A Prayer In Times Of Spiritual Dryness

A prayer in times of Spiritual Dryness

When I thirst for God

O Lord,

My soul is thirsty. I feel so dry, longing for something that will be truly fulfilling. My desire to know you and serve you has wilted and dried up. As a farmer takes extra care of his fields in a drought, so I am in desperate need of some extra soul care during this time of spiritual dryness. The best place to go for that is your Word. As I read it, may it water my soul, soaking in and filling me with divine nourishment. May it speak to me and renew my sense of purpose. I pray that you would also send opportunities for service to revive my passion for you. When you do, push me off the sidelines and into the work you want me to do. Don’t let me miss out. That is what I need to get serious about my faith again. O Lord, my parched soul longs for you. Let me drink deeply now.

The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. Isaiah 58:11
