If you’re looking for Bible verses about light in the darkness, chances are you’re going through a tough time. I know some of you are suffering in silence, in obscurity, ostracized, and overwhelmed by your burdens. Maybe you have received a scary diagnosis, experienced loss or trauma, or have depression or another chronic illness that drains you and drags you down into the darkness. I can definitely relate.
I’ve experienced darkness so thick I couldn’t see anything good. I almost completely lost all hope. But God used His word to bring light into my darkness and draw me out of the deep pit of despair. God’s word is truly a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. When we are following Jesus, by believing and obeying God’s word, we will walk in the light and lead others to the light of Jesus as well.
