on a real note…
a few weeks ago i was in a really bad spot. i was in constant anxiety and an episode of depression. i was not happy. i was challenged to 30 days of nothing but christian music and that’s what i have been doing. i also decided that instead of worrying i need to trust in the lord focus on the now. and what he has planned for me
since giving up worldly music i have noticed an increase in my mood,my actions toward other people and overall just serving the lord better.
now when i’m anxious or getting down instead of just completely shutting down i pray and recite psalm 23 which says
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake,
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me." Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
this is what calms me and comforts me. the lord. there is nothing in this world for me. i wanted to share this for anyone who was struggling or going through any thing at all. trust in the lord for he will help you find joy.
in the presence of the lord there is joy everlasting.
comment ways i can pray for you or dm me!!
In today's fast-paced world, mental health issues such as anxiety and depression are becoming increasingly common. Many individuals, like myself, seek solace and healing through faith and spiritual practices. Music, particularly Christian music, can play a vital role in this journey. It offers not just a source of comfort, but also aligns our thoughts with positivity and reinforces our trust in a higher power. Engaging in spiritual practices can help diminish feelings of isolation and despair, reminding us of our connection to the divine. In the process of focusing on faith-based music for 30 days, I found it essential to incorporate prayer and scripture into my daily routine. Verses like Psalm 23 serve as powerful reminders of God's comfort and guidance. By meditating on these words, I shifted my perspective from worry to trust, enhancing my mental well-being. This journey illustrates the potential benefits of integrating faith and music into personal healing. Not only does it foster emotional upliftment, but it also encourages community support, as we can share our struggles and prayers with others. If you are facing similar challenges, I invite you to explore this approach—embracing uplifting music and engaging in focused prayer may lead you to unexpected joy and peace in your life.
