Chris' prayer: Mary Mary's "Still My Child"

I went through a dry spell in my prayer life about a year and a half ago. It was the worse such spell I've ever gone through and it sucked. It wasn't that I didn't want to pray, but I just couldn't find the words, or feel any kind of emotion behind it. Every prayer felt forced and inauthentic. Even my singing, which usually feels so wonderfully good and filled with love, felt hollow. And, although I knew that God still loved me, and was happy with just the effort that I was giving, it was really tough to feel that– to know that He was still there with me, to know that I was still His child.

Standing on the other side of that spiritual drought, I can see now the things I learned by going through it, and am even thankful for those things. They have made me a stronger person. And I have realized that God really was there with me through it all, waiting patiently, helping me break through that wall.
