If you haven’t watched the video yet, I suggest starting there.
This blog is for those seasons when emotions feel muted and the heart feels a little distant — and you want reassurance without pressure to feel something again.
And before we go any further, let me say this plainly:
If you have questions, or if something here stirs something in you and you don’t quite know how to name it, please feel free to ask.
I don’t have all the answers — but I care, and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can.
You don’t have to walk this alone.
There are times in the walk with Jesus
when the heart feels… numb.
Not angry.
Not rebellious.
Not despairing.
Just quiet.
Flat.
Unresponsive.
And that can be frightening for people who truly love the Lord.
We start asking ourselves:
Why don’t I feel what I used to feel?
Did I lose something?
Did God step back?
But numbness is not always a spiritual problem.
Sometimes it’s a protective pause.
🌱 Numbness Is Not the Same as Absence
We often assume that closeness to God must always feel warm or emotional.
But scripture gently corrects that idea.
“The Lord knoweth them that are his.”
(2 Timothy 2:19)
God’s nearness is not measured by sensation.
It’s measured by relationship.
Feelings fluctuate.
Faith abides.
Walking with Jesus sometimes means trusting His presence
even when the heart feels quiet.
📖 Jesus Knows What It Is to Feel Emotionally Spent
Jesus experienced deep emotion —
and also deep exhaustion.
After intense ministry, He withdrew.
After sorrow, He rested.
He did not force Himself to feel strong all the time.
“And being weary with his journey, sat thus on the well.”
(John 4:6)
Weariness is not sin.
Emotional flatness is not failure.
Sometimes the body and the soul are simply tired.
🌿 The Book of Mormon: Faith Without Feeling
The Book of Mormon makes room for quiet faith.
Alma teaches that faith can exist
even before anything is felt or seen.
“Faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things.”
(Alma 32:21)
If you are still choosing honesty…
still choosing kindness…
still choosing to walk forward…
Faith is present —
even if feeling is not.
🔥 The Nemenhah Records: Seasons of Inner Stillness
The Nemenhah teachings speak of seasons in the soul.
The elders teach that there are times when the inner senses grow quiet —
not as punishment,
but as restoration.
The Peacemaker does not demand constant feeling or expression.
Those who walk the Way learn that numbness can be a season of healing beneath the surface, where the Haymehnay (Holy Spirit) works gently, unseen.
Stillness does not mean nothing is happening.
It often means something deeper is being repaired.
🌱 When You Don’t Feel Love, Joy, or Peace
If you’re in a place where:
• prayer feels neutral
• scripture doesn’t stir much
• worship feels routine
Don’t rush to fix it.
The Psalmist knew this place too:
“Why art thou cast down, O my soul?… hope thou in God.”
(Psalm 42:11)
Hope is not emotion.
Hope is direction.
Sometimes the most faithful thing you can do
is simply keep walking.
🕊️ Jesus Does Not Withdraw Because You Feel Numb
This matters.
Jesus does not leave because your emotions quiet down.
He does not measure your devotion by intensity.
If you are still turning toward Him —
even faintly —
He is still with you.
“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
(Hebrews 13:5)
Numbness does not scare Him.
🌿 A Gentle Word — and an Open Door
If you feel numb right now,
be kind to yourself.
Rest.
Breathe.
Stay close in simple ways.
And if you’re confused, discouraged, or just need to ask something out loud, please feel free to reach out and ask.
I may not have every answer — but I will listen, and I will try to help as best I can.
Sometimes just being heard
is part of the healing.
You don’t need to manufacture feeling.
You don’t need to relive old emotions.
Just stay with Jesus.
That is enough for this season.
