Timorous time within the darkness

Recently, I realized my apprehension towards the night, darkness, short days, and long winters. As I approach another winter season, my perspective shifts, and I find myself concerned about the impending long winter days. This morning, while reading, I made a connection between this fearful period of darkness and moments in my life marked by heated arguments, angry words, and feeling vulnerable. The darkness symbolizes the unsettling aspects of my inner self striving for liberation, struggling for stability, and safety feeling out of reach.

I realized the other day how much I love the sunrise and the day waking up and returning life to the dark corners. The warmth the sun brings and how I feel safe In the rising rays that spread over the landscape.

As I enter a new season with shorter daylight hours and more darkness, I turn to the Father for guidance. I learn to trust Him in the nighttime, realizing that His presence remains strong even when darkness surrounds me. In the midst of the night and shadows, I find comfort in knowing that the divine presence never fades away.

Grant me a fresh perspective on the night and its enchanting beauty. Its vivid and captivating presence becomes apparent to me as light illuminates the earth and my day. Allow me to appreciate the beauty of the night, as it serves a purpose. May I rediscover my love for the night and its tangible presence. Nothing can distance me from the divine presence, not even darkness, short days, or long cold winters.
