Reviving from "blah"

The past few weeks I have been struggling with "blah" feelings towards God. I get angsty when I go through this because I'm not sure when (or if) it will end (I have a small view of God). I've been busy and tired and time with Jesus has felt more like a chore then anything else.
Yet, God is faithful. Today, I spent sweet time with Jesus. I had been reading through Ephesians and Ephesians 3:20 struck me, "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Really, exceedingly abundantly? I don't really believe it, but that's the truth and power of Scripture.
God is at work to draw me to himself; it's not my work. I doubt him and his word frequently, but he is true, good and loving; he can take an ordinary day infuse it, allow the Holy Spirit to be stirred anew, and stick a verse in my head and challenge me to believe and hold onto it... even if I haven't felt super spiritual or close to God or that I've done anything to deserve it. But he's God. He does exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.
