Drained

Spiritually, and emotionally I've been feeling quite drained lately, and I hate it.

I was listening to K-love the other morning after picking Paige up, and the host was talking about how we often go to the phone before we go to the throne. And that's really been on my heart. When something happens, I tend to go straight to my phone to text one of my friends to pray, but I don't stop and take the time to pray myself first.

A handful of friends are dealing with some really tough stuff. Things that I have been storming the gates of heaven with in prayer. But its so much easier some days to say "hey- can you pray for ----?" instead of praying myself, and really pouring my heart out to God. I keep looking for some resolution in these things- and nothing has come yet. I know God is doing something, He never leaves us hanging. Its just hard when its so many different situations, and so many friends who are hurting.

I need to find a book that will help me refocus on God. Something that will give me the strength I feel like I'm missing right now.

Any suggestions?
