Do you ever feel like your pain is some kind of divine punishment? Are you tired of walking in seasons of darkness? Instead of automatically assuming that the difficult seasons are meant to punish you, consider the dark times as an opportunity to develop a clearer understanding of your faith. We can find hope in the fact that God meets us in our darkness, and that's where salvation resides.
The darkness is where we will find our cross to bear. Yet the more we walk in the darkness, the looser its grip will become. The fear will fade and you'll be able to see the light ahead. It's time we stop praying to be let out of the darkness, and instead pray to see God more clearly within it.
