Sunkissed + Sanctified | Memo 14 When God Feels Quiet

Can we talk about the fact that nobody warns girls about the “God feels quiet” phase? 😭 Everybody loves posting about: the breakthrough, the answered prayer, the worship camp cry session, the “God showed up in SUCH a crazy way” stories.But almost nobody talks about the random Tuesday afternoons where you’re praying, reading your Bible, trying your best… and honestly?It kinda feels like Heaven left you on read.That feeling can seriously mess with your head!!Because what do you do when your faith suddenly feels quiet? Not dead. Not gone. Just… quiet.No dramatic spiritual moment. No overwhelming feelings. No “sign.”Just silence.And if we’re honest, silence makes a lot of girls panic.Like:“Wait. Did I mess something up?”“Why can’t I feel God lately?”“Why does everybody else seem spiritually on fire while I feel spiritually beige?”This conversation gets painfully real about the fact that modern girls have accidentally been trained to treat emotional highs as proof God is near.Meanwhile some of the deepest spiritual growth happens in seasons that feel completely ordinary.Like roots underground.No applause.No fireworks.No cinematic soundtrack.Just quiet trust.Psalm 13 fully enters the chat as David basically has a full:“HELLO??? ARE YOU THERE???” moment with God……and honestly?Relatable. 😭But what’s powerful is that David doesn’t fake positivity. He wrestles honestly AND stays rooted.This episode unpacks why silence does NOT mean abandonment, why God’s quiet seasons often build the strongest faith, and why maturity is learning to trust God’s character even when your feelings are being wildly dramatic.Because faith that only survives when everything feels exciting?That’s not really faith.That’s spiritual dopamine.OOF!!!Also this week’s Summer Move is called: “The Record Check.” You’re writing down moments where God HAS shown up before so your anxious little brain stops acting like He vanished forever after one emotionally confusing week.Tea in hand. Window open. Sunset outside.Time to talk about the kind of faith that survives the silence!!If FR, Let’s Talk has ever helped you laugh, think, or feel less alone… help us keep it free and accessible for every teen girl!
