If I have a tiff with my wife I have trouble either praying or looking to the Scriptures. When the heavy feelings or depression are upon me I just do not feel the praying or that reading will have value or effect. Its hard to think, “I need to do this by faith”. My prayers, I feel, would be insulting to the Lord being prayed from such a dry or angry or faithless personality. I can not think of where to read in the Bible that would have application.
Perhaps I should start reading somewhere – anywhere: Psalm of the day, Proverbs, a Gospel. Maybe I would find the lord talking to me there. Or maybe the Spirit would lead me somewhere else. Perhaps then the prayers and answers would come.
