Music as Prayer

How do we know when we are doing what God would have us do? A few weeks ago, I blogged about discernment, one of several methods to pray as a group.

Another way that God speaks to us, or at least to me, is through music. This isn’t surprising since I sing in my church choir but this anthem, especially the chorus, has stuck with me this week. I’ve sampled just the final chorus for you all to hear.

Sometimes a song will stick with you because the tune is catchy. But other times it sticks with you because it was what you need to hear. In this case, it is a prayer for difficult times.

Be with me, Lord. When I’m in trouble and I don’t know what to do, be with me, Lord.

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for me and the members of my home church. Your prayers and God’s Blessings have shone on us throughout this week.

The way ahead will not be easy but we will be traveling with Him in song and in prayer and with each other!
