O Morning Star, Arise. My Darkness Needs Your Light

Posted by Nan Jones | Feb 9, 2025 | Uncategorized |

Lord, I’m struggling. Not every moment of every day, but there are some days that overwhelm comes in like a tsunami and consumes me. I sense a steady slide that needs Your intervention. You are the bright and Morning Star. Would You shine into my darkness and overcome it with Your light?

In the morning I look to You. As I sip my coffee and watch the sun come up over the ridge, I lean into Your love and find peace. Indeed, Your mercies are new every morning. I open my mouth and You fill it … I’m so thankful.

Like a Tapestry Pattern, I Trudged Along on Repeat

I pulled the hood on my jacket closer to ward off the chill in the air. Like a tapestry pattern repeating over and over, my footsteps trudged along our mountain road. My daily walk with Jesus is consistent, predictable, and beautiful.

And lately, beneath each step, a tangled mess of heartbreak and often frustration appears — just like the underside of a tapestry.

God, You are in the Midst of Us. Open Our Eyes to See

Father, Your love has lifted me from the pit of miry clay. You have set me on high — safe and secure in Your arms, for You are a strong tower for me. In Your presence is where I want to be — I need to be. You are in the midst of us. We need only to open our eyes to see You. Teach us to look for Your fingerprints all about us.

You have taught me to abide in You as You abide in me. You have taught me that it is in You that we live and move and have our being. So why am I anxious?
