Day/night…light/dark. For the cover of my prayer workbook, Pray for Guidance, I took a photo of a woodland trail on a sunny day. The low, winter sun cast long shadows. The fork suggests a choice in direction. The main trail continues to the left, while a narrower trail turns right. Can you see it? The darkest shadow stretches along that path.

Many times our lives are joyous one moment, then overshadowed by tragedies and hard choices. Sometimes we are forced to take the darker path. But if we stay on the path, we will find our way back to light.
How have you kept walking through a time of darkness? Or maybe right now you feel yourself in the shadows. Can you see the light ahead?
