1. Going
Deeper
with God

2. Navigating
our own hearts
We know we can go
as deep as we want
with God; or do
we?
Our hidden
insecurities can
keep us from a
deeper connection

3. Feeling insecure is not
comfortable!

4. “I found David son of Jesse to be their
king, a man after My own heart; he
will do everything I want him to do.”
Acts13:22

5. Love the Lord your God with all your
heart, all your soul, all your mind.
Matt. 22:37

6. We want to
pretend we
don’t have
problems or
weakness
because we’re
ashamed

8. We weren’t taught how to handle and
communicate our feelings, so we blame,
make excuses, demand.

9. Our King sincerely wants to help us handle
all of who we are, including all of our
feelings and insecurities

10. Our Hearts are His Garden
His goal: to wander freely in
the garden of our heart

11. Our Hearts are His garden
You’re beautiful from head to toe, my dear
love, beautiful beyond compare,
absolutely flawless.... Song of Solomon 4:7

12. Our Goal: To give Him full access

14. Cultivate Gratitude: effective
tenderizing of the heart
A thankful
heart makes
Heaven right
at home

15. Learning to Lean
I am the Vine,
you are the
branches.
Whoever lives
in Me, and I in
him bears much
fruit. However,
apart from Me,
you can do
nothing. John
15:5

17. Our Heritage is to live
care free, as we share ALL our
cares with Him!
Are you Tired? Worn out? Burned out on
religion? Come to Me. Get away with Me and
you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take
a real rest. Walk with Me and work with Me---
watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms
of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting
on you. Keep company with Me and you’ll learn to
live freely and lightly. Matt. 11:28-30 MSG

18. We are this irresistible
to God!

19. Do come as a child!
Allow the little children to come to
Me and do not hinder them, for to such
belongs the kingdom of God. Luke 18:16

20. Wanting God
more than
We want our
walls

21. You are God’s Heaven on earth
