There are seasons—maybe you’re in one now—
when faith doesn’t feel like fire.
It feels like fog.
You haven’t stopped believing.
You still whisper prayers—some out loud, some only in your mind.
You still want to feel God the way you used to.
But something feels different.
More distant.
More fragile.
You scroll past the verses that once stirred something in you.
You catch yourself staring at the ceiling, unsure if your prayers are even reaching anywhere.
And somewhere deep down, a quiet ache rises:
If you’ve been asking these questions—out loud or in silence—you’re not alone.
You’re not broken.
You’re not failing.
You’re in a sacred in-between.
And even here, even now—you are still held.
🔍 You’re Not the Only One Asking
Right now, some of the most-Googled faith questions include:
“Is there a God?”
“Why does God allow pain?”
“Can I know God personally?”
“Is Christianity too narrow?”
“Is the Bible trustworthy?”
These aren’t just intellectual debates.
They’re heart-cries.
Typed into search bars through tears, through silence, through exhaustion.
….and they’re asked by people who aren’t giving up—they’re trying to stay connected to something that once felt sure.
So if you’re here, wrestling…
You’re not lost.
You’re being invited deeper.
🌫️ When Faith Feels Fragile, You’re Not Failing
Sometimes, the most honest form of faith is saying:
“I’m still here… even if I don’t know what to say.”
You are not falling off the path.
You’re on a new part of the journey.
And God is on it with you.
💭 3 Gentle Questions to Ask When Faith Feels Fuzzy
You don’t need quick answers.
You need space to be honest.
To get curious.
To come home to what’s true—even if it takes time.
Here are 3 gentle questions to ask when faith feels fuzzy:
1. Where did I first feel God—and what shifted since?
Sometimes we stop sensing God, not because He’s gone, but because we’ve outgrown the space where we used to meet Him.
➡️ Journal this:
“I used to feel close to God when…”
“Lately, I’ve been feeling…”
“What I long for now is…”
2. Is this doubt—or is this deeper discernment?
Not every disruption is a detour.
Sometimes what feels like spiritual failure is actually a sign of growth.
➡️ Ask yourself:
“Am I losing my faith—or just losing the version that no longer fits?”
“Is God inviting me to know Him differently?”
3. What do I long to believe about God right now?
Even when certainty slips through your fingers, desire can be holy.
➡️ Try this breath prayer:
“God, I want to believe you’re still with me… even here.”
🕊️ A Prayer for the Spiritually Tired
God, I know You are here.
Even when I feel numb, even when the fog is thick—You have not left me.
I don’t need fireworks. I just need Your steady presence.
I choose to believe that my ache matters to You.
Hold me through this silence. Remind me of what’s still true.
Restore to me the joy of being Yours.
And let this season bring me closer—not in performance, but in presence.
💌 From My Heart to Yours
I’ve been in this place before.
That place where the songs don’t move you.
Where the scriptures feel like words on a page.
Where even whispering “God” feels like too much.
And I want you to know:
Faith can stretch without snapping.
God is still present, even when He feels quiet.
And you don’t have to figure it all out to still be fully loved by Him.
I’m not here to speak for your journey.
Only to share mine.
And what I know—what I’ve lived—is that when you sit with your ache long enough, when you allow the silence to soften you instead of shame you…
you will sense Him again.
Not the version others told you to chase.
Not the one you outgrew.
But the real, present, patient God who has never stopped being near.
So take your time.
Ask your questions.
Cry if you need to.
But don’t count yourself out.
Even now—you are being held.

This is the edge of becoming.
