me vs. the desert

"Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life."
Ezekiel 37:4-5

this spiritual dryness is so unbelievably taking a toll on me. i feel constantly parched spiritually, and even physically i've been drinking so much water, my hands look funny. i can definitely feel myself being stretched and tested beyond anything this dry period. sometimes, when i'm by myself, i constantly feel anger just rising from stuff that's happened in the past, which sounds ridiculous but is very very true. Alice even wrote in her blog how this is the period when God tests and trials you, to see if you are growing and maturing in the Word.

i know that I'm supposed to seek God for help because these past couple days has clearly shown me that i can't do it alone. when Ezekiel is put into a desert filled with dry bones, God tells him to prophesy to them to cry out to the Lord, and he does and the bones have life breathed into them by God, and they become alive into an army.

we are just a pile of old rattling bones, all dusty from the lack of spiritual water. but i believe crying out to God like that verse will reach His ears and He'll send us the living water to replenish us and liven us up again.
