How to Trust God When He Feels Far Away

Have you ever felt like God was distant—like no matter how much you prayed, you couldn’t hear Him? Maybe deep down, you’re carrying unspoken disappointment or even resentment toward Him. It’s not that you don’t believe He’s good, but a part of you wonders, "If He really loves me, why did He allow these things to happen?" Without realizing it, we can hold judgments against God, using our pain as evidence that He isn’t trustworthy. But here’s the thing—God isn’t the one who hurt you. And rebuilding trust with Him isn’t about pretending your wounds don’t exist. It’s about bringing them to Him, boldly and honestly, and allowing His truth to rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself. 

Rooting for you,
