The problem of praying in the dark 2
A. THE DARKNESS
1. A long time in the dark [2-3]
Be still my soul, Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious will be bright at last
2. Darkness that can be felt [4-20]
This is my Father’s world.
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
3. Unsettled by the darkness [1]
B. THE LIGHT
1. The call to live by faith [4]
2. The promise of glory [14]
3. The grace of humility [20]
