I am a huge music fan. Music is playing almost constantly during the day. I'm listening to a playlist on Spotify as I type this. I even had a blog for a time that was devoted to music. Music helps me process things. It is prayers and praises, heart cries and joy. Music can bring me out of a funk and help me focus on what is good when I get bogged down or distracted by other things. It is a big deal for me. I go through "favorite songs" fairly quickly. I really don't have just one favorite song (or even a top ten), but I usually have one or two for a time that I listen to a LOT! "Yes I Will" by Elevation Worship is one of those songs. "Rejoice always". Such is the command given by our God and I'm not the best at following it. When I'm struggling, or something or someone has hurt me, the last thing I feel like doing is praising and rejoicing. I've collected, through the years, a playlist of songs that direct me to praise, in the midst of struggle and pain. The chorus of this song says, Yes I will, lift You high in the lowest valley Yes I will, bless Your name Oh, yes I will, sing for joy when my heart is heavy For all my days, oh yes I will This song reminds me of who God is, what He's done, and why I will praise Him even when I don't feel like it. That's what music does for me. It helps me pray when I don't have words.
Look up the song. I hope it encourages you as well.
