We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth…’” As I said the words, there was a dim flicker of hope beneath the layers of exhaustion. I heard my voice blending in with the voices of those around me, saying words that Christians have said for hundreds of years, reaffirming my faith in the Triune God despite my circumstances and despite my feelings. And as the syllables rolled off my tongue, my weary spirit began to revive.” -Emily McGowin1
