Fellowship with the Lord that give us the power we need as leaders

What do you do when you have found yourself without the power of God?  How did you continue on?  The Lord has given us basic avenues to be continually filled with his power.  The word and prayer.  There are other ways in which God does it but as leaders we must be devoted to the word and prayer.  Various scriptures point to this.  It is hard work at times and so we decide to work hard at time in the word and praying continually.
