Your Heavenly Father promises to never lose you, no matter how dark your darkness is.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And as a child, I once traveled with my family to see Carlsbad Caverns. When we reached the bottom of the pit—oh my goodness—they turned out the lights out to show us how dark darkness can be. I panicked and reached for my mother’s hand! And in an instant, she was there, washing away fear and anxiety. She said, “Joni, you’re safe. I would never lose you.” All it took was the reassurance from my mother to know that I was going to be okay. You know, as an adult, I have been through the same very dark times, and I’ve felt that same worry over life’s hardships. My sweet mother is no longer around to hold my hand, but I have the words of Isaiah 50 where it says, “Let him who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.” My Heavenly Father promises to never lose me, and that promise is for you, too, no matter how dark your darkness is.
