Within the Marrow

Thus says the Lord [Eternal] God to these bones: See! I will bring spirit into you, that you may come to life. Ezekiel 37:5

When facing adversity 
Struggling hard through life
We sometimes feel like
A heap of life less bones

So many responsibilities
Demands
Placed upon us
By career, Family and community way upon us

When we know
How we will
Find the energy and motivation
Eternal God promises help

As I grow in excitement
Expectation for a birth of a child
Wonder if have energy to properly
Care for the little one

Parents can likely
Identify these feelings
I pray when we feel tired
Lifeless and bodies are aching for sleep

We can call upon Eternal God’s grace
To breath potency, vigor
And spirit unto us 
So we can care for the child

I have faith that Eternal God
Who can animate lifeless bones
Will do
Just that
