– The Word can meet you even in motionless places.
Sometimes it’s not that you don’t believe — it’s that you’re standing still, unsure what believing is supposed to look like right now.
You pray, but it feels like the words hit the ceiling.
You read, but it’s like the verses float past your heart.
You show up, but something in you feels…stalled.
I’ve been there. Maybe you’re there right now.
When we feel spiritually stuck, it’s easy to assume we must be broken, disqualified, or somehow less faithful. But the truth is: stillness is not failure. It’s a place the Word knows how to reach.
Isaiah 30:15 (NIV) says:
“This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: ‘In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.'”
Quietness. Trust. Rest.
God isn’t always demanding motion; sometimes He’s inviting trust when there’s no movement at all.
Even when we feel paralyzed — by fear, confusion, disappointment, or weariness — the Word speaks. It reminds us that salvation doesn’t begin in our striving. Strength doesn’t begin in our sprinting. It begins in stillness.
If you’re stuck, you’re not abandoned.
If you’re still, you’re not forgotten.
If you’re paused, you’re not disqualified.
The same God who parted the sea can reach into the stillness of your spirit and remind you:
You are loved even in this.
You are seen even in this.
You are still His even in this.
Let the Word meet you where you are — even if where you are feels like nowhere at all.
