Amen. Blessings @bigssam. We must remain in the vine. For the branch cannot exist with the nutrients from the trunk. Intimacy with God is the only way we can survive. We must get close to Him by reading the word and prayer.

1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. (Psalm 1:1-3, )
