my heart seeks for something. im honestly not sure what it is? in the small and seldom prayers i make i ask what it may be in vain so far.

Have any of you ever experienced such dryness.care to share your stories or testimonies. Thank you
 
my heart seeks an ice cold sweet tea but mcdonald's is closed...the dryness goes on...
 
It is happening the same thing to me Shine, im seeking for something , i feel as if i need to do something but i dont have idea of what it is so i started to pray and to ask God to lead me, but its not a dryness because i feel full of God, its something as if im obligated to do but , as if im now in the wrong place but i cant understand why.
 
@Sev hope you got the and are having a blessed and merry christmas.

On a side its amazing how some of us got caught up in routine and unwittingly lighten the significance of the day of 'birth' of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

@Liz i completely relate to what u going through. Even though i may be in more shallow and murky waters. I feel powerless spiritually. My heart searches all the time and is inundated with strange questions.

I get inspired by children of God who remark that they hear GOD's voice.honestly i cant claim that. Like it or not it gets to me. Why is there so much carnage in this world.as christians what we doing. Are most of us lukewarm and not a threat to the devil.



Hey LIZ do you mind sharing what makes you feel in the wrong place when u are full with the HOLY SPIRIT
 
To be honest Shine, i dont have idea why im feeling like that, i feel out of place at my work, with my family, at church and with my friends, but specially at work, as if i need to do something else but i dont have idea what, but i pray everyday, i read bible, and my faith has grown very much the last year, my relationship with my family is better than any year and i have a good job so im surprised too to feel that thing inside my heart.
 
Liz firstly merry christmas my beloved sister.

I relate to that.lets pray about it together and include all (if any) who are in this position.

It is a daunting zone to be i think.

Dear GOD, we may not understand where we are, or what we ought to be doing, or what you desire of us.
That feeling of being detached from the branch of JESUS CHRIST haunts some of us.you know us by heart and what's inside our hearts. Forgive us for our transgressions and guide us in our moments of uncertainty.

Thank you that by your grace we are saved.
In the name of your son Jesus Christ we pray.
Amen

Amen Shine,
thank you :) have a merry christmas too that God bless you and guide you all the time
 
I too feel the dryness, every single day. It gets worse the older I get. Lately it's caused me to lose motivation for life in the worldly sense. But there is a shining optimism there along with it too. It doesn't make sense, but it doesn't have to. It stops me from losing hope and being depressed. Maybe it is God trying to reach me? Or a blessing someone prayed on me when I was little? I can't know. I just know I've had this strong undying speck of optimism as far back as I can remember. I only wish everything wasn't so confusing.

And I just want you to know, that reading your thread spoke to me more than anything else I've read on this site so far. I must have needed this. I have chills, lol.

You ask such good questions, I think you will find what you are seeking. =) Keep it up.
 
Relena hope you enjoying the festive season.

I must say i think i ask "stupid" questions. Im Just glad at all your enriching responses. Thanks for the encouragement and openness

Your experience resonates greatly with my weak heart. Realising that im not the only one experiencing this "dryness" encourages me to remain steadfast and resolute.
Especially feeling lost within the "body of Christ" can be very scary and confusing in my humble opinion.
When i recap the part of the scripture which references to this generation blessed with HOLY SPIRIT doing greater works in the name of Jesus Christ for the glory of our heavenly father( pardon my loose 'paraphrasing). I cant help but wonder, God have mercy, if i have him in me.
The doubt that creeps in reflects my seeking heart.

I sound like a toddler in the ministry.i just hope that by being frank i get advice from the enlightened on here.
I think an element of self-preservation is making me sterile in my christian growth.
Lets continue praying
