Faith in the Darkness
In the midst of struggle and the turmoil of our minds, a whisper rises from the darkness:
“Take My hand.”
But we see nothing.
Again, the whisper calls:
“Take My hand.”
Still, only blackness lies before us.
Yet the voice draws closer, gentle and full of love:
“Take My hand, My child.”
In blind faith, we reach out—and something meets our grasp.
We feel presence, though our eyes see nothing.
This is faith: not something seen, but something deeply known.
It is belief.
It is longing.
It is hope.
In times of trouble—whether our own or others’, whether known or unknown—we may not see the light.
But faith is the way forward.
Not sight, not certainty, but trust.
Trust that even in darkness, God is near.
Faith carries us when the path disappears, and reminds us:
We are never alone.
— 2 Corinthians 5:7
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
— Isaiah 42:16
“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.”
