Moments of Intimacy
There is an intimacy with God we can only experience in moments of weakness. There are things about Him we can only get to know in those times.
David didn‘t say, “You get rid of all of my enemies.” He said, “Right here, with death hanging over me and with enemies surrounding me, You are with me. You‘re communing with me, feeding me, and creating intimacy with me in this place of weakness and dependence.”
When we come through that valley of the shadow of death, when we emerge out of the deep end, then what? We have an awareness of God‘s abiding presence that forever changes the way we see impossible situations. Knowing that He is with us even in the deep end diminishes the pressure and anxiety around our taking risks. Put simply, we have a deeper, stronger faith. Our roots are firmly established in the revelation of a Father who never leaves us.

About this Plan
As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
