Lord, you spoke the world into existence. By the very words of your mouth, all nature came into existence. If just one thing was left out or miscalculated, it would not have worked. If the earth's axis was tilted just a hair too far or not far enough... If the moon was just a little too big or too small... If the orbit of one of the planets was off just a little, it would have all come crashing down.
But you hung each planet, each star, each satellite in the perfect place. You set it all in motion, timed the orbits perfectly, and here we are. How? Why?
Because you wanted to. We may never know how, and that's okay. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you did, and here we are.
So, if you can do all that just by your word, you can speak life into a man's heart.
You hovered over that formless, empty darkness of the not-yet-created. And you hover over that dark, empty heart:
A heart that yearns for you, but doesn't know it.
A heart desperate for light and life.
A heart that is searching--that has just about given up the search.
A heart that thinks things will never change--that this is all there is.
A heart that used to feel so deeply, but now is numbed by drugs and alcohol--hopeless & void
God, you took a formless, empty darkness and created a magnificent universe. You can take a dark and empty heart--one that is void of any hope--You can shine your light, your life in that heart! And darkness will not overcome it. --John 1:5
Hallelujah, praise the Lord... for you commanded, and the heavens were created. You set them in position for ever and ever; You gave an order that will never pass away. --Psalm 148:1-6
You said, "Let there be light in the darkness." And there was... now let your light shine in that heart so that he can know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Christ. --2 Corinthians 4:6-7

I would love to hear from you! Let me know what you think and how I can pray for you. Most of us are carrying some pretty heavy baggage and the good news is, you don't have to carry it alone! You can lay it at the feet of Jesus, and sometimes we need help just letting go of our baggage and not picking it up again. We're in this together!
