In this episode, Petia explores why believers sometimes don’t feel God emotionally and why this does NOT mean God is distant. She shares encouragement, Scripture, and seven biblical ways we often sense God that have nothing to do with feelings.
 
Key Points:
Feelings are not the measure of God’s presence.
Exhaustion and motherhood deeply affect emotional sensitivity.
God’s presence is constant even when our awareness is low.
Silence is often God deepening spiritual maturity.
Practical steps to reconnect with God gently.
 
7 Ways We Sense God (Even Without Feelings):
A verse becomes alive.
Peace that doesn’t make sense.
Strength you didn’t have before.
Desire to pray, even weakly.
Gentle conviction or redirection.
Moments of comfort — music, words, quiet.
Perseverance that comes from the Holy Spirit.
 
Scriptures Included:
Psalm
James
