“There’s no place too dark for God’s light to penetrate
and no heart too difficult to be set aflame by His love.”

I have come as a light to shine in this dark world,
so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark.
John 12:46 NLT
***
O Lord, you are my lamp.
The Lord lights up my darkness.
2 Samuel 22:29 NLT

“Why blame the dark for being dark?
It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn’t as bright as it could be.”
Rob Bell
***
“You are the light of the world.
A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16 NIV
***
“It is the responsibility, yet the individual choice, of each of us
to use the light we have to dispel the work of darkness,
because if we do not, then the power of falsehood rises.”
John Lewis, Across That Bridge
***
Holy Father,
in times of darkness, we seek Your light to guide our hearts.
Strengthen our faith, that we may rise above despair and doubt.
Help us to trust in Your promises, illuminating our path with hope.
May Your love dispel the shadows, and grant us the courage to stand firm,
knowing that with You, we can overcome all challenges.
Amen.

“There is always light.
If only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.”
Amanda Gorman
