This morning, I huddled in the crisp, cool darkness of the morning. I spilled out my worries. The same ones He always hears. I drew names out of my heart……
I whispered them and as I prayed I imagined them floating up…..up…..up toward that Throne.
The only One who matters, heard them.
Received them.
Then, after the spilling out of my cares was done. I figured I needed the serious praying posture. The head down and knees bent variety…..and no words except praise for Him who is worthy. Filling the silence I thought of the verses in the Bible that describe Isaiah’s vision:
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
There in the silence, I could almost hear it.
I discovered once again, that the best way to beat back the darkness is with praise.
It’s the one thing I have found that never fails.

I woke this morning with that Scripture in my thoughts. “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
Thank you for sharing this.
Hey Deb, we were on the same page this morning I think! I think of that verse so many times when I get up and see a marvelous sunrise or the stars in the desert at night 🙂 Lori
So true Lori, praise sure does “beat back the darkness.” Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.
