“Send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling!”
– Psalm 43:3
Whenever you find yourself in darkness or despair, lift up this same prayer. Let God’s light bring you back to Him. The truth is He never left you. Not if Jesus is your Lord. It’s just that it can be easy to become blind to His presence because of busyness, distraction, earthly circumstances, or sin. Nonetheless, God’s light can cut through any and all darkness. Turn to His written word, the Bible, and read once more of the truth of His love for you that has been demonstrated in the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. Turn to Him, the Word Made Flesh, Jesus Christ, your Savior. Cry out to Him and let Him comfort, strengthen, love, and guide you out of darkness and into His radiant light.
If you find yourself in darkness, don’t choose to stay there. Don’t stubbornly insist on finding your own way to the light. God is the light. Turn to Him, no matter how dark things may be or how far from Him you feel. His love, grace, and mercy are always ready to lead you back into the light of His presence. #FollowJesus
