Hello friend, and welcome to Empowered Faith Media, where we share the perfect love of Christ in an imperfect world.

Have you ever felt like there wasn’t a single area of your life that felt safe or steady? Perhaps your home feels chaotic, work feels draining, and even your spiritual life feels distant. If that resonates with you, sis, this post is for you.

 Before we dive in, I want to invite you to grab our FREE 40-Day Devotional Journal. Life gets loud, and when your heart feels spiritually dry, this devotional will help you reconnect with stillness, Scripture, and God’s voice.

An Honest Insight

Feeling spiritually stuck is more common than most of us are willing to admit. It doesn’t mean your faith is broken or that God has stepped away; it often means you’ve been carrying too much on your own. Sometimes what your soul needs isn’t a big leap of faith, but a gentle, small step forward.

Over the years, I’ve learned a secret: small moves matter. Small prayers. Short Bible verses that stick in your heart. Even simple habits, like making your bed in the morning, can anchor you in discipline and remind you that you’re capable of moving forward, one step at a time.

3 Ways to Move Forward When You Feel Spiritually Stuck

1. Start With Small Prayers

When your heart feels heavy, long prayers can feel overwhelming. Instead, start small. Whisper a few words: “Lord, help me today.” Or simply, “Jesus, I need You.” God isn’t impressed by length; He treasures your honesty.

Romans 8:26 reminds us that when we don’t know how to pray, the Spirit intercedes for us.

2. Hold On to Short, Simple Scripture

Pick one verse that’s easy to memorize and repeat it throughout the day. For example:

• “Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
  
• “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.” (Psalm 23:1)
  

These short verses are like anchors, keeping you grounded when your spirit feels tossed by waves.

3. Create a Tiny Daily Ritual

Sometimes, the simplest acts reset your spirit. Making your bed. Light a candle while you read Scripture. Taking a 5-minute walk outside and thanking God for creation. These small practices build momentum and remind you that God meets you in ordinary moments.

When you feel spiritually stuck, don’t pressure yourself to leap forward. Instead, take one small step. A short prayer, a verse to hold onto, a simple habit that brings you back to center. Over time, those small steps become steady progress, leading you closer to God’s presence and peace.
