How many times have you felt like you can not pray or read your bible? Maybe you find some little strength and manage to pick up your bible but your mind is not just there. you fail to concentrate, the prayer is not as hearty as it always is or you keep drifting away. I, too have felt that way so many times along my Christian walk. and it is in such times when we are supposed to draw closer to God but it is just plain HARD!
What causes it one may ask. probably a known sin previously engaged in and you think you are too filthy to come before the presence of God or the devil and his tricks is at again.
despite all this my source of encouragement and strength has been 1peter 5: 7- to cast ALL my cares on him because he cares for me. God is faithful and has promised to never leave us nor forsake us because he is our stronghold and the rock of our refuge.
If you ever come to such a point do not lose hope or get discouraged but hang on, pray that when your heart is overwhelmed he will lead to that rock that is higher than you. if it is sin, confess your sins to him who he is able to forgive all kind of sin and remember it no more. ours is to acknowledge our weakness at the feet of Jesus and ask him to mould and make us after his will because he is the potter and we are the clay....
with love,
