Light in the Darkness

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to You…

Psalm 139:11-12

Lord,

No matter which way I turn, all I can see is pain. Grief and frustration consume my emotions, while laughter and joy seem like a distant memory. I’m afraid I will sink so low or suffer so deeply that I’ll never recover. I wonder if my struggles will leave me broken and alone.

You—and You only—are my light in this darkness. Nothing I feel is a secret to You. No problem is too great for You to solve, and nothing can hide me from Your eyes. I’m trusting You to search for me, find me, and carry me to a “spacious place” of safety and peace (2 Samuel 22:20). Because of Your love, I will be well.

Amen.
