Bible Verses for When You Feel Spiritually Numb
Spiritual numbness isn't disbelief — it's the desert. Almost every great believer in scripture passed through one. The presence of God is not measured by your feelings, and his love for you doesn't dim when yours does.
Pray this
Pray Mark 9:24 — 'Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief.' Repeat as needed.
"How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?"
"Who is among you who fears Yahweh, who obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness, and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh's name, and rely on his God."
"I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."
"Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!"
"Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs."
