Doubts creeping in

[KildareBrigid]

I’ve been praying very hard for a health related issue, and I’ve also been asking to help accept God’s will. The problem is I feel so distant from God right now and lost. I’m doubting His love. I’m doubting that He hears my prayers. I don’t want to feel this way, but right now, I do.

I almost don’t feel like praying because I feel emotionally tired.

For anyone else who has experienced this, how do you overcome it?

This is very normal. MANY of the Saints in heaven went through periods of doubt in their faith journey. All I can say is keep persevering. You may fee distant from God but he is not distant from you. I am in a tough spot in my life right now and I keep remembering that even though I am not finding immediate resolutions, I know he could be saying “not yet.” I will pray for you!
