Seeking Clarity and Renewed Faith

I've been feeling this nagging spiritual dryness lately that I can’t quite shake off. It’s like I’m going through the motions, attending church, praying, but it all feels so routine and shallow. I crave a deeper connection with God, but the more I seek it, the more doubt creeps in. It’s hard, especially when I see friends who seem to have such vibrant faith. I know comparison isn’t helpful, but I can’t help feeling lost sometimes. I’ve been praying for clarity about my next steps in life—whether I should stay in my current job, seek something new, or go back to school. I feel overwhelmed with options but underwhelmed with peace about any of them. I have this desire to align my life with God’s purpose but just can’t discern what that should look like. If you could pray that I would find direction and really feel God's presence again, I would truly appreciate it. Your support means so much as I navigate through this challenging season.
