Sometimes there are seasons where the words in the Bible feel exactly how Hebrews 4:12 describes it, alive and active. Verses jumping off of the page. Deep revelation from the Holy Spirit. Joy and excitement while reading and learning and looking forward to coming back each day for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in other seasons, that excitement may not be there. The words may not be jumping off of the page. You may not feel connected and sometimes have to re-read the scripture multiple times to try to understand what it\u2019s even saying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been through waves of these different seasons. I loved the close connection to God and His word and the amazing things I would learn. Then, when it felt like that feeling wasn\u2019t there, I would freak out wondering what I did wrong to not be in that place anymore and I would push to try to get back to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve learned over time that it\u2019s not always about having done something wrong to feel distant or disconnected from God. Sometimes it could just be God wanting to take us deeper. For me, it taught me that a relationship is not just about a feeling. If I don\u2019t feel <\/em>connected, would I still show up or walk away? If I didn\u2019t feel <\/em>God helping me, would I still make the effort or give up? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even when I didn\u2019t feel God, or didn\u2019t understand what I was reading, or have the energy, I made an attempt to give what I could. Even if it was two minutes and I didn\u2019t think I got anything out of it. That\u2019s okay. I can say that to God. And I can try again the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I learned that He is my source. The one who makes me better. And His word gives me wisdom and strength and peace to navigate each day. And some days I may not feel those things, but I love God and want to be in His presence and even if it may not happen every day, I trust there will be another season of that felt closeness and so I make a choice to show up with what I can give. And I trust that pleases God – being honest with where we are and still bringing that or whatever we have to Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the seasons of disconnect, I tried out different resources that could pour into me and help carry more of the weight when I didn\u2019t have the energy or the brain capacity to dissect and research on what I was studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are some tools I tried out that helped change things up when things felt stale and disconnected in my quiet time with God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
