Dark and light

Romans 6:22-23 “But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

In my darkest times, the smallest light becomes the most noticeable. I acknowledge life can be tough.  Aches and pains, financial distress, strained relationships, and a pandemic, all seem to darken our lives.  In the darkest of places, it is simply easier to huddle away from the cold of worldly reality, close my eyes, and just give up.  Yet, God is still there shining in the darkness. God loves me in the middle of my darkest nights. He is the still small candle that brightens with each looming cloud. He will give me a path to follow.  He will give me a solution to my problems.  He gives me relief from my darkness. God never disappoints those who place trust in Him.

My prayer:

Lord, at this moment I open my eyes to see the light that is revealed to me. Teach me again of your gifts to me of light, justice, and life.
