How I did it: I realized that doing it by my own strengts wasn't going to help me. I found myself angry, on everything. Angry, I said, Lord I don't like to pray anymore, read anymore. It just doesn't make mee feel happy! I reached the point that I break down in crying! Than something came in my mind, a book I already read a long time ago: Grace the power to Reign from Harold Eberle. I took it and read a piece where Harold Eberle was in the exact same desperate situation. To say it shortly, God showed Him: come to me and stop trying to make Me happy by your works, just recieve MY love for you. Recieve it.
I felt that it was what I actually had to do. I laid down and said, Lord I recieve. It sounds crazy, but I recieved such a peace on that moment!! This love, is now my source everyday, and it makes me thirsty to be with God and talk to Him!!
Questions, contact me!
Lessons & tips: The lesson an tips that I can provide are the following. For a long time I didn't realize what Gods Grace meant. I was trying to satisfy God and myself by diciplin, law and in that way praying. But you know, that is not really trough a inner motivation of love for God... Maybe you yourself are having trouble with really understanding Gods Grace for you. The clue to getting it, is understanding that YOU HAVENT GOT THE SKILLS YOURSELF. You CANT do it, yourself. But all the while you think you CAN do it all yourself, Grace is not needed... Grace is never pushing itself. It flows where there is dry ground. Is your heart dry? I mean, do you truly know that God is the only power that can make you do all things?

God Loves you, each step in a deeper understanding of His love, brings you a step closer in obeying Him. So at the end, we might have done all beautifull works for Him, but all have been motivated and strengtend by He Himself!
