Feeling Spiritually Sluggish?

Do you ever feel sluggish? You know—blah? Can’t quite find your “get up and go” even though there are things you could be, should be doing? 

Nobody likes that feeling. So what do we do when we don’t feel motivated to pray, work, or get moving? We lift up our souls to God (Psalm 143:8). 

We read God’s Word regardless of how we feel and while reading we are encouraged and inspired. God’s thoughts become our thoughts. His passions become our passions. 

We ask our Heavenly Father to give us the mind and energy of Christ. 

The King James Version of 1 Corinthians 15:45 contrasts the first man, Adam, with the “last Adam,” Jesus, in this way: “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a Quickening Spirit.”

Jesus’ quickening Spirit arouses and invigorates us. 

Christ-followers are not spiritually dead. We’re spiritually alive in Christ. Pray and ask God to fill you with His Quickening Spirit. Then pay attention to what He quickens (nudges, prompts) you to do. 

Heavenly Father, thank You for Jesus who is a QUICKENING SPIRIT! Arouse and invigorate me to do Your will.
