Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well.
I have debated writing about this issue on my heart because I feel a tad guilty for saying it.
Throughout my years of knowing the Lord, I have heard multiple people say “The Lord spoke to me...”, “God showed me a sign...”, “The Lord lead me this way...”. I know that sometimes this can be skeptical but I do believe the Lodd speaks to us, most of all, through His word.
The thing is, is sometimes I feel so distant from the Lord, that I don’t feel like He has ever “spoken” to me. Yes, I read His word, and I earnestly seek Him. Through prayer, I poor my heart out to Him, and sometimes (I really do not like saying this) I feel nothing. I feel empty, like i was just speaking to myself and there is no connection.
My question is.. has the Lord spoken to you? Through prayer? Through the Word?
I’m sorry if this offends anyone, I am truly seeking the answer to this.
