Favorite Music for Private Worship and Connection with the Lord


This has been a discouraging and depressing time over the last month for everyone. For that reason, I wanted to share with you my favorites list from the music player on my phone. The songs on this list have encouraged me, helped me to reach out to the Lord in my own private times, and often been used by Him to speak to me when I most need it. It’s added a few and lost a few over the years, but has otherwise been pretty consistent. Frequently what I will do is put the music on shuffle and let the Lord decide which order I need to hear it in.
