When you think God doesn’t want to talk to you or do great things in your life… | Dahter

[@Angeloflight7]

I hate that the enemy makes it seem like being in a relationship with God is this hard, painful, unrealistic thing because of how he deludes everything. Videos like this continue to remind that it's not hard because God is a person so it logically makes sense that He wants to be in relationship with us and that means learning about Him and being super intrigued by Him. That's all I want- to turn off the noise and learn more and more about God and His character and to also experience every part of it. This video reminds me that to do that, it's such a beautiful thing, just like with a close friend. For me though, it also reveals beyond the enemy fighting against this process, why it can be hard for me and it's due to, for me for the longest time being treated by ppl I thought were friends, in a way that made me feel like they didn't want to be around me. So I find myself hiding myself away from God to "spare Him the dread" of having to spend time with me cos I was taught for a long time that "I'm just not worth it". Needless to say, lots of unlearning from lies taking place, and I thank God for that❤

Some of my favorite memories with GOD happen when im not really doing much of anything. Sometime we just sit around playing games on my phone together or inviting Him to just be with me before bed or even while im falling asleep.

[@Lute-I3s]

This is confirmation from what I received from God yesterday when I had my prayer walk. Just sitting with Him in silence. For me it was like this, I felt not having soemthing to pray about was an excuse to not talk to Him. But, I could just be with Him in silence. Be aware and conscious of His presence. Just to sit with Him...

[@Squirrel-2551]

He is growing us when He chooses not to answer. A new-born baby needs the pacifier, loving arms, and needs met right away; while a grown-up is content to wait for needs to be fulfilled. Also, many times we are looking for the hands of God (his blessings, breakthroughs, deliverances, healing), instead of His face (presence). I have come to know from personal experience that it pleases the Lord more than anything if we just want to spend time in His presence, without asking for anything. Such time is valued highly by the Lord. It gives Him the honor and glory He deserves.

[@josephbachota]

I got this a lot when I was in Iraq and in Afghanistan. It's ok sis, it's normal! God will always take His children through the wilderness and there maybe many wilderness experiences in our lives that we go through, trust me, it totally sucks, especially during hard times, in my case, I was at war, but it happens. Can we trust God even when we can't trace Him? That's what faith is, and that's one of the points of the wilderness. God seems to shut us out and the windows of heaven seem to be cut off for a reason to grow and mature us! Again it sucks, but it is normal! and it does increase prayer life! I feel ya sis! I'm seeking God for direction right now, so I get it, much agape love, Joe

[@openarms2762]

I don't know where u have been but I am so glad and thankful to hear u cause I've been going through something for a while and I said God I don't want all that but I was scared to express that too him anyway it's too much to text about but anyway, JESUS thank you and thank you 😊

[@JUSTUs-w5k]

The waiting period is so hard but God hear our prayers! For whoever read this I pray in the name of Jesus for healing, restoration and peace! I am walking through a rough time in my marriage

[@RepeatAfterMe-IAM-sirekawg]

Same to you 🙏

[@JadAngel]

Same to u ❤

[@jacqulynvincent]

I’ve been there in my marriage. I pray that y’all come out on top in Jesus name!! Keep praying and putting it in Gods hands

[@taylorclark889]

This reminds me of a parent teaching their child emotional permanence. “These times that I’m away from you or you don’t have reminders, know that I still love you.” That’s a really mature lesson!

[@enpafe]

You make me see God as a person, not just an answering machine or some kind of receptionist for my prayers. Sure, i don't feel Him as much as I want to, there aren't any tears or speaking in tongues. But maybe you just want me to sit with You, trust that you're there. That i don't have to *do* anything to have you hear me or near me. But to know that you want to be with me, You want time with me. Time i need to start giving more often, regardless lf what i need or feel. God bless you, Deanna ❤

[@sanna8283]

This was one of the Most Beautiful messages i've heard 🥲. The Lord is a person with a personality and we tend to forget that. This was Beautiful, thank you sister ❤. God bless you! Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@chrislajoseph6317]

I love this. I started doing this very thing on Shabbat, that’s my day with Him. I literally do nothing except spend time with Him in His word away from the world. It’s the most chill. Some times I get revelation, rest that I didn’t get throughout the week, sometimes I get healing or restored but it’s just a beautiful time and date I have with Him and He sups with me. It’s now a life style💕 He is with me always but this day is set apart and it’s so special. Thanks for sharing these beautiful moments. I know so many are getting inspired and finding ways to navigate friendship and relationship with the Most High💕

[@lashonhenry4105]

I always tell the Lord He’s Beautiful. He told me to sit in Silence, a few mornings ago. I’m learning to sit still. Sometimes I just cry and don’t know why. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@audreyorona2890]

As I’m watching this the Lord gave me this vision of my newborn crying while I’m trying to help my toddler. And my baby will cry until I finally come to her and give her what she wants but I’ve heard her since she opened her mouth to cry. She’s emotionally disturbed that her paci fell out again but I know she’s completely cared for in every way while I tend to my older baby who needs my attention atm.

[@thabimas161]

Lord I’ll be your place of rest ❤that was profound 🌹

[@kellarenna]

I love this. I cried during prayer last night bc there was a time in my time I would hear the audible voice of God frequently. He'd give me dreams visions and revelations almost every day. I was truly changing from the inside out. I felt like we had such an incredible bond and I took the time to love and cherish god Over the years I fell back 😔 I am ashamed of myself. There's a part of me that feels like god is upset w me or that hes given up on me bc I have repeated certain sins over and over knowing its wrong but not caring I really struggle w this. I just want to know god forgives me and is still here. And i want to strengthen our relationship again

[@alexarc3815]

Read his word. ❤ Trust in his promises.

[@eyerusalem8566]

It hurts so much more when you feel like you should know better than what you did. It hurts deeply when you know God and tasted his love but somehow you found a way to drift away from him and find your self in a deep mess and you don’t even know why you did what you did and why you are keep doing it even though you feel like you love God. You are not alone in this journey. God is not mad at you and He is waiting for you to come back. There is nothing that you can do that would make God hate you. I asked God to take me so many time because I gave up but every time I gave up God continues. Are you still alive? Then God is giving you another chance. He is waiting for you. He is in pain when you are in pain. Go back to God and tell him. Tell Him you don’t know what to do. Tell him you are sorry. Tell him you have no hope except him. Tell him you love him and you miss those day you felt close to him. Tell him you want him to bring you back and you can’t do it on your own. I’ll pray for you. God bless you❤

[@jaanabanana7048]

I hope this blesses you and touches your heart as much as it did mine. Many of us know the new testament verses about how we cannot be separated from the love of God, but this was the single verse from God that gave me the new perspective and full understanding I needed of His unchanging love for us. Isaiah 54:4-10 NKJV "Do not fear, for you will not be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your widowhood anymore. [5] For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. [6] For the LORD has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused," Says your God. [7] "For a mere moment I have forsaken you, But with great mercies I will gather you. [8] With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you," Says the LORD, your Redeemer. [9] "For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; For as I have sworn That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, So have I sworn That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you. [10] For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed," Says the LORD, who has mercy on you. Isn't it crazy? He says that His newfound covenant of peace for us is just like the promise He made to Noah. Just as the earth will never be flooded the same, He swears He will NOT be angry with us or rebuke us. He may chastise His children, but He will not punish us according to our sins when we ask for forgiveness, BECAUSE Jesus' blood paid IN FULL❤ Go ahead and read the verse in full, and may you be set free by the truth of His word. If you will truly repent, go and sin no more friend. Cheering you on and praying for you 🙌

[@monquelgorman7831]

This has given a perspective I would have never gotten on my own. Thank you. I’ve rededicated my life to God and I see I have much to learn.

[@Rachellittlelamb78]

Now the saying, silence speaks so loudly makes sense ❤

[@lyannajordan1997]

“That’s just what he does/a part of him” “It’s not his essence” That was good

[@kayjay326]

He desires a relationship with us but He doesn't need us... or anything. He is our GOD - All praises to the King of Kings ⚔

[@JulianCaesaro]

Wow, so anointed! The Lord really gave you the voice of wisdom 👀 Hallelujah!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@linvi_chemutai]

The best thing i saw about this feeling is that this is where our "walk by faith and not by sight" In this case, walk by faith and not by his presence or voice. He is always with us, thats the faith we should lean on. Be blessed 🙏🏿

[@jordancushnie792]

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:2

[@kaysense6136]

This has hit me so hard. After my journey with my last baby being born with a major birth defect, going through NICU, coming home on hospice and passing away after being home one week. I really thought I did something wrong, I thought he was mad at me, thought he didn’t love me, bc he didn’t heal her. They always say speak life , expect miracles and ect… went from that to angry with him not doing or saying anything to me, I’ve prayed and asked what his purpose is for making me and my family go through all of this multiple times. And I just go back and forth between these feelings and things. 😭😭😭 thank you for sharing, it’s something I need to think about.

[@Aymyanimelover]

Thank you Lord for allowing me to delight. In your presence, God help me to sit in silence and just be with you Amen!

[@xavierthomas5835]

Amen

[@adoramy2013]

Thank you for this. Just having a relationship with God is a privilege.

[@darnelldaniels4109]

Wow.... This gives a whole new perspective of relationship with God.🙏🏾

[@sylvineineza606]

"Afraid of the silence" So beautifully phrased...that's what it is

[@jaanabanana7048]

This is a video made 5 months before reaching me, but God is so good in His timing. This past week has been my "learning how to rest in His silence week". I've squiggled and squirmed so far in the worries of "am I doing enough?", "have I done something wrong?", "why isn't God giving me any leads?", "am I still connected?", and so forth... but the truth speaks and so when I reflect, I know I've been walking closer, seeking often, staying in prayer, walking in love, and I've been absolutely sure of His continued goodness to me in this quiet season. I prayed I would know if the unsettling feeling was legit or if I was just this bad at resting, and to no ones surprise I feel He's confirmed I need to learn how to rest in Him. It's more difficult that we think initially to enter into His rest, but I think once we've fully understood, it becomes so so sweet. His presence is so so sweet. Now, when I get restless for more, I'm learning how to reflect and just thank Him for what He's already given.

[@adriennegoodwin4966]

In this process as well. Having difficulty settling with the fact that the Almighty Eternal Creator of the Entire Universe is just...sitting with me. I'm like: how are you just sitting with me when the world is falling apart lol. But He makes all the responsibilities in my life just feel like dust when he makes me settle in his presence instead of making my problems go away.

[@unathithonga4366]

This is deep.. Maybe that's really what those moments of "silence" are for. To teach us how to rest in Him and not feel the need to do anything to that makes us feel like it was the reason He performs the miracles anyway. He just wants us to sit and rest in Him as He sits and rests in us. Hmmm. Thanks for this Dee

[@__fruit__of__the__spirit__]

God is not human. He has abundant energy. He does not need to rest.

[@TerrapinTales]

Genesis reminds us that He DOES rest, though; in fact it was built into the process of creation!

[@lettinggrace]

This is so eye opening when different things are happening. Sitting with him and his presence eternally being with us is such a treasure. God knows that rest is so healing. God bless you❤

[@RepeatAfterMe-IAM-sirekawg]

Thank you for your complete honesty. Lord knows some of us are too afraid to speak it, but God knows it all. We fool ourselves. Bless you, sister. You have been such a blessing to me during this walk. This is what I desire as well. I feel like a circus monkey sometimes. Like he may not think I love him if I am not face down 😢 see my heart Lord. I just want to know we're good right now and hence forth, amen 🙏

[@CrissyCare2-rw6ss]

These were videos I needed in my life. I’m instantly crying because this is so true. How selfish we can be sometimes … and I was being so selfish towards God that it hurts me listening to this because I knew and doubted myself and doubted him so much.

[@jeneahalle]

"Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40: 28-31

[@NJ-ll6ju]

This is an eye opener she puts it in perspective I’m crying listening to her it’s so true. Praying prayers going up people getting upset with God for not answering your needs wants. I’m so sorry wow God needs rest to.

[@kamyah785]

God loves all of you always even through the toughest times and even through your weaknesses! God chose you! So keep believing even when it’s hard! Keep communicating with God!

[@shereecespence]

Wow this was a divine moment. I'm currently asking myself can God rest with me? Can God just be with me? God bless you lovely lady for sharing such deep moment with us 🙏🏾

[@nge-mu]

What do you do when He has been quiet for so long, year after year that you feel exhausted, ignored and rejected by Him? When even hope is dwindling?

[@JesusSaves383]

Just know that he is. It's a fact ! He will never forsake any of us, for he loves us and he promised. And he is faithful to keep his promises. If you're convicted to have offended him, come to him with sincerity and a repentent heart and he'll forgive you. Sometimes, as the Bible says, he remains silent to test us, maybe to see if we keep faith in him no matter what. But he is there and his hand is certainly on his children.

Thank you for sharing these little nuggets of wisdom. ❤

[@ClassyChassy88]

This is so profound especially during this season in my life.

[@EnJay_nted]

These were the exact thoughts I had the other day. When I did not see him performing any miracles in my life that I needed and every other christian around me had miracles in their life. First I was throwing a fit at him and then I started accepting the plans He had for me, though I am not liking what He's doing currently, then I said, you do not have to perform miracles for me to believe that you are God. I know with every fibre of my heart that you are God, a living God. So do what you have started, I'll stay calm and see where you are taking me and I hope that I'll love the place you are taking me to when I go there, eventhough I do not like it from here. That's what I said. And this video has me crying 😢

[@alwaysfacingtheSon]

Your comment has me crying😢 I had a very similar convo with God today in my prayer time.. even if I may be disappointed please help my disappointment, give me wisdom and understanding so I may not be disappointed.. and regardless of the outcome for what I’m waiting on, I will still obey regardless because He is still a good good Father & will always be my Bestfriend ❤️‍🔥

Thats a beautiful thing sister. Heaven here is understanding who he is. And reveling in our heart over him. Thats all im seeking after nowadays.

Where I struggle to accept this perspective is that God is omnipotent, omnipresent, all-capable, and so much more. God rested when He created Earth. He rested when He was a man on Earth. Now, He's a Spirit. And He actively *instructs* us to cast our cares on Him, trust Him, request things of Him, etc. Please explain this. Please help.
