Light from Darkness

A young woman lay in her bed. Sleep eluded her for hours as she tossed and turned. She knew what was keeping her awake. Her mind couldn’t stop thinking about her problems at work, her shallow relationships, and, even worse, her complete lack of faith that God still cared about her. But then the moonlight shone through the blinds and illuminated her face, reminding her amidst silent tears streaming down her cheeks, that the Light of the World still watched over her.

Life is sometimes like the night: seemingly no end to the darkness, just solitude and loneliness. Problems appear larger than life, and cries to God seem to go unanswered. Paul explains in Romans 8:26–27 that at our weakest point, the Holy Spirit will speak for us, communicating what we ourselves do not know we need.

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

After all, who knows our hearts and our needs better than the One who created us?

When we are at our weakess, the Holy Spirt will speak for us. @MargaretMcSweeney @RemixHer
