A QUESTION FROM A SEEKING HEART
“Man of God, I am having a struggle in my spiritual walk with God. At times I find it difficult even to pray or to read the Bible. How can I go about it?”
Beloved, first understand this: your struggle is not proof of distance from God, but evidence of hunger for Him.
Dead things don’t struggle—living things do.
There are seasons in every believer’s walk when the soul feels dry, the fire feels low, and spiritual disciplines feel heavy.
Even David, king of israel, a man after God’s own heart, cried out:
“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?” (Psalm 42:5)
Here are divine truths to anchor you:
God Has Not Left You — He Is Teaching You
Feelings come and go, but God’s presence is constant. When prayer feels hard, it is often because God is inviting you from emotion-based faith into rooted faith.
“The just shall live by faith.” (Habakkuk 2:4)
Start Where You Are, Not Where You Think You Should Be
Don’t wait to “feel spiritual.” Whisper a sentence. Read one verse. Sit quietly before Him.
“A bruised reed He will not break.” (Isaiah 42:3)
God honors honesty more than performance.
Dryness Is Often a Transition, Not a Failure
Before new depth comes, old dependence must die. Many times God allows silence so that we learn to seek Him, not His sensations. Even Jesus Christ experienced a moment of spiritual agony:
“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Matthew 27:46)
Feed on the Word Even When It Feels Like Dust
The Word works even when you don’t feel it. It is seed. Seed works underground.
“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17)
Grace Carries You When Discipline Feels Weak
Your walk with God is not sustained by your strength, but by His grace.
“It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.” (Philippians 2:13)
This is not the end of your walk—it is a deepening. You are being taught how to seek God without props, how to love Him without feelings, and how to trust Him without answers.
Stay. Breathe. Whisper His name. He is nearer than you think.
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” (James 4:8)
If this speaks to your heart, know this: God is not disappointed in you—He is walking with you through the valley.
