Gathering the Embers: When Faith Breaks, Who Holds the Fire?
"When faith breaks, what remains? After the fire of loss, grief, or deconstruction, something still glows. This reflection is an invitation—not to rebuild what was, but to notice what still burns, what still calls you forward. You are not alone in the wilderness. The embers are still warm."
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.
