SPIRITUAL DEHYDRATION
SPIRITUAL DEHYDRATION? - Spiritual dehydration refers to a state of spiritual dryness characterized by a lack of connection to God. This condition often manifests as spiritual apathy, a diminished sense of joy and inspiration, and an increased susceptibility to negative emotions such as fear, anger, and anxiety.
In the mission field, I often work long hours: sixteen hours on Sunday, fourteen hours on Monday, and another ten yesterday. To prevent becoming weak and ineffective, and to avoid the risks of spiritual dehydration, I am reminded by the Holy Spirit, of the Word where Jesus says, "Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." — Jesus, John 4:14
Every morning, morning I fill my cup with:
1. A cup of prayer
2. A cup of thanksgiving
3. A cup of praise for God
4. A cup of Scripture
5. A cup to give to others, helping me to stop focusing on myself
If you feel dehydrated and thirsty, remember to drink and fill your cup from the Living Water.
In His love
