Dear God,

Even the darkness can lead us to you, Eternal God.  When we think we are in the deepest of the deep, even there you can take us to the light.

There have been times in my life where I felt myself in a deep, dark abyss.  I remember feeling despair and a sense of hopelessness.  It was at that moment that I fell backwards into the arms of my Maker and there my trust and faith allowed me to feel the nudge that leaned me toward the light.  I recall that first crack of light and then more and more.  Eventually I fell into that glorious white light where I knew that I knew that I knew I rested in the arms of God.

In the human experience the darkest of the dark can become light.  Why?  Because the darkness can never fully blot out the light.  How?  God is the author of light.  God is the light.  Nothing can completely erase the light.  Faith and trust in the One who said, I am the light of the world," can lead us to the light.

Gracious and Loving God,
you are
the light
that rescues,
saves, warms,
loves, guides
and helps.
Help us
always seek
your light.
Show us
the way
to you.

Love, Andrea
