Ever feel like your spiritual spark has fizzled a bit? Like you used to be on fire for God, hearing His voice, sensing His presence everywhere—and now, well… not so much?

You’re not alone. Life gets noisy. The world feels a little topsy-turvy (okay, a lot), and somewhere between the bad news, busy schedules, and endless scrolling, we can lose that deep-down enthusiasm that once made our faith feel alive.

There’s a word I love—enthusiasm.
It comes from the Greek en theos, which literally means “in God.”
That’s where true enthusiasm comes from—not from caffeine, not from good vibes, not even from motivational quotes—but from being in God.

When David ran into battle against Goliath, it wasn’t because he was overconfident—it was because he was en theos.Filled with God. He trusted God daily, walked with God daily, and worshiped God daily.

And that’s the key word—daily.

But somewhere along the line, David lost that spark. He got comfortable. Distracted. Complacent. Sound familiar? (Been there, done that, have the “I skipped my quiet time” mug to prove it.)

The good news? David found his way back. He prayed, “Restore to me the joy of your salvation.” (Psalm 51:12)

That’s the prayer I whisper when I realize my heart has drifted—“Lord, restore my joy. Bring back my spark.”

So how do we get that spiritual enthusiasm back?
We go back to doing what we did at first.
We walk with God daily.
We trust Him daily.
We worship Him daily.

It’s not about mustering up fake excitement—it’s about letting God refill what life has drained.

And here’s the beautiful part: when your heart is “in God,” even ordinary moments—washing dishes, working, caring for others—become sacred.

So maybe today, instead of waiting to feel enthusiastic, we choose to be enthusiastic… in God.
Because the joy of the Lord really is our strength—and that’s something the world can’t take away.
