When sorrow is your companion, the nights can be long. Sleep can be elusive. Restlessness is the way of the hours that pass in darkness. Things can look different in the dark of night. The shadows of hurt are long and light of day seems unattainable.
But God!

He’s there with me – always! Hebrews 13:5

My list could, of course, continue to becoming the longest blog post in the history of blogdom.
I could go on and on…
If you are struggling (and who isn’t) look up these verses, search them with your heart. Be still and know that He is God.
Below is a sweet song (one of many) that I listen to during these long nights. It’s a great song by the amazing Ellie Holcomb!
He is my Night Song! Psalm 42:8
Night Song – Ellie Holcomb
Morning feels so far away, questions keeping me awake
Will you sing, sing your night song?
All these lies that are owning me, all this fear, makes it hard to breathe
Will you b, be my night song?
Chorus:
The truth that sings into my darkness
The melody of love that leads me on
The voice that comforts all my sadness
Oh, even when the suffering is long, be my night song
Verse 2
Unmet longings steal my mind, calm my heart with your lullaby
Will you sing, sing your night song?
The sound of love surrounding me, promise that you will never leave
How I need, I need your night song
Chorus:
The truth that sings into my darkness
The melody of love that leads me on
The voice that comforts all my sadness
Oh, even when the suffering is long, be my night song
Bridge:
Be my night song, oh, be my night song, oh
Be my night song, oh,
Be my night song, oh, be my night song, oh,
Be my night song, oh, be my night song
Chorus:
The truth that sings into my darkness
The melody of love that leads me on
The voice that comforts all my sadness
Oh, even when the suffering is long, be my night song
