Maybe you've prayed with all your heart and still didn't get the answer you hoped for.
Maybe you've watched dreams crumble, doors slam shut,
or pain drag on longer than you thought possible.
Maybe life doesn't look anything like you imagined,
and now, in the quiet moments, you're left wondering,
where is God in this?
It's okay to feel disappointed. It's okay to feel confused, angry, or let down.
That doesn't mean you've lost your faith.
It means you're living in the tension between hope and reality.
Faith doesn't mean pretending.
It doesn't mean stuffing your feelings down or glossing over your grief with Bible verses.
Faith means showing up as you are.
It means bringing your heartbreak to God and saying, this hurts.
It means trusting that He's still good, even when it doesn't feel like it.
God is not afraid of your honesty.
He can handle your doubts, your fears, and your questions.
You don't have to clean up your feelings to come to Him.
You just have to come.
If you're struggling, lean in, not away.
Ask Him the hard things.
Sit with the silence and let your tears be prayers.
Just because you don't see Him moving doesn't mean He isn't.
Just because you feel lost doesn't mean that He's left you.
He is still there, still loving you, still writing your story.
You don't have to understand everything to trust Him.
You don't have to feel strong to be held.
And this is not the end.
Keep holding on, because He's not done yet.
