A Moment with Joni
Sing In The Dark
By Joni Eareckson Tada
Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell. Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.
Psalm 43:3-4

Whenever his spirits begin to sag, the psalmist always lifted his anguish in a song. Steeped in the rhythms of Israel’s songbook, the psalmist knew that his groaning should be sent Godward through a song of lament. At first, the writer is tormented in Psalm 43, feeling as though God has rejected him. But he counters these feelings with hope-filled words: “Send me your light and your faithful care…let them bring me…to the place where you dwell. Then…I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.” When you raise a praise song through your tears, you are standing in opposition to your unruly feelings, and you’re proclaiming that God is with you in your darkness, comforting you through sadness and working out his perfect will in your pain. Your most authentic songs of worship will always happen in the nighttime of your soul, so friend, get singing, and send it Godward.
