"Be All I Need" by Adam & Ali Curry: Praying Through the Storm


Adam and Ali Curry - Be All I Need

"Be All I Need" by Adam and Ali Curry is essentially a prayer that came from a season where they were dealing with immense grief. Adam and Ali needed a way to express their sorrow and grief to the Lord, and ask Him to step into their lives as comforter and provider.

The lyrics are hopeful: “When I wake // You are there // To give me strength // When I can’t bear.” The chorus, “Be all I need,” reminds us that we can trust God to provide. “Let your Word // Be enough” and “Don’t hide your face // Don’t turn from me,” highlighting our longing to see God’s hand touch our lives. The lyrics remind us of the “goodness and mercy” that we can read about in Psalm 23 and how real it is in our pain.

The song isn’t just a lament; sure, there is room to share our sorrow and grief with God, but more important, it's also about looking forward, knowing that faith grows when we admit that we need God’s hand to hold ours.

This song invites us to acknowledge our difficulties and deliberately engage with them, instead of trying to avoid, numb, or even bypass our pain. It's there, it's real, and the best way forward is to rely on faith to become curious and compassionate and see these challenges as opportunities to deepen our relationship with God. Trust God to be the anchor when everything else feels unstable. It's in His peace that we can see the situation with more clarity and may discover new ways to respond.

Go ahead and give this song a listen, especially if your heart is aching and you need confirmation that God is listening. May you find peace in the same God to whom we may whisper, “Surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me.”

(Related scripture: Isaiah 40:29-31; Philippians 4:19; Psalm 23:6)

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Thank God I’m Saved" by Chad Chaney: A Joyful Anthem for Life’s Valleys

Is the valley you’re in really permanent? Chad Chaney spent years as an actor in Hollywood, building his own kingdom. Then God called him to build a different one. In a quiet moment, one line landed: “Even when I’m in the valley, I won’t stay for long.” He wrote an entire song around it, “Thank God I’m Saved”. You may know that valley. Loneliness. Worry about next year. A voice that whispers that you’re worthless. Chad names those feelings in his lyrics: “Even when I’m feeling broken, You will make me whole.” He never pretends the valley isn’t real. He just refuses to unpack his bags there. Scripture sounds the same note. “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Psalm 30:5). David wrote those words after God lifted him out of a dark season. The night was real. So was the morning, and David turned that into a song. What are you carrying around today that is blocking your joy? Hand it over to God. Chad says that God has brought him and his family out of seemi...

"I Will Rejoice" by Maria Segerholm: Thankful for the Sunshine and the Rain

Joy is a choice you can make today. “I Will Rejoice” by Maria Segerholm is a song of joy and praise, and her message is that joy is a choice despite the challenges we face. Maria has been called a happy person since she was a little girl. The unexpected happened, the trials came. Seasons arrived when her joy faded, and she says the enemy worked hard to steal her joy. Does that sound familiar? Those seasons didn’t last. Over the past few years, God has taught Maria what it means to rejoice in Him at all times, and this song, “I Will Rejoice”, grew from that lesson. Listen to how she sings it. Clouds try to block her light, yet she won’t stay down. Pain tries to break her praise, so she sings His Name. Fear shakes her soul, and she gives thanks “cause I know You’re good.” Notice the words that Maria uses: Clouds, pain, fear, and noise… They all “try,” but none of them win. Joy here is a choice that she makes again and again, long before her feelings catch up. The bridge pushes further....
