Meditation Verse: Psalm 43 “Send out your light and your truth.”

In recent weeks I have been drawn back over and again to Psalm 23, this week’s verse sits side by side with Psalm 23:4

^“4 Even when I walk
    through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
    for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
    protect and comfort me.”

If we were walking through a very dark valley, physically and metaphorically, light and truth would be a welcome companion.  I am not immune to the occasional dark day, in the past I would have let the worries consume me but I now know to pause, go back to my routine of a coffee, Bible reading and morning prayer and things seem a little lighter and easier to deal with.  Give it a go, it really helps to re-centre your day and our prayer resources can be found at https://www.renewwellbeing.org.uk/get-involved
