Do you ever feel like you’re spending time in prayer, but God feels far away? You’re not alone. 

In today’s conversation, we’re diving deep into that spiritual struggle of feeling distant from God — even when you’re doing all the right things, like praying and showing up. We'll talk about what might really be happening beneath the surface, the sneaky spiritual battles that can keep us from feeling connected, and how to hear God’s truth and anchor yourself in His Word when you can’t feel Him near.

If you're ready to break free from that feeling of being stuck, grab your favorite pen, your Catholic Bible, your notebook, journal, and a quiet space. Let’s walk together through this conversation — one that will remind you that God is always closer than you think.

I pray that this episode blesses and encourages you!

Michelle
