You know how on school days, lots of people are accustomed to waking up at six or seven sharp, but that when they're on vacation, most people sleep in?
I've heard that in a way, spiritual life can be like that. When you're not going through a trial or wrestling through a problem, when things tend to be all calm and peaceful, you start to get comfortable. Maybe after a long time, too comfortable.
When one kicks back, relaxes just a little too much, they tend to drift into a slumber-like state. Soon enough, they can't remember certain important things like Bible verses, they don't have the energy they used to, and they just aren't accomplishing as much as you did before. One just feels . . . tired.
I think maybe that's why God doesn't let things always be quiet. When we're active, when we're fighting the good fight of the faith, we're using our strength and getting stronger, being wide awake, alert . . . and winning those battles.
So if you feel like you just can't get a break, don't worry. He does give them, and until then, you're getting stronger. :)
