Whether it stems from overwhelming circumstances or silent battles within, those moments can leave us feeling alone, helpless, and discouraged. But in today’s prayer and devotional, we’re reminded that Jesus is the Light of the World—and no darkness can overcome Him (John 1:5). If you're feeling weary, weighed down, or struggling with sadness, this prayer is for you. It points you back to the radiant, unshakable light of Christ, who walks with you even through the valley. You are not alone. His light still shines—even when you can’t feel it. 📖 Today’s Bible Reading John 1:4–5 (NIV) “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” 🙏 Let’s Pray Together Dear Jesus, Please help me find light when I feel surrounded by darkness. You are the Light of the World, and Your love pierces through despair. Surround me with Your brilliance and guide me to trust You even in the hardest moments. Thank You that darkness will never overcome Your light. Amen.
