A young woman was sitting in the darkness, her eyes closed and her head in her hands. She felt lost and alone. She had been searching for God for years, but she had never found him. She had tried everything she could think of, but nothing had worked.
She opened her eyes and looked around the room. It was a small, dark room. The only light came from a single candle on the table in front of her. She looked at the candle and thought about how it was a symbol of hope. Even in the darkness, there was always hope.
She closed her eyes again and prayed. “God, I don’t know where you are, but I know that you are there. I am lost and alone, but I know that you can help me. Please show me the way.”
She opened her eyes and felt a sense of peace come over her. She knew that God was with her. She got up and walked to the window. She looked out at the night sky and saw the stars. She thought about how God had created the stars and the planets and the entire universe. She knew that if God could create all of that, he could surely help her find her way.
She turned away from the window and walked back to the table. She picked up the candle and held it in her hands. She thought about how the candle was a symbol of hope. She knew that even though she was lost, she had hope. She had hope that God would show her the way.
She put the candle back on the table and sat down. She closed her eyes and prayed again. “God, I am here. I am listening. Show me the way.”
She opened her eyes and waited. She waited for a sign from God. She waited for a moment of clarity. She waited for something to happen.
And then she heard it.
A whisper.
“I am here.”
The young woman smiled. She knew that God had heard her prayer. She knew that he was with her. She knew that he would show her the way.
She got up and walked out of the room. She knew that she was no longer lost. She knew that she had found the way.
This story is an inspiration to us all. It shows us that God is always with us. He is always listening. He is always there to help us. If we are lost, we can always find our way back to him.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 14:6
