Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad

by John Eldredge

God wants to come to us and restore our lives. He really does. But if our soul is not well, it’s almost impossible to receive him. Dry, scorched ground can’t absorb the very rain it needs.

Our souls are exquisite vessels created by God for him to saturate.

We live in a crazy-making world. So much stimulation rushes at us with such unrelenting fury, we are overstimulated most of the time.

Jesus—I give everyone and everything to you. I keep repeating it until I feel like I’m actually releasing and detaching. I give everyone and everything to you, God.

Jesus—I need more of you; fill me with more of you, God. Restore our union; fill me with your life.
