Darkness

Today I prayed with someone who desperately needs God to move in a mighty way. Their situation looks bleak and they’ve run out of options.

Perhaps you feel similar. Or perhaps you’re praying for someone facing their own dark times.

Christ’s greatest powers to mend are clearest in the blackest chasms of this world’s brokenness; He was not raised from Sleep, but Death.

Do you travail among dark valleys? He is there too. For He works best among the Hopeless.

And remember, those who faithfully follow Christ may experience even darker valleys than those who walk the path alone.

Because the Faithful walk in the shadow of the Almighty.


“Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”” (Psalm 91:1-2)
