Are you feeling worn down on life? Do you find it hard to connect with God because of all the frustrating distractions around you? You’re not alone. Many Christians find it very hard to concentrate on their spiritual walk with God due to the hustle and bustle of today’s modern society. However, there is hope! Music is a great way to block out the noise of the world and focus on God, but do you want to pull out a hymnal? While I do enjoy the classics, I have thoroughly enjoyed my discovery of Christian Contemporary music over the years. The following are fresh, modern, fun songs that are sure to get you moving in the right direction.

1. Good Good Father

Show your Heavenly father some appreciation with this beautiful song by Chris Tomlin.

2. Thy Will by Hillary Scott

Are you going through a tough time? Be like Hillary Scott and learn "these four words" that will free you in a way you never thought possible.

3. "Revelation Song" by Phillips, Craig, and Dean

Phillips, Craig, and Dean is probably one of my favorite bands and I would recommend any of their songs, but this one is my favorite. Celebrate God's holiness while enjoying awesome vocals!

4. "Even So Come" by Passion

Excited for Christ's Return? While this song seems to be just about Christ's return, if you listen carefully, you will find other messages within these beautiful lyrics. No matter what, "even so come!"

5. "Redeemed" by Big Daddy Weave

Celebrate God's mercy and ever-lasting love in this comforting song that reminds us that we're "not who [we] used to be."

6. "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" by Chris Tomlin

This modern take on the classic hymn is refreshing, blending old and new into a unique and beautiful worship experience.

7. "Soul on Fire" by Third Day

Feel yourself warming back up to God as this beat sets your soul on fire. Is it hot in here?

8. "Prodigal" by Sidewalk Prophets

Have you strayed away from God? We all do, sometimes. This song is a reminder that it is never too late to go "running like a prodigal" into our Father's arms!

9. "The God I Know" by Love and the Outcome

This is bound to get you out of your seat, dancing as well as singing (guilty as charged). Packed full of energy and joy, you can't help but smile at the wonderful things God has done in your life.

10. "Mended" by Matthew West

I don't know about you, but most days, I feel like a hot mess. I get caught up in the same mistakes, don't progress to where I want to, and wonder if I'm really progressing at all. Take a look at these feelings from God's point of view with this awesome song.

11. "Come As You Are"

Do you feel like you can't come to God because you have done something too big to forgive? This song shatters that lie and is filled with reassurance of God's ever-welcoming invitation to be with him.

12. "By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North

This song is the gentle reminder we all need at the end of a long, hard day: God is always with us, no matter what happens.

There you have it. Go forth and worship!
