I do feel that there is something yet further that I am needing to receive,

Like... understanding? Very Happy Wink

I would wager that it is more you who is impatient with yourself, and the Lord is grinning at his son who is beginning to awake in his understanding Smile

And it appears that for a time, the heavens have withdrawn - I am having a very difficult time with my prayers - I can;t help but feel that the Lord is displeased with me. I feel that I am "doing it wrong" and that I need him to come take me by the hand and guide me step by step in what I need to do next.

Kevin don't let those feelings that you are "doing it wrong" discourage you! The Lord IS pleased with you, that is why he told you this!!

The Lord doesn't just take back things like that because we don't "get it" fast enough (and "fast" is relative - as our understanding of time is different from the Lord's). You are seeking to understand and the Lord is pleased with that!

One thing I've been taught as I've had struggles with "spiritual dry spells" at times, is that sometimes the Lord allows this and allows us to STRETCH for his hand, to work harder for it. Every time that has happened, and I've stretched to reach for his hand, I've received an outpouring of the Spirit. It's also good to notice differences in when the spirit is stronger and specifically telling us something we need to pay attention to! But Kevin, feeling these feelings of discouragement and that the Lord is displeased because you aren't doing it right - is not of him. You ARE getting it, you ARE seeking to understand, you ARE doing it right!!

I do feel that for now I just need to be patient, humble myself, fast, pray, and things will come at the time intended. I am sorry, Lord, for my weakness.

Take those realizations you talked about in your post, and THANK the Lord for those blessings. Then, what if you were to ask Him if they mean.............? Smile
