renewed

6/6/11 My breath prayer today is from Psalm 104:30, When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground.

There is a spiritual retreat, a short course in Christianity called the Walk to Emmaus. There is a prayer that is said before each of the 15 talks on the walk. One line from the prayer comes from Psalm 104:30 directly. We are renewed by the Spirit of God. All of creation is renewed by the Spirit of God. God's spirit/wind/breath was blowing over the chaotic waters in the first creation story of Genesis. In the second story, God's breath/wind/spirit fills the lump of clay, and it becomes a human being. God through the Spirit makes us renewed.

Love,
Lynn
