What to Do When Your Spiritual Life Is Dry

“All Christians experience spiritual dry spells.”

It’s good to acknowledge the inevitability of this, to recognize when it happens, and to be ready to take action to deal with it.

Scott Slayton has written an excellent article on this topic entitled When Your Spiritual Life Is Dry.

He continues:

“There are no exceptions. We will go through periods where God seems distant, prayer is difficult, Bible-reading feels dead, worship doesn’t excite, and a sense of purposelessness descends on us.”

“When you run into a spiritual desert, what do you do? I want to suggest ten strategies for dealing with a spiritual dry spell. I am not advocating that you try all ten, but rather that you try several of them in order to help regain your focus and experience the joy of your walk with the Lord again.”

All ten of these strategies are worthy of your consideration. I especially like #1 and #2. Both of them have served me well.

1-Remember the Gospel
2-Change Your Bible Reading Routine

With each strategy, Mr. Slayton offers a short but meaty explanation that includes the rationale and practical advice on implementation.

One final comment . . . You don’t need to be experiencing spiritual dryness to benefit from this article. No matter what your walk with God looks like today, you will benefit from the biblical wisdom provided here:
