But that's not always the case. Sometimes, it seems nothing will work. And I've wondered about times like this. And as I was reading my Bible last week, I came across a possible, intriguing, answer.
Do not rob the poor because he is poor, nor oppress the afflicted at the gate;The Lord, if he is displeased with us (in this particular instance, about our treatment of the less fortunate), will sometimes plunder a person's soul. And I certainly know what that feels like. Empty. Hopeless. Powerless.
for the LORD will plead their cause, and plunder the soul of those who plunder them. Proverbs 22:22-23

So, we turn to Him and repent. We turn it all around. And again, He refills our spirit with what He took. And again we can taste how good He is.
