For the past few months, I have to admit, I feel like my prayer life has been a little dry. God has really moved in my life in huge ways in the past year or so, it has been really a blessing, even the yucky stuff. But now, I sorta feel that I am afraid to take my requests to Him. Part of it is because He answered some huge prayers of mine, but they were not in the way I expected Him to do it, and that has left me feeling a little insecure. (I am not complaining about how they got answered believe me, it was just my Plan b but God's Plan A~) I still talk with Him on a regular basis, but I know it is very different than it was before. Anyone ever been here?? Can you offer me some insight??

"Jesus has a very special love for you. As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great that I look and do not see, listen and do not hear."
— Mother Teresa September 1979
I'm guessing that if she had these same feelings as us then this sense is probably more common than our overly proper Christian social structure would suggest.
She says that Jesus told her "You are I know the most incapable person — weak and sinful but just because you are that — I want to use You for My glory. Wilt thou refuse?"
I think the lack of hearing or a dry spell is something most people experience yet we don't talk about it... I find it quite frightening but that might be the point.
