I Read the Bible and Feel Nothing—What Should I Do?

I read the Bible and feel nothing...what should I do? I think we all go through seasons where we may not feel like reading the Bible, and we all face the discouragement at times where we read it and feel nothing at all. Sometimes this very discouragement can keep us from reading it at all, because we feel like we're doing something wrong. But that's simply not true! Not "feeling anything" doesn't mean we're doing something wrong. If you read the Bible and feel nothing, I've got some encouragement in this video for you. 🤍

Your faith must rely not on feeling, but on the promises of God.

Thank you for this because I've been beating myself up for not being so eager to read His Word. Like I am not so thirsty now for His Word compared before. I've been so sad about this and your video comforted me. Thank you!! And praise God because He is still faithful even in our down moments.

I would say my “birthday dinner” experience verse is John 16:33 “I have told you all these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world!” In my pain, my anxiety, my heartache, reading this verse makes me realize that Jesus was already in this world, He experienced it. He knows my pain, He knows what I’m going through and in the end, He WINS. So, through His promise, I am assured, that everything will be okay. 🤍 So I pray that even in the days where I don’t want to touch my Bible, I do. I ask God to put that desire in my heart. Through His Word, I am reminded of His character and His love for me.

I've read the bible it has taken me two whole years to finish it due to life events and roller coaster stages in life, I feel lost now without reading it so just doing the youversion bible app plans and devotional helps me and bible project video helps me too.

I had started reading the book of Job as my heart was wanting to read that but I have stopped as I find it all so negative with jobs complaints, thanks for this video I will try and finish reading Job when I can as in the middle of moving to a new place to live and waiting for things to settle down before I can get into quiet time... I hope so soon I'm overwhelmed by everything atm

My "birthday dinner" experience verse was Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." This was the verse that helped me in my salvation and coming to know Jesus and getting saved. The invitation of coming to him, and learning the nature of God has impacted my life. It helped me unlearn the warped perception I had of God due to past circumstances and see God for who he really is.

Hi Nicole I love this video. ❤ I've been struggling with this a little bit lately. And it's important to remember that this world is constantly chasing after dopamine. That rush you get when you pick up your phone, Or do a hobby. But the bible is not just to satisfy that want for excitement or dopamine. It's to build your relationship with God. We can often feel these things like excitement, when we read the bible, but it's important to remember that it's not what we should be are chasing after.

Hebrews 12:1-3 was like a "birthday dinner " for me. Especially verse 2. 😊 They really spoke to my spirit at a time when I was focused too much on myself and instead needed to fix my eyes on Jesus. ❤

Keep reading you will eventually feel power and joy and happiness just keep reading 📖

[shadowqueen]

There r so many verses that Gid has used to impact me but themost memorable one is Psalm 138:8" The Lord will fulfill His purposes for me" powerful powerful verse. And u know the pressure has been removed to always feel a certain way about reading the bible and prayer and so grateful for this❤❤❤❤

"Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God--
Naught else is worth believing.

Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.

I'll trust in God's unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever,
For, though all things shall pass away,
HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!"

- Martin Luther

Dearest Kaci,

It is truly a great joy and honor walking this road to heaven alongside you. You are tender-hearted and extremely kind-spirited. Your unconditional pure love and joy for the Lord is so contagious and very inspiring. I love ending my quiet times with the Lord with one of your beautiful Bible Studies. You are a precious, sweet blessing and gift to this world. It is so obvious that the Lord has such a purpose for you. 💛🌿

This is how I’ve been feeling the past few years. I used to have a good relationship reading the Bible but I got mad at God because of something that happened. He completely fixed that thing in time without me praying about and I’m so thankful but I haven’t been able to go back to that relationship I once had. I feel guilty for how I got mad but don’t know how to fix it. I feel like a hypocrite because I tell others in my community I have a good relationship when I don’t.
But this video gives me encouragement to just continue to show up, especially since I am just 2 months away from having my first child and would love for him to have a relationship with God.

[jadas]

Thank you for this! I thought there was something wrong with me because I wasnt having that awesome eye opening spiritual experience after reading the Bible. Now I know that it's ok to feel nothing

[jazminae]

So I have this desire and excitement but I have trouble reading and understanding it and then I feel like I should stop bc I’m only reading the words itself.

[paultown]

I agree I used to find it very boring. Sermons were boring to and prayers. Basically I was a very bad Christian.

[hyefndt]

Huhu I really needed to hear this! I've been feeling the pressure to reach an insight after reading the Bible, but I can attest that over time, God really continues to sanctifies us even if we don't "feel" much, so long as we keep showing up! Thanks Kaci!

[johnmartin]

Thank you for this lesson. Your analogies really hit home and the content, as always, is very impactful and positive.
