Mike:

The "little light" for you I do not know ...Only you will know---and it will come!

To me 'little light" in times of discouragement and waiting is like a friend. It is not what the friend says or even what they do. It is just their presence. To me I have found that no praying often means "loss" of God's presence--at least the feeling of that presence!! And, that is darkness to me and I do not like that....

I believe it was Brother Lawrence who said, "Prayer is simply experiencing the presence of God." If he is right, the loss you had is certainly real, but not worth the loss of the presence of God in your daily life....Blessings....
