When I Cannot Feel You

Lord, I am going to be honest. I do not feel You right now.

The words come out but they do not land anywhere. The verses read like furniture. The songs do not reach the place songs used to reach.

I do not know if I have done something wrong or if this is the season the saints write about. Either way, I am here.

I am not leaving. I am not pretending. I am sitting in the silence and calling it prayer.

Be in the absence. Be the One I am asking for, even when I cannot feel the asking land.

If I am dry, fill the well slowly. If I am tired, let the tired be holy. If I am lost, let the staying be enough.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
