I played Danny’s song, Give Me Jesus for my husband the morning he passed. With our 6 children there in the hospital, when he was in a coma, I layed my phone on his chest and just let those words give him comfort. That’s who my husband lived for, Jesus.
My aunt just sent me this today. I lost my momma this summer an I'm so lost without her. She was the reason everyone in our family onows the LORD🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
+Jady Nekena R. A huge piece of his heart was taken with her. I believe is why he didn't want to let loose his grip ;\. If it were my spouse (perish the thought) I would have done the same. So so difficult. Our Father is with us in our darkest of days.
Our Danny has had his moments of suffering; but in that suffering, character is made strong. I believe it helps him to relate to others who go through tough battles, as well.
I have a doubt….. if He remarried… what happens when he reunites with his first wife in heaven ? I know everyone has the right to have a second opportunity but if you loved so much a person how can you remarry…… it doesn’t make sense.
@Samantha Swinford I am so sorry for this crushing loss. The pain must be unimaginable for you. It's OK to still feel deep grief. Are you getting any meaningful support?
Samantha Swinford I’m so so so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry. I don’t know what to say. I know words won’t help but Gods providence and His grace and His love will carry you through. My heart is with you
2010 I lost my husband , my best friend and it still hurts today. I miss him terribly . It’s all God’s plan. Danny Gokey is amazing singer. Listening to his songs has help me in so many ways . To help see things differently and pushed me through so hard and difficult Times. Thank God for blessing us with an amazing singer
I've experienced the grief of not having your prayers answered a few times. He mentioned people at his church being healed. When my daughter's father died of cancer I was shocked God didn't heal him. The next morning when I went on Facebook to tell people who'd been praying, the first thing I saw was a praise report from someone healed of cancer. I'm not gonna lie, even though it's good she was healed, seeing that just made me feel more hurt and confused. A little over a year ago my step sister went missing. I kept praying and believing we'd find her ok. After 5 days she was found deceased. I was so shocked again. I'm sharing all this to say, when Danny said, "Where else could I go?" I knew exactly what he meant. I questioned God on both those occasions. I didn't understand yet I still knew He was going to get us through and He was my comfort. Jesus is the only place to go. Depend on Him for your every being.
Kelly ClayWoo Amen sister!! You will find all the answersin heaven, its better that way. This is training camp down here, lets pass the test and continue to rely on God 100% no matter what! Im excited for all the answers Im going to get for all of my questions in heaven one day !!
Kelly ClayWoo sorry for your loss. Praying for you even now. Do go search up Enduring Faith by Bill Johnson on Soundcloud. It talks about disappointment
I truly don't believe God is responsible, our God would never want or allow our loved ones to suffer. This is all just life, our loved ones are in a better place, we will be together again one day. How sad if one can't believe that...I have been through more than any one person should ever have to go through in life. (My brother was hit and killed at 13, my family fell apart...perfect scenario for myself to become a teenage mom...married then divorced. Daughter diagnosed with a brain tumor, Dad and grandma passed away, step-brother is killed in an accident, then my sweet Katy that we had thought was going to beat the odds becomes terminally ill.) It still blows my mind, but I will never blame God, all of the prayers for Katy did give us another 18 months with her, if I just became angry at God what would I have to live for? She was an angel from the time she was born, I can't even explain it...I'm not going to say I am ok with it in any means, it's a struggle. But you learn to live with it...or at least I have. Because if I didn't I would be a train wreck. I always believe/feel she's with me, and I know she would want us to be happy. Or should I say as happy as possible...when you lose a child a part of you dies, things will never be the same, ever..but who would ever want to be? A loss like this is unimaginable, I could go on forever!! I apologize, I normally wouldn't even respond to anything...I am so sorry for your loss, but keep on keeping on and never give up your faith!!
I didn't find you untill today... August 27th 2021, I know you may never see this but I want you to know how much your music has touched me today. I lost my son to suicide on August 27th 2015. I lost my home, my buddy and furry baby Porter in early 2017 as my husband battled cancer. Our landlord of 15 years sold his house and gave us a few months to move but we couldn't find a place. We were left homeless for a month untill we found a place, and on the day I signed the papers we found out my husband had less than 6 months to live. He passed on December 28 of 2017. My best friend passed on September 10th 2020 and then just last week on August 17th my Father passed. Right now I am mourning the passing of 4 people all at once! Between August 17th and September 10th I have anniversary dates for all of these people I loved. Today is the anniversary of my sons suicide I truly feel I was meant to hear your music! Thank you for your strength and willingness to share your life and sorrows that I can feel I am not alone in my grief. Much love and blessings to you.🌹
My good friend from BC send me this song “Let your heart beat again” First time I’d ever heard it. I was able through the power of the living God, after too many losses in my life, to live again with the assurance that God knows best. That my heart did beat again even after an extensive heart surgery to correct a genetic disorder in 2021 which was not even discovered until I was well into my years and then only by accident. Gods timing was perfect. Thank you my friend for that song and God bless you Danny. Just keep singing!!
Danny only if you knew how much your testimony has helped me today ... I'm been tested on my faith and I prayed God help me and your song came into mind " let your heart beat again" and I seen this video just what I needed ... Thank you God bless you .
Thank you for sharing your story Danny... I recently lost my husband to brain cancer... he battled it for 10 1/12 years and was only given months to live back then... I begged God to heal him but it was not his plan... I know how you feel when God does not give you what you want...it hurts.....God knew how much we loved each other so he blessed us with a long good bye....
***** Yes one step at a time and sometimes we do need to reach for a helping hand....thank you friend... for your words of encouragement... and thank you for your prayers for peace.... May God bless you! "If God brings you to it he will see you through" Just look at me i'm living proof of it... for I have walked through many storms and I survived it all because God saw me through it!! Amen!
I'm so sry sister for You're loss, You an You're family are in My prayers Yah be with You an May our king comfort you an bring you thru this I Love You sister See ya when We get home.
Didn’t heal him?! Yes ma’am, you better believe He did!! Maybe those 10 and half years were tough, but you said he only had months to live and God brought 10 more years. No time is ever enough!! I’m so sorry for your loss 😞 bittersweet the blessing of a long goodbye. So sweet and heartbreaking.
This is powerful! My 34 year old daughter died in June of 2020. She was my best friend, too. I have struggled with the pain. This video really helped me.
Thank you for your testimony I lost my 28 year old son in July of this year, 2 months ago. He was shot on the neck and died, he left two boys fatherless. You explained the pain I m going through right now but I’m still trusting that God is in control.♥️♥️🙏🙏✝️✝️
I lost my wife to cancer in Jan 2012. We were serving God as missionaries in Mexico City, Mexico. I too fell into a deep dark hole for several years. Listening to your song Let your heart beats again made me realize that I needed to carry on and keep living. Thank you for your testimony.
Thank you for sharing your testimony! In 1999 my sweet husband who won me to Jesus when I was 23 died on our bedroom floor. He was 36 and I was 31. The Lord had promised me and Michael that he would heal us both of our daily migraines on the same day. My husband suffered so much! His headaches became worse in the six years we were married but we believed the Lord. When I came in that morning to find him dead on the floor I asked the Lord what happened to the promise? He spoke so clearly to me that He healed Michael in the most ultimate way He could and I was healed now and never to have a headache again! He was true to His word no pain and I suffered for 4 years. After Michael died 15 of my family members came to visit and go to church with me one by one and all were saved! The lord is so good and a very present help in time of trouble.!
I needed to hear this !!!!! Amen to God 🙏 I lost my faith after my love one died. And yet God is showing me the bigger picture !!! I'm also writing a book as it was peace for my troubled heart. And everyday God shows me His presence in my life !!!! What an Amazing And UNFAILING God we serve 🙏!!!!
I am also writing a book. I've always had an affinity for writing; therefore, God has put it on my heart to write a book that will help others heal. Best wishes to you on the writing of your book. I pray for your success and healing.
You are amazing! Ever since I saw you try out for American Idol, I knew you were special. You were my favorite and I have followed you since. You are blessed! God surely had a plan for you. May God continue blessing you.
Thank you, Danny. You are so right . God brought me through the accidental death of my 21 year old son and is now bringing me through a very difficult time. Praise God! I love Him, I trust Him and I know He will do what is best for me and all of us if we trust Him!
So many of my family have gone toHEAVEN I Miss them but know at the same time they are HOME with our HEAVENLY FATHER ,AND JESUS and THE HOLY SPIRIT Mrs R C,F
I'm sure we all can relate to much of your testimony that you shared Danny, but my heart grieves with anyone going through tragedy. Last Saturday was a beautiful memorial service...a celebration of life for a family in my church where both of their two older sons were killed together in a motorcycle accident very recently. What made it even more tragic and unbelievable was that just a few years earlier they had lost their youngest son in a tragic traffic accident also. We, as the body of Christ and brothers and sisters in the Lord are deeply grieved by such tragedy. But, as believers, where else do we go but to the arms of Jesus. Remarkably, the family though blindsided and stunned by the events, remain steadfast in the Lord. They said they're at peace because they know all three brothers are reunited and they're together in heaven.
+jacalyn sharp Lay all of your pain down before Lord and remmember He is always for you, and he always be... I wish you to never let your ligth fade away, be happy and live as He created you to be. And yeah, dont forget to smile, it helps. :)
I love your music. It speaks to me on a personal level. Until today I had know idea that you shared a loss like me. My husband died unexpectedly leaving me to raise our five children alone. The hardest thing in my life was to keep my faith over the past four years. In 20 days it will have been 4 years and it never hurts any less. It has felt like my world has been over more than once. But this year has proven God has bigger plans. I am moving forward and struggle daily. Thank you for your story.
Danny, please know that your journey also touched my life. My story is too long to tell here but i was going through very difficult time in my career, where i had to leave my beautiful home in preparation for a fierce battle with my ex boss. At your concert , even though i was already saved, during your intermission, i told my wife that i missed my home, that my heart was broken and stopped beating. I had never heard your music. I went to your concert at my wifes request. At that moment i was wondering if God understood what i was feeling. Then you came back on again, and I heard you sing “Tell your heart to beat again” it was then that i realized that my God was always with me, that HE would get me through this journey. I am now in another beautiful home, successful and happy beyond belief. God spoke to me through you. Thank you so much for not giving up. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Thank you so much for this song. What a tragedy to lose someone so young and beautiful, just beginning life. I lost my husband of 23 years suddenly about a year and a half ago. I have felt all of the things that you talk about in this video, but for a much longer time. My life has been stuck and I've felt like I was buried with him. I finally decided to start going to some GriefShare meetings to help me work through this and on the way to the first meeting, I heard this song on the radio for the first time. I broke down and cried. I felt like it was God telling me that it's ok to finally start living again.
Maureen Cleveland My Prayers are with You sister I pray Our father brings You both comfort an Peace Yah be with You an Remember You are Loved don't give up!!
wow my goodness so powerful. God is a good God even when He doesn't look like it sometimes. Hols on. He will let you know why eventually why He does what He does. Love this
God works in mysterious ways. Came to this video through a rabbit hole and it's exactly what I needed as I, like many others who have commented here, are seeking guidance at this very moment. I remember rooting for Danny when he was on American Idol and it's crazy to find him again after all this time. What a wonderful video and perfectly timed for me. I pray for those that commented here find peace and strength through their faith in our Lord and Savior. I have a sign on my wall: "Let go. Let God". I need to read it more than I do.
That's how I felt when my dad passed away, me and my sister sang in the hospital and people were asking where is the choir and it was just me and my sister, you are such an inspiration to me. God bless you!!
I have experienced the tears in my heart being cleared, and the tears in my son's heart being cleared. This testimony is very timely. Please pray that when you read this Danny, that I am praying for your Sophia's heart business and that you pray that my son and me are freed from homelessness that separated us in 2013 so that we can reunite our hearts and physically and geographically.
Danny I was at the Calvery womens conference yesterday and they played your song I Have been out of fellowship for some time now and you touched my heart and my heart has started to beat again for my savior. God is using you in so many ways thank you for your faithfulness.
Danny gokey you are amazing, I just lost my mom last month it's so very hard for me. But your music really comforts me in my time of sorrow God bless you
Such a beautiful song and a heartfelt tribute to your Sophie. I have battle with grief and loss of someone very special in my life. He went to heaven to be with jesus at the age of 42. He was in the prime of his life. It's been almost 20 years and there is not a day that I do not think about him.
Thank you for sharing this testimony! My husband committed suicide 24 yrs ago & it's been hard to cope with but I trust in God & His healing power. Thank you, Jesus Christ for being the healer of broken people & hearts!! God bless you, brother.❤️🦋🛐
Danny this is how much I want to tell you how your music has healed me from addictions, hurt, betrayal, and on and on . But ever since God redeemed and restored me from inside and out ( not perfect ) but he continues his great works in me. Ever since back in 2017 I started listing to your music all of your songs are healing and helped me to overcoming the things that were supposed to end my life . thank God for you Danny.
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! being so transparent. When I lost my mom at 17 I shook my fist at God.I was so hurt and so angry. I not only lost my mom, but my home and almost everything and everybody. I now see the bigger picture. My mom got saved on her death bed, literally. Now I am saved, a follower of Jesus Christ. He has healed me and brought me and my own family now through so much. I'm saddened by your loss Danny, but it is amazing, what all God is doing in you and SO many people God knows best. Sophia is in heaven with Jesus no pain., no hurt. just joy and forever with her Savior. amen
Today is the 7th anniversary of the passing of my daughter from a battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma at age 19. After a three year battle and many, many prayers, she went home to be with the Lord. I listened to your story today and realized just how far God has taken me on this journey. Before Kate died, I thought I was a Christian, but the days grew dark for me, much like they did for you, after the passing of Sophie. I went deep into the valley of depression. At one point, I actually attempted suicide. I was over 10 hours exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning (I should have died). But God had bigger plans for me! He saved my life, and led me to a new relationship with Him and His son, Jesus Christ. A few weeks after having unsuccessfully trying to end my life, I accepted Christ as my savior and I was truly born again!!! Thank you, Danny Gokey for sharing your story. My daughter loved you on American Idol and even got to meet you backstage, not long before she passed away on October 28, 2010. You were on tour with the roadshow for American Idol. Thank you for reminding me today, October 10, 2017, that my "heart now beats again."
In my darkest hour for the first time someone has spoke life of the risen King. Thank you for being obedient to the will of God. It was the worship of the Father in you that illuminated my heart again. The heart of Jesus beats again because of your worship. Merci Beaucoup!!!!
i can relate. I know the pain. lost my husband 11 yrs ago. music soothes the soul. my husband was a musician. the first 2 years after he died, I couldn't listen to music. eventually the Lord led me to open my ears again. The ability to sing is a pure gift from God. Jesus has blessed your voice so that hearts can heal. "Mary did you know" is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
Is so hard, when you pray and you don't have what you want. I loss my Son, I pray and took him we him.It was the hardest thing to go through. God bless you.
I have been going through some dark moments. A dark tunnel. But I know that I know, that God is on the other side. It's so hard, when someone in your family get brutally murdered. Why? was the question I asked. I don't understand. But like when you get out to Jesus, there is a peace and a calm that overtakes you. He was there all the time. He collected my tears, and I know JOY WILL COME IN THE MORNING. Thank you, Danny Gokey for your testimony.
My First Time Seeing Danny Happened To Be Mall Of America In 2010. I Was Honored To Be Right Next To Him Through The Whole Concert. ( I Wasn't On Stage Though ;(. While Watching This I Realized That I Am Morally BlissFull But I Have Screwed Up A Few Times. Throughout My Life experience God Has Been Their For Me Through TImes Couldn't Get Through On My Own.. I Swear To You.. He Answered All My Prayers In Odd Ways.. But He Did. It. Danny, You Truly Are A Blessing In Disguise. Namaste
Amen. Thank you for your testimony, Danny and sharing such a painful time for you. It brought me to tears, knowing what you have been through but also your honesty in how low you were but how God was working to bring healing and good out of the bad. In my darkest moments, I say three times, "I trust you God" because I know He IS TRUSTWORTHY. God bless you!
"let go of the toxicity" is the what God gave me through this message from Danny Gokey thank you Danny for posting this it will continue for years to touch peoples hearts and lives because while we are on this planet there will be sorrow and and pain and tests of our faith THANK YOU
u know I have been asking God for a particular thing for sometime now but it doesn't seem to be forth coming, every other prayers I've offered get answered except dis particular one, yet d devil keep making me feel as if God doesn't love me as much as I had thought, he started painting God like he's a slave master, as if God is an arbitrary God and in d middle of all dis struggles, I came across dis song by Danny Gokey "maybe you haven't seen it yet" and I'm like thank you Jesus because, I can see you talking to me through dis song..u have done it, I just haven't seen it! God bless you Danny, You are a living testimony...keep impacting lives.
Heartbreaking yet inspiring story_ God sustains us through all of our life's seasons. Though we do not understand, He will use these storms ultimately for our and His Good purposes.
This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Pain doesn't just change your life and gives you triumphs, it's does the same for others. There is a purpose for EVERYTHING, even pain!
I went through the same painful anguish and grief with my Husband. Till the very second that he stepped into Heaven, I Believed that God was going to heal him of the cancer that took his life. I struggled for almost a year, questioning God's intentions. I still dont understand why God took my Husband home, but I realized its not for me to question, but to lived for God so I will one day go to Heaven also. Thank you Danny for your honesty about your feelings in losing your Beautiful Wife. Your in my prayers
You have no idea the lives you touch everyday. Im 24 i have been struggling with my depression. God puts you where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. I heard let your heart beat again and broke down (not knowing anything about Danny Gokey) but i felt the lyrics and i felt god through that song and its inspired me to keep living. This video helped me understand the meaning of the song and wow. God has spoken to me. Thank you.
What else can I say but AMEN! I went through something similar when my grandmother passed away. Please pray for me. I wanna know what God wants to do through me.
Thank you for sharing this, Danny. I am going through a deep loss right now and your testimony reminds me that all of this is part of God's plan. Your song "Tell Your Heart To Beat Again" is helping me also, to realize that "my story's far from over." Thank you, and God Bless You-
Not a real big fan of American Idol but I'm definitely a Danny Gokey fan. The stiring in my heart and soul ... His hand reaching to me by your music. Beyond explaination.
I just lost the love of my life. He shared this video on Facebook years ago before I met him.. but I didn't know it til today. This was video was meant for me. I love you and miss you Jameson❤
God bless you Danny, you were just here in Clovis New Mexico. At Legacy Church. My husband and I really enjoyed the service. Next time you're here I would love to meet you face to face. Love the song Agradecido. Love you in the love of the Lord!!!!
Hi Danny, Thank you for sharing your story. After my divorce I went into a very dark place for 3 years. I visit god at my church across the road. I feel happy and safe there. God can’t always do miracles he is human as well. 💟🙏🏻😘✝️👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼
What a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness. Many ministries are given birth out of deep sorrows. Thank you for sharing your story and for having the courage to let go of your questions to God and just trust. God bless you! ❤
Things happen for a reason. We just don't know. I'm sorry for the loss you endured. You took a bad situation and turned it into something good. We don't know why these things happen. God needed her there. Keep being amazing.
Your a true inspiration. I know God is in you nd works through you. Your songs I listen to keep me from giving up. Last year was the worst. I had cancer surgery my husband of 22 years left me during surgery never came back now we are divorced. My granddaughter passed in May. My grandson passed in December on my birthday. I not sure if I will ever be ok. Bt thank God for you cause I wanted to die so many times cause of so much pain and hurt. I watched you on American idol you have came along way. God has kept you nd blessed you. I know I just got to keep holding on. God is still good through it all
I too went through a dark time of my life, experiencing similar to what you shared. I had to surrender to Christ and say I will trust You, You are in control and I love you. His grace is so amazing in my life!
Everyone needs to hear this , to know, God is in control and has a purpose for all of our lives, even in these painful moments of our lives. Bless you in Jesus's mighty name
I am like Sophia, no deliverance so far for me and as my life slowly goes, I know in the end I will be ok and God will take me, and then maybe I will see the purpose of my life after I am gone. Just have to keep hanging on to the end. Thanks for writing the song Tell Your Heart to Beat Again. I need to hear that now to keep picking myself up everyday and go on through all the health struggles and all that entails, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I accepted that my life may be like Job, but now I am losing my will and maybe my mind. I cannot find a purpose but your song helped me today to get up and do what I can. I thank you sincerely for that because there is no one in my life to help so it is my job till the end...I will listen to your song everyday to try and start my day. God Bless and sorry for your loss, but cannot wait to meet your wife in Heaven, hahaha she seems like someone I would get a long with well ;p
My Brother, just saw this for the first time...Wow, I related Big time after mami passed of Colon cancer I went through the same things BUT God. Hallelujah
I've lost a brother-in-law to that same condition. And when discussing it with other Puerto Rican friends, discovered that heart problems seem to be common place with them. No matter who leaves our side during this life, Jesus never will. God is so good! God bless you brother.
I played Danny’s song, Give Me Jesus for my husband the morning he passed. With our 6 children there in the hospital, when he was in a coma, I layed my phone on his chest and just let those words give him comfort. That’s who my husband lived for, Jesus.
My aunt just sent me this today. I lost my momma this summer an I'm so lost without her. She was the reason everyone in our family onows the LORD🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
He still looks so in love when he talks about her. Amazing testimony..
+Jady Nekena R. A huge piece of his heart was taken with her. I believe is why he didn't want to let loose his grip ;\. If it were my spouse (perish the thought) I would have done the same. So so difficult. Our Father is with us in our darkest of days.
Our Danny has had his moments of suffering; but in that suffering, character is made strong. I believe it helps him to relate to others who go through tough battles, as well.
I have a doubt….. if He remarried… what happens when he reunites with his first wife in heaven ? I know everyone has the right to have a second opportunity but if you loved so much a person how can you remarry…… it doesn’t make sense.
He does it's so sad my heart goes out to him 😓😞💔
I needed to hear this. My husband died in a motorcycle accident on 09- 30 - 2018. I'm still struggling. Please pray for me and my kids
@Samantha Swinford I am so sorry for this crushing loss. The pain must be unimaginable for you. It's OK to still feel deep grief. Are you getting any meaningful support?
Sending a prayer for you and your family. God will handle this
Samantha Swinford praying
God bless you ... and your children 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Cling to Him if you feel yourself slipping .. and call out .. asking Jesus to hang on to you
Samantha Swinford I’m so so so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry. I don’t know what to say. I know words won’t help but Gods providence and His grace and His love will carry you through. My heart is with you
2010 I lost my husband , my best friend and it still hurts today. I miss him terribly . It’s all God’s plan.
Danny Gokey is amazing singer. Listening to his songs has help me in so many ways . To help see things differently and pushed me through so hard and difficult Times. Thank God for blessing us with an amazing singer
I've experienced the grief of not having your prayers answered a few times. He mentioned people at his church being healed. When my daughter's father died of cancer I was shocked God didn't heal him. The next morning when I went on Facebook to tell people who'd been praying, the first thing I saw was a praise report from someone healed of cancer. I'm not gonna lie, even though it's good she was healed, seeing that just made me feel more hurt and confused. A little over a year ago my step sister went missing. I kept praying and believing we'd find her ok. After 5 days she was found deceased. I was so shocked again. I'm sharing all this to say, when Danny said, "Where else could I go?" I knew exactly what he meant. I questioned God on both those occasions. I didn't understand yet I still knew He was going to get us through and He was my comfort. Jesus is the only place to go. Depend on Him for your every being.
Kelly ClayWoo Amen sister!! You will find all the answersin heaven, its better that way. This is training camp down here, lets pass the test and continue to rely on God 100% no matter what! Im excited for all the answers Im going to get for all of my questions in heaven one day !!
Kelly ClayWoo sorry for your loss. Praying for you even now. Do go search up Enduring Faith by Bill Johnson on Soundcloud. It talks about disappointment
at the moment i am reading a really good book about exactly this struggle. it is called 'shattered dreams' from larry crabb. it is really good
I truly don't believe God is responsible, our God would never want or allow our loved ones to suffer. This is all just life, our loved ones are in a better place, we will be together again one day. How sad if one can't believe that...I have been through more than any one person should ever have to go through in life. (My brother was hit and killed at 13, my family fell apart...perfect scenario for myself to become a teenage mom...married then divorced. Daughter diagnosed with a brain tumor, Dad and grandma passed away, step-brother is killed in an accident, then my sweet Katy that we had thought was going to beat the odds becomes terminally ill.) It still blows my mind, but I will never blame God, all of the prayers for Katy did give us another 18 months with her, if I just became angry at God what would I have to live for? She was an angel from the time she was born, I can't even explain it...I'm not going to say I am ok with it in any means, it's a struggle. But you learn to live with it...or at least I have. Because if I didn't I would be a train wreck. I always believe/feel she's with me, and I know she would want us to be happy. Or should I say as happy as possible...when you lose a child a part of you dies, things will never be the same, ever..but who would ever want to be? A loss like this is unimaginable, I could go on forever!! I apologize, I normally wouldn't even respond to anything...I am so sorry for your loss, but keep on keeping on and never give up your faith!!
Awesome
Out of ones brokenness many were healed.
Amen
Dylan Carias amen
“The Lord is close to the broken-hearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed. “ Psalm 34:19
Amen.
I didn't find you untill today... August 27th 2021, I know you may never see this but I want you to know how much your music has touched me today. I lost my son to suicide on August 27th 2015. I lost my home, my buddy and furry baby Porter in early 2017 as my husband battled cancer. Our landlord of 15 years sold his house and gave us a few months to move but we couldn't find a place. We were left homeless for a month untill we found a place, and on the day I signed the papers we found out my husband had less than 6 months to live. He passed on December 28 of 2017. My best friend passed on September 10th 2020 and then just last week on August 17th my Father passed. Right now I am mourning the passing of 4 people all at once! Between August 17th and September 10th I have anniversary dates for all of these people I loved. Today is the anniversary of my sons suicide I truly feel I was meant to hear your music! Thank you for your strength and willingness to share your life and sorrows that I can feel I am not alone in my grief. Much love and blessings to you.🌹
My good friend from BC send me this song “Let your heart beat again” First time I’d ever heard it. I was able through the power of the living God, after too many losses in my life, to live again with the assurance that God knows best. That my heart did beat again even after an extensive heart surgery to correct a genetic disorder in 2021 which was not even discovered until I was well into my years and then only by accident. Gods timing was perfect.
Thank you my friend for that song and God bless you Danny. Just keep singing!!
Danny only if you knew how much your testimony has helped me today ... I'm been tested on my faith and I prayed God help me and your song came into mind " let your heart beat again" and I seen this video just what I needed ... Thank you God bless you .
Your music is a beautiful memorial to Sophie.
Thank you for sharing your story Danny... I recently lost my husband to brain cancer... he battled it for 10 1/12 years and was only given months to live back then... I begged God to heal him but it was not his plan... I know how you feel when God does not give you what you want...it hurts.....God knew how much we loved each other so he blessed us with a long good bye....
*****
Yes one step at a time and sometimes we do need to reach for a helping hand....thank you friend... for your words of encouragement... and thank you for your prayers for peace.... May God bless you! "If God brings you to it he will see you through" Just look at me i'm living proof of it... for I have walked through many storms and I survived it all because God saw me through it!! Amen!
I'm so sry sister for You're loss, You an You're family are in My prayers Yah be with You an May our king comfort you an bring you thru this I Love You sister See ya when We get home.
connie ohm bless your heart!
Didn’t heal him?! Yes ma’am, you better believe He did!! Maybe those 10 and half years were tough, but you said he only had months to live and God brought 10 more years.
No time is ever enough!! I’m so sorry for your loss 😞 bittersweet the blessing of a long goodbye. So sweet and heartbreaking.
This is powerful! My 34 year old daughter died in June of 2020. She was my best friend, too. I have struggled with the pain. This video really helped me.
Thank you for your testimony I lost my 28 year old son in July of this year, 2 months ago. He was shot on the neck and died, he left two boys fatherless. You explained the pain I m going through right now but I’m still trusting that God is in control.♥️♥️🙏🙏✝️✝️
Jesus you are amazing and perfect!! beautiful broken souls will tell of Your love! Thanks for sharing
I lost my wife to cancer in Jan 2012. We were serving God as missionaries in Mexico City, Mexico. I too fell into a deep dark hole for several years. Listening to your song Let your heart beats again made me realize that I needed to carry on and keep living. Thank you for your testimony.
Thank you for sharing your testimony! In 1999 my sweet husband who won me to Jesus when I was 23 died on our bedroom floor. He was 36 and I was 31. The Lord had promised me and Michael that he would heal us both of our daily migraines on the same day. My husband suffered so much! His headaches became worse in the six years we were married but we believed the Lord. When I came in that morning to find him dead on the floor I asked the Lord what happened to the promise? He spoke so clearly to me that He healed Michael in the most ultimate way He could and I was healed now and never to have a headache again! He was true to His word no pain and I suffered for 4 years. After Michael died 15 of my family members came to visit and go to church with me one by one and all were saved! The lord is so good and a very present help in time of trouble.!
I needed to hear this !!!!! Amen to God 🙏 I lost my faith after my love one died. And yet God is showing me the bigger picture !!! I'm also writing a book as it was peace for my troubled heart. And everyday God shows me His presence in my life !!!! What an Amazing And UNFAILING God we serve 🙏!!!!
I am also writing a book. I've always had an affinity for writing; therefore, God has put it on my heart to write a book that will help others heal. Best wishes to you on the writing of your book. I pray for your success and healing.
You are amazing! Ever since I saw you try out for American Idol, I knew you were special. You were my favorite and I have followed you since. You are blessed! God surely had a plan for you. May God continue blessing you.
thank you Danny you saved my life today xxxxx
Hallelujah!!! ❤
Thank you, Danny. You are so right . God brought me through the accidental death of my 21 year old son and is now bringing me through a very difficult time. Praise God! I love Him, I trust Him and I know He will do what is best for me and all of us if we trust Him!
Thanks Brother. Very encouraging. I continue "This Christian Race ---Strengthened." Love you Gokey. Run on Brother. Thanks Again.
This testimony is so powerful. To be able to worship when there’s nothing left of you… I’ve yet to get to that level.
So many of my family have gone toHEAVEN I Miss them but know at the same time they are HOME with our HEAVENLY FATHER ,AND JESUS and THE HOLY SPIRIT Mrs R C,F
I'm sure we all can relate to much of your testimony that you shared Danny, but my heart grieves with anyone going through tragedy. Last Saturday was a beautiful memorial service...a celebration of life for a family in my church where both of their two older sons were killed together in a motorcycle accident very recently. What made it even more tragic and unbelievable was that just a few years earlier they had lost their youngest son in a tragic traffic accident also. We, as the body of Christ and brothers and sisters in the Lord are deeply grieved by such tragedy. But, as believers, where else do we go but to the arms of Jesus. Remarkably, the family though blindsided and stunned by the events, remain steadfast in the Lord. They said they're at peace because they know all three brothers are reunited and they're together in heaven.
Your music is awesome,my husband died 5; yrs.ago.I've struggled this whole time,I know GOD has his reasons.I love your music!!!!and so does GOD.
+jacalyn sharp Lay all of your pain down before Lord and remmember He is always for you, and he always be... I wish you to never let your ligth fade away, be happy and live as He created you to be. And yeah, dont forget to smile, it helps. :)
im niko
I love your music. It speaks to me on a personal level. Until today I had know idea that you shared a loss like me. My husband died unexpectedly leaving me to raise our five children alone. The hardest thing in my life was to keep my faith over the past four years. In 20 days it will have been 4 years and it never hurts any less. It has felt like my world has been over more than once. But this year has proven God has bigger plans. I am moving forward and struggle daily. Thank you for your story.
Danny, please know that your journey also touched my life. My story is too long to tell here but i was going through very difficult time in my career, where i had to leave my beautiful home in preparation for a fierce battle with my ex boss. At your concert , even though i was already saved, during your intermission, i told my wife that i missed my home, that my heart was broken and stopped beating. I had never heard your music. I went to your concert at my wifes request. At that moment i was wondering if God understood what i was feeling. Then you came back on again, and I heard you sing “Tell your heart to beat again” it was then that i realized that my God was always with me, that HE would get me through this journey. I am now in another beautiful home, successful and happy beyond belief. God spoke to me through you. Thank you so much for not giving up. God bless you and your family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
ThankYou needed this today.
What an incredible testimony ... What an incredible singer ...
This made me cry. Powerful. God is blessed by you Danny
Thank you so much for this song. What a tragedy to lose someone so young and beautiful, just beginning life. I lost my husband of 23 years suddenly about a year and a half ago. I have felt all of the things that you talk about in this video, but for a much longer time. My life has been stuck and I've felt like I was buried with him. I finally decided to start going to some GriefShare meetings to help me work through this and on the way to the first meeting, I heard this song on the radio for the first time. I broke down and cried. I felt like it was God telling me that it's ok to finally start living again.
Maureen Cleveland My Prayers are with You sister I pray Our father brings You both comfort an Peace Yah be with You an Remember You are Loved don't give up!!
wow my goodness so powerful. God is a good God even when He doesn't look like it sometimes. Hols on. He will let you know why eventually why He does what He does. Love this
God works in mysterious ways. Came to this video through a rabbit hole and it's exactly what I needed as I, like many others who have commented here, are seeking guidance at this very moment. I remember rooting for Danny when he was on American Idol and it's crazy to find him again after all this time. What a wonderful video and perfectly timed for me. I pray for those that commented here find peace and strength through their faith in our Lord and Savior. I have a sign on my wall: "Let go. Let God". I need to read it more than I do.
That's how I felt when my dad passed away, me and my sister sang in the hospital and people were asking where is the choir and it was just me and my sister, you are such an inspiration to me. God bless you!!
What a testimony of your faith!
What a sermon!
I have experienced the tears in my heart being cleared, and the tears in my son's heart being cleared. This testimony is very timely. Please pray that when you read this Danny, that I am praying for your Sophia's heart business and that you pray that my son and me are freed from homelessness that separated us in 2013 so that we can reunite our hearts and physically and geographically.
Danny I was at the Calvery womens conference yesterday and they played your song I Have been out of fellowship for some time now and you touched my heart and my heart has started to beat again for my savior. God is using you in so many ways thank you for your faithfulness.
Danny gokey you are amazing, I just lost my mom last month it's so very hard for me. But your music really comforts me in my time of sorrow God bless you
Such a beautiful song and a heartfelt tribute to your Sophie. I have battle with grief and loss of someone very special in my life. He went to heaven to be with jesus at the age of 42. He was in the prime of his life. It's been almost 20 years and there is not a day that I do not think about him.
Thank you for sharing this testimony! My husband committed suicide 24 yrs ago & it's been hard to cope with but I trust in God & His healing power. Thank you, Jesus Christ for being the healer of broken people & hearts!! God bless you, brother.❤️🦋🛐
God bless you Danny, man of God! 🙏🏻 🕊️
Danny this is how much I want to tell you how your music has healed me from addictions, hurt, betrayal, and on and on . But ever since God redeemed and restored me from inside and out ( not perfect ) but he continues his great works in me. Ever since back in 2017 I started listing to your music all of your songs are healing and helped me to overcoming the things that were supposed to end my life . thank God for you Danny.
what a beautiful story. God bless
God Bless Him! Beautiful testimony. He kept the faith with the strength of Our Amazing God!
Thank you so much for sharing your testimony! being so transparent. When I lost my mom at 17 I shook my fist at God.I was so hurt and so angry. I not only lost my mom, but my home and almost everything and everybody. I now see the bigger picture. My mom got saved on her death bed, literally. Now I am saved, a follower of Jesus Christ. He has healed me and brought me and my own family now through so much. I'm saddened by your loss Danny, but it is amazing, what all God is doing in you and SO many people
God knows best. Sophia is in heaven with Jesus no pain., no hurt. just joy and forever with her Savior. amen
Today is the 7th anniversary of the passing of my daughter from a battle with cancer. She was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma at age 19. After a three year battle and many, many prayers, she went home to be with the Lord.
I listened to your story today and realized just how far God has taken me on this journey. Before Kate died, I thought I was a Christian, but the days grew dark for me, much like they did for you, after the passing of Sophie. I went deep into the valley of depression. At one point, I actually attempted suicide. I was over 10 hours exposed to carbon monoxide poisoning (I should have died). But God had bigger plans for me!
He saved my life, and led me to a new relationship with Him and His son, Jesus Christ.
A few weeks after having unsuccessfully trying to end my life, I accepted Christ as my savior and I was truly born again!!!
Thank you, Danny Gokey for sharing your story. My daughter loved you on American Idol and even got to meet you backstage, not long before she passed away on October 28, 2010. You were on tour with the roadshow for American Idol.
Thank you for reminding me today, October 10, 2017, that my "heart now beats again."
I'm so sorry, Danny?? ((May God)) take her and protect her in heaven and watch over Danny and family members...!
Refreshing and uplifting words... I've cried so much!
In my darkest hour for the first time someone has spoke life of the risen King. Thank you for being obedient to the will of God. It was the worship of the Father in you that illuminated my heart again. The heart of Jesus beats again because of your worship.
Merci Beaucoup!!!!
Amen. God bless you Danny. Thank you for sharing your story.
i can relate. I know the pain. lost my husband 11 yrs ago. music soothes the soul. my husband was a musician. the first 2 years after he died, I couldn't listen to music. eventually the Lord led me to open my ears again. The ability to sing is a pure gift from God. Jesus has blessed your voice so that hearts can heal. "Mary did you know" is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
Danny i love your music so m
I Love your music am sorry 😭
Am a big fan
Is so hard, when you pray and you don't have what you want.
I loss my Son, I pray and took him we him.It was the hardest thing to go through. God bless you.
Praying for you! I'm so sorry for your loss!
Rosa your son is standing among the angels looking down so proud of you 🙌
I have been going through some dark moments. A dark tunnel. But I know that I know, that God is on the other side. It's so hard, when someone in your family get brutally murdered. Why? was the question I asked. I don't understand. But like when you get out to Jesus, there is a peace and a calm that overtakes you. He was there all the time. He collected my tears, and I know JOY WILL COME IN THE MORNING. Thank you, Danny Gokey for your testimony.
Danny, you are my inspiration & got me back into start singing gospel!! I'm so sorry & glad you rose above it!!
My First Time Seeing Danny Happened To Be Mall Of America In 2010. I Was Honored To Be Right Next To Him Through The Whole Concert. ( I Wasn't On Stage Though ;(.
While Watching This I Realized That I Am Morally BlissFull But I Have Screwed Up A Few Times.
Throughout My Life experience God Has Been Their For Me Through TImes Couldn't Get Through On My Own.. I Swear To You.. He Answered All My Prayers In Odd Ways.. But He Did. It.
Danny, You Truly Are A Blessing In Disguise.
Namaste
Your testimony helps me to travel a tough road of my own. Keep speaking to the people who need it. God bless you.
I love this Brother. I remember him from AMERICAN IDOL. WHAT A GREAT CHRISTIAN WITNESS AND TALENT. ONE OF MY BEST SINGERS. GOD BLESS YOU DANNY.
Thank you for being so honest! May God bless you and increase the favor and happiness in your life! 🙏❤️
This man will be a saint !!! God bless u and condolences, from ur biggest fan !!!
Amen. Thank you for your testimony, Danny and sharing such a painful time for you. It brought me to tears, knowing what you have been through but also your honesty in how low you were but how God was working to bring healing and good out of the bad. In my darkest moments, I say three times, "I trust you God" because I know He IS TRUSTWORTHY. God bless you!
Our God is a working miracle God, your testimony is inspiring to many Danny, May God continue Blessing you and uplifting you higher and higher
Awesome testimony bro keep going hard for the Lord. With you bro. All glory to God
"let go of the toxicity" is the what God gave me through this message from Danny Gokey thank you Danny for posting this it will continue for years to touch peoples hearts and lives because while we are on this planet there will be sorrow and and pain and tests of our faith THANK YOU
Danny my whole family
loved you back on American Idol and we love you now! Thank you for giving the world hope.
u know I have been asking God for a particular thing for sometime now but it doesn't seem to be forth coming, every other prayers I've offered get answered except dis particular one, yet d devil keep making me feel as if God doesn't love me as much as I had thought, he started painting God like he's a slave master, as if God is an arbitrary God and in d middle of all dis struggles, I came across dis song by Danny Gokey "maybe you haven't seen it yet" and I'm like thank you Jesus because, I can see you talking to me through dis song..u have done it, I just haven't seen it! God bless you Danny, You are a living testimony...keep impacting lives.
Thanks SO MUCH for sharing this on the Net!
❤ Fabulous testimony...in your sadness comes life. Life in Jesus for many...May God continue His blessing in you and to you. ❤🙏
Heartbreaking yet inspiring story_ God sustains us through all of our life's seasons. Though we do not understand, He will use these storms ultimately for our and His Good purposes.
It’s AWESOME how our AMAZING God uses hardships and tragedies for good!
This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Pain doesn't just change your life and gives you triumphs, it's does the same for others. There is a purpose for EVERYTHING, even pain!
I went through the same painful anguish and grief with my Husband. Till the very second that he stepped into Heaven, I Believed that God was going to heal him of the cancer that took his life. I struggled for almost a year, questioning God's intentions. I still dont understand why God took my Husband home, but I realized its not for me to question, but to lived for God so I will one day go to Heaven also. Thank you Danny for your honesty about your feelings in losing your Beautiful Wife. Your in my prayers
You have no idea the lives you touch everyday. Im 24 i have been struggling with my depression. God puts you where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there. I heard let your heart beat again and broke down (not knowing anything about Danny Gokey) but i felt the lyrics and i felt god through that song and its inspired me to keep living. This video helped me understand the meaning of the song and wow. God has spoken to me. Thank you.
Thank u Danny...your life journey , about love, dream, hope, everything so inspired me....Jesus love u.....
Thank you God for Dannys testimony of his life in Jesus amen!
What else can I say but AMEN! I went through something similar when my grandmother passed away. Please pray for me. I wanna know what God wants to do through me.
Thank you for sharing this, Danny. I am going through a deep loss right now and your testimony reminds me that all of this is part of God's plan. Your song "Tell Your Heart To Beat Again" is helping me also, to realize that "my story's far from over." Thank you, and God Bless You-
Not a real big fan of American Idol but I'm definitely a Danny Gokey fan. The stiring in my heart and soul ... His hand reaching to me by your music. Beyond explaination.
I just lost the love of my life. He shared this video on Facebook years ago before I met him.. but I didn't know it til today. This was video was meant for me. I love you and miss you Jameson❤
God bless you Danny, you were just here in Clovis New Mexico. At Legacy Church. My husband and I really enjoyed the service. Next time you're here I would love to meet you face to face. Love the song Agradecido. Love you in the love of the Lord!!!!
My 5month old passed away 9/8/2020 due to a heart condition. It so hard.
Hi Danny, Thank you for sharing your story. After my divorce I went into a very dark place for 3 years. I visit god at my church across the road. I feel happy and safe there. God can’t always do miracles he is human as well. 💟🙏🏻😘✝️👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼
A path to the Cross always leads to the strengthening of our faith.... Praising God for you Danny!
What a powerful testimony to God's faithfulness. Many ministries are given birth out of deep sorrows. Thank you for sharing your story and for having the courage to let go of your questions to God and just trust. God bless you! ❤
Things happen for a reason. We just don't know. I'm sorry for the loss you endured. You took a bad situation and turned it into something good. We don't know why these things happen. God needed her there. Keep being amazing.
Your a true inspiration. I know God is in you nd works through you. Your songs I listen to keep me from giving up. Last year was the worst. I had cancer surgery my husband of 22 years left me during surgery never came back now we are divorced. My granddaughter passed in May. My grandson passed in December on my birthday. I not sure if I will ever be ok. Bt thank God for you cause I wanted to die so many times cause of so much pain and hurt. I watched you on American idol you have came along way. God has kept you nd blessed you. I know I just got to keep holding on. God is still good through it all
Thank you for sharing brother- you're a man of God.
Thank You,,The song TELL YOUR ❤ TO BEAT AGAIN has touched my heart to the core..
God lifts us up ..I'm so sorry for your loss ..
I too went through a dark time of my life, experiencing similar to what you shared. I had to surrender to Christ and say I will trust You, You are in control and I love you. His grace is so amazing in my life!
Everyone needs to hear this , to know, God is in control and has a purpose for all of our lives, even in these painful moments of our lives.
Bless you in Jesus's mighty name
I am like Sophia, no deliverance so far for me and as my life slowly goes, I know in the end I will be ok and God will take me, and then maybe I will see the purpose of my life after I am gone. Just have to keep hanging on to the end. Thanks for writing the song Tell Your Heart to Beat Again. I need to hear that now to keep picking myself up everyday and go on through all the health struggles and all that entails, mentally, physically, and spiritually. I accepted that my life may be like Job, but now I am losing my will and maybe my mind. I cannot find a purpose but your song helped me today to get up and do what I can. I thank you sincerely for that because there is no one in my life to help so it is my job till the end...I will listen to your song everyday to try and start my day. God Bless and sorry for your loss, but cannot wait to meet your wife in Heaven, hahaha she seems like someone I would get a long with well ;p
colleen shaw just read your post praying for you How are you doing?
My Brother, just saw this for the first time...Wow, I related Big time after mami passed of Colon cancer I went through the same things BUT God. Hallelujah
Thank you for sharing them all in tears right now because I know how I have some flaws in my life and hurt please keep me in prayer thanks so much
It's not about me, It's about Him. It's His story, and he lets me be in it. Thank you Jesus.
Thanks for sharing I lost my wife 5 yrs ago I felt I could go on thank you so much for sharing ur story.
AWESOME Danny!!! Thank you...Letting go is such a challenging experience but when we make that DECISION God's Grace is there to bring us to Victory!!
Your story is awesome. I'm so sorry for your loss. God bless you.
I've lost a brother-in-law to that same condition. And when discussing it with other Puerto Rican friends, discovered that heart problems seem to be common place with them.
No matter who leaves our side during this life, Jesus never will. God is so good! God bless you brother.
