A spiritual malaise happens to us all. There are times that we feel that God has taken an extended vacation and we are on our own. These are the times that we have to move deeper to seek out the next phase in our spiritual lives. The first thing I would recommend is not a retreat from the faith, but to press forward. I find that many spiritual breakthroughs come after a seemingly barren season. In these times we need to hold to those things that help us through.
