Floyd McClung on spiritual valleys
2004 February 15
“You wake up one morning and all your spiritual feelings are gone. You pray, but nothing happens. You rebuke the devil, but it doesn’t change anything. You go through spiritual exercises… you have your friends pray for you, you confess every sin you can imagine, then go around asking forgiveness of everyone you know. You fast, still nothing. You begin to wonder how long this spiritual gloom might last. Days? Weeks? Months? Will it ever end? It feels as if your prayers simply bounce off the ceiling.”
