Refuge in Darkness

Devotion: Lately, my trust in humans has been broken. My marriage of 27 years is gone. Betrayal, anxiety, anger, grief, emptiness. And yet, with every step God has carried me through the darkness. My trust in God has increased as my trust in others decreased. I have learned to fully rely on God to provide refuge. When there was no way, God forged a new path. When there was no forgiveness in my heart, God has found a way to soothe the bitterness and hurt. I am still not 100 percent. I am still finding my way in this new territory, but I know that God will deliver me through this time. God has promised and in God I trust.

Prayer: Lord God, today we pray for those who are grieving the loss of relationship. Help them to find refuge in you, fight their battles for them and send your angels to lift them up.
