There can be dry periods in life where we can’t seem to see, feel, or experience God’s presence.  Perhaps we’ve been unwilling to lay down one of our dreams or desires before Him and have run the other direction.  Now the desert of faithlessness surrounds us.  What do we do?

Our first thought is usually to work on fixing it ourselves. We may overcommit ourselves to church activities and helping others hoping that the efforts of our hands will restore us. And while all of these activities are great, they are a poor substitute for our relationship with our Father in heaven. 

We must fight the temptation to fix and instead run with all we have left to our loving LORD  It is He who has the power to heal our faithlessness.  For He has given us His Son and Spirit to reconcile us and remind us of our sonship/daughtership in Him.  Run to Him today!

Reflection

Do you run from or to God when you are feeling faithless?

Surround yourself with others in the body of Christ to help remind you of this truth. 

Prayer

Father, thank You that You are loving and heal our faithlessness.  Guard our minds from our own desires to fix and instead give us a heart of surrender, that we may be filled with faith and joy in Jesus, Amen!
