Musician Tom Walker wrote a song entitled, Leave a Light On.

It's about a friend of his fighting to recover from drug addiction, the lyrics are profound,

guiding like a lighthouse to a place where you'll be.

We have to feel at grace because we've all made mistakes.

If you've lost your way, I will leave the light on.

I think we can all relate to that.

We are each striving to find a safe place to begin healing, hiding in the arms of a safe

spot to feel comforted.

When you think you've lost your way, when you know there is still unfinished work to be

done.

So where do you turn for hope and comfort when you know there is hard work ahead?

This meditation from Philippians 1 is a contemplation on finding consolation and the truth that

God is still at work in you, finding comfort in the assurance that God is not done with

you yet.

But if you ever fight against feelings of abandonment or isolation, I pray you will

feel rescued in this time.

May the Lord be with you.
