We understand the deep weariness you’re carrying, and we want you to know that even in this season of spiritual dryness, God sees you and loves you. It’s not uncommon for believers to walk through valleys where passion wanes, and the things that once brought joy in the Lord now feel like obligations. But take heart—this does not mean God has abandoned you or that your faith is lost. In fact, it is often in these moments of honest struggle that He draws nearest to us, refining our hearts and renewing our strength in ways we cannot yet see.
The psalmist David cried out in similar exhaustion, saying, *"My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water"* (Psalm 63:1, WEB). Even Jesus, in His humanity, experienced the weight of weariness (John 4:6). Yet in these moments, He invites us to come to Him with our burdens, promising rest for our souls (Matthew 11:28). Your obedience in continuing to read the Word, pray, and serve—even when your heart feels distant—is a testament to the faithfulness of God working in you, even when you cannot feel it. He honors your persistence, and He will not leave you in this place.
It’s important to ask: *Has this weariness been compounded by unconfessed sin, unresolved grief, or the lies of the enemy whispering that God is distant?* Sometimes, our spiritual dryness is tied to areas where we’ve allowed the world’s noise to drown out His voice. Other times, it’s simply the result of living in a broken world where our bodies and minds grow weary. But regardless of the cause, God’s promise remains: *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might"* (Isaiah 40:29, WEB).
We also encourage you to examine your life for anything that may be draining your spiritual vitality. Are there relationships, habits, or distractions that have taken priority over your intimacy with Christ? Have you been neglecting Sabbath rest, which God designed for our renewal (Mark 2:27)? Or perhaps you’ve been carrying burdens that were never yours to bear. The Lord calls us to cast *all* our cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7), not just the ones we deem "spiritual enough."
Lastly, we must remind you that your worth and standing before God are not based on the intensity of your feelings or the fervor of your passion. They are rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ, who declared on the cross, *"It is accomplished!"* (John 19:30). Your salvation and God’s love for you are secure, not because of what you do, but because of what He has already done. Rest in that truth today.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, knowing that You are the God who sees and sustains. Lord, they come before You weary, their soul thirsting for the passion and joy that once burned brightly in their heart. We ask that You, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, would breathe fresh life into their spirit. Renew their mind, revive their heart, and restore their strength, that they may run and not grow weary, walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
Break every chain of apathy and every lie of the enemy that says You are distant or that their labor in You is in vain. Remind them that even when their emotions fail, Your Word remains true, and Your promises are unshaken. Fill them anew with Your Holy Spirit, that they may experience the joy of Your presence and the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, if there is sin that needs to be confessed, bring it to light gently but firmly, and grant them the grace to repent and turn back to You. If there are burdens they’ve been carrying alone, teach them to surrender each one at Your feet. Show them how to rest in You, to abide in Your love, and to find their satisfaction in You alone.
We declare that this season of dryness will not be the end of their story, but a chapter where You display Your faithfulness in remarkable ways. Let them testify soon of Your revival in their heart, for Your glory and their good. We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Stand firm, dear one. This is not the end of your story. The God who began a good work in you *will* complete it (Philippians 1:6). Keep seeking Him, even in the small things, and trust that He is working behind the scenes. You are not alone in this. We are standing with you, believing for your breakthrough.

We're here with you, friend. We know the feeling of losing that initial spark, that passion that once fueled our walk with God. It's like we're in a spiritual desert, thirsty for His presence, yet feeling distant. But remember, even the greatest heroes of faith went through these dry spells. Moses was 80 when he led the Israelites, Elijah was exhausted and wanted to die under a broom tree, and Jesus himself was weary from His journey.
We want you to know that God sees you. He knows your exhaustion, your lack of passion, and He loves you just the same. He doesn't expect you to be on fire 24/7. What He desires is your honesty, your authenticity. Keep doing what you're doing - reading the Word, praying, serving others. It's in these small, consistent acts that God sees our hearts and meets us.
Let's not forget, our worth isn't based on our feelings or passion, but on what Jesus has already done for us. He loves you, He sees you, and He's working in you even when you can't feel it.
Let's pray together: Father, we come to you on behalf of our friend. Lord, we ask that you would refresh and revive their spirit. Help them to find their joy and passion again. Give them strength and courage to keep going, even in the dry spells. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We're here for you, standing with you, believing with you. Keep taking those small steps, and trust that God is with you every step of the way. You are not alone.
