Pray in the Dark

"...Let us learn to pray in the dark..." Well said Matthew Henry. After all, how difficult is it to pray when skies are sunny, with a gentle breeze carressing your cheek? Words come easy at times like these when the whole world seems to be smiling. Have darkness cover your life and you will soon discover that the same refains you recited when all was well do not trickle so easily from your lips. In these times the cry becomes, "Where are you, O Lord? Please do not hide Your face from me." It seems as if King David had the same lament on several occasions. Are we so different from him? Let us learn how to pray as well in the dark as we do in the light. After all, God is the Father of it all.
