Recharging the Spirit


“Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life,  then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will make the answers known to you through Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 4:6-7 TPT)

Wireless charging pads use resonant inductive coupling to transfer power to electronic devices. Phones and tablets can be placed on these pads for  recharging. Electricity flowing through the charging pad creates an electromagnetic field. When a compatible smartphone is placed on this pad, it vibrates at a similar frequency. This induces current to flow and recharge the battery. 

The wireless charging pad that I currently own is a bit finicky. I have to center my phone on the pad for it to charge. If it is placed haphazardly to one side or another, it doesn’t work properly. But once I place my phone correctly on the pad, it charges continuously until I take it off. 

The technology behind resonant inductive coupling reminds me of centering prayer. Power flows into us when our soul resonates with the Spirit of God. This influences our thoughts, words, and actions. Worry can be emotionally exhausting. It pulls us in different directions and drains our energy. Trust, on the other hand, is continually recharging. It allows us to take every detail of life to God. Gratitude aligns us properly, bringing to focus God’s dependability and consistent providence. All this leads to a peace that transcends human circumstances and understanding.
