Darkness

“…even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.”

Psalm 139:12

“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. All those who do evil hate the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But those who live by the truth come into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”

John 3:19-21

Lord – search my heart and find the dark places. Reveal them to me, that I may see them as you see them and despise them as you despise them. Let me not attempt cover or hide the darkness within me, but lay open those places in my heart that your light may shine upon them. Surely I cannot hide the darkness from you, for darkness is as light to you.

Without fear this day I ask that you will show me the darkness within me. I give it over to you. I openly offer to look upon it that I may acknowledge it and expose it to your light. I pray that I might become as transparent to myself as I am to you, recognizing that there is no hiding place within me where you have not searched. Change me, O Lord. Heal me.

"...let the LORD judge the peoples.

Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness,

according to my integrity, O Most High."

Psalm 7:8
