In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. – Psalms 94:19
Have you been passing through a time when you are tired of body and sick of heart? Do you find it difficult to focus your mind on biblical promises? Has it become hard for you to pray? Don’t write yourself off as a spiritual castaway. You are joining a host of God’s people who have experienced the dark night of the soul.
When we endure such times, all we can do — indeed, all we need do — is lie still like a child in the arms of our heavenly Father. Words aren’t necessary. A comforting father doesn’t expect his child to make speeches. Neither does God. He knows we need His soothing care. In times of trouble, His mercy holds us up (Ps. 94:18). We may trust Him to carry us through that dark night of the soul and on into the dawning light.
Under His wings I am safely abiding,
Though the night deepens and tempests are wild;
Still I can trust Him; I know He will keep me,
He has redeemed me, and I am His child.
When we have nothing left but God, we’ll find that God is enough.
