Hope
This is a difficult time of year for some of us; cold and
darkness can cause us to feel lethargic and even sad. I would love to have cold and snow for
Christmas, then immediately enter Spring.
Good thing that God is in charge and not me! I understand that the rhythms of nature
require seasons of cold and warmth. I
even understand that the rejoicing that I feel when I see the crocuses growing
is deeper and fuller because I waited in the cold. But- it is hard now to endure the
darkness. I turn to God for hope and the
faith that Spring and warmth and light will come again.
Lord God, who spoke light and life into the darkness, help me to cling
to your promises in this dark time. Help
me to rest with confidence in the knowledge that you are the source of light
and life in my life, day by day. In the
name of the Light of the World, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
