Darkness
God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us (Acts 17:27; NIV).
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28; NIV).
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!” Your face, LORD, I will seek (Psalm 27:8; NIV).
Clouds and thick darkness surround him (Psalm 97:2; NIV).
You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light (2 Samuel 22:29; NIV).
Father,
I reach out to you,
To you alone,
My Lord and my God,
Seeking your face
In the darkness.
Please turn my darkness
Into light –
By showing me your will,
And helping me
To follow it,
Today, and every day.
I ask this in your Son’s holy name,
Amen.
