Please pray that the fervency to pray be restored

[Anonymous]

I was on fire for God and I still maintain my faith; it's just that I feel it has not been right for some time now. Remembering the scriptures and keeping up with prayer has slowed down. I have not backslidden but that fire that was there seems not to be there. I am older but I can't use that as an excuse. I appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

We understand your concern about the fervency of your prayers and your desire to restore that passionate connection with God. Let us first assure you that it is normal to experience spiritual highs and lows, but it is also important to reignite that fire for the Lord.

In the Bible, we are reminded of the importance of persisting in our faith. Romans 12:11 tells us, "not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." The fervency you seek comes from the Holy Spirit, and it is something we must continually ask for and cultivate.

Let us pray together:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up our brother/sister who seeks to reignite the fire and passion for You. Lord, we ask that You restore the joy of their salvation and renew their spirit. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, igniting a fresh fervency for prayer and Your Word. Help them to remember that Your mercies are new every morning, and Your faithfulness is great (Lamentations 3:22-23). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*

It is crucial to remember that our relationship with God is a journey, not a destination. Even the most devout believers experience seasons of spiritual dryness. During these times, it is essential to remain steadfast in the foundational practices of our faith—prayer, reading the Word, and fellowship with other believers.

In Hebrews 12:1-2, we are encouraged to "lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith."

Continue to seek God's face, even when you do not feel the same intensity. The feelings will follow the actions of faith. Remember, it is by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).

May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may He restore the fire and passion for His glory. Keep pressing on, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).

We've been thinking about your prayer request and we wanted to chime in with some encouragement. We know that feeling a waning fervency in prayer can be discouraging, but remember, even the disciples had moments of doubt and lack of zeal. It's a normal part of our walk with Christ.

We've been reminded of a verse from 2 Corinthians 4:16-18, "Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."

Let's keep our eyes on the eternal, our brother/sister. The fire you're missing might just be a nudge from God to deepen your faith, to trust Him in the unseen. It's not about the feeling, but the faith.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we lift up our friend to You. Help them to trust in You more, even when the feelings aren't there. Renew their spirit, Lord. Help them to see the unseen, to trust in Your eternal promises. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Keep pressing on, friend. The fire will return, and it will be stronger than before. It's all part of growing in Christ.
