Every once in a while we just seem to lose steam. I think it was Dr. Leslie Weatherhead - not only one of the world's great preachers, but also a distinguished psychologist who had that experience. It is said that in middle-age he entered a period of depression that was one of almost unrelieved darkness.
One of the things that helped him was a quotation from Robert Browning:
If I stoop into a dark tremendous sea of cloud
It is but for a time.
I hold God's lamp close to my breast.
Its splendour soon or late will pierce
the gloom.
I shall emerge one day.
