I think it is safe to assume the answer is yes. When we talk about going through a dry valley, we refer to the times where it seems we can&#8217;t find God, we can&#8217;t feel Him, or we have hit a place in life where we feel dead inside. In some cases, we find the praying, reading our Bible, and going to church are useless things. Okay, I&#8217;ll bite, let&#8217;s say all of them are useless, what will you do now? My guess is you&#8217;ll stop and read back over that sentence again.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You might ask, &#8220;Ethan, how can you say these things are useless and if you know so much, what should I do?&#8221; The answer is quite simple. Read Psalm 78:15-16:<\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"verse v15\" data-usfm=\"PSA.78.15\"><span class=\"content\">15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span class=\"verse v16\" data-usfm=\"PSA.78.16\"><span class=\"label\">16\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"content\">He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Then read John 4:13-14:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p\"><em><span class=\"verse v13\" data-usfm=\"JHN.4.13\"><span class=\"content\">13 Jesus answered and said unto her,\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"wj\"><span class=\"content\">Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p\"><em><span class=\"verse v14\" data-usfm=\"JHN.4.14\"><span class=\"wj\"><span class=\"content\">14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Notice anything? Your valley may have only had rivers when the rain came but with this new water, we no longer have to worry about the river, we just need to find it. So where can you find this &#8220;river&#8221;?
