Job 11:16

Job 11:16
Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

Father God, looking back, I can remember the darkness and I remember being lost, but your gift of hope is so powerful, that the memory is overwhelmed by your presence - so much so that even the hurt has faded. I pray that others are able to believe, and in so turning their lives over to you, hurt is transformed into hope - and the shadow into shining.
