About

There are probably some people who never doubt that God’s there. We are not those people. In fact, those people can sometimes be hard to understand. As confident as we can be that God is good, that Jesus died for us, and that the Holy Spirit is here to help us with our everyday lives, if we’re being really honest, there are times when we can be equally doubtful that there’s a God at all or if he even cares.

And it’s not just because bad things happen. Sure, sometimes evil makes us wonder where God is. But sometimes the busy or stressful rhythms of our lives just make it really hard to see God, to hear from him, or to believe that he’s invested in our stories.

So, if you’re there today…wondering if God is out there, or if he’s paying any attention to you, you’re in good company.

Here’s the Scripture we meditate on and the prayer we pray when we wonder if God is there.

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation” (Colossians 1:15).

𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐈𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞
Invisible God, you marked creation with your eternal power and divine nature. You made human beings in your image, to be like you and show you to one another. Jesus, you are the invisible God made flesh, so we can see, hear, and know the love of the Father. I know these things in my head, but I’m struggling to believe them in my heart. Meet me in my doubt. Remind me of your love. And, if this is the dark night of the soul, please give me hints of your light, as I wait for a tangible sense of your presence. Amen.

Different.

As Christians, we’re called to live life differently, and this plays out in many areas. Our calling impacts how we speak, serve, think, make decisions, rank our priorities… the list goes on and on.

Sometimes, this creates tension in our lives and relationships, especially with people who don’t have a relationship with God. It feels uncomfortable. It’s easy to want to go back to old ways to fit in. We all want to feel like we belong. This is a good desire!

But part of the Christian life is realizing we no longer belong with the world; we belong with God’s family. And being a part of that family means living differently, glorifying God, and loving others in a way that invites more people into the family with us.

Most of us want God’s calling to work like a map: clear directions, confirmed destinations, and no surprises. But Scripture shows us something else.

Again and again, God invites people to trust him, without knowing how things will turn out. And that can feel deeply uncomfortable, especially when you’re already anxious about getting life “right.”

The lack of clarity isn’t a sign that you’re doing something wrong. Often, it’s the environment where faith grows. God uses waiting, ambiguity, and partial understanding to shape dependence.

Discovering our calling is learned through listening, walking, stopping, and sometimes, starting over.

7 Bible Stories to Help You Hear God’s Calling explores how people in Scripture learned to follow God without full clarity, and how their uncertainty became part of their formation.

We often imagine God’s calling as clear, calm, and confidence-boosting.

But the Bible is full of calling stories that are… unsettling. Even weird!

A prophet corrected by a donkey. A farmer confronting kings. A man told to baptize the person who hunted his friends. People called not because they were ready, but because God was at work.

Scripture doesn’t hide how strange, uncomfortable, and inconvenient calling can sometimes be. God interrupts routines. He sends people where they don’t want to go. He gives messages no one asked for. And somehow, through it all, his purposes move forward.

If your sense of calling feels confusing, disruptive, or wildly different from what you expected, you’re not failing. You’re standing in a long biblical tradition.

Calling isn’t always about clarity but availability. And, it often requires faithfulness over comfort.

Our new physical study 7 Bible Stories to Help You Hear God’s Calling explores more stories of how God speaks, redirects, and forms people... not through our perfect plans, but through real life.

Do you ever wish God’s direction was more clear? That his voice would come booming down with a convincing “YES!” or “No!” to your latest request?

We are SO with you! And we believe God honors that desire to be led by him. It’s scary to feel unsure, so seeking God’s guidance in decision making can help us feel more at ease. Check out this verse about the help he gives us:

As you consider where you’re most desiring God’s direction in your life, bring it to him in prayer:

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞
“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come” (John 16:13).

𝐀 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐨𝐝`𝐬 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞
Path-maker, the One who plans my steps and whispers direction, free my heart from the pressure of what’s next and the fear of missing out on your will. My Guide, who levels the path before me, and leads me in the way of peace, go before me into the unknown way, and illuminate the darkness. Help me to be content in the waiting, and joyful in the uncertainty of today. And give me eyes to see and ears to hear when you invite me forward in faith. Amen.
