Life is a long and complex journey that includes the tragic and the sublime, the good times and the bad times. Where can you turn when the bad times come? Who will keep your feet from stumbling when your eyes are filled with tears?
Even your closest friends and family can disappoint you-just as you can disapoint them. You can be confident that there is someone who will never let you down, someone who will be there for you in every season of your life, someone who will lift your burdens and provide light for your feet as you walk along the dark and lonely stretches of life's road. That someone is God. He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you. He will walk with you every step of the way.
Keep me safe, O God, for in you i take refuge PSalm 16:1 NIV
God, thank you for the comforting light of your presence and the comforting streangth of your arm that led me cafrefully through the dark places in my life. Amen.
