Dear Child of the Living God:
As a human, we are all too familiar with the dark nights of the soul. When all seems so dark due to pain, illness, fear of the unknown, or any other plaguing pain and not a friend's comforting word or anything else will do. Please let me encourage you to do but one thing:
Seek the companionship of your Heavenly Father whose love for you never will fail. He will meet you in the darkest of places. Though you fear to take a step - call on Him for He has promised to never leave you. Do not rely on the distractions of technology, people, or even your vivid thought life to numb your mind from the pain. Mind numbing is not the solution but only serves to lengthen the darkness. Though it may feel like death to sit in the darkness - do that and call out to the One who knows you inside and out. It is in those dark places that He will bring a comfort and a peace that can steady your heart and renew your strength. He has promised to never leave you and He keeps His word. Allow Him to shed His Light in the darkness. You will soon rise and meet the day.
~Written as one who has fallen along the darkened road and risen yet again time after time for He who has promised is Faithful.
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." - Psalm 23 v 4
