Weakness and failure
Spiritual exhaustion
Feeling that faith or spiritual practices have become a dry, meaningless weight.
What the Bible can tell you
Let's not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don't give up.
Galatians 6:9
but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by the sons of Korah. As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.
Psalms 42:1
A human reading
Faith can also feel tired, and that does not mean you have lost God. Small, steady practices, like a short prayer or a reading, can bring back breath. Talking with someone in your community also helps.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
