[God’s] lamp shone over my head, and by 
his light I walked through darkness. - Job 29:3 (NRSV)

Where I live, we have frequent blackouts, so it’s usually wise to carry a flashlight when it’s dark just in case the power goes out.

Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, help us to trust you endlessly, no matter the hurt, no matter the pain, no matter the depth of darkness we may experience. Amen.
