You pray, and you don’t feel anything.
You plead with God. Dead air.
Have you ever been there?
I have.
When God Stopped Talking to Me
A few years ago I read through the Bible in ninety days. It was exhilarating. It was exhausting.
That, coupled with the step of faith my wife and I took to be foster parents, led to one of the most intimate periods of my life with God.
I could feel his presence at church and when I prayed. There were multiple times when I felt God impressing things on my heart. Life was stressful and emotional, but it was all okay because me and God were tight.
Then one day it stopped.
No more tingling sensations in worship. No more direct messages from God.
I was still reading my Bible every day. Still praying. Still going to church.
Why was God ignoring me?
