There are seasons when you’re still showing up.

Still praying.
Still opening the Bible.
Still trying to worship.

And yet… heaven feels quiet.

Prayer feels like your words hit the ceiling and fall back down.
Scripture feels like ink on paper.
Worship feels like singing into an empty room.

And the question you don’t want to say out loud keeps following you:
Did God leave me?

If that’s where you are, you’re not alone.

Psalm 63 was written by someone who knew God and then lost the feeling of God.

David is in the wilderness: dry, exhausted, cut off, and afraid.
Not just physically thirsty, but spiritually parched.

And instead of pretending to be strong or forcing emotion, David shows us how faith survives when feelings disappear.

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we step into the wilderness with David and discover what can hold us when everything familiar is stripped away.

In This Episode:

We explore how sustaining devotion to God is formed, not in comfort, but in silence and loss:

✅ Why not feeling God does not mean you’ve lost your faith
✅ How the wilderness reveals what we truly treasure
✅ Why faith must be anchored in what is true, not what is felt
✅ Why spiritual thirst is not failure, but evidence that faith is still alive
✅ How memory becomes fuel when the present feels dark

David doesn’t begin with answers.
He begins with a claim.

“You are my God.”

Before he states his need, he stakes his relationship.
Before relief comes, he clings to what he knows.

And in doing so, he shows us how faith can survive even when God feels far away.

This episode is for anyone who has ever whispered, “I still believe… but I can’t feel God anymore.”
