Breath to Bones: Recovering an Embodied, Living Faith
Faith doesn’t die all at once.
Most often, it withers under the weight of performance—when practices become obligations, when prayer becomes effort, when we measure our worth by what we do rather than who we are.
And one day, we wake up in a valley of dry bones, wondering if what once felt alive is gone for good.
"Son of man, can these bones live?" (Ezekiel 37:3)
It is not a question of possibility—it is a question of imagination.
Because faith is not something you resurrect by force.
It is something God breathes back to life.
The first breath comes before the first step.
Formless, Void and Dark
In times of uncertainty and darkness, the first verses of Genesis remind us that we are never alone. The notion that "the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the deep" even when the earth was "formless and void" speaks volumes about the constant presence of the Divine in our lives. This isn't just a story of creation; it's a beacon of hope for all of us navigating through life's formless and void moments.
A Prayer of Light in the Darkness
In the silence, we find solace knowing that, amidst our chaos, the Divine presence hovers close by. "Lord, my life feels formless and filled with voids of darkness. In these spaces, I trust You are with me. Speak light into my life, bring order to my chaos, and fill my void with Your grace and comfort."
This prayer is an invitation to recognize the light that the Divine offers us, even in our darkest times. It's a reminder that we are never truly alone.
