Running out of petrol

One of the most embarrassing moments I have had while driving was when I ran out of petrol on the drive home from work. I had taken a chance on my almost empty petrol tank of being able to reach home. It is like that for us all in our lives. Unless we equip ourselves with sufficient necessities for our life’s journey we may find ourselves running on empty or running out altogether. What do we need for our journey? How about prayer, self care, loving relationships and meaningful and useful work (not only paid work)?
