So you’re having a bad day. We’ve all been there.
People say, “You can’t help how you feel.” That’s true: loss will make you feel sad, opposition can make you feel angry, and sometimes it seems like nothing’s going right. But sometimes we choose whether to bury ourselves in our feelings or to push through. We really have more control over our feelings than we like to admit.
Sometimes when I’m feeling down, or mad, or just … blah, I like to put on some good Christian music. It usually doesn’t take long before I’m singing along and getting into it.
I know I’ve said it before (just a few times), but the cure for insecurity, sadness, anger, or any negative emotion we have really is to focus on Christ. That’s what Christian music does. Music is powerful. It can evoke strong emotions in us. Add to that the power of Almighty God and the power of music is Powerful – with a capital P.
I thought it’d be nice to pull together a list of songs that help me when I’m feeling down. If you’re feeling yucky today, I hope this list will help.
20 Funk-Bustin’ Songs for Your Bad Day
I hope you’re feeling better now or at least seeing a new light. Music empowered with Truth can do that. It doesn’t even have to be a rainy-day song.
SO, what other songs help you beat back the funk? Let me know in the comments.
Didn’t quite get enough? I’ve rounded up a few other resources for you.
- Top Christian Country Songs (2018)
- Southern Gospel Music (2018) Praise and Worship
- Christian Music: My 10 Favorite Artists (for the Moment) from HISsparrowBlog
- My Rainy-Day Day Playlist from HISsparrowBlog
I frequently link up with the following: Grace & Truth with Embracing the Unexpected, Tell His Story with Jeanne Takenaka, and Let’s Have Coffee with Joanne Viola.
Ok I’m trying this again. Thank you for this list, I really needed it today. I’ve never really been into Christian music but I love these. I’m Craig’s wife by the way. Keep up the great work, I enjoy reading it.
Hi! 😉 I’m so glad you found this list helpful. I love how God uses music to reach our souls. Thank you for the kind words and stopping by. God bless you!
Thank you for putting together this list of songs. I added a link to it on my blogs under the post “Help for Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal Thoughts.” (Here’s one of the links: https://mycrazyfaith.blogspot.com/2018/06/help-for-anxiety-or-depression.html) I had compiled a list of songs and resources that might help someone who is struggling emotionally, and your post fits right in. Thank you for doing this! I hadn’t heard most of these songs before, but they’re great. Blessings to you!
Thank you, Heather. I’m so glad this list is a help; music has a way of reaching us in awesome ways. Blessings!
