Does prayer feel pointless lately? Do you find yourself wondering if it even matters — or if God is listening at all?

If you’ve ever felt like God is distant, silent, or hard to reach after abortion, this episode is for you. Today we’re talking honestly about why prayer can feel ineffective and why God can seem far — even when you love Him and want a closer relationship.

In this episode, I’m sharing from my own spiritual journey and the seasons when God still felt distant, even after years of growth. Not from a place of condemnation or shame — but from understanding. We’re going to look at what might be getting in the way and, more importantly, what you can actually do to change that.

You’ll hear:

• Three common reasons God feels far after abortion

• Why distance doesn’t always mean abandonment — and what it often really points to

• How shame, avoidance, and control quietly disrupt intimacy with God

• One simple, practical step you can take this week to begin feeling closer to Him again

This episode isn’t about doing more or being perfect. It’s about starting where you are, stopping the hiding, and learning how to spend time with God in a way that’s honest, consistent, and life-giving.

If prayer feels hard, distant, or empty right now, this episode will help you understand why — and show you how to take the first small step back toward closeness with God. 🤍
