Scripture: Psalm 63:1 — “O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You; my soul thirsts for You…”
Devotional
Long, demanding seasons at work can leave you spiritually dry. You rush from task to task, and your time with God feels shallow, rushed, or almost nonexistent. You may feel guilty, distant, or numb, wondering, What’s wrong with me?
Dryness doesn’t always mean rebellion; sometimes it simply reveals how much you need God in the midst of your busyness. The psalmist’s thirst for God came in a “dry and weary land.” He didn’t wait to feel full before seeking the Lord—he sought Him because he felt empty.
In busy seasons, you may need to adjust your expectations—not abandoning time with God, but reshaping it. Short, sincere prayers; Scripture on your commute; a verse on your desk; a few moments of quiet before a meeting—these can be lifelines. God meets you in the small spaces. He is not far from you; He is near to the thirsty.
Reflection Questions:
Do you feel spiritually dry right now? What has contributed to that dryness?
How could you build small but meaningful moments with God into your current rhythm?
What might you need to say no to in order to say a deeper yes to Him?
Prayer
Lord, my soul feels dry and distracted. I confess my need for You. Meet me in the middle of my busyness. Teach me to seek You in small moments and restore my hunger for Your presence and Your Word. Amen.
