I am always working in your life, even when you stray from Me and when you are in a dry and thirsty land.  I use these times to cause you to be even more hungry for My Word.  Just as the Hart pants after the water brooks (Psalm 42:1-3), I can cause the times of dryness in your spiritual life to make you much more thirsty for My truth.  But don’t spend time fretting about lost time, because the enemy of your soul wants to use those regrets to derail you and to discourage you from following Me along the path ahead. Please don’t let regret or feelings of failure, discourage you. As you move forward, step by step, I will help you to overcome the inertia of bad habits and distractions that kept you imprisoned in that dry land. Now that you have come back to the oasis of the waters of My Word, I want you to drink deeply – dive in and get refreshed and rejuvenated – and I will fill you with excitement and anticipation for the future.  Let My Word wash you and cleanse you!  Let My Word sustain you and strengthen you for the battles ahead!  Let My Word fill you to overflowing so that My Love and My Joy overflow!Â
