What does the Bible say about spiritual lethargy?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible depicts spiritual lethargy as a state of indifference and neglect towards God, often found in the lives of believers.

In the Song of Solomon, the church's condition of slothfulness and indifference is explicitly addressed, signifying a common struggle within the body of Christ. Believers frequently find themselves spiritually lethargic, as illustrated by the bride who confesses, 'I sleep, but my heart waketh.' This indicates a conflict where the heart remains alert to the love and demands of Christ, even when the body and spirit fall into complacency. The Scriptures urge believers to remain vigilant and avoid becoming indifferent to God’s grace and presence in their lives.
