Never Alone

Grief, sorrow, pain, loss, disappointment, fear, anxiety...no one escapes these feelings. Sometimes we can become so consumed by them and we feel alone.  At one point in my life I felt so heavy and burdened, I couldn't sleep, I felt like I couldn't breathe, I could hardly function... I was listening to inspirational music to try and find comfort and healing one sleepless night. This song came on and oh how the tears flowed! It spoke to my soul and so deeply captured the feelings of my heart. I played it over and over for days. It was the beginning of my healing. It brought me out of my despair and helped me to recognize that I truly am never alone...

Never Alone by Hilary Weeks

Why did this happen

Do you know what's happened to me

And Heaven were you watching

Were you watching over me

Cause the way that I've been feeling

Well I'm feeling so alone

So if you hear this prayer 

And if I'm not alone

I need to know

I need to know you're there

I need something to hold on to

I need someone who will care

Carry me on

And Carry me through somehow

Make sense of this pain 

And show me the way

Cause when the darkness comes 

I'm a prisoner to my fears

Although I'm listening the doubt is all I hear

Then I reach for your hand 

and feel you reaching back

And the light returns

And I begin, I begin to understand

My soul can feel the mercy 

And the love in your plan

And when I let go

And turn all the hurt and sorrow over to you

The burden is light

And trusting I find

Though the storms roll in 

And the winds of change may blow

I know you'll let them come 

So that I can learn and grow

And when I reach for your hand 

I feel you reaching back

And that's how I know

I am never alone

Who Am I?

Every summer there is a Youth Program called EFY (Especially For Youth). It is an amazing, inspiring program. A special album is created for each year. I just got this year's album and this song hit me like a ton of bricks!! Life is so much about relationships...It's so much about loving others and forgiving each other's imperfections. We need to look into each other's hearts and see all the good and bring it out. This goes for family, friends, neighbors, etc. The lyrics say so much to my heart. I am so grateful to know that my Savior, Jesus Christ, is there for me and everyone around me.  I need Him just as much as anyone else. Without Him I am nothing. This song brings into perspective for me that I can only change my heart and leave the rest up to Heavenly Father and the Savior. It's my job to love, not to judge...

Who Am I? by Nik Day
It’s easy to forget

That everyone makes their own mistakes

And everyone is trying

As much as they can

It’s easy to ignore

Everything that I need to change

Because I’m looking at everyone else instead

If I don’t forgive and forget it

Then I’m sure I’ll regret it in time

So I’ll try

Who am I to judge

Who am I to think I know their hearts

Who am I to think I’m right

And think that I’m better than they are

Who am I to turn the other way

Because of the mistakes that someone’s made

When I’ve got mine

Who am I, who am I?

It’s easy to forget

That everyone’s hurting just as much

We’ve all got our problems

We’ve got our own imperfect pains

It’s better to remember

That we’re all in this together

And our Heavenly Father loves us all the same

So if I don’t forgive and forget it

I’m sure I’ll regret it in time

So I’ll try

Chorus

Nobody’s perfect

And it’s all in the past

And everyone deserves a second chance

Chorus
