Verses for Dark Days

Even the darkness isn't dark to God.

A Bible affirmation for dark days, rooted in Psalm 139:11-12.

If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me, and the light become night around me” - even the darkness is not dark to You, but the night shines like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

Psalm 139:11-12 · BSB

Reflection

David imagines hiding in the dark, and realizes God sees just as clearly there as in daylight. Depression can feel like a darkness no one can reach. God isn't blinded by it. He sees you there.

A prayer

Lord, even my darkness isn't dark to You. Find me here and stay with me.
