God is faithful, even when my light is dim.
You called to me today, Lord. You called and I came. I came in solitude. In worship. I came in gratitude that You are faithful to me even when my light is dim.
You are faithful to me even when I can’t see past the window overlooking the great beyond – my tomorrows. Thank You. Thank You for holding my tomorrows in Your capable hands. Thank You for being in my tomorrows before I even get there. You are orchestrating the days of my life — I need only to rest in that knowledge knowing that nothing takes You by surprise. You are good, Lord. You are kind. And You are mighty to save and deliver us from all our difficult places. Thank You.
I ask that You encourage my friends today – those who realize their light has grown dim also and feel powerless to do anything about it. They feel overwhelmed. Worn out. And totally discouraged. But Lord, You promise to search the earth with Your eyes roaming to and fro seeking those who need to be strengthened. You ride on the wings of the wind to come to our aid. Your thoughts are ever toward Your children.
Your Light searches out our darkened places and illuminates them with Your Presence.
You are magnificent Father. Holy. Exalted. Our Prince of Peace. I stand amazed by Your tender care. Thank You for lifting me from the miry pit. Thank You for opening my eyes to see You near, knowing You are surrounding me with Your precious Presence. Open the eyes of my friends that they might receive the comfort of Your Presence also.
Awaken our hearts to worship You, for we love You, Father. We belong to You.

Hi again! These words are so for me… “I ask that You encourage my friends today – those who realize their light has grown dim also and feel powerless to do anything about it. They feel overwhelmed. Worn out. And totally discouraged.”
As I wrote in my comment in your previous post, I have been feeling as though there is no fruit left in this tree. I forgot to mention that you happened to publish your post on captivity on my birthday. So thanks for the b’day present.
I appreciate your prayers. I’m trying to get my life back on track. It’s painful but necessary. I need to recover fellowship with God first, and my calling second. I haven’t done any writing lately (though my novel’s characters are pretty much alive in my head) and it hurts to be so far away from what I believe were God’s promises for my future. It’s never felt more impossible than now. Well, God is the God of the impossibles, right? I need nothing short of a miracle.
God loves to show Himself mighty in the lives of His children. Seek Him first. Praise Him for who He is. Fill your home with praise music while you work. God is with you, Carina. He is tugging on your heart. Take each moment of each day knowing that He is in the moment with you and He will lead you to the other side.
