Pastor Micheal Todd did an amazing serise on YouTube on Striding. It was so good. There are 5 pats, here’s part 1: https://youtu.be/QwXyxfwG_9A

I have the best time when I’m Striding with God, walking with Him, taking long specific steps in His direction, taking my time and enjoying His presence across my life.

The problem used to come when things were going really good, it’s real easy, too easy to loose focus on the true source. It could be a book or a video, a post that would get my eyes off God and onto MYSELF. Before I know it I had moved from Striding into STRIVING. Suddenly it was EFFORT, it was hard and it all stops working.

This is where I would refocus. Get back with God and start to Stride WITH Him. It all comes together again. God has been SO GRACIOUS and PATIENT with me.
