"Found in the Hurt" by Presence Music Band: Finding Hope When Healing is Delayed


"Found in the Hurt" by Presence Music Band is a deeply moving song, especially when you know more about the story behind this song. The song was inspired by Leah Monson's own struggles with depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. It speaks to anyone who is wrestling with unanswered questions, faith, and healing. But most of all, this song offers hope, and reminds us that God's purpose often opens doors in ways that we don't immediately see or thinks was possible. 

Presence Music Band - Found in the HurtThe song itself is already beautiful, and if you get a chance, I encourage you to watch the video, because the video brings the song even more to life. Seeing the people in the video and briefly hearing what God did for them really touched my heart. We have a God of miracles and too often we just take that for granted! 

Leah opens the song by encouraging us to boldly pray and live out our faith. She emphasizes that it is our faith that God desires. And then comes the truth that we're not always willing to hear… Even when healing doesn't come right away (or in this life), there is still purpose in the pain, and there is a gift to be found inside the grief. Instead of passively waiting for some kind of miraculous cure, Leah encourages us to first turn to God's will. However difficult it may seem, we not only find His presence in the healing, but we also find it in the struggle. 

We may also find a miracle "in the hurt", because growth, grace, and understanding doesn't happen by escaping the hardship… it happens by walking through it with God. The song encourages us to also say "It is well," when life feels gray or when we don't know/understand the reasons. 

May this song remind you to walk together with God and trust the journey. Ask God to help you see the beauty in hardship. May the lyrics inspire you to hold on, to believe, and to embrace His plan through every season of pain and healing.

"I Love to Praise Your Name" by Chrystal: Worship That Survives the Storm

A declaration of consistent devotion and faithfulness to God (by Jasper Tan) Chrystal Williams-Alberty’s “I Love to Praise Your Name” is a beautiful and heartfelt contemporary praise and worship song. The song focuses on our devotion and adoration to our God. The lyrics are simple but deep in expression.

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...

"No One Like You Jesus" by Morgan Starner: Why Only Jesus Can Carry Your Burdens

Who really deserves your loudest praise? “No One Like You Jesus” by Morgan Starner didn’t start in a studio. It started as a voice memo, hummed late at night, half-formed and unfinished. Morgan took that fragile melody into the studio and built it up, layer by layer, until it held over 100 stacked vocals. The result sounds like a celebration. Bright, rhythmic, and impossible to sit still while listening. That’s the point of this song… Gospel-pop with a modern pulse, made to move bodies and hearts at the same time.  Listen to the bridge, and you’ll hear a question underneath the beat: “Who else gonna take my burdens? Who else gonna get me through?” Morgan answers the question without hesitation. “No one else but You.”   Scripture asks the same question, thousands of years earlier. Here is how Moses responded after crossing the Red Sea: “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11, ESV...
