The songs I listen to when I am feeling down Blog 28 Date:February 26, 2022 Time : 4:46pm In my downtime, I usually listen to Church songs or worship songs. I am already a fan of Church songs since I was in high school. I even sing church songs when I had my 1st born. Especially when I let her sleep. However, I got influenced by listening to Christian songs because of my ex-boyfriend. He loves to listen to Casting Crowns songs. He shared with me his favorite Christian songs and when I have begun to listen to all the songs he loves, I slowly love to listen to them. I love how each word from the songs suits me. I can reflect on myself in every song. So I think we meet people for a reason and I am thankful that God let me meet that ex-boyfriend of mine.

So here is the list of the songs I love to listen to when I am feeling down. If you want to hear the songs just click the given songs below.

Especially the line  Not because of who I am But because of what You've done Not because of what I've done But because of who You are **The Voice of Truth** The lyrics of the song will remind you that no matter what happens God is there, that every struggle you are facing He is always there. **I Know You're There** This song reminds me that I know that God is always there. That He is the air I breathe and He is always there to listen. Whenever I need him He is just there. **Listen To Our hearts** So if You listen to my heart Every beat will say Thank You for the Life Thank You for the Truth Thank You for the Way This line says it all. I am so thankful to God for the life, the truth, and the way He helps me in every way. In Every problem, I encounter in my life. **Grace** I ask you, "How many times will you pick me up When I keep on letting you down?" And each time I will fall short of Your glory How far will forgiveness abound? And You answer, "My child, I love you And as long as you're seeking My face You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace" Honestly, I heard this song for the first time just exactly like I am laboring to my second child. It was June 25, 2020. I was teary-eyed when I heard this song. As a sinner, yeah I do a lot of mistakes in my life, like one of them is punishable by God's law.  I was so touched by the line "How far will forgiveness abound? And you answer, "My child, I love you. I was so emotional that time knowing that God still forgives me for everything that I've done and I always feel how much He love me. **Blessings** I came to know this song first before the "Grace" song as they have the same singer Laura Story. 'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops What if Your healing comes through tears What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise Those lines are so perfect to describe that even if we are in pain those are still blessings from God, cause through that pain God strengthen our faith, our belief in God. Just like whenever I get delayed from going to work I see it as God's sign to protect me from any harm. And Yes for me crying is my of healing from the pain that I feel. After crying I feel better. **The Hurt and The Healer** I'm alive Even though a part of me has died You take my heart and breathe it back to life I fall into Your arms open wide When the hurt and the healer collide  Like I am dying not the literal dying but loss of hope. God is always been there to remind me that everything will be okay and everything happens for a reason. **You are Near** Yahweh, I know you are near Standing always at my side You guard me from the foe And you lead me in ways everlasting I honestly love this song because of its tone. It just so relaxing to listen until I came to realize and understand its lyrics. God is always there to guide me, protect me from any danger, and lead me to the right path. I use to sing this song when I let my daughter sleep when she was still a baby. Now that she's grown up she also loves to sing all the songs that I love to listen to. **Lift Up Your Hands** Life is not all that bad, my friends, hmm If you believe in yourself If you believe there's Someone Who walks through life without you You'll never be alone Just learn to reach out, And open your heart Lift up your hands to God, And He'll show you the way. Like yeah, life is not all that bad. Maybe just a chapter of my life. And because of God, I believe in myself that I can do anything. God is there to show me the right way. **Siya** The song is about life is meaningful. That even if sometimes we feel that our life has no direction, we know that God is there to always guide us. That God is everything.

My life is far away from being perfect. I made a lot of mistakes in life and I am just so thankful that God never leaves me. To be honest I am not a religious person. I don't even remember when was the last time I go to church but don't get me wrong I do believe in God and his power. I always believe in his miracle. God is my best friend. Whenever I feel down I always talk to God. Some people may wonder how I manage to surpass all the struggles I've been through and I told him because I have God. Every time I have a problem I just think of it as a test from God. Pains and struggles are the reason why I am what I am today. Why I am strong? Because I already experienced the toughest trials in life. **I never ask God to lessen my burdens in life but instead, I ask him to give me more strength so I can overcome all the trials I've been through.** **Final Thoughts** As they say, **it's not the load that matters, it's how you carry them**. I always believe that everything happens for a reason. It might be hard for us to understand his reason but I always believe that God's plan is the best.
