Life’s journey is never without its share of hard times, and sometimes, the weight of pain and adversity can make us question our very existence. But what if, in those moments of struggle, we viewed our challenges not as predictions of destruction but as indications of our preparation for something brighter?
For me, in moments of overwhelming distress, I’ve found refuge in the soothing embrace of music. Instead of grumbling, worrying endlessly, or dwelling on unnecessary thoughts, I turn to the therapeutic power of melodies and lyrics that resonate with the soul.
One verse from the book of Psalms that encapsulates this sentiment beautifully is Psalms 34:1: “I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” I’ve curated a selection of songs from my personal playlist. These songs have helped me through the most challenging of times, serving as a constant reminder of God’s unwavering love.
