Divine life in me is my strength, my comfort, my all.
When
an anxious parent waits for news of a sick child, a community prepares
for inclement weather, or any other fearful situation, how do we find
the strength of mind to hold fast in faith? In every experience God is
with us, our strength, our comfort, our all. Poet James Dillet
Freeman reminds us of this in his prose I Am There: “Do you need Me? I
am there. You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by .... Only in
absolute stillness, beyond self, can you know Me as I am, and then but
as a feeling and a faith. Yet I am there. Yet I hear. Yet I answer. When
you need Me, I am there.” In the midst of darkness, divine light
guides our way. During times of sorrow, God’s peace soothes our raw
emotions. Everlasting peace is found in knowing God’s presence. God is
there.
I will comfort you.—Isaiah 66:13
