Struggle to Feel Connected to God?

Sometimes we just can't seem to feel close to God — the quiet time goes flat, and everything feels like going through the motions. In this episode, Blake shares three words the Lord pressed on his heart in a season like that: input, output, and throughput — three ways to guard your heart when the distance sets in.Anchored in Proverbs 4:23, this devotional is a practical, watch-your-heart framework: guard what you let in, what comes out of you, and what runs through your mind. Blake walks through how to spot the drift early and, using a simple four-step process — recognize, confess, ask, act — work each area back toward God. You may not feel close right away, but faithfulness in these three is the road back.Follow Before the Lord on Facebook (@BeforeTheLord) and Instagram (@beforethelorddevo).
