Where are you, God?

Dear God It’s getting hard for me to pretend I’m okay. I’m starting to doubt that You’re here with me, because every time I reach out, it feels like You turn away. You said You would never leave me, never let me stand alone but right now it feels like I’m standing in a place where even my voice can’t reach You. I’m confused, I’m tired, and I’m hurting. I’m trying to hold onto the belief that You’re still close, but the silence is loud and it scares me. I don’t need miracles or big signs. I just need something small but real— something that shows me I’m not invisible, that I’m not forgotten, that You still see me. Maybe send someone who carries the warmth I’m missing, someone who can remind me of the love I’m struggling to feel from You. Because right now, I just want to feel like I matter to You as much as You once made me believe. I’m not giving up, but I’m asking please don’t let me feel alone in this.
