Reconnecting with Faith After a Difficult Experience

Published November 25th, 2025 by Roark Kerr & Associates Christian Life Coaching

Faith doesn’t always stick around when life gets rough. One hard moment can make everything you believed feel far away. Prayers stop making sense. The words in scripture sound empty. You want to feel close to God again, but nothing clicks. This isn’t rare. It happens to more people than you think.

Facing the Wall

When faith slips, the first thing you notice is the wall. It’s not always obvious. Sometimes it’s a slow drift—less prayer, less hope, more doubt. Other times, it’s a hard stop. You try to pray, but the words don’t come. You open your Bible, but nothing sticks. The wall grows higher every day you stay silent about it.

Old routines lose their comfort. The songs, the verses, the rituals—none of it feels right.
Questions pile up. Why did this happen? Where was God? Why do I feel alone?
Shame creeps in. You wonder if you’re the only one who can’t bounce back.

That wall doesn’t move on its own. It takes honest work to name what’s blocking you. With our faith-based counseling support, you have a place to say what you’re really thinking, without judgment, without pressure to “just believe.”

Letting Questions Breathe

Most people try to hide their doubts. They keep up appearances, hoping the old spark will return. But faith doesn’t grow in the dark. It needs air. It needs space for hard questions. What if you could lay it all out—anger, confusion, disappointment—and not get shut down?

That’s where real change starts. In a room where you can say, “I don’t know if I believe this anymore,” and someone nods instead of correcting you. Through our Christian coaching services in Lubbock, we offer that kind of space. You get to ask, wrestle, and even sit in silence. No one rushes you. No one tries to fix you. The process is slow, but it’s honest. And honesty is the only only way forward.

Scripture that speaks to your actual struggle, not just the easy answers
Support that doesn’t flinch at your hardest questions

When Doubt Won’t Let Go

Doubt doesn’t always fade with time. Sometimes it digs in. You replay old wounds. You remember prayers that went unanswered. You see others thriving in faith and wonder what’s wrong with you. The cycle repeats: doubt, guilt, silence.

That’s where experienced Christian life coaches step in. We don’t offer quick fixes. Instead, our team helps you trace the roots of your doubt. Maybe it started with a loss. Maybe it’s tied to a church hurt hurt or a family wound. Whatever the source, you don’t have to carry it alone. Intensive spiritual therapy gives you tools to name the pain, process it, and start building something new.

Identify the triggers that keep you stuck
Develop coping strategies grounded in biblical truth
Learn to hold faith and doubt in the same hand, without shame

Progress isn’t always linear. Some days you’ll feel strong. Other days, the questions return. That’s normal. The key is having support that doesn’t waver when you do.

Trusting Again

Letting go of control is one of the hardest parts of faith. You want answers. You want a timeline. But faith rarely works on your schedule. Through Christian hypnotherapy and specialized coaching, you learn to sit with uncertainty. You stop forcing outcomes. You start to notice small signs of hope: a moment of peace, a new insight, a sense that you’re not as alone as you thought.

Clinical knowledge meets spiritual wisdom in these sessions. You get practical tools for anxiety and restlessness. You also get reminders that you don’t have to have it all figured out. Trust grows in the waiting, not in the answers.

Release the need to control every outcome
Practice presence, focus on today, not just the future
Find peace in the process, even when the destination isn’t clear

Finding People Who Get It

Isolation makes everything harder. When you’re struggling with faith, it’s easy to pull back. You skip church. You avoid friends who seem “more spiritual.” The loneliness deepens the struggle. But you’re not the only one walking this road.

Faith-based group programs connect you with others who know what it’s like to question, to doubt, to rebuild. These aren’t perfect people. They’re honest people. You share stories, listen, and realize you’re not alone. That sense of community does more than any book or sermon. It gives you strength to keep going.
