Facing Shadows

Introspection & Depth

Scripture

Psalm 23:4

“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

Devotion

October's darkness can bring shadows—fears, doubts, questions, struggles. Scripture teaches that darkness itself is not evil and is not alone. God is present even there. In October, face what you've been avoiding. Look at your shadows with honesty. They lose power when exposed to light. Talk about your fears. Seek help. Let darkness become a place of encounter with God.

Today’s Step

What shadows are you facing? What fear can you name? Can you share it?

Prayer

God, help me to face my shadows. Help me to not hide my fears. Help me to know You are with me even in darkness.
