Listening to Uplifting Music
I didn’t listen to Christian hip-hop, my normal choice of music, for about three weeks after my surgery. I couldn’t connect to it. All I was feeling was suffering, and Christian hip-hop doesn’t talk about that. I think that is something that needs to change. For that time I listed to the K-Love radio station. It was uplifting music that made me feel better mentally and emotionally, because I was understandably depressed. It talked about suffering.
The one song that I connected to more than any other was “Trust In You” by Lauren Daigle. The chorus goes “When you don’t move the mountains, I’m needing you to move, when you don’t part the waters, I wish I could walk through, when you don’t give the answers, as I cry out to you, I will trust in you.” I felt like I had mountains of pain that wouldn’t go away. In my mind I would cry out to God, “Please please please take the pain away,” and it stayed. That song really moved my emotions, has brought tears out of my eyes, and I don’t know what else to say about it. Listening to that song was a big deal for me.
