Fuel

“He (God) Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other.” - C.S. Lewis

Praying With Confidence!

The emphasis here is on God's will, not our will. When we communicate with God, we do not demand what we want, rather we discuss with him what he wants for us. If we align our prayers to his will, he will listen, and we can be certain that if he listens, he will give us a definite answer. Start praying with confidence!

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him. 1 John 5:14-15

Brokenness

Brokenness is the ground from which spiritual power grows. Welcome brokenness. Embrace it. Don't fear or resist it. Like the kernel of wheat that falls into the ground to die, the outer layers of your flesh--self-centeredness, pride, self-trust--must be broken so that the life within can emerge. (He Restores My Soul)

"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds" (John 12:24)
