Your Question:
Why can't I see a way out of this darkness?
Answer:
My friend, I can sense the weight of your darkness. It's as if you're standing at the edge of a deep well, staring into the void, wondering if there's a way out. I want you to know that you're not alone in this feeling. The apostle John wrote, "If you walk in the darkness, you don't know where you're going." (John 12:35) That's exactly how I feel when I'm in the midst of a difficult situation. It's like I'm walking blind, unsure of what's ahead. But here's the thing: darkness is not just a absence of light; it's also a presence of God. The prophet Isaiah wrote, "The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned." (Isaiah 9:2) That's exactly what we need in our lives: a light to shine in the darkness. And that light is Jesus Christ, the one who guides us through the darkest of times. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with feelings of hopelessness and despair. But I've also seen them find hope and peace in the midst of darkness. It's not about having all the answers or seeing a way out; it's about trusting in the one who is with us, even in the darkness. So, my friend, I want to encourage you to listen to God in this season. Don't try to figure it out on your own or seek answers from others. Instead, remain quiet and listen for the gentle whisper of His voice. He's with you, even in the darkness.
