Though My Heart is Torn, I'll Praise You in This Storm

One of the only things that makes me feel happy right now is listening to Christian music. It really can uplift your soul. The song that I am most drawn to is "Praise You in This Storm" by Casting Crowns. I feel like it's the song of my current life. I'm unimaginably upset and bitter about what's happening (or not happening) in my life and I have a difficult time understanding why God isn't answering my prayers. Just like in the song I feel like it keeps raining and I'm not sure why he hasn't stepped in and saved the day. Well as the song also says, he's never left my side, he's right there ready to battle the storm with me if I open my heart and let him. The dark phases of our life are what makes us stronger in the end and although its hard for us understand why he takes things away or leaves our prayers unanswered, he is God and has a master plan. Another favorite song of mine is "Your Hands" by JJ Heller. It helps to remind me that I shouldn't be praying for God to change my life, I should be praying for the widsom and guidance to follow his path and allow him to make a change through me, not for me.

If you ever have free time or are feeling depressed, I would hightly recommend listening to these two songs. They might change your outlook on life or at least make you feel slightly better.
