What does it mean that God lightens our darkness?

Answered in 1 source

God lighting our darkness signifies His comforting presence and guidance in times of trouble.

The declaration 'the Lord will lighten my darkness' (2 Samuel 22:29) encapsulates the believer's assurance in God’s guidance during trying times. Believers often encounter seasons of despair and confusion; however, God's promise is that He will illuminate their path. This light is not simply for illumination but also brings comfort, helping believers to navigate through life’s trials. Just as David found solace in the Lord during dark moments, Christians are reminded that their faith can lead them through difficulties, knowing that divine encouragement and revelation are readily available to sustain them in their darkest hours. This reflection upon God as a source of light is vital for the believer's courage and perseverance.
