be revived be restored

you ever buy a plant or flower take into your home then get busy and forget about ? and because the flower or plant has sat there neglected it has began to dry up and wither and so you say oh well and throw it in the trash ? you just threw away life without a fight. you can take a dry up withered flower plant it in good soil water it tend to it and nourish and nurse it back to life . likewise spiritually you can do the same don't give up in your trial don't think its over because you have fallen short and sinned run to God His arms are open . maybe you are just discouraged and battle weary and you haven't drifted away from God but your steadfastness in Christ seems like it is drying up and withering . run to the Throne of Grace boldly in your time of need . repentance is like breaking up fallow ground it prepares good soil to take in the water of the word upon good ground again and when you nourish and nurse your faith with prayer even fasting and getting planted in the word and your asking knocking and seeking the Lord is going to build you up your joy will be full again being complete in Him . come sit at His table and feast with the Lord
