Overcoming Spiritual Malnutrition. The believers challenge.

What is Spiritual Malnourishment (SM) It’s a spiritual ailment that plagues many people in our time. And the diagnosis is quite simple. Just answer these questions. If you answer “no” to at least half of them, you may be suffering from SM and there’s only one treatment: communion with God through speech.

1. Do you regularly hear the voice of God?
2. Do you regularly speak with God?
3. Do you commonly search for answers to prayer?
4. Do you often pause to worship?

What the Questions Reveal

These four little questions reveal a lot about your spiritual health. The first question isn’t some search for a mystical union with the divine; it’s a matter of opening a book. Dust off the cover of that old Bible on your bookshelf (or buried somewhere in your nightstand), crack open the binding and start reading. The words you’re reading are the words of God. The voice you hear is the voice of God. Regularly hearing the voice of God is a matter of regularly reading Scripture. In the divine-human dialogue, that’s God’s piece.

The other piece of the dialogue is what the second question addresses. God speaks to you in Scripture. Do you speak back? That’s prayer. Prayer is nothing more than your speech to God. Vibrate your vocal cords. Open the rusty box that encloses your heart, and pour yourself out before God. He’s listening. Always. And he wants to hear from you.

Prayer is nothing more than your speech to God. Vibrate your vocal cords. Open the rusty box that encloses your heart, and pour yourself out before God.

But part of having a dialogue with God means that you search for implications of the dialogue. In other words, you search for ways in which God might be answering your prayers. Don’t ask or plead or rejoice or lament and then walk away. Be intentional about searching for the ways God is working in your life. Because he is working. We’re just too ignorant or apathetic to notice.
