Step 1.3
Identify the Wound Underneath the Distance
The distance between you and God usually has a wound underneath it. We’re going to gently name it.
You’ve told the truth about where your faith is and walked back through your timeline. Now we go one layer deeper — to the wound the distance has been protecting. This can be tender. You don’t have to fix it here. You only have to name it, so God can begin to heal it.

Part One
Common faith wounds
Read through these slowly. Tap the ones that feel familiar. Naming a wound isn’t reopening it — it’s the first step toward letting God near it.
Part Two
What happened
Choose the wound that feels heaviest right now. Write out exactly what happened — as much or as little as you’re ready to.
Part Three
How it shaped the way you see God
Wounds quietly rewrite what we believe about God. Let’s bring that into the light.
Part Four
How you believe God sees you
This one can be the hardest. Be honest, even if it’s hard to write.
Before you close
What you’re noticing
You just did tender, brave work — you put words to something that’s been sitting underneath the distance.
Naming the wound isn’t reopening it — it’s the first step to letting God near it. I’m proud of you for going here. — Ash

Hi, I'm Ash. Mom of two, wife, and completely obsessed with Jesus. I walked away from God after watching my son suffer. At 2am in my son's hospital bed years later, I went to God out of desperation and He showed me the truth of who He is. Now, I am sharing that truth with you.
