"Why Can’t I Believe" by H.U.G.E.: Help Me Overcome Unbelief


H.U.G.E.'s "Why Can't I Believe" is a reflective gospel visual that explores the struggle between doubt and faith. It feels like an honest journal entry put to music. The artist knows that God stays with us to the end, and His power is unlimited. But there is a world of difference between clear promises and a shaky heart. 

H.U.G.E. - Why Can't I BelieveThe lyrics keep circling one honest question that will be all too familiar for most listeners… "why can't I believe what God says He will do?" This question turns doubt into prayer, not shame. Instead of pretending that everything's fine, the song points at some of the real culprits: negative self-talk, anxiety that tightens our chest, and this impatience inside us that wants to get answers right now. Familiar, isn't it? We understand the theory, but in real life, we have trouble putting it into practice. 

The lyrics continue about going through more than a few stumbles, and acknowledge that even when our faith feels fragile, we are being carried. The song keeps pointing us back to God's steady presence, especially when life doesn't seem to cooperate. 

So, how do we put this into practice? Speak life, reject the spiral, and ask for His help to trust again. Whenever we question our faith, it can become a new doorway. So, take a breath, open Scripture, and remember our story is never finished. Faith grows while you keep showing up. So, go ahead and press play. Let "Why Can't I Believe" coach your courage one refrain at a time.

(Related scripture: Hebrews 13:5; Mark 9:24; Philippians 4:6)

'Fighting With My Demons' by Joe Nester: Encapsulating the Resilient Battle of Faith

Josephine Grace - Higher Than the Heavens (CCM)

Josephine Grace has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Higher Than the Heavens. Josephine shared her story behind this song:  Some songs come quickly, some come slowly. This one was definitely the latter! It was way back in 2011 when I made a home demo of the first version of this song - it was moodier with completely different chords, melody and lyrics - and then it sat on the shelf (or more literally, on an external hard drive full of archived files) until the back end of last year. I’ve done some studying online with Hillsong College this past year and a half and at some point I’d explored what being wholehearted towards God means. Bits of the old song (it was called ‘I Will’ at that point), written quite directly from Psalm 108, started coming back to me beginning with Psalm 108:1 (NIV) “My heart, O God, is steadfast”.  I followed the melody in my mind to the chorus based on Psalm 108:4 (NIV) “For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your fa...
