Comfort in Times of Grief
I am the light of the world.—John 9:5 (NIV)
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.—Acts 16:25 (NIV)

Lord, I long to be true like the Apostle Paul—knowing that nothing in this world can silence Your song in my heart.
I am the light of the world.—John 9:5 (NIV)
Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.—Genesis 28:18 (NIV)
They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams.—Isaiah 44:4 (NIV)
