When Darkness Feels Too Close.

Psalm 139 does not deny the dark. It says the dark is not dark to God, and you are not hidden from him.

Scripture · Source
If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me. The light around me will be night," even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day. The darkness is like light to you.
Psalm 139:11-12 · Word of God
For someone afraid in the dark

Let this find them there.

If someone feels lost in it, send them a little light from Psalm 139.

Psalm 139 lets you say the honest thing: surely the darkness will overwhelm me. It does not ask you to pretend the night feels small.

But it answers fear with a deeper truth. Darkness does not hide you from God. What you cannot see through is still clear to him.
