We have to make sure that we are connecting with the heart of God in everything we do, especially ministering to others. I went out to Skid Row in LA the other week and prayed with so many people who are so broken and in chains. When I left, I was so emotionally exhausted from being there but God reminded me that I don't have to try and change them or fight the battle. But God is there to do that for me. Important to reach people with him always speaking through you to others. He will give you strength if you are not doing it on your own. The quiet moments with you and God and what you do in private is really what matters to him! What you do in public is just a reflection of what God is teaching you in your private times with him.
