I stand behind a guitar and see the people being moved by the presence of God…and just yesterday been standing in the congregation , just compounded something.. the silence that had been growing. It just became more and more difficult overtime to connect with them feel connected to God… I yearned for him for quite a long time and then after awhile I didn’t seem to be able to get back into that place… But I still wake every morning and pray and spend time the best I can master that my mind is doubting about and it can be like waiting through treacle. I talked to him during the day in my mind in my heart and I continue to play the guitar and do the things I think he wants me to do to the best of my ability, but I really yearn for him like a deer pants for water that whole psalm yes.. anyway everything I’ve read above has been really helpful this morning thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing that. I’m sorry for what you had to experience. My mom passed away after a long Alzheimers battle in 2021. After spending 35 years in ministry to people _ i saw with heart disease, cancer, all sorts of disease – all of which can be so horrible, but the Alzheimer’s journey brings with it layers of pain that it’s hard to explain. God bless you and thanks for reading!

After many years of tangible Presence and guiding “words” from the Holy Spirit, I have been in a VERY long season of “silence”. I have examined and checked for disobedience, sin, etc. But I do recognize conviction as much as I do know His voice. I’ve walked with Him for nearly 55 years. My Dad passed from Alzheimer’s last year, and Mom is now in Hospice, but holding on and on by a thread. It is so hard to see someone die slowly. Your article reminds me of the Truth. And thank you for delineating regarding emotional fatigue. THANK YOU. He is STILL my Jehovah Shamah- the Lord Who is there.
