lives today.

Have you ever gone through a season where you couldn’t feel God’s presence? Where His silence made you wonder if you’d done something wrong or if He had left you altogether?

We'll talk about the question — what do we do when we don’t feel Him? Because God’s silence doesn’t mean absence, and that often, it’s our mindset, distraction, or expectation that needs to shift in order to see Him more clearly. This episode helps you anchor your faith in the unchanging truth that God is always near.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• Why feeling disconnected from God doesn’t mean you’ve failed spiritually

• How to shift from self-blame to confident trust in God’s nearness

• Practical ideas for reconnecting with God through Scripture, worship, silence, and presence

• A personal reflection on seeing God during a season of profound suffering and healing

• The power of creating space in your life — and in your mind — to hear Him again

Scripture Highlight: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 (NIV) Reflection Questions:

1. When was the last time you felt God was silent? How did you respond?

2. Is there an expectation, distraction, or belief that might be making it harder to sense God's presence right now?

3. What would change in your relationship with God if you believed He was always near — even in the quiet?

A Gentle Practice to Try:

Take 2 quiet minutes today. Close your eyes. Breathe deeply. Ask: “God, where have You been that I may not have seen You?” Let stillness be your teacher and your healing.
