the panic of being asked a simple question like 'what do you want for dinner?' and feeling your mind go completely blank because you have no internal compass left

Trusting the Voice in the Dark

The question lands like a stone in a dry well. 'What do you want?' and the silence that follows is not peace—it is panic.

Your mind goes blank because the compass you used to navigate the world has shattered. You are standing in the dark with no north, no south, no preference left to call your own.

But listen closely. The light does not ask you to manufacture an answer from the void.

It does not require you to know your way before you can take a step. There is a presence that knows what you need before you can name it.

A voice that says, 'I am with you always,' not to demand a decision, but to carry the weight of the choosing for you tonight. You do not have to find your voice in the dark.

You only have to trust the One who is speaking.
