Trust God Even When You Have No Feelings - Paul Washer

Do you trust the Lord even when you have no feelings? We need to remember that God often withdraws His sensible presence from us to test and purify our faith. Will you still follow the Lord even when you don't "feel" Him with you? In this excerpt, Paul Washer considers a truth from Isaiah 50.

Been dealing with this lack of feeling God’s love a lot recently. Yet I still don’t want to ever quit and go back to the ways of the world and how I lived. But this popped up. If that’s not a sign from the Lord, I don’t know what is. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Lord

Blessed are those, who have not seen, yet still believe.

[TheMidnightModder]

You are not alone.
Even when you can't feel Him, He is with you.
Those who truly seek Him are given the hardest tests.
God has not given up on you, He is pruning you.
He is giving you trials to foster strength and resilience.
When all is said and done, you will feel and know Him more than ever.
Trust the plan, trust in Him, and Don't Give Up.

“And yet, you find yourself believing” Glory to God

[abdielbarraza]

I will trust God even when I’m crippled with anxiety for no reason. I will trust you Lord

What Paul described I am going through right now. I feel a real spiritual dryness and don’t feel as confident and close to God as I once did, yet I find myself still believing and daily seeking him with out any warm feeling or joy. Thank you brother Paul for your words of encouragement!

This is so true. My child was critically ill a couple of years ago. I felt no comfort. None. It was the most desperate time of my life. I have never been that low. And I felt nothing but despair. I remember going into the bathroom of the hospital room and crying. That’s the only prayer I could find - tears. And I constantly thought of what Jesus said, “never will I leave you and never will I forsake you.” I told Jesus I believed him over my feelings. I felt abandoned, but I knew I wasn’t. My feelings were not greater than his truth. That was eye opening. My son is healthy now after 6.5 months of medical treatment. But that was the lowest point of my life. And whatever I felt or didn’t feel, He was with me. My faith grew a lot from what I learned in that time.

LITERALLY THE SEASON I HAVE BEEN IN! FORCING ME TO TRUST HIS CHARACTER AND NOT WHAT I CAN SEE! SO GRATEFUL FOR IT THOUGH! 😭🙌🏾🙌🏾

" Look at my servant who walks in darkness and has not light but trust in my name " These lines sets my soul ablaze, I'm renewed and I have the will to go on even in my darkness.

This happened to me 15 years ago and I had no idea what was happening. The ecstatic love I felt from God turned to complete darkness, emptiness and pain. I did fall into sin at times as a result as I didn't know what was happening and was hurting a lot. However, from learning scripture I have realized that this is a normal experience. And I feel I have been taught to live by faith as the Israelites were in the wilderness. And I am coming out of the wilderness now with my faith tested and strengthened

I'm praying for my family since 4 years for their salvation, , , they are idol worshippers..in these all years God didn't change my parents but am believing God, sometimes i can't feel his love, , feels like where is he? Did he left me ?
But He is not ....🙌🏻🙌🏻God is faithful ..
Please do remember my family in your prayers. Am from INDIA 🇮🇳
Every prayer counts..

Going through this right now. I cried tears of joy with the analogy of God boasting in Heaven about His servant that trusts in His name. In that instant, I felt that all the hardships made sense and was grateful for the opportunity to glorify His name.

Brethren, my wife and I lost our unborn child a few months ago. This spoke to me.

Thank you Holy Spirit for giving us true fellowship, thank you Lord Jesus Christ for making the way to eternal life and thank you Heavenly Father for your eternal promises.

Thank you YHWH, you have seen my tears and heard my calls for you in the night. ✝️📜

[deborah]

This was exactly how I was feeling today, I felt hopeless, unloved, unheard which led me to ask the Lord to reveal Himself to me because I kinda lost the connection. But the Lord is good, WORSHIP is the solution!! I worshiped the Lord when I did not feel His presence and now scrolling here I encountered this 🔥🙌
THE LORD IS

[Ijsantana]

Who else cried with this short sermon!😢❤

[keithamandahall]

I was a drug addict for so many years, and in today's world of instant gratification, I find myself wanting to always jump ahead of the Holy Spirit.. but I'm learning to be patient and trust his promise. Thank you Jesus. 🙏♥️

[cincin]

This is so reassuring for a new Christian whose local church think I'm cursed because I cant "feel" the spirit.
Thank you for this.

[HisTruthSetMeFree]

Praise the Lord.

This was my cry out to Him.
“Lord, please show me.”
And He did. - Led me to Romans 8:28
And now to this.

Thank you Jesus!!!

I have been experiencing and learning this throughout the past year as well. In the beginning I thought that I was supposed to be “feeling” more, “seeing” more, “experiencing” more. But it is a wicked generation that seeks for a sign from the Lord. Having recently discovered in my walk that it doesn’t matter whether I “feel” something when I pray or cry out to Him. I KNOW, in my faith, that He hears me. He’s God, He is everywhere and He fills the earth: there is no way He can not hear me when I cry to Him. I often remind myself that what Christ did for me is sufficient for the rest of my life, no matter what happens. Christ is sufficient. He is my peace, He is my salvation, He is my love and my forgiveness and my strength, in all the moments I don’t feel that I have it in me. Christ is in me, and I am in Christ. And He is sufficient. ❤️ Reading through Hebrews and soaking up every delicious word was a big help during this process. By faith!

This was a heartbreakingly beautiful reminder! Its been so long since I have "experienced" any sort of emotional sensation, or felt revived. At times it has caused me to become depressed and doubtful, and I have barely been able to simply tell God "I need help, and I trust you, I dont need feelings." Even such few words are a struggle for me to croak out. This message was important for me to hear this morning.
