Every Christian goes ...Carina, you are so precious. Every Christian goes through dry times - wilderness experiences. That's part of growing. The important thing is to recognize the problem. I have found that if I confess to the Lord that I do not want to spend time in His Word but ask Him to stir up that hunger within me, He will. After I open the Book. He wants our step of obedience and then He pours out His grace. I have found a devotional that I love and I have shared with many women. It is "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young. You would love it. Each day has an entry from her prayer journal where she recorded the whispers from the Spirit of God. Each page also offers a couple of scriptures that support what God has spoken to her. Her words inspire me. It doesn't take but a minute to read the scriptures for that day, so I can easily take a little nibble of nourishment. When time allows I can use these same scriptures to dig deeper through cross-references. See if you can find it, ok? I'll be praying for you.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237432939352043363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366847933599915695.post-69332425896601674862013-01-16T00:04:37.323-05:002013-01-16T00:04:37.323-05:00Nan, that was so simple and yet so meaningful. So ...Nan, that was so simple and yet so meaningful. So necessary. I struggle with that very thing. Especially that paragraph where you mention those times when we felt so on fire and then sth change and we're no longer walking the way we were and we feel so guilty bc we no longer feel the same. My worst area is that I feel very little interest (as compared to previous times when I was passionate or at least ok) in reading the Bible and praying, in having intimate communion with the Father. I spend lots of time reading about spiritual things, perhaps listening to Christian music, but I seem to be afraid of that nakedness and intimacy. The culprits: guilt and shame. So this entry really hits home.<br /><br />And just today I was hearing on the radio, "God loves us just because." No strings attached. <br /><br />Years ago I was pierced through and through with the first chapter of Ephesians and especially the phrase "accepted in the Beloved." I wish I could understand it now (with my heart of hearts) the way I did then.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17936946937484720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366847933599915695.post-7665637526664742942013-01-15T10:27:18.176-05:002013-01-15T10:27:18.176-05:00Thanks Vonda.
