Hello Kasey, thanks for reaching out. There are a few things to check here. First make sure your regulator is working ok. It could be preventing gas from getting to the water heater. I have heard of them freezing up and not working, so if it is cold where you are, this is something to check. Also check and make sure water is flowing/able to flow. If the water pressure is insufficient, it will not ignite.
Check that and see know if the problem persists. If so, it might be time to have a tech come take a look.
