Sometimes in life we become so clouded by pain, we find ourselves drowning in sorrow, so much that even prayer or a chat with a friend is not an option. We want to express how we feel, yet we are so angry because we do not understand why “we are going through such tribulations”, “why won’t the pain go away”, “what have we done to deserve all this?”
I have found that keeping a song in my heart brings so much healing to my soul in times of undescribable pain. Because there is a song for almost every emotion; when life throws it’s hardest blows at me, with tears in my eyes and a shaky voivce; I will praise the Lord or lay my complains at His feet- for I know the morning will come and He will release the breakthrough for me.
When a loved one is in pain and I find no words of comfort for them; when there is no explanation good enough for their pain, and my presence seems to not make a difference; I sing a song in my heart and ask the Lord to come through for me.
There is power in a song. The power comes not only from the beats or rhythm of the song (for at times we get those wrong, or those of us wh are vocally wounded make it unbearable to listen); but from the picture that comes to mind when a song of victory is sang, from the release of spiritual chains that had one bound; more so from the reassurance of the mighy words in a song.
Though we walk and stumble along the way, though the devil may try to take our hope and shatter our dreams; he cannot steal our song... for it is kept in the heart.
