If You Are Experiencing Spiritual Dryness, Do These Things
Spiritual dryness does not always mean that God has left you. Sometimes it is an invitation to return, realign and seek Him beyond your feelings.
1. Return to the Word
When your emotions are quiet, let Scripture become your anchor. Don’t wait until you “feel spiritual” before opening your Bible.
Psalm 119:105
2. Return to the place of prayer
Even when you have no words, stay before God. Prayer is not sustained by feelings alone. There are seasons when you must seek God because He is God, not merely because His presence feels good.
Luke 18:1
3. Examine your heart
Ask God to search you. Sometimes dryness can expose distractions, disobedience, bitterness or misplaced desires that have quietly taken God’s place.
Psalm 139:23–24
4. Remove unnecessary noise
You cannot continually feed your spirit with the noise of the world and expect to remain sensitive to God. Create room for silence, worship, Scripture and meditation.
Psalm 46:10
5. Obey what God has already told you
Sometimes we are asking God for a new word while neglecting the last instruction He gave us. Obedience keeps the heart tender.
John 14:21
6. Don’t abandon spiritual disciplines because you don’t feel anything
There will be moments when worship feels effortless and moments when it feels like sacrifice. Keep seeking. Keep praying. Keep studying. Keep showing up.
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” — James 4:8
And remember this:
Dryness is not permission to drift.
Silence is not proof of absence.
A lack of feeling is not a lack of faith.
Sometimes the deepest work God does in us happens when we continue seeking Him even when we cannot feel Him.
