We&#8217;ve all experienced times when Scripture seems irrelevant, and when our relationship with God waffles somewhere between distracted, indifferent, and complaining. What can you do about that? David Powlison offers two suggestions. One asks God to do something for you and the other asks you to slow down and notice some things about yourself.

David Powlison served as CCEF’s executive director (2014-2019), a faculty member, and senior editor of the Journal of Biblical Counseling. He held a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and an MDiv from Westminster Theological Seminary. David wrote extensively on biblical counseling and on the relationship between faith and psychology. His books Seeing with New Eyes and Speaking Truth in Love probe the implications of Scripture for how to understand people and how to counsel. The Biblical Counseling Movement: History and Context explores the background and development of CCEF’s mission. David is survived by his wife Nan, their three children and spouses, and seven grandchildren.
