If it seems that your prayers are not answered, that your spiritual life is barren, without meaning, and that God does not pay attention on you or even that He doesn't love you, this podcast if for you.

Learn in this podcast how to exert faith amid darkness, and to discern between faith and feeling, because they are distinct. Learn that faith does not require correspondent feeling to be genuine; that it is exactly when feeling is absent that we are called to exercise our faith. Learn not to evaluate your faith through your feelings (which can be a very deceptive attitude).

Discover also how not to rely on feelings for your religious experience. Know that good feelings does not automatically mean God's approval, and that the opposite is also true. After all, what are the evidences that you are living by faith?

This message, presented during the General Conference Sabbath School and Stewardship Departmental Worship on November 18, 2020, is based on Hebrews 11:1 and Ellen G. White's Testimonies, Vol. 1, page 167 (https://m.egwwritings.org/en/book/116.838#838).
