Faith During Spiritual Dryness

📖 Introduction

Faith is often easiest to hold onto when things are going well. But what about those seasons when our hearts feel dry, and God’s presence seems distant? These are the moments that truly test our trust and reliance on Him.

In this study, we’ll explore how to maintain faith during spiritual dryness—times when feelings fail and doubts arise. It’s natural to feel disconnected or discouraged, yet God invites us to lean into Him even more deeply when emotions falter. Faith is not just about feeling certain or emotionally assured; it’s about choosing to trust the character and promises of God regardless of our experience.

Each day, we will engage with Scripture that highlights the steadfastness of God’s love and His faithfulness to us, especially in the deserts of our souls. We will also reflect on biblical examples of people who faced spiritual dryness and found renewed strength by clinging to God. These passages and devotionals will encourage you to anchor your hope in God’s unchanging nature rather than transient feelings.

As you journey through this study, be gentle with yourself. Spiritual dryness does not mean failure, but an opportunity to grow in perseverance and deepen your relationship with God. Let these reflections guide you to a renewed understanding of faith as a lifeline that sustains when the heart is heavy and distant from joy.

Lean in, trust more, and discover the peace that surpasses feelings. God is near, even when you feel far, and His love never fails.
