4 Powerful Worship Songs You Need To Ease Your Anxious Heart
Ben White

Ever since starting college, I have rediscovered my passion for worship music. I grew up with a background in music and singing, so as long as I can remember, worship has been my favorite part of church services/church camps.

I have always loved the power of worship. How a group of strangers can become one -- singing and praising as one. Matthew 18:20 says, "For where two or three are fathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."

Regardless of whether you are worshipping in a large group or quietly in your dorm, God is always there.

Life is stressful and we often deal with our worries, anxiety, and doubts alone. The next time you are in need of a de-stressor, answers to whatever situation you are facing, or peace of mind, give these songs a listen.

1. "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Hillsong United

"Oceans" is a classic for so many reasons. This song is not only peaceful and truthful, but it also holds the answers for when you are feeling alone.

Entering college can be a difficult time for anyone -- regardless of your faith. You are surrounded by many diverse people and opinions; and often, those opinions disagree with your own. This song reminds me that a path in faith is never an easy one.

The lyrics "Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk among the water wherever you may call me" have to be my favorite. Putting your faith in Jesus means letting go of the things you cannot control and putting every ounce of your trust into Him and His plan.

2. "You Alone" by Lauren Daigle


"And when my heart and strength have failed me my God you won't, Your name is mighty I will trust in You alone".

"You Alone" is power when you need it most. We often think we can handle our battles and struggles on our own, and when things don't turn out how we anticipated, we feel the disappointment.

This song reminds you to put your own understandings aside and put your trust in Him.

3. "Even If" by Mercy Me

"But God when you chose to leave mountains unmovable, give me the strength to be able to sing it is well with my soul"

I stumbled across this song on my drive to work one day, and it spoke to me. This song speaks to the deep truth of having a relationship with Jesus.

Some people believe that God is a "magic prayer box" who "will move every mountain we ask Him to;" however, we know that is not the case. God will test your faith, and things will not always turn out as we hope. But we have to have faith that there is a reason. And to praise Him even when the mountains do not move.

4. "One Thing Remains" by Kristian Stanfill


This song holds a special place in my heart as it is my all-time favorite worship song.

"In death, in life, I'm confident and covered by the power of Your great love"

The flow and growth this song holds are astonishing. The lyrics are truly so powerful and hit home.

Give this song a listen... I promise you won't regret it.


The next time you are overcome with daily stress, anxiety, and doubt, crank these songs up and open your heart. You will not be disappointed, and you will feel 100 times better.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
