Sing Your Way Through the Day – Jane H. Young
What do you do when you find yourself in a depressed mood, feeling like you have no help, no hope, and no way out? Maybe we should do as David did – sing. David’s psalms show how a man of God prays during times of hardship, loss, joy, and fear through songs.
“The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.” Psalms 42:8 NASB
“I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.” Psalms 104:33 NASB
Choose to sing unto the Lord a new song and reflect upon the good things He has done, and as you do your mind will be renewed. Singing helps us repeat thoughts of God, so His word can dwell in us, and the overflow will be a witness of God’s love to those around us.
“Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.” Colossians 3:16 NASB
Your mind might be struggling with negative thoughts and doubts, but that’s all the more reason to sing and to reflect upon the good things God has done. Singing songs of praise will help renew your mind and put joy back in your life.
“Because He Lives” by the Gather's: God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus; He came to love, heal and forgive; He lived and died to buy my pardon, An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives! Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, All fear is gone. Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living just because He lives.”
This is just one of 1000’s of beautiful worship songs. Find a few of your favorites and sing when you feel down, or you find yourself complaining, or you’re just having a bad day— SING!!
