Opening Verse
“Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?”
Psalm 85:6 (KJV)
Introduction
Even with faith in God, there are times we feel like our spark has faded. We still believe. We still pray. But inside, we feel tired—spiritually dry. It happens to more people than we realize. The good news is this: God knows. And He doesn’t condemn. He calls.
Devotional Story
There was a man who went to church every Sunday. He read his Bible, prayed before meals, and told others that Jesus saves. But deep down, he felt like something was missing. The fire he once had—the joy of knowing Christ—had dimmed.
One evening, as he sat alone, he opened his Bible and read a familiar verse. It didn’t hit him the way it used to. Frustrated, he asked God, “What happened to me?” And quietly, in his heart, a whisper came: “You’ve stopped sitting with Me.”
He realized he had filled his life with activity—Christian things—but not Christ Himself. So, he put everything aside and sat. No phone. No sermon. Just silence and Scripture. He began to talk to God again, not as a duty, but as a child who missed his Father. And slowly, the spark returned. Not all at once—but day by day, the fire grew warmer.
What This Means
Faith in God doesn’t mean we’ll always feel strong. The fire of the Holy Spirit doesn’t go out, but we can neglect it. When we do, we feel empty. But the Lord is not far off. He waits for us to return—not with guilt, but with hunger. When we stop trying to fix ourselves and simply rest in His presence, He breathes life back into our soul.
Think About This
Are you trying to “feel” close to God by doing more, or are you truly spending time with Him? Revival starts when we sit still and listen.
Prayer
Lord, I feel like my spark is gone. I still believe, but I’m tired. Please forgive me for drifting. I want to come back to You—not just in words, but in heart. Revive me again. Set my soul on fire with Your truth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Closing Verse
“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”
James 4:8 (KJV)
