Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I have taken very few pictures of the night skies mainly because I haven’t developed the technical skills I need but also because to get a good image of the stars you need to be as far away from the lights of civilization as possible. And being this far away from city lights means being alone at night, in the darkness, afraid. Night and darkness are common metaphors for fear, sadness, and loss. To face times of darkness in our lives we must trust God and lean into his strength. Take hold of his hand and then, even in the darkest night, you will see the stars.
Prayer Lord of the Night When we walk through the nighttimes of our lives, remind us to reach out and take your hand. Take away fear and discouragement and replace it with your strength. Show us the beauty of the stars. Amen
