The Dark Days

"The Dark Days" By Diane Webb

Psalms 77: 10—"And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High."

When you are in dark days remember the good days. Remember when you were closest to God and He blessed you abundantly. Hold fast to the knowledge God still loves you and will never forsake you. It is hard when you are going through rough times. Sometimes it feels as if God as abandoned you. Do not despair. God is always near. He is molding you into the person he wants you to be. When you feel discouraged, alone, or rejected bring to mind the days and times you felt closest to God. Remember answered prayers. Remember the miracles in your life. Remember when His hand on you was obvious. Go through each day with the knowledge and understanding you are still God's child. Even in hardship and even in disobedience you are still God's child. You may walk away from Him but you can always come back. You can distance yourself from Him yet he is always there waiting for you to move closer. Pray for help during the dark days. Pray for the memories of the good days—the days you were confident in your relationship with God.

Dear Heavenly Father please forgive me of anything I may have done to distance myself from you. I want to come as close to you as I possibly can. I want to get through the dark days with renewed strength, courage, and faith. I never want to forget you are my savior and you are always there with me. I pray humbly in Jesus' name, Amen.
