Finding God’s Light in Dark Times

Fireflies

The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

Which is why author and humorist Patsy Clairmont doubted God was speaking to her when He asked her to share Genesis 1:3, “Let there be light,” with her friend who was sick with cancer.

Patsy knows how dark life can be. She has lived through some difficult seasons herself. In fact, for many years she suffered such crippling anxiety that she feared leaving her house, and some days she couldn’t even get out of bed.

Still, “let there be light” seemed completely irrelevant to her friend’s situation, and she was reluctant to share it with her friend.

Fortunately, she did, and a few days later, Patsy’s friend called with a report from her doctor. He had told her, “When I am looking at your bone scan, what I am searching for are flashes of light because everywhere there’s a flash of light, your antibodies are killing the cancer.”

On our Focus on the Family Broadcast “Finding God’s Light in Dark Times,” Patsy Clairmont offers words of encouragement for anyone struggling through difficult trials. Don’t miss Patsy’s biblical wisdom – with a big dose of humor – on your local radio station, online, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or on our free phone app.

If you are hurting, please give us a call. We welcome the opportunity to hear your concerns, pray with you over the phone, and have a Counselor give you a call back if needed. This is a free service we provide, so that we can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you in your time of need. Give Focus on the Family a call at 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459).

I’d also like to offer you Patsy’s book Catching Fireflies: Teaching Your Heart to See God’s Light Everywhere for a gift of any amount. Visit our website. If you can’t afford it, we’ll find a way to get it to you.
