Afraid?
“For You light my lamp; the Lord my God illumines my darkness.” Psalm 18:28.
Why are children afraid of the dark?
Maybe it’s a fear of– being left alone, – a feeling of separation, – their vivid imaginations, – or shadows in the dark.
The fact is, children fear the dark for many of the same reasons adults do.
It seems many fears intensify in the night-– creating many sleepless nights.
But I have good news: God is with us wherever we go.
Read a portion of Psalm 139:
“Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the Heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, – even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
Like a loving Father-God offers us a hand to hold in life’s darkest hours.
He’ll carry us through the darkness– and lead us where we need to go.
