My Flesh and My Heart Fail
When the flesh and the heart fail, where do we go?

Strength from God is not always the strength we are praying for when we pray, "Lord make me stronger." Strength from God is a practical mindset of trust.
When we pray for strength, we often pray for release or endurance to get through a difficult experience, or we pray for an ability to do something really difficult. How does God strengthen us on those days that we feel really weak?
When feelings have the authority in our lives, rather than truth, we can fall into a dangerous trap.
Prayer, at its simplest definition, is communing with God, exercising our relationship with Him. It develops an intimate relationship between us and the Lord. It is also the enjoyment of God...
One of the greatest benefits of being in a love-relationship with God, is to enjoy His presence. This is not a real experience for many of us. We don’t “feel” His presence, or we “once” felt it, but no longer do.
Life is scary. There is reason to be afraid when we look at the world around us, when we contemplate the future. Even when we consider our own limitations, there is reason to be afraid. What must you and I remember when we are afraid?
How should I respond to God's love for me? If I don't obey Him, does that mean that He will no longer love me? These are questions we battle with, how do we respond to this love of God?
Experiencing God's love may start with you letting God love you the way He loves you.
Why is it important not to just know of the love of God, but to know the love of God in our lives.
