I feel empty

Sadie wrote me this:

Everything is going well for me. I don’t have financial problems. I’m successful in my job. I’m not sick. I have a good family. But for some reason, I feel so empty. I spend my days trying to stay busy, always looking for something to occupy my mind. If I don’t, I get depressed. What is wrong with me?

Sadie, there is only one area of your life you failed to mention something about: your spiritual life. I suspect that’s where your problem is. In the body, soul, and spirit equation, the spirit is the foundation of one’s life.

When our spirit is weak, our whole life is affected. You need to develop your spiritual life – to cultivate godly thoughts, devote a few minutes a day to prayer, feed on the Word of God, and ultimately start a relationship with Him. As a quick start, I suggest you read Psalm 42 in your Bible. If you don’t already know a good church to get together with other people who are on the same journey, perhaps you could try this one at a location near you.
