Soft illumination breaks through the shifting sky, touching the quiet water with a sense of guidance and calm. This painting draws its inspiration from the beloved hymn Lead, Kindly Light, which speaks of moving forward one step at a time, trusting that God will light the way even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

Here, the gentle glow suggests that kind of spiritual leading—subtle, steady, and sufficient for the moment we are in. The peaceful water and the opening in the clouds echo the promise that divine help often arrives quietly, just enough to help us take the next step in faith.
