My beloved Jesus ... you know how I felt ... you know my burdens lately ... and you know that you alone can relieve them ... you know how I long to find peace, that peace that can only be found in your arms ... however, the more you look you desire and more ... more seems to me away from you ... Lord, how I need you! ... how!
So today as I read the Scriptures, I felt that the words of Ezekiel were also for me ... like the people of Israel in exile, I'm dry my bones ... I also feel that hope fades ... and that just faith ... but after reading this reading, I understand that nothing is impossible for You ... You are the Lord and Master of ALL ... and with the breath of your Spirit, even the driest of the hearts can be reborn and have life ...
The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and his spirit, the Lord took me and put me in the middle of the plain, which was full of bones. I did pass between them in all directions. The bones were very numerous on the floor of the valley, and were completely dry.
He said:
- "Son of man, can these bones live?"
I said:
- "Lord God, you know."
Then I said:
- "Prophesy to these bones. Say to them: Dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh. Thus saith the Lord GOD to these bones: Behold I will bring in the spirit in you, and ye shall live. Cover you with nerves, will bring up flesh upon you, cover you with skin, I put breath and live, and know that I am Yahweh. "
I prophesied as he commanded me, and as I prophesied, there was a noise. There was a shudder and the bones came together with one another. I looked and saw they were covered with nerves, leaving the flesh and skin stretched over it, but there was no breath in them.
He said:
- 'Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man. You mean the breath: Thus says the Lord God: Come, spirit, from the four winds, and breathe upon these slain, that they live. "
I prophesied as he commanded me, and the spirit came into them, revived and incorporated on their feet was a huge, huge army.
Then I said:
- "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They are saying: Our bones are dried, our hope is gone, it's all over for us. Therefore prophesy. Say to them: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I open your graves, raise you from your graves, my people, and bring you back to the land of Israel. Know that I am the Lord when I open your graves and cause you to leave your graves, my people. I will put my spirit within you and live, you will establish in your soil, and know that I, Yahweh, have spoken and I do, says the Lord. "Ezekiel 37, 1-14
O Lord my God ... I pray this night that breathe new life into the dry bones of my soul and my heart ... blow your Spirit upon me ... your Spirit to restore and renew ... that encourages and encouraged ... that ... you up and strengthens me a new creature ...
My Jesus ... I know you do not deserve to even pay attention to me ... much less ask you this ... but I bow before Thee with confidence ... knowing that your mercy is greater than my misery ... and your love is stronger than my ingratitude ... so, my Lord, not only ask for your favor and grace, but I implore you grant me a meek and humble heart like yours ... a patient soul, generous and submissive, like your Mother Mary ... and unmerited privilege count myself among the smallest and most insignificant of Thy servants ...
I promise, my Lord ... to what is in my hand, gripping tightly with your grace, to offend no more and never depart from you ... amen.
