Lord of the Liminal Space: Reviver

I’m in a liminal space in 2023 – that means it’s an in-between space arching over what was and what will be. As I recover from my divorce in 2022 and many other losses, I’m seeing this year as a liminal space, and I am acknowledging God as the Lord over it all.

This year, I’m starting something new: an unedited prayer poem every day, written in just five minutes. I’m writing it based on the names of God I find in my One Year Bible readings.

Explore this with me daily in my prayer-poems I’ll post here on my site. Find all of the prayer-poems HERE.

Lord of the Liminal Space – Reviver

Based on this reading from the One Year Bible.

 

O Lord

you revived the hopes

long nursed

in Jacob’s heart.

The hope against hope

that his beloved son

was not maimed

but somehow escaped

a painful and shameful end.

 

Thirteen long years

he must have told himself

to give up

yet a tiny spark of hope

kept flickering

deep inside

out of his love

long nurtured

for Rachel

and expressed

so beautifully

in his firstborn son.

 

As the report came to him

shock first arrived

but the hope unfolded

moment by moment

as he heard the stories

and saw the gifts

as proof that hope

was still alive.

 

O Lord

in my liminal space

where hope flickers

in and out

like a flame overtaken

by harsh winds

may I look toward the day

when you will revive

my hope with hard proof

that you had been working

all along

when I couldn’t see it

crafting a beautiful

expression

of your love for me

behind the scenes.
