Breaking Your Spiritual Drought | How To Find God When Your Life Feels Dry

We’ve all felt dry. There’s something about being stuck in the same job, same relationship (or lack thereof), or going back to the same old habits that can have your spiritual life feeling like a mouthful of saltines.

  8. What’s one step you can take this week to trust God and his power in this season?

  9. Let’s end our time praying together. You can say something like, “God, thank you for the story of Elijah and that your power never ends. Please help us to be patient as we wait for your provision. Give us the courage to get involved and trust you. Amen.”
