distress and the darkness mentioned in this verse reminds us of the moments of the test that we can go through. However, even in these times of
dark anxiety , we are called to raise our eyes to the Lord, which is our light and our hope. As it is written in
Psalm 121: 1 , "I look up at the mountains ..." and in
Isaiah 41:10 , "Don't be afraid, because I am with you." That our faith remains firm, even in darkness.
