Thought for the Day by Catharine Currell
​(Families Minister)

Picture
Today’s thought is a poem by Eddie Askew from his book ‘Facing the Storm: Meditations and Prayers’. It’s been out of print for many years but can still be found second hand and contains many thoughtful ideas. The poem below is his reflection on John 1:1-9  Catharine Currell

 



​Lord, there are moments
when it seems
that darkness has the upper hand.
Light burns dim,
only a flickering candle
blown sideways by capricious storms.
Clouds roll in
the sheepdog wind herding them tightly
penning them beyond the limits of my sight.
Their shadows race across my meadow.
The air bites chill.
The picnic’s over.
 
Sometimes the darkness
welcomes me
Embraces,
hides my imperfections,
masks my sin
from everyone but me,
and you.
Holds me clamped tight
lest I reach out to you.
 
“And darkness covered the earth.”
Covered it twice, Lord.
First, at creation,
when you brought order out of chaos.
Gave life and light.
Then at the re-creation of the world.
Signed by the cross.
Darkness triumphant,
or so it seemed
for one brief pause,
Then, in confused retreat,
before the risen Lord of life and light.
 
Shine in my darkness, Lord.
Dispel the doubt and fear
that cling so close.
Turn the weak moonlight of my faith
to brighter day
in which I see your radiance,
know your love.
