When I sit in darkness ...

“…When I sit in darkness the Lord will be a light to me.” (Micah 7:8)

Not moon bright
Not evening, nor
night of day
I sit in the darkness
of life
It is still and quiet
Yet loud and boisterous
clanging noises
unsettling to my nerves
in disarray
constant turmoil

Questions I have
Answers hidden from me
I am frightened
fearful of outcomes
yet needing to know

Do I?
Need to know I mean

If I listen,
intently listen
I hear
The Lord’s sweet voice
calling
responding
and

The answer
I believe necessary
will come to me

Not found in others
No human has
the answer sought

Only my Lord
can provide –
can and will
He is my Light
He is my Answer

He is my ALL
everywhere I am
everywhere I go
He is my Light
My Salvation
My Strength
My Shield
My Everlasting Glory

In the darkness
of day
and that of night
The Lord is the Light
that directs my steps
in the path I go.
