Pushing Back The Darkness

 

...the people dwelling
              in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling
  in the region
  and shadow of death,
on them a light has dawned.

             Matthew 4. 16

Jesus did not come
   to give us Christmas break,
but to deliver us
      from our darkness.
Look to Jesus
       and follow Him out.
God never intended for us
   to live in despair.
Life can be so different,
pushing back the darkness
     instead of being paralyzed
                        by it.
Lord Jesus...Overcome what
             overwhelms us.
         (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)

O LORD,
Come to us and bring us light, 
  the courage to follow You,
  and willingness to trust You.
May Your light
      not just bring us hope
   but to bring us through.
Help us to go forth differently
   into our circumstances,
          guided by Your light.
