God uses music to reach us in times of need, doesn’t He?
There must be hundreds of times a God-inspired song touched my heart and helped me see my Heavenly Father even in the darkness.
Here I share 5 I’m thankful for since they have blessed me much:

4. EVEN WHEN IT HURTS by HILLSONG UNITED
A great song to admit your pain and to invite Him in as you keep prasing His name in spite of everything.

Take this ocean tears
Hold me through the trial
Come like hope again»
Yes, come!
