This dark night of the soul seems like it has lasted forever.  At times it doesn’t seem like I’ll survive it.  Most often I just finding myself crying out to God for mercy.  Dogma fails me.  Doctrine fails me.  They are cold and lifeless.  Only Christ Himself matters.  He alone is the answer.
Whatever might threaten us, whatever might burden us, whatever might confuse us, whatever might frighten us….Jesus is the answer.

When times become most difficult, dear one, cling tightly to Christ.  Cling to Him for dear life.  Let nothing else stand in your way.

Behold, he stands at the door of our hearts and knocks.  Shall we open it?  Lift up you gates, lift up you doors…and let the King of Glory come in.  Who is the King of Glory?  Jesus, our deliverer, our hearts desire, he is the King of Glory.
