💭 When You’re Just Not Feeling It: Trusting God Through the Dry Seasons

Let’s be honest — sometimes your faith feels like fire, and other times… like dust.

If you’ve ever opened your Bible and felt nothing, prayed and heard silence, or shown up to worship feeling spiritually numb, you’re not alone. In fact, that’s more common than we think.

In the article “Just Not Feeling It” by Desiring God, we’re reminded that our devotion to Jesus isn't defined by how we feel — it's built on faith, obedience, and trust in the One who never changes.

🌱 Faith Isn’t Always Emotional — And That’s Okay

Culture tells us that passion is proof of purpose. But the Kingdom says: even when you don’t feel it, God is still worthy.

There are seasons when reading the Bible feels electric — and seasons when it feels like checking a box. But every time we show up, we’re sowing seeds of faith, even in dry soil. The article emphasizes that discipline in devotion matters, even when emotion is missing.

“When you don’t feel like doing what God has called you to do, do it anyway — and watch Him meet you there.”

💡 Obedience Over Emotion

Think about this: Jesus Himself went through spiritual agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. He didn’t feel like going to the cross — He even asked if the cup could pass — but He obeyed. And through that obedience, we gained salvation.

Your “yes” to God when you’re weary still moves Heaven. And sometimes, that’s the most powerful kind of worship.

🔄 The Power of Holy Habits

The author reminds us that routine and rhythm in our spiritual lives aren’t religious bondage — they’re lifelines. Just like brushing your teeth or exercising, creating holy habits can carry you through the valleys until passion returns.

Here are a few small, practical ways to stay faithful in dry seasons:

Set a fixed time to be with God daily, even if it’s just 10 minutes
Read a psalm aloud and ask the Holy Spirit to speak through it
Play worship music while driving, cleaning, or walking
Journal even one sentence a day of what you’re grateful for
Ask for prayer from someone in your Jesus City fam

✝️ He’s Still With You

Just because you don’t feel God doesn’t mean He’s not near. The truth? He’s closer than your breath. Your emotions may shift, but He remains.

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” – James 4:8
