Positive Daily Inspiration – October 5, 2022 – DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

“Those that follow me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12

Everyone, sometime in their lives, has a short experience that is called “the dark night of the soul,” where, due to problems, sometimes beyond our control, things look dark and bleak.

But when we go to God, the darkness is turned into light, and we have the light of life which is illumination, hope, positive expectancy, and positive movement.

Even the darkest night, the longest night, gives way to the light of morning. So it is in our search for light and understanding. It may seem that we are going through a night of darkness, but surely and certainly, the light of God dawns for us and a new day of possibilities is born. Just as the first faint rays of the sun light up the horizon, so the first faint rays of God’s light shed light in us. Almost imperceptibly, little by little, darkness of thought and feeling is lifted. We do not have to fight the darkness. It disappears in the light of God’s Truth.

The beauty and the glory of the dawn of the new day cannot compare with the beauty and glory that is within us, with the dawn of God’s truth, in the perception of our minds. We bask in the golden radiance of the light of God Spirit. We no longer walk in darkness but we have the light of life.

In the dawning of the light of God’s Truth, we see all things, clearly and are no longer blind to the opportunities that God brings our way. With God, all things are possible. In Matthew 19:26, our Bible states firmly, “With humans this is impossible, but with God ALL things are possible.”

When we break down that Bible verse into parts, we better understand its meaning, and we discover a number of important things.

First, it declares, “With God.” We begin, therefore, by placing our faith in God who is life, light, love, power, peace, beauty, and goodness.

Second: From that foundation, we go to the rest of the powerful statement, “ALL things are possible.” There are no qualifications, no ifs, ands, or buts. Our deep and abiding faith in God allows the activity of God’s presence to do all things in and through us.

If there is something you have considered impossible because of the darkness in which you may be surrounded, contemplate this promise, “With God ALL things are possible.” Let this mind-expanding thought that is found in our Bible raise you to a new level of unbounded faith in God and in God’s abundant provision for your every need.

POSITIVE DAILY PRAYER:

We gather together
to ask the Lord’s blessing.
God hastens
God’s will to be known
we now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to God’s name.

Beside us to guide us
our God with us joining,
ordaining, maintaining
God’s kingdom Divine;
so from the beginning
the fight we were winning;
thou, Lord, were at our side –
all glory be thine.
We all do extol Thee,
thou leader triumphant
and pray that thou still
our defender will be;
let thy congregation
escape tribulation;
thy name be ever praised!
O Lord, make us free.

(16th-century prayer)
