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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
