The long, dark hours of night have always had a way of bringing our fears into focus. The Bible is filled with examples. The Pharaoh of Egypt once watched death steal away his kingdom. The darkness forced Job to feel the depth of his loss. Even Jesus suffered during the long night before his death.

Have your nights kept you awake? Do worries race through your mind? Are you afraid of tomorrow? Take heart! You do not sit alone in the night. The very Savior who defeated the darkness, who rescued the weary, now comforts you with his powerful words. Let these devotions from Scripture’s darkest nights give you strength for yours. Your Savior will graciously keep you this night and always.
