During my quiet time this morning, I found myself asking "Can these bones live?". The answer is YES - God can always bring us to a place of spiritual renewal and life. The real question I believe is - "Do these bones want to live?". In our journey with Christ, we definitely go through seasons of spiritual struggle - if we aren't we may need to question our growth. But there are also times in our journey with Christ where we may feel the desire to "quit". The past year has definitely been a time of spiritual struggle for me, and there have definitely been times where I wanted to "throw the towel in", but it is time to ask myself - "do these bones want to live?". The answer is, and for my entire life has always been - YES. So, today I pray for a renewal of my spirit, for a fresh wind of new life to blow through. I pray forgiveness and grace and an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I pray it this morning for all of you too.
Have you ever found yourself in the valley?
