When God Feels Distant | Monday Morning Prayer for Spiritual Dryness

Monday morning prayer for when faith feels completely distant and the words don't come easily — and you show up to pray anyway. Spiritual dryness is one of the most disorienting experiences in the Christian life. Not doubt exactly. Not unbelief. Just an absence of feeling — the silence where the presence used to be, the hollow echo where the words used to mean something. And yet the saints throughout history have walked this same corridor, and what they discovered is this: God does not leave when the feeling does. This prayer doesn't perform. It doesn't pretend. It does the most honest and difficult thing: it shows up anyway. Because faith that only functions in the good seasons isn't yet faith — it's enthusiasm. And the Monday morning that still begins with prayer, hollow as it feels, is already an act of genuine trust. If this prayer is for your dry season, you are not alone in it. Leave an Amen if you showed up to pray today even when it felt like nothing. 🔔 Subscribe to Risen Light for a morning prayer every single day. #mondayMorningPrayer #spiritualDryness #risenlight
