What do you do when you feel dry, as many of us often feel dry in the midst of our Christian lives?

What do you do when you don't feel like getting out of bed today and spending time with the Lord before you go about your work?

You get out of bed and you spend time with the Lord before you go about your work.

That's what you do.

You keep at it.

You just keep at it.

What do you do, though, when it just continues to kind of abide there?

There's just kind of a lukewarmness, just kind of a dryness.

You let the Lord know.

Not as if he doesn't know, but you cry out to him, Lord, would you help me?

I just feel dry.

I don't feel your nearness.

I know that you are with me.

You have promised that you would never leave me nor forsake me, but I don't feel it.

May I experience, not just know it, but can I experience it?

Would you reveal yourself to me in that way?

I will often, what I do in such moments is I will take a passage about Christ and I'll just meditate on it.

I had a mentor that used to say, what you need to do is you read the word, you memorize it, and then you meditate upon it, and then you imitate it.

So he'd say, you memorize, meditate, imitate.

Memorize, meditate, imitate.
