My brother-in-law says face the ‘light’ not the darkness.  It is too easy to get lost in the darkness.  It envelopes us, discourages us.  The devil does exist.  And he likes keeping us in the darkness.  We lose our way, our focus so face the light.  Focus on the truth, which is always found in the light.  We know what side is going to win in the end.  The devil uses his darkness to deceive us.  The bible says and this is a paraphrase, center on the good that is out there.  And focus on that.  Don’t get lost in the darkness.  Focus on the light.  He will show you the way.  And direct your path.
