From Under a Dark Cloud

I look up to the sky and a dark cloud is rolling over me. I feel afraid. I feel scared. I feel alone. The rain starts falling and I begin to cry uncontrollably. I feel lost. Where am I? Is there anyone out there? It is so dark and empty. But hope comes… through a friend comes a distant prayer and the rain starts to dwindle. I'm not lonely anymore. I'm not afraid. I am calm. I have peace. I look up-the sky is clearing and the clouds are breaking. I see light.. God's light.. and I know everything will be all right. I am once again in His arms-safe and protected from the darkness.
