If you’re like me, there are times in your life when Scripture felt like it leapt from the page straight into my soul, prayers felt immediately heard, and worship stirred my heart, emotions, and mind. But let’s be honest. There are days when Scripture feels like ink instead of fire, when God feels silent and distant.
When Discouragement Creeps In
Usually, I hear or read words that discourage rather than comfort or console:
- “If you don’t hear God’s voice, guess who isn’t listening?”
- “If you don’t sense God’s touch this day, whose fault is that?”
- “If God doesn’t seem to feel close, guess who moved?”
