The air is too dry

On my recent Tuesdate at church I found myself asking the Lord, “Lord, why is it so hard to pray right now, how did I lose my routine and why did I go away from you.”   I feel once again I’ve fallen into “dryness.”  Everything feels weird, stale, and really I don’t like that feeling.  I think it would be pretty awesome if I was a bit more… salty.  eh eh

During my one on one I found myself saying “you know, its funny how when we fall out of prayer it just so happens that the things around us don’t seem right.”  There is a battle of prayer,  multiple factors could be affecting this feeling such as lack of faith and lack of trust.  It comes down to us.

Here’s what I learned about this battle.

CCC 2731 Another difficulty, especially for those who sincerely want to pray, is dryness. Dryness belongs to contemplative prayer when the heart is separated from God, with no taste for thoughts, memories, and feelings, even spiritual ones. This is the moment of sheer faith clinging faithfully to Jesus in his agony and in his tomb. “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if dies, it bears much fruit.” If dryness is due to the lack of roots, because the word has fallen on rocky soil, the battle requires conversion.

Cling faithfully to Jesus and conversion is necessary, those are the words that shine out the most.
