Ephesians 3:14-16
For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being
What are we to do when we feel spiritually dry? The best thing for anyone who feels they need to be filled up with the Holy Spirit is to draw themselves closer to God. Take a step back from life's distractions and spend more time in the Word and more time praying. Rejoice in Him daily, praise and worship Him in song and exalt His name high above all else in word. Speak His Word out loud, recite prayers out loud and praise His name out loud. Speak life not death. And there is nothing wrong with simply retreating. Many attend spiritual retreats on weekends to refresh their spirits but for some it is not possible so we must learn how to do this alone with God in our own homes. Make your home your sanctuary. I believe a clutter free environment helps keep the mind calm. Make the necessary changes in your schedule if lack of time is your excuse for being out of tune with God. Do whatever it takes for He is our life line. His love is what keeps us strong and when we are walking in line with Him, all else comes together in perfect balance. And through this balance and serenity comes peace and when we are at peace, we are able to glorify God in helping others. When we feel dry in our own hearts and souls, how can we expect to be of any good to anyone else? Take time for your spiritual self. Make your personal relationship with Jesus the most important thing in your life. And if you are out of balance and feeling dry, make these necessary changes now for He is the only one Who can strengthen you.
