As the title of my blog indicates, I believe in asking better questions, not more. In an attempt to ring close and true to that maxim, please follow me as I blog.
Is it okay to let the knowledge of your head to carry you through times when the strength of your spirit and the power of your heart don't?
Where do you turn when you no longer feel the immanence of the Promise, Providence, and Presence of God presiding over you?
What do you do when the absolute power of worship fails to connect you to what's is beyond?
I know that I should always carry in my heart a hymn or praise of addoration, appreciation, and submission, but that doesn't stop or help the fact that my life is a mix of chaos right now. I've always said, "Yeah life sucks and times are tough, but I've seen enough in life to know that I should just keep on keeping on." Well, I've hit a wall, and I feel as if I can't keep on keeping on. What do I do?

Geoff, I enjoy your blogs a lot and wish you would post more. And... I think sometimes our "knowledge" in how faithful God is is all that gets us through sometimes. That might not encourage you at all, but at least it will let you know that you aren't the only person to have ever felt that way. :D
A guy named J.P. Moreland once said that "belief" is where faith and experience meet.
I think it would be safe to say that you've followed God long enough to have seen your faith in God confirmed by your experiences in God.
We don't always get that intersection - we don't constantly see God "proving" every faith move with some experience, but hopefully the sum total of your days and months and years with God are enough to sustain you. I would say that it is not "knowledge" that gets through the empty spaces, but rather "memory."
