my comfort song, what's yours?

I've been depressed for so long now because of all the school works and the pressure from it. Really, BIG TIME! Whenever I can't contain all these things, hate to admit, I just simply cry. Cry all the pain from inside, at least to get rid even just a little of this pain. After I do the crying, there's just one thing I really wanted to do - to listen. Feel the stillness of everything and listen to anything that my ears will hear; the chirping of birds, sound of raindrops dropping from the gutter, the sound of the leaves as they are being blown by wind. Simple things that make me relax, feel a little better. But one thing that never fails to give me the true rest when all troubles seem to overtook me is listening to my comfort songs, Christian songs.

Though there are so many contemporary music that I can really relate to, Christian songs still give a different impact. This is solely because the theme is about God. I am a true believer. I continue to love him because of the blessings He continue to give me; safety of my beloved family and having real friends I can rely on, and I can't imagine my life without Him in my life. I love him. So, everytime I listen to those kinds of songs, I remember God and his promises to His children, to us.

"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

God keeps on reminding me of this word of His as I play Christian songs. As I listen to it, I find my rest as I have realized that God will always be there to understand and to comfort me. When I feel hopeless, He will make a way where there seems to be no way. He is my hope, my refuge and my strength when all seem to fail. Messages conveyed from these Christian songs are much stronger when you sing it, as if the song becomes your prayer. You praise God through music and talk to Him through your heart. Singing these will unveil what your heart really desires and God will see it. As what the saying goes, "Let your heart do the talking." Whenever I do this, I give everything to God. I let Him take care of everything, everything. This puts me to rest, give me comfort.

Now you know what is one of the things that still keeps me moving, keeping me on my feet on the middle of trouble.
