You look around and it seems like everyone else has it together spiritually.
They're consistent, confident, they're on fire for God, and you?
You feel distant, disconnected, and a little ashamed that your faith doesn't look the
way it used to.
But hear this clearly, you are not behind.
Faith isn't a race, and God doesn't rank His kids.
There are no spiritual gold stars.
There is no leaderboard, there's just relationship.
A messy, beautiful, evolving relationship.
God isn't disappointed in your dry season.
He's not annoyed that you're struggling to pray or feeling distant during worship.
He's not shocked by your questions or embarrassed by your doubts.
He's still here, still pursuing you, still waiting for you to just turn and talk to Him again.
The fact that you're listening to this right now is by God's will.
This season isn't punishment, it's invitation.
To reconnect, to return, to rebuild, not from pressure, but from grace.
So start small, sit in silence, listen to worship, journal your confusion, open your
Bible without guilt or expectations.
You don't have to feel it to begin again.
God never asked you to be perfect, He asked you to be present.
You're not behind, you're not broken, and you're not too far gone.
You're just in process, and He's still with you, always.
