There are days when your faith feels strong, like an anchor holding you steady.

And then there are days when doubt creeps in quietly. You feel tired. Confused. Prayers seem to hang in the air unanswered, and you wonder if anyone’s listening.

If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone.
And no, your faith isn’t broken. It’s just being stretched.

Sometimes, we think faith has to be loud or certain. We think it should always feel like peace or joy. But the truth is, faith often grows in the silence. It deepens in the waiting. It whispers when everything else feels loud.

Faith doesn’t always look like bold confidence.
Sometimes it looks like getting out of bed when your heart is heavy.
Sometimes it’s whispering “thank you” when nothing makes sense.
Sometimes it’s just showing up, even when your soul is aching.

I’ve learned that faith isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about leaning in, even when you don’t.

When I was going through a season of uncertainty with my health, career, and self-worth I often felt like I was praying into a void. But slowly, gently, I realized that something sacred was still unfolding. I was being held, even when I couldn’t feel it. Every delay, every detour it was shaping me.

Maybe that’s happening for you too.

Maybe the silence isn’t abandonment.
Maybe it’s preparation.

If today feels heavy, this is your reminder: You don’t need to have unshakeable faith to be held by grace. Your small mustard seed of hope is enough. The doubt, the questions, the fear it doesn’t disqualify you from God’s love. It draws you deeper into it.

So take a breath. Talk to Him, even if it’s messy.
Cry if you need to. Rest if you must.
You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Let today be your gentle moment of faith: Allow yourself to believe that even in this space, even at this moment, you are being guided toward something truly beautiful.
