Hi everyone. I read a good book on intercessory prayer recently and the author mentions a period that is documented by a lot of historical preachers/evangelists called The Dark Night of the Soul. I googled the term but was overwhelmed with all the varying results that came up, some of which had nothing to do with Christianity at all.So I thought I would ask the question here and see what you all can tell me about this. What is it supposed to mean and who wrote about it?Thanks!
The "dark night of the soul" refers to a timewhen GOD seems to hide Himself and the heavensseem to be closed to our prayers. The LORD istrying to school us to persevere and prevail inprayer. The book is by John Chrysotom; also known as ST. John of the cross.
