In short: Totally normal. Feelings come and go; looking for God takes an honest mind, a willing heart, and a few people who help you look. CCC 30

The answer, in writing

Church teaching

The Catechism is honest that this search takes effort: “every effort of intellect, a sound will, ‘an upright heart’, as well as the witness of others who teach him to seek God.” CCC 30

Our words

Feelings are like weather. They come and go. Faith isn’t a feeling; it’s a choice to keep showing up. Keep asking, keep looking, and find a few people to look with you.

Next step: Is anyone there?

Honestly? The best answers come from people, not websites. Take the next step: find a parish near you
