'I See Angels' by Doug Deforest: Encounter Hope in the Middle of Darkness


On occasion, you may feel like you're emotionally in a dark place and the outlook is quite hopeless. If that's where you're currently at, then Doug Deforest's 'I See Angels' is most likely a song for you. The song was born during a time of struggling with depression, and it literally came to Doug in the middle of the night, when everything seemed to fail. It isn't uncommon that when we're more or less at rock bottom, it's God's messages that come to us the loudest. 

Doug Deforest - I See AngelsIn "I See Angels," you could be hearing an echo of your own challenges. The lyrics not only describe what it's like to be engulfed in gloom; they also show that there is hope around you, even when you are not yet capable of seeing it. There are angels around us that point us towards God's love and remind us that we're never really alone. 

The lyrics whispers a powerful truth: no matter how massive the waves are, there is always a hand that is reaching out to us in our storms. As Christians, we're reminded that some of the most dramatic rescues aren't from physical danger, but from the depths of our own despair. Doug's angels remind us that God's helpers come in many forms, that it is God's comfort that wraps around us even in our bleakest moments, and that persistence in faith can turn the tide. 

So press play and let "I See Angels" fill the room. Let it be your companion on your journey and a remind you that when life gets rough, we have unseen angels ready to cheer us on and show us the way forward.

(Related scripture: Psalm 91:11-12; Hebrews 1:14; 2 Kings 6:17)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...
