Shine His Light on Dark Thoughts
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. For those who lived in a land of deep shadows—light! sunbursts of light!—Isaiah 9:2 (MSG)
This time of year when the nights are long, the world can seem like a dark place. Remind yourself that God’s light is infinitely brighter than the light on the Earth and by spending time with Him you bring heavenly light into your life!
Dear God, when I am feeling down, You have the power to turn my darkness into Light.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.—Psalm 119:62 (KJV)
Worry takes a tremendous amount of energy and often robs us of sleep and joy. Pray for the strength to follow the Lord’s instruction and let go of your fears. Take His words to heart—“Fear not!”—and feel a spark of excitement grow into joy.
Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.—Psalm 126:5 (NIV)
