Praying when it feels empty
HelloBible · 30 October 2026 · Version

What this shows
To "how do I keep praying when it feels empty?": "When prayer feels empty, even finding words can take effort; you don't have to pretend that it feels different. God can receive an honest prayer, including one that names the silence." It offers Psalm 13:1-2 ("How long, Lord?") and notes the psalm later turns "toward trust without pretending the ache was never there". The addressed name is masked.
