A very sensitive question was raised on the youth platform during the hot seat podcast.
The question: What should I do when I feel spiritually dry or far from God?
And our district youth coordinator, Rev. Wealth Showemimo did justice to the question.
Here’s what he said to the youths: 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
To be honoest with you all, telling you biblical truth, feeling spiritually dry or distant from God is a common season in every believer’s life.
It’s a moment when your heart longs for His presence but feels empty or disconnected. It’s not failure, it’s an invitation to reset, reconnect, and draw deeper into Him.
A great example is Elijah.
After his powerful victory over the prophets of Baal, he fled into the wilderness, feeling exhausted, discouraged, and spiritually dry in 1 Kings 19:4–5
God met him not in the dramatic, but in the gentle whisper, restoring his strength and purpose in 1 Kings 19:11–13
Always note that even mighty men of God experience dryness and God meets us in quiet restoration.
How should we then react to spiritual dryness??
1. Return to the basics which is: prayer, worship, and reading the Word.
This will reconnect you with God’s presence.
2. Confess and release.
Unconfessed sin blocks intimacy.
God can forgive you all your sins because He already dealt with SIN.
The only sin God cannot forgive is uncomfessed sin.
The one you refused to confess.
Repent and receive God’s forgiveness.
3. Seek fellowship.
Always surround yourself with believers who encourage, pray with, and uplift you.
Avoid people who dampen your spirit. Avoid spiritual vampires and avoid gossips.
Iron sharpens iron and deep calleth unto deep
4. Serve others.
This is what I always do to draw spiritual strenght for myself.
Serving refocuses your heart on God and opens spiritual refreshment.
5. Wait in faith.
Always remeber that spiritual seasons change.
God often meets us in the quiet, patient moments.
Dry seasons are God’s setup for deeper intimacy and greater breakthroughs.
You know:
Spiritual dryness is not defeat, spiritual dryness is the fertile soil for revival.
Return to prayer, immerse in the Word, and serve with love.
God meets the weary in the stillness and restores purpose, passion, and power.
