Even darkness


Darkness is my closest friend (Psalm 88:18; NLT).

If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the LORD and rely on your God (Isaiah 50:10; NLT). 

Even darkness
Comes from you, Lord –
Loneliness
Is in your gift.

Absence, now,
Instead of presence:
You have set
My soul adrift.

Even silence
Comes from you –
No longer do I
Hear your voice.

Lord, you give,
And take away:
So I will bless each loss –
By choice.

The LORD gives, and the LORD takes away. Blessed be the name of the LORD (Job 1:21; CSB).
