Those moments of darkness that women can relate to:

When we feel we don’t measure up to another.

When our marriage is facing a trial.

When a friend hurts us.

When the past haunts us.

When a casket is lowered.

When our body is not what it was.

When a dream falls through.

When we feel left behind.

When the money isn’t there.

When we mess up.

Moments like those just described are a few of many that the enemy wants us to feel defeated in.

Moments of darkness can drive us to our knees with tears pouring down our faces. Since we are already on our knees, we are in a natural position to pray to our Rescuer and let Him come save us , “But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me” (Micah 7:7).

Sweet sister in Christ, let’s remember that when we have fallen into darkness, let’s put our hope in Him. Pray! Wait! He hears us! He will be our light! We can then cry victory over Satan saying, “Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light” (Micah 7:8).

What truth! What hope! What promise!
