Download Spirit Hunger: Filling Our Deep Longing to Connect with God AudioBook Free
We all have a needy need for God - not simply for following him or being focused on him, but to be intimately connected to him. We long for goal, for affirmation, for attention, for nurture. But Gari Meacham writes that we are unsuccessful of being in need of God, or we miss the longed-for romance with God we hear about in scripture. We're uncertain how to distinguish our longings from our fears. When, says Meacham, have our longings decide on hauntings? So when did we agree with the counterfeit yearnings for control, and the insecurity, perfectionism and other behaviour that quench Nature Hunger? The answer to Spirit Food cravings is to engage God like never before. In this booklet Meacham shows, through her tale and the stories of others, how to carefully turn worry into belief, problems and heartaches into a life of personal prayer, and sighs for intimacy into closeness with God. She discusses her discoveries about prayer including why requesting may also be hard, how we can notice and observe God's movements once we seek his answers, and why it's sometimes such challenging to believe after we've prayed. Meacham writes, "With the authenticity of my own life stories - relationship to a professional baseball player, challenges with severe food bondage, and a father who was a quadriplegic - I came to the clean realization that my prayer life and my belief needed to match. Nature Hunger provides an obvious path towards matching these heart and soul cries - leading from crumbs and counterfeit, to a hungering for God."
