MALACHI - WHY DOES GOD FEEL DISTANT?

from Inspirations with Pastor Paul · host Paul Atina Omayio

Have you ever felt spiritually dry—when prayer feels routine, worship feels empty, and the passion you once had for God seems to be fading? The Book of Malachi speaks directly to that season. Malachi is God's loving wake-up call to people whose hearts had slowly drifted from Him. They were still worshipping, still giving, and still going through the motions—but God wanted something deeper: their hearts, their devotion, and their best. In this devotional, we explore what Malachi teaches about spiritual dryness, returning to God, wholehearted worship, giving, obedience, trust, faithfulness, and God's promise to remember those who honor Him. God says: “Return to Me, and I will return to you.” — Malachi 3:7 Maybe your faith has grown cold. Maybe you've been giving God your leftovers instead of your best. Maybe you've wondered whether God has forgotten you. He hasn't. Malachi reminds us that God's silence is not His absence. He is calling you closer. He is inviting you to return. And sometimes the silence between chapters is not the end—it's preparation for what God is about to do. PRAYER: Lord, draw my heart back to You. Revive what has grown cold in me. Restore my passion, renew my devotion, and teach me to trust You completely. Help me give You my best and walk with You wholeheartedly. Amen.
