Rachel WojoWhy God Feels Distant
February 11, 2026 ● 16 minShare this episode
Have you ever felt like God went quiet on you? Like you're showing up, opening your Bible, praying the prayers, but hearing nothing back? That silence can feel louder than any storm.
In this episode, Rachel dives into the powerful tension between Psalm 34:17 ("The LORD hears") and Psalm 44:23 ("Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep?") and what it means when both feel true at the same time. She shares from her own season of spiritual silence after losing her daughter and how God showed up in whispers when she was waiting for thunder.
You'll discover:
- Why God's felt presence isn't the same as His actual presence
- How to keep silence from rewriting what you know to be true about God
- What the Psalms teach us about holding honest pain and real trust in the same prayer
- Why some of your deepest growth happens in the quiet
- How to ask God for whispers when you can't hear His voice
If you're in a season where God feels distant and your prayers feel hollow, this episode will remind you that silence is not absence. The battle through silence is still a battle worth fighting.
