Today’s Topic: Light in the Darkness

TODAY’S READING
John 1:1-14
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Christ’s light gives me hope.
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. – John 1:5 (NIV)
Why should I continue to pray? Why should I continue to read Bible verses that I have read hundreds of times? Our messy world and the challenges people face in their daily lives make me question my morning routine. Everywhere I look, the world is a mess. Not a week passes without learning about a relative, friend, or neighbor who is facing a crisis of some kind. I have learned that no one is immune from trouble.
And then some mornings, a total stranger from another part of the world will touch my questioning heart. Their heartfelt words in The Upper Room will give me hope. That hope in the darkness pushes me to revisit these words from John 1:5: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” To overcome the darkness in the world, all of us must hold fast to Christ’s light.
TODAY’S PRAYER
God of us all, help us always to seek your light and cling to that light in all circumstances. Amen.
PRAYER FOCUS
