Overcoming Spiritual Dryness: Pray When It Hurts

How many times have you stopped believing because you were walking through the valley? Because you got tired, because you did not immediately see an answer to your prayers?

You got tired of praying for things to change. Tired of asking for doors to be opened. You became tired because you thought God was silent when your heart was breaking.

But what if I told you that God’s silence wasn’t Him being absent in the valley? What if I told you your prayers weren’t ignored, but waiting for the right time to be answered? What if I told you the moment you were ready to give up was the moment when everything began to shift in the heavens?

Because in the Spirit realm, your prayers are never wasted. Your tears are never wasted. Your whispered words to God, when you cried out for His help, when the words would not come.

The Lord heard it all, and He remembers.

The enemy tried to stop your prayers. He knew the weight of your prayers. He wanted to stop you because he knew your voice carried power to move mountains.

Now is the time for you to stand back up and pray again. To trust again, to believe again. To open your mouth and tell the enemy, “I know my God can; I know my God will.” I may walk through the valley, but I will not be afraid, because my God is with me.

So lift your voice and pray again, even when you are weary. Pray when you are unsure of the answers. Pray even when things are messy and confusing. Pray even when you have no words.

Just pray, and watch what God will do, in His perfect timing and in His way.

Now is the time to rise again. To pray again. To trust again. To believe again.
