When Darkness Reigns

Inevitably, dark times will wreak havoc in each person's life without immunity. Struggles and hardships can become overwhelming and debilitating. Among those struggles lie the indelible effects of loss and death. Such tragedies and circumstances can leave one with a feeling of hopelessness. Sadly, loss can be a commonplace experience in the life of a caregiver.
Caregiving is a crucial, yet often difficult role given to many who are tasked with providing nurturing and even life-sustaining care for another. Caring for a loved one is a critical responsibility that can ultimately, when intertwined with other complex trials and tribulations, drive a caregiver to become a seeker of answers and strength in order to alleviate pressures from discouragement and even despair.
Many who reach perilous levels of desperation are led to search for hope and comfort which is often difficult to find in this fallen world. However, courage to conquer fear and defeat is found in abounding faith and trust that is only derived from seeking the presence and power from a heavenly Father who never disappoints or abandons us in our times of need.
The divine Words provided by our Lord and Savior can become a lifeline to those who struggle with life's daunting and crippling challenges. When darkness reigns upon your life, let this writing transform you from being driven by fear and brokenness to one who is abundantly upheld in strength and who overcomes darkness by becoming richly filled with faith.
