TALK:Consider some of these ideas

“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1)    

• When have you felt trapped by bad news or circumstances?
• Can you trust God in times of struggle?
• Are you ever your own worst enemy?  How often could following God’s guidance help you from doing this?
• Do you find yourself able to stand strong in faith?
• Do you have the patience to wait for God’s action?

PRAY: Gracious Lord, you bid us to put all our trust in you.  Give us faith in your unfailing strength and light, even when we feel surrounded by darkness.  For the sake of Jesus we pray.  Amen

BLESS: May the Lord of light shine brightly up your heart and life no matter what you face.  Amen.
