This prayer is one of trust and hope. Sometimes, when things seem hopeless, we have a tendency to give in, give up, and despair about what is or what is to come. But the people of God do not live in hopelessness, for their faith is one of hope. So when darkness envelops you, look beyond the clouds to the light that they block. The clouds may come, and even stay awhile, but by their nature, they are temporary vapor merely concealing that which is behind them and unchanging.
