An Encouragement Playlist or CD
Do you have iTunes or a similar program where you can design your own playlist of favorite songs?
Something that I did while I was sick was to put together a playlist of songs that encouraged me. On days when I thought I was not sure I make it through, I’d play this list or CD that I made from it, and be encouraged that I was not the only one and that God knew.
As a musician, music speaks to my heart and soul very easily. It can calm me and motivate me very easily. Even if you are not a musician, I think music speaks to everyone. God, as the Creator of everything, created music!
Here are a list of songs I find very encouraging:
- Praise You in the Storm by Casting Crowns
- Cry Out to Jesus by Third Day
- If You Want Me To by Ginny Owens
- It Is Well – (I love the version sung by Shane and Shane
- Be Near by Shane and Shane
- Strong Tower by Kutless
- Never Alone by Barlow Girl
- Breathe on Me by Todd Fields, and Christy & Nathan Nockels
There is another by Bethany Dillon but I cannot think of the title. What are some of your favorite songs that encourage you when you are down? What music do you play?
Blessed be your Name (no idea who sings it).. I am particularly encouraged by the verse that contains “And blessed be your name on the road marked with suffering, though there’s pain in the offering, blessed be your name.”
