There is a word for this, and it is not a word for failure

Shirrah is a burst of zeal. Fatrah is the slackening that follows it.

The two are named together in the reports as a pair, which is the part almost nobody is told. Not zeal as the norm and slackening as the fall from it. Both, alternating, as the ordinary shape of a religious life.

That single fact changes what a dry month means. It is not evidence that you have been abandoned. It is the second half of a pattern the tradition already described.
