'Strength Through the Tears' by Krystal Dawn Land - Finding Hope in God's Strength


Krystal Dawn Land's song 'Strength Through the Tears' is inspired by Psalm 56:8, where it says, 'You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.' 

Krystal Dawn Land - Strength Through the TearsKrystal shares from her own experiences that God sees every tear, and even more important, He cares deeply about us as we go through life's ups and downs. We're especially vulnerable when we're going through difficult times, because that's when it's easy to drift away from God's path. Krystal's solution is to call out to the Lord to help her find the strength she needs in Him. She sings, 'I've been walking this road for so long, carrying such a heavy load, trying to do it on my own,' echoing what is probably one of our biggest weaknesses… an ego that says 'We can do it', altogether skipping the part where we should be saying, 'We can do it with your help!' 

Krystal beautifully directs our focus back to the peace and strength that we can only find in God's embrace, 'Through the cries, through the tears, I find strength even when my heart feels fear. In Your arms, I find peace.' Even when we feel that we are drowning in fear and darkness, it is God who can give us strength… if you let God help you and take the lead. 

If you've feeling alone or overwhelmed, give this song a listen. May 'Strength Through the Tears' encourage you to say, 'God, give me strength', stay close Him, trust His plan, and lean into His strength. Experience the promise that God is right there for you, offering you His peace and strength.

(Related scripture: Psalm 56:8; Isaiah 41:10; 2 Corinthians 12:9)

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.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Thank You Lord" by Sandra Lamb: When Worship Becomes Your Daily Habit

"Thank You Lord" by Sandra Lamb is a beautiful reminder that expressing your gratitude isn't just for those perfect days. The song starts by declaring God's greatness and invites you to constantly praise His greatness. In other words, worship isn't something that you do when you're in the right mood. Praising God is continuous, almost like a habit / a mindset. It's looking at the world, your life, and seeing God's greatness in everything.  The lyrics don't ignore the grey seasons in life… It walks us straight through them to His greatness. Instead of sinking into despair, we're encouraged to lift our hands, praise our Lord, and make a decision to praise God's name no matter what comes our way. Why? Because God's kindness shows up in our lives every single day. He opens doors and creates paths that previously seemed impossible… "You always show me kindness every day // You always made a way // Where there seems no way." Let...
