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)

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"Temptation" by Dax: Fighting Spiritual Warfare Through Faith and Prayer

Have you ever felt like the battle against temptation is relentless? In his powerful track "Temptation," Dax reminds us that every moment of resistance is a victory. He doesn't shy away from the reality that "temptations outside, knocking at my door." Instead of hiding the struggle, he exposes it. He admits that while he "won the battle last night," the war continues. In other words, spiritual discipline is a daily choice. Dax explains that temptation finds safety in an "idle mind" and when we lack purpose. But most of all, he offers a strategy for triumph: "starve my flesh, then feed my spirit with faith." So, why trade your peace of mind for fleeting pleasure? The lyrics trace our struggles back to the garden and "Adam and Eve," and also point us toward redemption.  "Down by the Riverbend // in the garden, where the snake tempted Adam and Eve, // they ate the fruit and from those seeds // grew the roots of this ...

"Jesus Is His Name" by Aaron Goodhew: The Name That Changes Everything

“Jesus Is His Name” by Aaron Goodhew is a song written as a Christ-centred declaration of who God is and what He has done. The song begins by asking, “Who designed creation and called it into being?” and quickly answers by pointing our eyes “high above the heavens” and leading us to the very place “where he rests his feet.” In other words, this is worship from creation to restoration. Each verse walks through different parts of Christ’s work: parting waters, calming storms, healing lepers, restoring outcasts, setting captives free. The chorus invites the church to confess together: "He is the Lord God // Lifted up // Mighty to be praised // Sovereign King of kings // Name above all names." But most of all, He is the personal Savior “The one who paid our ransom // The one who saved a wretch like me.” The bridge crowns this declaration, calling Jesus “wonderful counsellor, mighty king and friend,” the Lion and the Lamb whose glory we cannot fully comprehend. A declaration...
