Don't get lost in the darkness...

My prayer:

Wonderful Father. I know my time would be best spent finding the few bright spots of today but I just don't have the energy. Today I hurt, physically, emotionally, just hurt. And now, I am tired. 

I know that tomorrow will be better. I know that my hope is in you and you have a good future for me. And, I promise, I will be able to focus on that, tomorrow. 

Tonight, I just need relief and rest and your voice...

What God Said Tonight:

I will comfort you but I will not baby you. 

You will get up tomorrow and face the day. You will have strength beyond your capability. You will have peace in the middle of the storm. You will have joy in the midst of mourning. You will have it all because you have me. 

Your healing is here. Your rest is here. Because I am here. Everything you need and everything you ever will need is in me and I will provide. Come to me and I will pour out a blessing you cannot contain. 

You know that it is always darkest before the dawn. Your dawn is on the way. Do not get lost in the darkness. Do not take up residence in the darkness. Allow yourself some needed rest but then, get up and stand strong with me by your side and in you. 

I love you daughter and I hate that you hurt. I will remove your pain as your find comfort in me. Rest your head here, with me and I will comfort you, for tonight. I will help you up tomorrow and I will stand with you in the face of every challenge.
