"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 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....

“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...

"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" by Robby Robinson & Andrea Hammond: Stand Firm in His Victory

What fortress stands when everything else shakes? Martin Luther wrote “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” in a time of upheaval. Now Robby Robinson and Andrea Hammond have given this hymn a fresh voice, released just in time for Reformation Week. The arrangement begins softly with piano and a single violin. Then Andrea sings, and it builds into a joyful, uplifting orchestral arrangement with layered strings, piano, and Andrea’s soaring violin. That journey mirrors the faith that we all may find in the lyrics. “A mighty fortress is our God, a sword and shield victorious.” The song doesn’t start loud. It starts with trust, and trust in God is where strength begins. Where do you run when the pressure rises? Many of us reach for busyness, control, or even worry. They crumble. The hymn points to something much more sturdy: “He breaks the cruel oppressor’s rod and wins salvation glorious.” Whatever is binding you has already met its match… in God. Psalm 46:1 says it plainly: “God is our refuge ...
