Why am I afraid of the dark?

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

This verse is printed here. Compare the passage in NIV.

The psalmist calls God his light. Fear of darkness can be intense; make your surroundings safe, seek comfort and get help if fear keeps disrupting your life.
