Too many demands

Fewer precious hours

Life out of control

Darkness set to devour

Light beams from God’s Word

Life’s frantic pace slows

Moment by moment

Steps finding high plateau

Fresh landscape of peace

In God, faith shall trust

Heart fills with new hope

Priorities adjust

Hidden darkness flees

Armor of light worn

God’s grace stretching out

His answers come each morn

Prayer’s conveyance

Journey with God’s love

Freedom at last found

Guidance breathes from above

From Romans 13:12: “The night is far gone; the day is near. Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”
