Darkness is my closest friend (Psalm 88:18; NLT).
Clouds and thick darkness surround him (Psalm 97:2; NIV).
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me (Psalm 23:4; NLT).
When words,
And thoughts,
And prayers
Are stripped away,
Nothing remains
But darkness, Lord,
And you.
