When we come to Him in worship with our fears, He hears our cries and does work in our lives.At the start of 2020, nobody would have suspected that our world would have been so much different because of the onslaught of COVID-19. In Psalm 105:2 it says “Sing to him, sing praises to him tell of all his wondrous works!” God wants us to come before Him in worship, no matter how we are feeling. Next time you feel consumed by anxiety and worry, use these songs as a tool. I promise this song will make you want to sing along at the top of your lungs.
The last song on this list is… Cover the Earth by Kari Jobe and her husband, Cody Carnes. BUT I’m breaking the rules and giving you ONE more. “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.”īONUS! Choosing only 20 songs is impossible because there are SO many great songs out there that could easily make this list. No Longer Slaves – Jonathan David and Melissa Helser, Bethel Music “Hold on, don’t let go, just take one step closer, put one foot in front of the other, you’ll get through this, just follow the light in the darkness, you’re gonna be ok” I will send out an army to find you in the middle of the darkest night, it’s true, I will rescue you.” “I hear you whisper underneath your breath, I hear your SOS, your SOS. “You’re my courage when I worry in the dead of night, You’re my strength ’cause I’m not strong enough to win this fight, You are greater than the battle raging in my mind, I will trust You, Lord, I will fear no more”
“Peace be still, you are here so it is well, even when my eyes can’t see, I will trust the voice that speaks!” “God only knows what you’ve been through, God only knows what they say about you, God only knows the real you, but there’s a kind of love that God only knows!” “Waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness, my God, that is who you are.” “Every step I take, always by my side, I am yours, you are mine, be the Lord of my life.” “I will be the first to say I’m far from perfect, but grace was made for those who don’t deserve it” “Oh you don’t have to look no farther, He’s the hope that you need, oh if your sails are torn and tattered, and the storm just won’t cease, take hold of the hand of the Saviour, He’s the anchor of peace.” Check your shame at the door cause it ain’t welcome anymore!” “Love is breaking through when the Father’s in the room! Lay your burdens down, here in the Father’s house. “So I’m thankful for the scars, cause without them I wouldn’t know your heart, and I know they’ll always tell of who you are, so forever I am thankful for the scars.” “Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, oh, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine, I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away, oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God” “And every tear I’ve cried, You hold in your hand, You never left my side, and though my heart is torn, I will praise you in this storm.” Praise You Through the Storm – Casting Crowns
We will stand in awe of the one who breaks the chains. “We will fix our eyes on the one who overcame. “My fear doesn’t stand a chance when I stand in your love” “In the eye of the storm, You remain in control, in the middle of the war, You guard my soul, You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn, Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm.” “You’ll never stop me, I’m a warrior, when I fall down I’ll get stronger, faith is my shield, your love is the armor.” I hope you can use these as a tool to calm your anxiety and focus on Jesus. One of my favorite ways to tackle anxiety in my own life is through worship music– which is perfect since I work for a Christian radio station! So, here is a list of 20 worship songs that have helped me turn my eyes to Jesus and brought me so much peace when I have been in my darkest moments. It is something that a lot of people face, and if you struggle with it, remember you’re not alone! The Bible discusses the topic of fear and anxiety over 500 times! That must mean that this is an important thing to talk about… right? Anxiety is one of the top three biggest mental struggles in North America.
