View the post for February 17 for an explanation of my Lenten Project When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. The crowds were gone from the park. The starkness of the cloudy day brought a kind of sadness. The tide was low and the blue skies and crashing waves we came to see were not to be seen. In the distance was the light house, so far away and so small. Yet there it was on the point, doing its job to guide the boats safely into the cove and home. I still took the picture even though it was not the image that I had come to take.
So many of us are experiencing stark and lonely days. We wonder if we will ever feel safe again; if we will ever see blue skies; if God is still there. God doesn’t promise that there will always be clear, blue sky days. Instead He promises to be the lighthouse that guides us through stark days and safely home to him. His promises are true. If we keep our eyes on him we will see His beauty even in lonely places. Prayer Lord God, Even on our cloudiest days be the light that shines through the clouds. Help us to see your beauty even on days without clear, blue skies and to trust you to guide us safely home. Amen

I love the analogy to the lighthouse. Your words also brought to mind a poem a Training Union (talk about a throwback) teacher gave me.
