Sacred but Sad: Faith While Healing from a Lonely Season

Mood: Raw, but resting in grace

Listening to: Roslyn – Bon Iver & St. Vincent 🎧

Lately, I’ve been feeling everything all at once — and nothing at all.

There are days where I feel invisible, like no one really sees me.

And even though I pray, even though I try to stay strong, I still feel so sad sometimes.

But what’s wild is…

God always shows up.

Right in the moment I feel like I’m slipping too deep — He sends something. A whisper. A softness. A reminder.

It might be:

• A song that plays at the exact time I needed it
• A sweet message from someone I haven’t talked to in forever
• A little breeze through the window while I cry
• Or just a feeling deep in my chest that says, “I’m still here.”

I used to think being faithful meant always being okay.

But I’m learning that you can be sacred and still sad.

You can love God and still break down.

You can be healing and holy at the same time.

I’m not perfect.

I still cry. I still overthink. I still wonder if my prayers even reach past the ceiling.

But somehow… God keeps answering. In quiet ways. In soft moments.

He hears me even when I whisper.

He finds me even when I feel lost.

And that means something.

If you’re in a sad season too — I just want you to know that your feelings are valid, and you’re not forgotten.

God sees you. He loves you. He hasn’t left you.

Not even for a second.
