A prayer..

I pray that as you proceed through this day that you will see God’s “gentle lights.” (Author) Max Lucado talks about “Doubtstorms.” He says “there are snowstorms; there are hailstorms; there are rainstorms; and there are doubtstorms.” He describes doubtstorms as “those turbulent days when the enemy is too big, the task is too great, the future too bleak, and the answers are too few.” But then he goes on to describe “gentle lights” as “God’s solutions for doubtstorms — not thunderbolts — not explosions of light — just gentle lights — visible evidence of the invisible hand. It’s soft reminders that optimism is not just for fools.”
He goes on to say, “When God comes, we doubters think, ‘all pain will flee. Life will be tranquil and no questions will remain.’ But because we look for the bonfire, we miss the candle. Because we listen for the shout, we miss the whisper. But it is in burnished candles that God comes and through whispered promises he speaks: ‘When you doubt, look around; I am closer than you think’.” I pray as you go through today you will look for and see God’s gentle lights.
