'I See Angels' by Doug Deforest: Encounter Hope in the Middle of Darkness


On occasion, you may feel like you're emotionally in a dark place and the outlook is quite hopeless. If that's where you're currently at, then Doug Deforest's 'I See Angels' is most likely a song for you. The song was born during a time of struggling with depression, and it literally came to Doug in the middle of the night, when everything seemed to fail. It isn't uncommon that when we're more or less at rock bottom, it's God's messages that come to us the loudest. 

Doug Deforest - I See AngelsIn "I See Angels," you could be hearing an echo of your own challenges. The lyrics not only describe what it's like to be engulfed in gloom; they also show that there is hope around you, even when you are not yet capable of seeing it. There are angels around us that point us towards God's love and remind us that we're never really alone. 

The lyrics whispers a powerful truth: no matter how massive the waves are, there is always a hand that is reaching out to us in our storms. As Christians, we're reminded that some of the most dramatic rescues aren't from physical danger, but from the depths of our own despair. Doug's angels remind us that God's helpers come in many forms, that it is God's comfort that wraps around us even in our bleakest moments, and that persistence in faith can turn the tide. 

So press play and let "I See Angels" fill the room. Let it be your companion on your journey and a remind you that when life gets rough, we have unseen angels ready to cheer us on and show us the way forward.

(Related scripture: Psalm 91:11-12; Hebrews 1:14; 2 Kings 6:17)

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

'Jeremiah 29:11' by Sow In Peace: Connecting to God’s Plan

Mike, the artist behind Sow In Peace, brings us a powerful reminder with his latest track, 'Jeremiah 29:11.' This track has a modern CEDM vibe, blending soothing electronic beats with the timeless promise from God that we can read in Jeremiah 29:11. 'For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.' It’s an energetic melody that doesn't distract from the core message, a song that invites you to reflect on God's promise in your life, reminding you that His plans are driven by love and purpose. Mike grew up in a family of musicians, and it shouldn't come as a surprize that music has always been an important part of his life. He went on to have a successful career writing music for TV shows and movies after finishing his formal education in music. While living the fast-paced Los Angeles lifestyle, he gave his life to Christ and found a new calling—a calling to slow down and re...
