You’re Not Behind in Your Relationship with God

If you’ve ever felt like you should be farther along in your relationship with God by now, you’re not alone. A lot of women quietly carry the feeling that they should pray better, understand the Bible more deeply, or be more spiritually consistent than they are. But relationship with God was never meant to be measured by an imaginary spiritual timeline.

Life has seasons. Capacity changes. And none of that disqualifies you from closeness with God.

In this conversation, we’re talking about spiritual pressure, changing seasons, returning to God after dry or difficult stretches, and why “catching up” was never the goal in the first place.

“Returning is not starting from zero.”
