God is in the Darkness - A Nighttime Prayer

“And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—-secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.” – Isaiah 45:3 (NLT)
Please Pray:
Dear Triune God,
Help. I’m overwhelmed. Nothing makes sense right now. I can’t see your goodness. Do you even care about me? I am leaning into what the Bible says about you, with my overwhelmed soul and trembling faith. I am making the choice to find you in the darkness, because the Bible says you are here also. The Bible says that the dark clouds surround you and righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. I sure need some righteousness and justice right now. I trust you for this, God in this darkness with me, with my trembling faith. The Bible says you know my name and have not abandoned me. This feels personal as I’m in this darkness. I believe I can feel less lost when you tell me that you know my name. I see you here in the darkness with me. I am comforted. I see you here in the darkness with me. I am not alone. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

It’s Going to Be Okay
It was one of the worst days of my life. Tragedy struck our family in the worst way and I was emotionally paralyzed. That’s when my friend, Mary, stepped in to do what I couldn’t. She made me a hotel reservation, called the necessary people, and said, “It’s going to be okay.” “It’s going to be okay” is one of the most hope-filled sentiments I can offer to others, Read more...
