Pouring Water on My Dry Season

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit dry in my walk with God. Church doesn’t seem to stir my spirit, my times of prayer seem fruitless, and my Bible reading has seemed more like fulfilling a habit than a true time of feasting on the Word.

Last night I chose to put an end to it. I set apart some time and spent it before the Lord in worship. I didn’t ask for anything, I didn’t lift up any concerns, I didn’t even call out another person’s name. I simply repented of my sins and pressed into the throne room of my Heavenly Father.

Can I tell you it was a true press? It took me several minutes just to get into the frame of mind where I was fully focused on worshipping God. So many other items kept popping up in my brain. I actually had to pause and take a bathroom break. I had to get up and get a sweater because all of a sudden I was cold… So many distractions! But each time I took care of the issue and continued to press my way in. I refused to let go or give up. I was going to feel God’s presence if it would’ve taken all night!

Soon I was able to get into the mode of worship. Although I didn’t feel the total connection that I know I wanted, the Lord did speak to me. That was all of the assurance I needed. It gave me the peace and assurance that things were okay. And tonight I will be doing the same thing again. Tomorrow will still find me kneeling before His throne. I’m going to keep pressing into God’s presence daily until I feel the release that I need.

And once I get my breakthrough, I’m going to stay on the wall to avoid another dry spell like the one I’m coming out of right now. It’s one thing to go through because of issues that God allows; it’s a whole ‘nother agenda when it’s a product of complacency.

The Lord will be magnified in my life on every level!

Verse of the Day: Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Psalm 51:10-12
