Encouraging Reading and Writing about Faith
February Writing Prompt: When You Don’t Feel the Presence of God
Share your experience and how you overcame it
There are some days I feel God’s presence as if God is sitting across the room. I feel the warmth, comfort, and the abundance of life.
Other times, I feel like I’m alone in the room. God is distant and I can’t seem to hold on to God’s presence long enough to feel that warmth, comfort and abundance.
I know I’m not alone in this and it has inspired February’s Writing Prompt:
Tell us a story about a time you didn’t feel God’s presence in your life and what you did about it.
- What happened?
- How did you feel about it?
- How did you overcome this common feeling?
- What did you learn?
The above are just a few ideas to get you started.
