SINGING helps me feel close to God
Singing works two ways. It can be an overflow of your inner spirit. When you are full of love and joy, you just can’t help but explode in song. Or singing can be something you choose to do when you feel down or afraid. A praise song can change your mood. It can pump you up and make you courageous! Either way, God wants you to sing!
Here’s what He has to say about singing. SING A NEW SONG TO THE LORD! LET THE WHOLE EARTH SING TO THE LORD! SING TO THE LORD; PRAISE HIS NAME. EACH DAY PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS THAT HE SAVES. PUBLISH HIS GLORIOUS DEEDS AMONG THE NATIONS. TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE AMAZING THINGS HE DOES. GREAT IS THE LORD! HE IS MOST WORTHY OF PRAISE!
Here is a prayer you can pray. =
Almighty Creator,
When I sing, my troubles fade away. When I sing, my soul and body get so in tune with You, I feel Your presence. It’s almost like You are reaching down from heaven and giving me a great big hug. Give me a song today that is full of You, Lord. I want to be where You are! I want to tell the world how great You are!
