🌟 Day 1 — Let There Be Light
Scripture:
“And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.”
— Genesis 1:3 (KJV)
If you’ve ever walked into a dark room, you know what it feels like to reach out for something familiar—your hands searching for something stable to cling to. The darkness can make even safe places feel frightening, confusing, or lonely. Yet often, it only takes one small light to change everything.
Before anything in creation existed—before mountains, oceans, stars, or even a sunrise—God spoke just four words: “Let there be light.” Darkness wasn’t fought, debated, or wrestled into submission. It didn’t slowly fade out. It simply disappeared when light appeared.
This is how God still works.
Many people struggling with anxiety or emotional heaviness feel pressure to “fix” themselves before they can come to God. But God didn’t wait for the darkness to shrink before He spoke. Light came first. He didn’t demand clarity before He created beauty. He simply began with a word.
Maybe your life right now feels dim, heavy, or unclear. Maybe you feel lost in thoughts you can’t control or emotions you can’t name. Darkness isn’t a sign that Jesus is absent; it’s often the place where His light becomes most beautiful to us.
What if, instead of forcing ourselves to be okay, we simply invited His light in?
Jesus does not ask you to brighten up.
He invites you to come as you are and allow His light to begin the healing.
His presence doesn’t erase all fear instantly—but like the first dawn after a long night, His light promises that darkness does not have the final word.
Let today begin with a whisper as simple as creation itself:
“Lord, let there be light in me.”

🙏 Prayer
Lord, You are the Light that no darkness can overcome. I bring You the weary parts of my heart and mind. Shine into the places I don’t understand, the burdens I cannot carry alone, and the shadows I’m afraid to face. Let Your light bring peace, clarity, and hope to my anxious heart. In Jesus’ name, Amen
