Someone recently asked me, “What if I don’t feel close to God?” If you don’t feel close to God, don’t panic—you’re not alone. Countless believers have walked through dry seasons where God feels distant. The important thing to remember is that your relationship with God is based on truth, not feelings. Feelings fluctuate; truth does not. If you have trusted in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, you are permanently His—fully accepted, eternally secure, and unconditionally loved (John 1:12; Rom 8:38–39; Eph 1:6). You may not feel close, but God has promised, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you” (Heb 13:5). That’s not a mood—that’s a fact. Live by faith, not feelings.
