Search your heart that you might see
Please pray for me that God will come. I can do no more and have tried all, claimed all, worked all and waited but still I find deadness and no reality to show my kids of the Power of God.

Please see these videos by John MacArthur. I really believe it will help you a lot in understanding and improving your situation. In fact, I highly recommend it to everyone.The title is "Keys to Spiritual Growth" [there's 3 sessions and I believe each session there's 6 parts (each part is less than 10 minutes) to it]. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=john+macarthur+keys+to+spiritual+growth&search_type=&aq=f

But I know the many times that I have sought God to show me what is in my heart and the many times He has answered with a revelation of what is there (He's not finished by the way).
Meanwhile, may I recommend Chopping Wood for Father by Carter Conlon.
[b]Psalm 77[/b]I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God? Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
