Hey friends-
I don’t know what you’re going through today,
but I DO know a trick that helps me, no matter what I’m going through. And I’d love to share it with you!
When I was pregnant with our rainbow baby after having lost 5 babies, I r•e•l•i•e•d on praise music like never before ✝️ 🎧 🎶 to help me get through!
I listened to it morning, noon, and night to drown out all the doubts and thoughts of fear that tried to constantly bombard my mind.
The enemy always seeks to kill, steal, and destroy-
not just pregnancies,
but also the other good plans that God has for us.
He wants us to worry,
he wants to kill our joy,
steal our peace,
destroy our sense of security.
But in the presence of God,
we can trade-
worry for worship;
mourning for joy;
panicky feelings for supernatural peace;
insecurity for HIS security.
We enter into His presence through Thanksgiving and praise, and one of the best ways to foster praise when you don’t feel like praising is to turn on praise music and begin singing the words out loud.
This is one way to make our feelings follow our faith, instead of allowing our faith to be derailed or suffocated by those feelings.
We don’t have to feel guilty for our feelings- they’re natural. But we don’t have to stay stuck in them either! We don’t have to allow them to steal from us, or let them continue to make us feel as if they’re killing us.
We can refuse to let doubts linger in our mind,
and one way to do this is by crowding our mind space with POSITIVE, FAITH-FILLED words, and praise music is a great place to fill up with those!
Praise music can be uplifting!
Empowering!
Emboldening!
Peace-bringing!
Are you struggling today?
Get your praise on!
Blare “believing music” in your home.
“Conceal carry”-
stick AirPods in your ears and think of yourself with your ears plugged in this way, so you cannot hear the enemy’s lies.
As I was sitting in worship at church this last Sunday, listening to “Raise a Hallelujah” I was reminded of the power of praise music once again with the lyrics that reminded me “my weapon is a melody!” 🎶
Today I wanted to “arm” someone else with this!
One of your best weapons is a melody!
Choose your weapons (the music you’re listening to) wisely, and carry them with you wherever you go!
