☕ What to do when you don’t “feel” God


Helping Women Delight in God’s Word

👋 Hey friend,

Sometimes quiet time feels like just that...quiet. 🦗😑

You open your Bible (maybe at random), hoping for a word from God—peace, insight, comfort—and instead, you just feel nothing.

I get it. I’ve been there. And if that’s you today, I want you to hear this:

👉 Your feelings don't determine God's plan for you.
👉 His character does.

In our latest podcast episode, we—Taylor & Mentor Mama 🐻—talk about what it means to focus on who God is—NOT just what we want from Him.

When my life really starts feeling out of control, looking at myself and my problems doesn't help. 🫠 But learning about God's character grounds me when everything else feels shaky.

So...what characteristic of God do you need to meditate on today? His sovereignty (Daniel 4:34-35)? His justice (Psalm 9:7-10)? His patience (2 Peter 3:8-9)?

When your focus is on God, not your feelings...even five minutes in the Word can transform you.

So take a breath, open your Bible, and just ask:
“God, show me who You are.”

In Him,

Ashley, Taylor and Mentor Mama (Ellen)

The EASY Bible Study Method

Coffee is an acquired taste. It’s not always love at first sip. Yet what was once bitter can quickly become a beautiful relationship. Bible study can be like that.
