'Strength Through the Tears' by Krystal Dawn Land - Finding Hope in God's Strength


Krystal Dawn Land's song 'Strength Through the Tears' is inspired by Psalm 56:8, where it says, 'You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.' 

Krystal Dawn Land - Strength Through the TearsKrystal shares from her own experiences that God sees every tear, and even more important, He cares deeply about us as we go through life's ups and downs. We're especially vulnerable when we're going through difficult times, because that's when it's easy to drift away from God's path. Krystal's solution is to call out to the Lord to help her find the strength she needs in Him. She sings, 'I've been walking this road for so long, carrying such a heavy load, trying to do it on my own,' echoing what is probably one of our biggest weaknesses… an ego that says 'We can do it', altogether skipping the part where we should be saying, 'We can do it with your help!' 

Krystal beautifully directs our focus back to the peace and strength that we can only find in God's embrace, 'Through the cries, through the tears, I find strength even when my heart feels fear. In Your arms, I find peace.' Even when we feel that we are drowning in fear and darkness, it is God who can give us strength… if you let God help you and take the lead. 

If you've feeling alone or overwhelmed, give this song a listen. May 'Strength Through the Tears' encourage you to say, 'God, give me strength', stay close Him, trust His plan, and lean into His strength. Experience the promise that God is right there for you, offering you His peace and strength.

(Related scripture: Psalm 56:8; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Corinthians 12:9)

"Meet Me in the Valley" by Tasha Layton: God in the Low Places

We've all experienced times in our lives when everything feels impossible, and it feels like God is nowhere near. Tasha Layton sings about that very struggle in her song, "Meet Me in the Valley." Tasha calls out those painful moments and places them in the context of promises that you can read in Psalm 23. God promises that goodness and mercy will follow us, even through life's darkest seasons.  Tasha shared the main takeaway of this song on her Instagram account: "You are not forgotten. You are not alone. God meets you right where you are."   We often aren't able to recognize His grace until we're desperately needing it, and honestly, we often don't appreciate what we have (and what He has given us) until everything falls apart. But instead of dwelling in despair, Tasha reminds us to look upwards, and ask for His help: "In the middle of the war // Tell me that I'll make it // When I'm not sure // You'll be faithful." We...

"Who Am I" by Julia Igwe: Finding our identity in God

(by Jasper Tan) Julia Igwe’s latest single, “Who Am I,” is a song that seeks to understand God’s amazing love for us, that even if we don’t deserve it, He still gives it freely. That by offering His life for us, we are saved from our sins. It is because of this that we are sometimes left to ask ourselves if indeed we are deserving of God’s gift of salvation. We are left in awe upon realizing that even if we don’t earn it all, God still chooses to simply love us with all His heart (and even at the cost of His life). God’s grace is a free gift from Him, and as our way of reciprocating His love, we give our lives fully to Him, embracing our identity in Him and resting in the truth that we belong to Him and our God loves us so. As Julia shares, “This song is a great reminder to me that the greatest thing I can do in life is be fully His and be fully surrendered to Jesus. Everything else comes second!” Julia also further shares that one of the biggest questions that she had after being save...
