Spiritual Dryness

Isaiah 8:17 "The Lord Hidden Himself from his people, but I trust him and place my hope in Him."

Since last year I've been experiencing this feeling, this situation but I don't know what it is?

When I wake-up
when I pray
when I confess my sins
when I apologize
Nothing happens.

Until now, I'm wondering how long will I feel this thing.
I keep on asking myself what's wrong with me?
Is God angry at me?

And now, I know what is happening to me. I read this in the Purpose Driven Life. It is called Spiritual Dryness. To be mature in my friendship with God, He will test like you didn't feel His presence or He is hiding away from you. In that period we experience doubt and confusion from God. We feel that He is a God billion of billions of kilometers away.

God is challenging us to a new challenge in life. He is teaching me what true faith means, to have faith on Him and not just a feeling for Him. He is challenging us to what we will do if everything was lost like a relationship with friends, fame or reputation.

ARgghhh I am losing my patience. I am always thinking what God's purpose is on doing this. I am still experiencing spiritual dryness but the Holy Spirit helps me to endure it and give me peace that I cannot understand God's plan for me, as it is said in Isaiah 55:8-9,

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,"
declares the LORD.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

So Lord I surrender my life to You.
Whatever you want for me I know,
The testing of my faith,
All the things that I have thought of,
I surrender it to You.
