Trust · YES YOU CAN!

Trust

There will be seasons when the warmth you once felt in your spiritual life seems to vanish. Prayer feels empty, meditation feels flat, and the presence you used to sense so clearly seems far away. St. John of the Cross called this the "dark night," and he taught that it is not a sign you have lost your way. It is often a sign you are being invited deeper. In the early stages of awakening, we tend to love the feeling of closeness to Source. The dark night gently removes that feeling so we can discover a connection that never depended on it. What remains when the sweetness fades is something quieter and far more durable: a trust that holds even when you cannot feel it. If you are in a dry season right now, you have not been abandoned. You are being taught to stand on a foundation that sensation could never give you.
