Finding Courage Through Faith: The Story Behind 'Prayer' by Blessing Tangban


In this new release, “Prayer,” Blessing turns her struggles into a powerful declaration of faith. These lyrics are very personal and invite everyone to lean on God’s promises, and let Him turn their fears into victories.

Blessing Tangban - PrayerThe lyrics of “Prayer” are literally a prayer to God, which she wrote down, and she hopes that it will restore faith in her listeners to continue to be bold and trust in God during times of low light.

Blessing shares: “I was going through a time where I was struggling to believe that I would get a breakthrough in my life and music career. Things were so tough, rejections and setbacks everywhere I turned and this song just came to my spirit as a way of affirming my faith that I would get everything God has promised me and I would get a breakthrough no matter how negative things seemed to be looking on the outside. That’s why I called it prayer because it is quite literally a prayer I was making and it turned into a song. I had gotten many promises from people and life that fell through and I was just praying and affirming that God’s promises to me won’t return to him without fulfilling the purpose for which it was sent to me.”

Through every line, you are encouraged to cast your worries aside and embrace the strength we all may find by trusting the Lord’s promises, without any hesitation. May “Prayer” also be your reminder that in God, you will find an anchor, a stronghold that ensures you that you’re never alone in your battles. He never leaves your side!

(Related scripture: 1 Peter 5:7; Isaiah 55:11; 2 Chronicles 20:15)

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...
