Frustrations to Address

Why do we sometimes if not most of the time go through a dry spell in our spiritual lives?
Is it something that has happened because of sin?
Why do we stray or feel far from God? Are our prayers reaching Him?

Many of these times are what God actually uses to strengthen our faith and walk with Him. If there were no dry periods in our lives, i would advise us to question our faith on its genuiness.

God leads us to a place of spiritual abundance but oftentimes the journey is marked with difficulty and suffering.
The psalmist writes:

"For you Oh God tested us,
you refined us like silver.
You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.

You let men ride over our heads,
we went through fire and water
but you brought us to the place of abundance."

Psalm 66:10-12

Successfully walking through diffculty is a necessary part of becoming mature.

Help me to question myself and the lessons that i can learn through the difficult times, and may wisdom and maturity be granted me, Oh Lord.

dey, where's the mystery?

dey, wait can or not. (:
People type serious things you only want to solve murders.

Wisdom and maturity need not go together..
No need to be serious all the time..
