Bible Verse: Psalm 88:18
“You have taken away my companions and loved ones. Darkness is my closest friend.”

Reflect and Respond: Even as the author of today's passage examines his pain, he knows there is a hope for him. A hope seen in the following verses as well: 2 Peter 3:9 , Ephesians 1:18 , Psalm 9:18

Prayer: Father, I know You are near even if I can't feel it. Fill me with Your love, and remind me that Your hope is unbreakable. I give my life to You today, I rest in Your faithfulness, and I will continue to live in Your light. Amen.

3 weeks ago, we loss our oldest and only son due to a senseless driver as our son was walking across the pedestrian crosswalk to go to his office. Please pray for our family, our daughter inlaw and two young granddaughters as they're going through the sudden loss. Thank you.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being patient with the non-believers in my family, and with me when I don’t live up to being a sinless Christian! In my Lord and Savior Jesus’s name I praise you, and pray for better resistance to the devil! Amen

Amen. Yes, the author of today's passage examines his pain, but he knows there is a hope for him. Hope that God will hear him, hope that his life can change for the better, and hope for the feelings of despair to be washed away. Amen.

Yes, God can do the same for me if I let him to do it. Hallelujah!

Father God, I ask for strength to make it through those darkest of moments and come out on the other side full of hope and joy. I pray this for all my family. Amen.
