Darkness

God - sees us all the time. 

During our most joyous. When our individual worlds are suffused with the soft light and gentle warmth of the emotional equivalent of sunshine. We can feel that warmth on our skin, penetrating deep within to bring our hearts alive. 

At these times our prayers are bright with gratitude.

He also sees us at our darkest. Those times when our individual worlds are clouded - as if our very souls can't see thru the fog. As if everything is shrouded with an impenetrable dim light that refuses to allow us any clarity of thought or experience.

At these times our prayers are consumed with need. 

Indeed, God loves us no matter how we approach his throne of grace. He wants us to be happy and rejoices when we are. And he stands solidly with us when we feel like we don't deserve his love.

Send your prayers and petitions to our Savior. Seated at the right hand of God, Jesus Christ is our mediator, our salvation. He is the light in our joy. His light shines when ours just can't.
