Faith Crisis: What Do We Do When We Feel Nothing

Dad, I cant do it anymore. Im gay. Michael Mcleans son had come out to him. Dad, Ive tried to do everything you said. I went on my mission. I was an Eagle Scout. And I dont know how to get through it. Michael felt his sons pain and wanted to support him. So, he turned to God in prayer. Michael had received answers before. He knew they would come, but he felt nothing. It was the first time in his life the heavens felt shut. His prayers couldnt get past the ceiling. Michael begged God to talk to him. It was challenging the first weeks and months, but as two years passed, Michael questioned, What if I got it wrong Is there really a God who hears my prayers He asked himself, Can I keep the promises Ive made when my heart feels nothing Michael got on his knees and prayed, as he had countless times before.
