Freed from darkness

LENT

He reveals things that are deep and secret; he knows what is hidden in darkness, and he himself is surrounded by light. ~ Daniel 2:22 (GNT)

I am Light that has come into the world so that all who believe in me won’t have to stay any longer in the dark. ~ John 12:46 (MSG)

KEY IDEA:
Jesus is the light who frees us from darkness.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, thank you for coming into the world as the light which chases away the darkness. Sometimes, though, I flee after the departing darkness. There is something so familiar about being in darkness -- even though it no longer feels like home. Strengthen my faith in you so that I can always turn my back on the darkness and toward you -- the light. I'm going to be free of darkness. In your name, I pray, Amen.
