"Good Bad Day" by Jay Davids: Turning Tough Days Into Worship


"Good Bad Day" by Jay Davids is a great song that reminds us that we already have the power to choose joy and praise, no matter what life throws our way. This power to choose is a freedom that nobody can take away from you, unless you let them. As Jay puts it, "Before you get out of bed, you have to choose what this day is going to be for you." The song opens with lines like "Woke up on the wrong side of the bed," but quickly shifts the focus, instead of letting tough circumstances define your day, Jay sings, "I'm gonna set my mind on You."

Jay Davids - Good Bad DayWhat makes it easier for us to shift our focus to joy and praise is the fact that God is on our side! Jay's song encourages us to focus on God's goodness, even when things feel chaotic--"You are good all the time / When it rains, when the sun shines." Whether your day is a good day or a bad one, the message is clear: He remains constant, and every moment in our lives offers us an opportunity to celebrate His name.

Jay's goal with this song? To create music that lifts our spirits and pushes us through hard times, and "Good Bad Day" does just that. May this song help to brighten your day and refocus your heart. Go ahead and press play-this might just become your new go-to song to start your day!

(Related scripture: Psalm 118:24; James 1:17; Isaiah 26:3)

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Oceans (Hillsong Cover)" by Tiffany Ford - Stepping into the Unknown with Faith

Life can at times feel like a stormy sea! Do you recognize that feeling? Tiffany Ford does, and Oceans by Hillsong is one of her 'go-to' songs for those rough times in life. She released a beautiful cover of Oceans, and shared how faith became her anchor when her life seemed so overwhelming. "Seemed" is the key word here, because in her moments of doubt and fear she discovered that God was meeting her exactly where she stood — by her side as she stood on shaky ground or in deep waters.  Oceans is a favorite for many readers, a song that describes the tension we feel between trust and uncertainty: "You call me out upon the waters / The great unknown where feet may fail." It's a beautiful invitation to step out of your comfort zone, even when it feels quite risky. With this cover, Tiffany is reminding us (and herself) that He is there when we get of our comfort zone. We can count on Him being there to guide us —  "Your sovereign hand will be my guide...
