I Didn’t Think God Was Listening…

For the longest time, I felt unseen and unheard—like my thoughts and feelings didn’t matter. I wondered if God was even listening. Anxiety told me I was wasting His time. Depression told me I didn’t belong. But then I started journaling my prayers, and everything changed.

Writing helped me process my emotions, see God’s hand in my life, and find healing in His presence. Psalm 147:3 says, ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.’ And I’ve experienced that healing firsthand.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, I want to encourage you—start writing. Your words matter to God, and He is always listening.

✨ Have you ever journaled your prayers? How has it helped you in your faith? Let’s talk in the comments! ⬇️💬

... Read moreMany individuals struggle with feeling unheard or unseen, especially during challenging times. Journaling can be an incredibly therapeutic outlet, providing a space to express emotions, fears, and hopes. It allows one to articulate complex feelings, which can often be difficult to share with others. By writing down prayers and reflections, individuals can reflect on how God might be working in their lives, even in moments of despair. According to many spiritual guides, including Psalm 147:3, God offers healing to the brokenhearted. This truth is vital for those feeling the weight of anxiety or depression. Journaling not only serves as a channel for self-reflection but also establishes a dialogue with God. Each entry becomes an opportunity to feel His presence and reassurance. If you find yourself struggling with feelings of isolation or insignificance in your faith journey, consider starting a journal. Write without fear of judgment, allow your thoughts to flow freely, and witness how this practice can foster a deeper sense of connection with your beliefs and with God. Remember, your words hold significance, and through this journey of writing, healing is possible.

Journaling is a wonderful outlet for emotions and especially spiritual matters. Sometimes it helps to see how dramatic you are being toward yourself.

Rest as Worship and Hearing God
You can be productive and still be misaligned. There was a season where my activity looked like obedience. I was building, leading, responding, managing. But the source shifted. It stopped coming from listening. It started coming from pressure. Hearing the voice of God requires alignment,

PCOS Made Me Think I Was Lazy
I used to think I was just lazy. But it was PCOS — draining my energy, messing with my cravings, making me feel like a stranger in my own body. Healing didn’t mean doing more. It meant listening more — to the crash, the cravings, the quiet signals. 💗 To anyone feeling “off” but still showing u

God will make a way 🫶
Just a reminder that God didn't remove the Red Sea.. He parted it. He isn't going to remove the situation but He will make a way through it. Trust that God is always on time. Even when we think He is too late. 🩷 #godislistening #godisneverlate #godwillworkitout #godisstrength #fyp

DONT REGRET NOT LISTENING TO THE END!!!
To regret or not to regret that has been an ultimate question at times. I’ve come to learn. There’s some things I will regret, but those tend to be social situations but the good things I can always do better the next time, but I may not always be able to do better with the same person. No apart

God Doesn’t Speak in Shame
Romans 8:1 "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Shame whispers lies that keep you stuck. It tells you you’re too far gone, too broken, too sinful for grace to reach. But listen closely, that’s not the voice of God. God corrects with love,
