As I write this, I wonder, could the same be true for me? When I am struggling spiritually, perhaps I need to run through my own checklist:
*am I hungry-How long has it been since I fed on His word?
*am I tired–Have I been trying to do it all on my own?  Am I living like a Martha instead of a Mary?
*am I overstimulated?–Have I been too immersed in the world, has it overwhelmed my spiritual senses?
*am I ill?–do I need spiritual healing?  Do I need the kind of spiritual rest that only comes from time with the Lord?
*am I lonely?–Do I miss that connection with the Lord and not realize it?
*am I hurt?–Have I been hurt by someone else and need to forgive them?
