This was our cantata service, so we were singing our hearts out. Songs about praise and trust and believing that God’s got us even when things are scary. Music does something words alone can’t do. It gets into you differently. It reminds you of truth you already know but maybe forgot to feel.
Trust is hard, especially when you’re in the middle of hard things. But that’s when it matters most. Not the easy believing, the kind you do when everything’s fine. The real trust is when you’re scared and you pray anyway. When you’re tired and you sing anyway. When things aren’t working out the way you hoped and you still believe God’s there.
