Day 28: Darkness Is My Only Companion

from Lyrics for His Life: Praying the Psalms with Jesus · host Lauren Honea, Scott Graham, Gerrit Dawson

Jesus’ descent to the realm of the dead on Holy Saturday assures us that he stays with us through the darkest passages of life and death. This event offers hope to those who have felt “darkness is my only companion.” Depression, grief, disassociation, paranoia and anxiety can all isolate us in hopelessness. That Jesus prays Psalm 88 as one of us, with us and for us, is like someone taking our hand in the dark to lead us gently back to light.
