What’s Your Favorite Song?

You’re walking through the store or scrolling your playlist, and then—bam—your favorite song comes on. Suddenly, your mood lifts. Your shoulders relax. Maybe you even tear up or smile without meaning to. 

Music has a way of getting through when nothing else can. It brings back memories, calms anxiety, and sparks joy. And that’s no accident, God designed sound after all. He gave us rhythm and harmony and lyrics that touch something deeper. 

So, when you hear a song that stirs something in you, let it remind you of this: God is near. And the joy, nostalgia, or comfort you feel? That’s sacred, too. 

Here’s a prayer and a Scripture to offer the moment back to the One who gave us melodies. 

“He put a new song in my mouth,  

a hymn of praise to our God” (Psalm 40:3). 

A Prayer for Hearing a Favorite Song

Composer of the cosmos, you fill the world with melody and meaning. Thank you for this song that stirs my heart, awakens my memories, and lifts my spirit. As the notes fill my ears, may your joy fill my soul. Let my life be a song of praise to you, singing truth in sorrow and gratitude in gladness. Amen.
