Stronger

I am a huge sucker for good lyrics. Honestly, I have to be careful what I listen to because music sticks with me all day long. When I listen to uplifting lyrics and then sing those songs all day, it changes my attitude.

Lately, this song is constantly spinning through my head. I highlighted my favorite parts in bold.

Stronger by Mandisa

Hey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather

Oh, don't hang your head
It's gonna end
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares

When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you ...

Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares

'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this

When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
In time it's gonna get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger


I have some special people in my life who are facing some difficult challenges and this song encourages me. I hope (if they're reading) it will encourage them too.  He is faithful. He's with us. He cares for us and as we trust Him through hard times, He will make us stronger. 

"Cast all your anxiety on him for he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
