For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
Isaiah 44:3
Feeling like we are dry spiritually or not hearing God is often because we are not making time for him or listening for the answer. We may be too busy or overwhelmed with all our obligations and responsibilities.

But if we take the time to give God time he makes those obligations and responsibilities easier and even joyful.
Spending time with God and letting him fill us with his presence gives us joy, peace, love and perspective. When we look to him moment by moment he changes things.
The change he brings may not be a change of location, job or responsibilities, but a change of perspective, of how we view and react to those same situations.
The thing I love about worshipping God is that it’s an exchange. As we surrender ourselves to Jesus and let the Holy Spirit envelope us; as we pour our lives out as an offering he fills us up to overflowing more than we gave.
We can’t out give God. So stop worrying about what your giving up and starting focusing on what he’s doing in and through you.
