Are you afraid of the dark? This book shares how Jesus brings comfort to our darkness.
When darkness envelopes us, we are often afraid. Following one of the more poignant phrases in the Bible, Jesus begins to speak to His disciples. Hereafter as Jesus spoke, He removed the fear and foreboding surrounding His disciples, with urgency and gentleness. By His words, Jesus brought Comfort to the Darkness.
Get to know Him, for he provides The Comfort of Night.
Excerpt
“I’m afraid. Can you lay down with me?” Most children seem to be afraid of the dark, so it came as no surprise when my children started expressing their fears at night. My husband and I were keenly aware of these fears since bedtime heightened their fright. As parents, we were conscious of the dark and the worries—irrational or otherwise—that darkness could evoke. In our attempts to calm their fears, we bought night-lights and tried reading bedtime stories with them before going to bed, with little success. If you're a parent, you know there isn't much which makes your child feel safe beyond your presence for in a little child's mind, the darkness seems overpowering. That all changed when I discovered glow-in-the-dark stars, which affixed to the ceiling. I was elated; this was an ingenious idea. During the day, they were invisible, but once I flipped the switch in their rooms at night, those tiny stars glowed. My children's eyes gravitated to those stars as sleep slowly weighed down their eyelids. I distinctly recall peaking in to see if everything was OK and peacefully watching them gazing at those stars. Over time, my children no longer needed my presence to make the night feel safe. Those glowing stars provided the comfort they needed while they drifted off to sleep.
