How to Pray When You’re Spiritually Numb
Feb 12, 2026
Spiritual numbness happens — seasons when prayer feels empty and God seems distant. Instead of avoiding prayer, bring that numbness to Him. Start small. Even a short prayer like, “God, I feel nothing, but I’m here,” is an act of faith. Read Scripture out loud to engage your mind and heart. Consider adding physical actions like kneeling or lifting your hands. Sometimes movement helps stir what words cannot. Over time, your persistence will speak louder than your feelings — and God will honor your desire to keep coming.
