Sorry, I disagree. Jesus wanted our "joy to be full." Periods of dryness happen. But they are the exception, not the rule. At least in my experience.

The small voice is the entrance to a huge kingdom. In my experience if I draw near to the small voice, amazing riches open up and become very real to me. If I hang back, the small voice is always there, but it remains small. But that's my choice, not his.
