My hubby and I were told that he had a terminal disease when he was 19. We were also told that the path that the disease took would determine how much time he had. For many years he did well. We deluded ourselves into believing that it was not true. Then he started having downward spirals. On the night of one of his worst spells, I heard this song and it literally brought me to my knees. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
I was just diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia which is also known as the suicide disease because of the unimaginable pain it produces. I ran away from God when I was in 10th grade. My best friend was my pastors son, he was a grade under me. He passed away during basketball practice at school and from that day till now I have been running but I've decided that it's time to stop running and kneel and just be held.
I was a strong atheist. My mind could not accept the idea of a higher being even if I wanted to. On October 2018, I was in a tough situation in my life. And I was thinking to myself, I wish I could believe in a higher being so that I can turn to them. I looked up at the ceiling that day and said in arrogance and disbelief, "If you are there, show yourself/yourselves to me." I just laughed it off and slept. On the eve of 4th of January 2019, I decided to take my own life and jump off the 5th floor. I was depressed to the bone, hopeless, and felt like the problems in my life were unsolvable. I was sitting on my bed next to the balcony, just crying and switching between apps on my phone to distract myself. I opened TH-cam and found this song on my recommendations. I thought it was weird since I do not listen to Christian music, so I opened the song and started listening to it. Even though I did not believe in any word of it, I was desperate for any hope. So I just said, "I surrender", yet in disbelief. But in that moment, in a split of a second, in less than a blink of an eye; all of the suicidal thoughts, the depression, the sadness was gone. And it was all replaced with joy and peace that can never be described by words. The same tears of depression became tears of Joy. I FELT someone hugging me saying, "I have always been with you, and I am never leaving you." There was an old Bible in the library next to the bed I was sitting on. So, I grabbed it and felt my hands being pushed to open certain pages. All the verses I laid my eyes on felt like they were tailored to me and made sense for the first time. I was healed from depression that was killing me. I never had suicidal thoughts after this day. I still face a lot of difficult circumstances, but I am always at peace. Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," and he never failed me.
That's right you go young man don't let anyone say your too young I accepted Christ at nine and I knew exactly what I was doing God be with you brave young man for you will see heaven my friend see you soon at the marriage supper of the Lamb 🐑your courage gives me strength
Know people are praying. So am I. I believe for miracles for you. Lord, my sister and I believe for miracles. Encourage, comfort, Lord. This is not the end. Because YOU LIVE, Jesus. Amen.
My husband had a massive stroke 3 weeks ago. Hes alive by the grace of God but now I'm raising 2 kids alone, he's in rehabilitation life is so heavy. This song just shattered me.
I lost my mom about 2 months ago and my dad went crazy. I was their caregiver and made a very good money. But when all that happened I lost my most of money, which is really hard to do. My husband can't work because of a disability. If anyone out there can help me and pray for us. This song has helped me.
I want to thank you for this song. After the suicide of our youngest daughter in June 2018, this song "randomly" ended up in my husband's playlist. (No I don't believe it happened randomly, that is his word, I believe God used this song to reach him!) My husband was seriously backslidden, had been for years. He was dependant on alcohol and that was everything to him. Alcohol came before his marriage, his family, his job, his friends ... Long story short, he started playing this song over and over, and allowed God to hold him for the first time in years. I finally have the man I married back. He is once again a strong believer who is living for the Lord. Thank you for your faithfulness in singing for the Lord. You are a precious tool that God uses to reach the lost and hurting in this world. I pray for you often.
Here's my story in a few sentences as a testimony. I hope that someone reads it. As a child I went to church. Then as a teen I lost my faith because of alcohol and false friends. Some years later I realized that this kind of life sucks. I even started a trainee as a Bible Teacher. In the middle of it I got ill with a tumor in my head. I thought my life would be over now, but I survived the operation. After a few years of working I got a second tumor in my stomach. It was operated, too and again I survived. Unfortunally the tumor came back again and now doctors can't help me anymore. But, after all, I still believe in Jesus. You can loose everything you have, but he is there from the beginning of your life until eternity.
As a 13 year old who's battling depression and is hopeless. This song gives me hope. It tells me that there is more to live for when I dont know it. It tells me that God has got this even if my faith is starting to fall apart. This song tells me that God is always by my side and I'm not fighting this alone. That everything will be ok.
Amen sweetheart! It sure will be ok. You always cling to Jesus. Life won't always be easy, but with God I PROMISE you will get through ANYTHING. Keep his word close to your heart. That's where you get your wisdom. Prayers for you sweet girl. You are insanely loved by the God who holds the world in his hands. Don't forget that.
Sending so many prayers. Other songs that may speak to you are for king and country [ God only knows and David Goeke [ tell your heart to beat again. You are worthy and enough.
Exactly! There is SO much to live for....not only that you have people around you that truly love you. They may not tell you every day or when you need to hear, but they do. You are a brave person to be able to share your feelings right now. Be proud. Be happy. Keep the faith. Remember...God loves you unconditionally.
Amen. God hears the hopeless and gives them hope. My dad was diagnosed with cancer. I was scattered not knowing when to be strong and when to fall apart. He's clean and we're almost out of it but in that moment in that in-between I felt dead and empty. And the Lord showed this broken 15 year old where I was failing. Where I hid from my emotions and hid from him included. It's ok to be broken but be broken in Christ. Love ya sis or bro in Christ and everythings gonna be ok. ❤️
He never does. Came close as well, (assuming) Brother. Decades of crap, always working to "figure it out." We simply can't, in my experience alone. Once I gave up my need for control & gave it to God, everything fell into place. Failed military career, failed marriage, 16 years homeless (not consecutive), near starvation many times, near hypothermic many times, tip of the iceberg there but summation. I gave it up, gave it to God. That's how we win. ❤🙏 🤗
+Madeline Anne Russell Isn't that the truth. It is so hard when Satan gets into my head and tries to make me worry about the stupid wordly things that really don't matter when it comes to the big picture. Thanks for that encouragement
Casting Crowns group if ya'll only knew how much this song has meant for me by just hearing there is freedom in surrender 😢😢😢those are tears of joy ok not of sorrow AMEN🎉🎉🎉 and how many times this song has been shared just in my behalf ❤️ I cannot thank GOD ENOUGH FOR YA'LL AND THEE BEAUTIFUL GOD GIVEN TALENT YA'LL HAVE THROUGH WORSHIP MUSIC...IT HAS BROUGHT ME A LOOOOONG WAY AND OUT IF MANY DIFFERENT THINGS...KEEP ON TRUCKING YA'LL "JESUS STRONG YO"🎉🎉🎉
I am 14, I am a believer. I try not to let the kids at my school influence me to do wrong. This world is getting darker and darker this world needs God! One of my favorite songs. I love Unspoken as well.
Seasha you are a blessing! You stay strong and stand firm on the Word of God! You are doing the right thing by not allowing anyone influence you. Peer pressure can be a tough thing but always you are a leader not a follower! One day you will lead someone to Christ and they to will be believers of God! Thank you for sharing.
Djv N Those words mean so much to me, God bless you! I had a hard day today at work, you made my day and put a smile on my face. I’m so happy God sent you to me.
I'm on the edge of giving up and then I decided to look for a Christian song that could give me answers. This song left me speechless. I'm crying the whole time I'm watching this. These words in this song is exactly what I need right now. Thanks God for holding me tonight.
+Florayde Ken Bernardez And He will continue to hold you! He gave you this song when you needed it most. That's God saying, "Here my child, I know you need this". How awesome is that, that the God of everything takes time for us, and gives us what we need when we need it!
Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Thank you Lord Jesus
I’ve listening to Casting Crowns for years now, and I just barely realized what this song truly means. The lyricism basically describes how when our lives are falling apart, and we try so hard to keep it together, we forget about God and how he sent Jesus to save us from this pain or stress we feel, by dying on the cross. However sometimes when our lives are still falling apart, we pray for a miracle to seen immediately, instead of having faith for things hoped for. We hold on, instead of truly giving, or casting, our anxieties unto God. This song just is great reminder that we area not alone in the world, because God is with us. Also, that there are also other fellow Christians that are willing to pray for you and hear you out.
This song was so important to me when I went through a divorce 8 years ago - my wife Catherine decided she didn't want to be married any more. She made the announcement to me and my boys five days before our 40th anniversary. We had had a good marriage, even a great marriage most of the time. However, Catherine has always been a very independent woman with.strong personality. I have always been attracted to people with strong personalities. When she divorced me, she said, "It's not about you Cliff, it's just that I'm getting older, and I know that I would be happier if I wasn't married". I wasn't prepared at all for that announcement. Yikes! I couldn't get my head around believing that we were actually going to be divorced and for a while I was convinced that I would be able to change her mind. Nope, that wasn't going to happen. I remember being in the court room and the judge declaring that we were officially divorced. I went into a severe depression and my mind just shut down. I listened to this song over and over and over. I was just barely 'holding on' and found comfort in the thought that I could "just be held". I was a retired middle school band director/teacher who was driving school bus and motor coaches all over the northwestern United States and Canada. I found that I was having difficulty even finding my way across my hometown of Missoula, Montana. I eventually had to give up my professional driving. I was such a lost soul. I became suicidal for a while and kept a loaded hunting rifle in my living room closet, which I would take out every once in a while. I had enough fortitude to realize that suicide was a 'coward's way out' and took all of my guns over to a friend's house and asked him to store theml for me until I was better. I eventually ended up in a lock-down mental hospital for 2 weeks and then was placed in an 'assisted-living' facility where I lived for 3 1/2 years, I hated being there and felt like I was in prison, especially during CoVid lockdown times. But I had good friends who visited me and listened to me and prayed with me. And over the course of time, Jesus healed me. Too much to go into, but when I requested my neurologist to allow me to take the neurology test again (a six hour test), because I knew I was better. After it was scored, my neurologist set up an appointment and told me that he couldn't believe that I was the same person that he had seen 3 1/2 years previously. He said he had gone over the test 3 times and could not find any evidence of neurological dysfunction. He told me that in his 40-some years of practice that he had only had a couple of previous patients make such a dramatic turn around. I left the assisted-living place and am now teaching band to middle school students and driving school buses again. I just want to say that this song ministered so deeply to me, when I was really hurting. Jesus has become everything to me and is using me to minister to others who are going through their own trials. I have confidence that if Jesus healed me, they can also find His healing in their own circumstances. OK, that's all for now. Cliff
That is a wonderful testimony brother, and I’m so happy to hear of the awesome work God did with your healing! My best friend sent me this song a while ago, and I’ve only just listened to it… It is exactly what I needed to hear, but I can’t ‘hear’ it in the way I would like to. As with you, my brain has shut down, and I’m finding it so difficult to even feed myself. I cannot even open my Bible, which says a lot about where I am… I know I need to be in a psych hospital, but the conditions here in Australia aren’t the best inside those places. My legs and body have been so weak for so long, so it’s so difficult to do anything. I’m quite sure it’s all psychological. I’m afraid of letting go, but I have to; and allow the Lord to hold me… I trust you’re doing well right now, and are in the place where the Lord wants you to be… God bless you, and thank you for sharing 🙏
Wow, your testimony touched my soul! You could write a book and I would buy the first copy! It’s amazing how reading all the people’s testimonies can heal many of us. Thank you for sharing your story.
Cliff! What a story! When I read it TWICE, I to realized that there is something to live for! Even if it is passing on the word of God Thank you for helping me off of MY edge. Sarah Just be held!
Let go of your 5 loaves and 2 fish and allow Jesus to multiply. I pray God blesses whoever is listening to this song. I pray you become a blessing to others through your faith, sacrifice and obedience 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Please pray for my family...Iv tried talking to telling them we are living the bible right before our eyes...Every one thinks I'm crazy...I keep getting scripture Like My silence is my strength.. My words are pushing them away..I need God's divine intervention my family feels so devied.. Please SOS PRAYERS FOR MY LOVED ONES...Praise you Jesus
Hello hurting person. You are not alone. God is with you. This song has helped me so much, God has held me for so long, and has never let go. Sometimes it seems like he's losing his grip on my life, but he has always been holding me. If u r hurting, tired, annoyed, sad, angry, or lonely, please comment. I probably can't help much, only God can really help and heal u, but I will listen and pray for u. I'm here for u. Beautiful stranger, don't hesitate to comment. I love you, and I would love to listen to u.
Thanks Jax. Prayer is definitely a part of my daily life. Since you've seen cancer up close you understand how dangerous it is for someone undergoing chemo to get an infection, even a cold. I never get sick but this winter I prayed that even the smallest cold should be sent to me instead of my wife. I ended up seeing a doctor for the first time in a decade but my wife didn't have so much as a sniffle all winter despite the fact that chemo was wiping out her immune system.
Hiya! Thank you for this wonderful comment god bless you! I struggle with anxiety and just fear in general. So I would love prayer thank you so much!!!!!!
Please pray for my beautiful mother. She has stage 4 breast cancer. she's been going through chemotherapy treatment and God is so good. The doctor says the cancer is 60% gone away. I continue pray for complete healing. I appreciate any one who reads this if they can take a moment and pray for my mom. God bless you all! :)
This song is so awesome as i am at work i am listening to it and i finally actually listened to the words i have been going through some rough times like all of us. But after listening to this song i am from hear on out giving my whole life to GOD.
My husband and best friend in the world died of cancer last month and today it actually hit me that he is really gone and I have to live life without him. I felt so broken this morning and God seemed so far away that all I could do was cry. I was out driving around when I heard this song on the radio and it just ministered to me like nothing else could! I have been trying to be strong for everyone but inside I have felt so lost and so alone. When I got home I got on my knees and just gave it all up to the Lord because I cannot walk this journey alone. I know now that it's okay to be where I am in this journey and just be held
hallelujah I pray that the Lord will bring comfort in the mist of this situation I too lost a loved one a few yrs ago my mom had passed sway when I wad only 14 and I rememebr crying out to God because the pain and hurt seeemed unbearable may God bring comfort as he has brought to me and has allowed me to.minsiter to others because of what I have gone through
I'm so sorry you lost your husband! 😢 my heart aches for you! Please know that God loves you so much and He knows your suffering and cares for the widows!!!
Wow, I scrolled through these comments and see MANY MANY stories from very young people 8-16 years old and my heart is breaking for each of you...please listen closely to the words of this song, Jesus is your answer, I came out of a lot myself and couldn't have done it without Jesus
Albert vd Westhuizen i hope i will never forget that kids problems matter too... infact possibly more. for the fact that they are influenced to do things and if they are ignored they would be more likely to go deeper and deeper into the society of lies
God works in marvelous way to help me thru hard times and good times I'm really glad I got God in my heart he's the best person I ever talked to and he is in my heart i song this song at my heart grandmas funeral keep your heads up guys and just talk to him he will listen and talk back you might not hear it but he listen for sure
I am a new believer. I fought depression since I was 12, and I'm now 17. For 4 years, I didn't believe in God, even though I grew up in a devout Christian house... I battled sadness everyday, and I pushed God away. I was going to commit suicide 2 years ago, and my last words were, "God if you're real. Give me something to live for." Not even an hour after, I got the news that my nephew was being born. God gave me him, and that was the day I started believing again. :)) I'm so glad I let God back in. He's my everything!
that is incredible! God us always waiting for you to see all the blessings He has in store for you. you can help others find God through your testimony!
When I had Stage 3 cancer and was going through treatment and felt so bad, this was my prayer: just hold me and show me what to do. He did. He has healed me and has plans for me. If you’re going thru a tough time, know that He loves you and has a plan for you. Just be held. ❤️Jane
I, too, had stage 3 cancer, in 2014.....& my daughter sent this song to me..... I’ve cried many times, while listening to these truths, & felt her love, as well as my Saviour’s comfort....Praise God!😇🙏
He's always working in us that are his I had to witness to my father on his death bad he died of lung cancer I gave him his last liquid codeine and watched him die in front of me and Mom keep fighting the good fight of faith and lay hold on eternity God bless you all
My dad and his wife have COVID, but are GETTING BETTER, : ) My dad also had 8 cardiac arrests in October of 2019 and survived when the doctors thought he wouldn't, and when he was born, the doctors thought he was dead, but his grandma started rubbing his chest and praying, and boom he was alive. I believe God has a bigger plan for him than he can even begin to IMAGINE. Edit: In June of 2020, they were completely cured of EVERYTHING
Alexa & Jacob Moreno call answers prayers and more than just one way each and every day Believing and knowing that his plan was there before we know it
I am 15 when I was separated from my family. I realized that being far away from your family is so hard, because honestly, I literally have no one. I have no one to talk about my problems, I have no one when I'm so down, when I'm hopeless, when things go wrong, when all of them is against me. Going home from school without mother and father, how I miss going home then seeking where my mother is. Even in a crowded place I feel so empty. But then I have learned a lot of things, what's right from wrong, controlling my emotions, and participating in God's ministry. Then, I realize that im so blessed since I'm just a child, because I felt God is always there for me, even in my worst and bad times he's always their protecting me. He never forsake me. This sufferings is worth it because it's not just for me. It's also for my family and I know I'm not alone till the end because God is always right beside me.
@ Lorie Anne Dote - strength comes through grace, faith & love. First, always live through personally loving you. El Rio - is The Master seeing all that you are facing. There will be times that uncertainty & trials will draw us closer to God. Believe with full positivity that your destiny has more for you. You must be your #1 cheerleader- 'I can do, I can live, I can face' .. anything for my strength comes from above The Master that grants you breath daily. Lean on The written Word, listen to encouraging Christian music, always seek the light of The Lord & see yourself mentally where you want to go. God feeds positive dreams & sometimes The Master builds them up beyond where you imagined. Walk by faith Lorie Ann Dote .. May you always live with joy & happiness.
I have recently been diagnosed with severe anxiety and have wanted to end my life so many times, but i am not going to. This song has helped me so much. I am only 13 and I know that God is my savior and always will be!
+Emma Shelton The worst battles are for the best, strongest and most talented soldiers. Remember so when you feel like you cant fight no more. Your strength comes from above, so its never ending. You're his precious little princess and He holds you in his arms every time you cry. You'll find His peace. Just hang on and you'll see his light shining upon your life.
amen. same here. anxiety and depression, but I have found peace in the lord. he calms me and heals all. pray to god with faith and know you'll be blessed. I'll be praying for you
I too lost both my parents, my dad this past December, 4 days before Christmas. I realized I was nobody's little girl anymore, I felt so alone. God gently reminded I am his child and very much loved! Bless you brother
My father on earth is in the hospital so I'm currently crying out to my father in heaven asking why this happened. Then suddenly like a scream in my head it told me to watch this and now I know that god is in control.. Thank you Casting Crowns. And please pray for me I'm just a kid. If you are reading this part that I'm typing right now, then thank your for taking your time. Thank you for everyone down there that helped me through this. When I read back through this today I was truly amazed and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I lost my husband last June, I didn't want to go on living. Satan had me convinced to take my life. I prayed and the Lord started working. I heard this song....and starting crying. I decided to Just be held instead of trying to hold on. Thank you Jesus for holding me.
+Alma Branham Thank you so much for the replies. I am still struggling hard. I miss my soulmate, best friend, love of my life. I am struggling to live. I am only existing. Losing 6 family members in 2015 has spiraled my life. Especially the loss of my husband and sister. Thank you for the prayers. May God bless you all.
I just lost my nephew and my mom was given a year left to live among going through what happened to me as a kid. I can’t stop listening to this song it’s helping to mend the feeling of broken
The song did not make me cry but after reading the comments and seeing how much everyone needs Jesus and healing i was sobbing and btw i pray for alot of people who ask for prayer for one thing or another.
I want to start Chrisitan schools. I am in seminary and it seems like no one cares about schools. K-12 are needed. I have a family and need to provide. Please pray God allows me to do both. Thank you.
This song has encouraged me so much. About 6 years ago my husband was very sick , 40 days in the hospital. The Lord really worked in him during that time. He was a changed man , he had known the Lord... but he was just so touched by the Lord during those 40 days . This August we both got covid , he got really sick, he ended up in ICU and on a vent . He did not survive . 19 days of not being able to see him until the day he died. By God’s grace and mercy , we were allowed to be in the room with him for a while before they took him off the vent . We got to hold his hand , pray, and play music as he passed into glory . I am so happy for him , he is with the Lord, whom he loves so much. But we are heartbroken . My life seems like it is falling apart, I know the Lord is working and putting it back the way he wants it . This is a hard journey, often a scary one as well . Trying to keep my eyes on the Lord. Asking him to hold and comfort my broken heart .. trying not to be in control, but to surrender to His will and purpose .. to just be held .
Casting Crowns Scars In Heaven, I'm so sorry for your loss, God is with you all the time and he hear's our cries, much love and prayers for you that he comfort you ❤️
Oh Sweetie this is my story too. I also lost my husband to Covid. I am praying for you just don't let go of the Lord's hand. He will get us both thru this 😢
After 7 brain surgeries, 6 this year alone ,2 were double brain surgeries. I listen to this song and have to give My life and illness to God. what else do I have ? one day I will be out of this misery I am in, and in the Arms of Jesus , healed and no pain. but for now songs like this get me by.
Susan Ghent Crying by Reading your Story: so sorry for you! May Jesus dry your tears and give you peace , strength and Joy for every day , hug You💞- one sister from germany 😘
I feel the same, dear Sister. But God always holds us, we are loved and never alone though still I feel the same. That is the Devil whispering his lies. Jesus will not leave us Orphans. Jesus will come for us for we are His Children. ❤🙏👑
Listen to this Everytime I get anxiety cause I give it All to God to be held by him and let him deal with my anxiety and fight it for me. Then it seems to die down I listen to this song. Thank you casting crowns!🙏🙏🙏😁
Luke 17:6 - speak to the disease and do not give it power over you. I am 10 months cancer-free thanks to our strong and loving Father in Heaven. God bless and keep you! Praying.
I only found these songs because my dad wrote a letter in 2016 and said to listen to some of these songs I barely get to see him he been in prison for awhile I'm only eleven so I went to kinder 1 2 3 4 5 grade without seeing him it going to be sixth grade.
This song changed my life cause I'm only going into the 7th grade and my entire life I have grown up without an dad. He decided to leave me and my mom so I have grown up without him. I felt so forgotten until I listened to this song. I gave my life to christ because of this song. Thank u so much! ❤
Since the song started it made me cry. I have realized Ican't control all the things, I need to stop worring about everything and give it to the Lord.He is the only one you should be held by. Amazing song!
my parents are going through a devorse and i have been mad at myself and god. i felt like my world was blowing up. then this came on the radio and that my worlds not falling apart its falling into place. im only 10
I heard this song on the radio while my parents were getting a divorce and I would just sit and listen to music like this but this came on it rocked me. Hey, stay strong I'll pray for you.
God never gives us more than we can handle. don't be mad at yourself. its not your fault and everything's going to be ok. Stay strong little guy already said a prayer for you.
+Walker Andrews Hi Walker my name is Duane and I'm 52 I just wanted to say that you're not alone I am here praying for you. Although we may not see it God has a plan for you, and he also has people thinking about you and praying for you. I love you and God loves you, stay strong, God has you in his arms.
In October of 2015, my son was arrested and then sentenced to 6+ years in prison. As a Mom, I was heartbroken and feeling helpless. I was always taking care of others and 'fixing things". But I learned to surrender while listening to this song. It seemed to come on my car radio everyday and eventually I trusted that God would take care of me and my son and I "could just be held". So grateful!
Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Place your yoke on my shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves because my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 (GW) ❣
Someone smarter than me told me, "when you give it to God, don't take it back!" now a day before surgery i'm thinking of this song and reminding myself, Don't Take It Back!
This song helped me and our family asmy dear beautiful mummy was passing from her to the arms of her wonderful saviour . I have shared it many times with those I luv who r hurting . Even in the depths n torrents of this earthly life our faithful living God never ever leave us He is holding us thro the hills and the valleys of life . Isaiah 41 v10 . God bless strengthen n encourage n comfort you always
im struggling at school (christian school) the teachers are failing me the kids are mean to me and everything is just a disaster until my mother showed me this song and it was amazing how instantly i knew God was in the room and every thing was and is going to be ok no matter how hard the kids and teachers go i will push out to the end!
Made me think of a friend I haven't seen in years. He's in and out of jail now, but one of the last times we hung out, we listened to this song. We were both crying by the end of it. Oh Lord, please help him. Please Lord, please help Chris.
A year later and here I am on a different account, still never forgetting Chris. I still pray that God saves him, and that I might be able to witness to Chris one more time
Never give up! Continue to share God with him! You’ve planted a seed, he cried, he knows his flaws tell to ask God to forgive him and He will! God’s gift is for everyone! He came for all of us sinner’s, we are not perfect, for we fall every day! His Grace is sufficient so ask and you will receive! 🙏🙏🙏
Most of life's most important lessons are learned in reflection. God is always there. That's been the one constant in my life. I got sidetracked with the carnal world. God's placed a couple people in my life to show me the way. God is good 😊

Casting Crowns is probably the best Christian band ever, because their lyrics are really anointed. You can notice it's not some short verse repeated over and over, but thoughtful and biblical phrases that go deep and grow roots. Thank God for this amazing band.
God is who He said He is!! Don't doubt the Lord's character! Look at Jesus and the Holy Spirit! He was loving and faithful to His word to give them to us for us! God loves us!
too be honest i am at a hurdle in my christian life and im only 15, if anyone sees this please pray for me i really need to see the light so that i can shine it. These lyrics really talk to me as i currently just need to be HELD.
Hey Steven! I'm happy to see your honesty and openness, it must have been quite a step for you to come clean like this. I've been in that stage as well as you, I am only 16, but I can tell you one thing my man... Jesus died for your sins! God loves you so intensely for who you are, but loves you too much to let you remain that person! He is willing to change you in the name of Jesus! If you walk in faith, you can move mountains in Jesus' name! If I think about the story of moses and his people, I am amazed by their faith! Just imagine... The king has decided that after many many years, your huge extended family can finally leave the country where they were in captivity for a long time! So everybody is happy to be leaving and they go quickly, before the king changes his mind. But when they have finally left the desert, they come to a huge sea! And they're like... God... Seriously? You've lead us out of Egypt and now we're stuck here, with the army of the pharaoh chasing us.. And moses lifts up his hands, places his staff in the water and the sea splits into two! And we're not just talking about a little pool, it's a RIVER! It must've been very deep, like hundreds of meters! It must've been scary for the people to walk there, because the sea could come crashing down to you any moment! But they had faith, and God led them through! It was scary, but afterwards you come to the conclusion it was His awestruck wonder! His powerful saving! Now, I don't know if you've ever had a red-sea moment like this that you can look back on and say, wow! But I do know that God loves you intensely, and if you realize that with all of your heart, mind and soul... He has changed you! You can be the city on the hill for others to shine bright! I will pray for you my brother!
If you're ever having problems with your walk of faith, don't be scared to talk about it! There is always family or brothers and sisters in faith to talk with you about your struggles, so just try ;)
Stephen Beck Hi Stephen, I pray for you in the name of Jesus, that He reveals Himself to you. that God gives you so much light and so much wisdom. That you will have a personal relationship with God. That you will not go out there and seek the wrong stuff. You are at a wonderful age. You can determine your destiny now. There is a 10 year window period, example, what happens to you in the next 10 years depends on you, HOW you want it all to happen. When a person is disciplined and focused on God and God's Word, the Bible, then you will have WISDOM & DISCERNMENT. We are part of this world, but the decision in the end is still yours. Work hard, study diligently and become a leader in the field that you want to pursue. He will never leave or forsake you.
God bless you I pray in the name of Jesus that just as he drew me out of darkness by his unfailing love and his faithfulness he will do the same for you and i know because he loves us all and he said he came to save the world not condemn it. In Jesus name help this person. 🙏 Amen
My granddaughter who is 25 yrs old, mother of 2 found out she has breast cancer, God moved and it’s shrinking very quickly. We praise God for and are believing for complete healing!
"There's freedom in surrender." "Your world is not falling apart, it's falling into place." These lines struck me deeply. Surrender and allow God to position you in His perfect purpose.
For all GODS CHILDREN WHO FEEL ALONE, OR HURTING JUST KNOW GODS HOLDING ON TO YOU AND ISN'T FINISHED WITH YOU AND YOUR STORY .. YOUR LIFE WILL BE ABUNDANT LY BETTER JUST THE BEGINNING NOT THE END.
Today God sang to my sad soul through casting Crowns and this song. Despite the unknown with my living situation One this I do know is Gods grace and provisions always. So today I give him the glory and allow him to be my strength in my weakness. God bless all who need and find themselves wondering where he is…he is right there holding you through it all. I love you Jesus and you are my strength!! -christine❤🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am bawling right now. Please send prayers my way. I feel like my life is such a mess and I don't know what to do. My world is just crashing down around me and I feel helpless.
my 7 year old grand son likes this song. he thought it said "just be help". he was singing his little heart off. made me proud and joyful. thanks Casting Crowns.
We see so many hard workers out in this world- including ourselves -that sometimes, hard workers just won’t give anything a rest until it’s complete. Whenever that happens, God likes to tell us to let Him finish it, to just be held and let Him help you. He may put us through some very rough times, but it can be God’s way of saying “come to Me instead of relying on your own self.”
I’ve battled depression and a lot of anxiety in my life. I’m currently experiencing a really hard time right now. I just could use some prayers because I need God to come and intervene and make things better. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
God, hold me. I feel like my whole dreams are falling apart but you are God and you do what is right for me. Help me to accept your will. In Jesus name Amen.
It's amazing that when we don't know what to do or say, we don't have to do anything, all we need to do is just be held. Who ever is reading this, no matter what you've done or who you are, God loves you so much and won't let you go, just be held!
When I started in med school, this was my song for the whole year. And now 8 years after, as I take my board exam for the 4th time, it is the song for my season. Thank you Jesus for my comfort and refuge, to surrender every piece of me to you is the right choice.
My hubby and I were told that he had a terminal disease when he was 19. We were also told that the path that the disease took would determine how much time he had. For many years he did well. We deluded ourselves into believing that it was not true. Then he started having downward spirals. On the night of one of his worst spells, I heard this song and it literally brought me to my knees. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
I was just diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia which is also known as the suicide disease because of the unimaginable pain it produces. I ran away from God when I was in 10th grade. My best friend was my pastors son, he was a grade under me. He passed away during basketball practice at school and from that day till now I have been running but I've decided that it's time to stop running and kneel and just be held.
Be blessed and free. I see you.
Amen be held. Praying for complete deliverance in Jesus name!
Womp womp
I'm 71 years young, spent 22 years "running from God" and my humble advice is JUST BE HELD.
A miracle today Jesus?
I was a strong atheist. My mind could not accept the idea of a higher being even if I wanted to. On October 2018, I was in a tough situation in my life. And I was thinking to myself, I wish I could believe in a higher being so that I can turn to them. I looked up at the ceiling that day and said in arrogance and disbelief, "If you are there, show yourself/yourselves to me." I just laughed it off and slept.
On the eve of 4th of January 2019, I decided to take my own life and jump off the 5th floor. I was depressed to the bone, hopeless, and felt like the problems in my life were unsolvable. I was sitting on my bed next to the balcony, just crying and switching between apps on my phone to distract myself. I opened TH-cam and found this song on my recommendations. I thought it was weird since I do not listen to Christian music, so I opened the song and started listening to it.
Even though I did not believe in any word of it, I was desperate for any hope. So I just said, "I surrender", yet in disbelief. But in that moment, in a split of a second, in less than a blink of an eye; all of the suicidal thoughts, the depression, the sadness was gone. And it was all replaced with joy and peace that can never be described by words. The same tears of depression became tears of Joy. I FELT someone hugging me saying, "I have always been with you, and I am never leaving you."
There was an old Bible in the library next to the bed I was sitting on. So, I grabbed it and felt my hands being pushed to open certain pages. All the verses I laid my eyes on felt like they were tailored to me and made sense for the first time.
I was healed from depression that was killing me. I never had suicidal thoughts after this day. I still face a lot of difficult circumstances, but I am always at peace. Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest," and he never failed me.
Wow amazing story! Thank you for sharing ❤ God bless you and I am so happy you found God & have found a sense of renewed peace ❤
Love this testimony
Praise God
Hi. So nice to read your testimony, hope you found a great church and people that can help you daily through God
What a beautiful testimony. All glory to God!
I am 11 and I accepted jesus
God bless you! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 10 and God is my God.
Dont stop serving and loving him
🥰🥰
That's right you go young man don't let anyone say your too young I accepted Christ at nine and I knew exactly what I was doing God be with you brave young man for you will see heaven my friend see you soon at the marriage supper of the Lamb 🐑your courage gives me strength
Today is 83 days since I had my stroke. One of my best friends sent this to me. My heart is crying.
Ongoing prayers for you, dear Sister. I'm thankful you're still with us to share your witness. ❤🙏 🤗
Know people are praying. So am I. I believe for miracles for you. Lord, my sister and I believe for miracles. Encourage, comfort, Lord. This is not the end. Because YOU LIVE, Jesus. Amen.
bless you sister. God is good.
This is the song I clung to when I was going through a very difficult time in my life. Thank you!
My husband had a massive stroke 3 weeks ago. Hes alive by the grace of God but now I'm raising 2 kids alone, he's in rehabilitation life is so heavy. This song just shattered me.
I lost my mom about 2 months ago and my dad went crazy. I was their caregiver and made a very good money. But when all that happened I lost my most of money, which is really hard to do. My husband can't work because of a disability. If anyone out there can help me and pray for us. This song has helped me.
I want to thank you for this song. After the suicide of our youngest daughter in June 2018, this song "randomly" ended up in my husband's playlist. (No I don't believe it happened randomly, that is his word, I believe God used this song to reach him!) My husband was seriously backslidden, had been for years. He was dependant on alcohol and that was everything to him. Alcohol came before his marriage, his family, his job, his friends ... Long story short, he started playing this song over and over, and allowed God to hold him for the first time in years. I finally have the man I married back. He is once again a strong believer who is living for the Lord. Thank you for your faithfulness in singing for the Lord. You are a precious tool that God uses to reach the lost and hurting in this world. I pray for you often.
Y
God bless you both 🙏❤️
I'm so sorry YAHWEH loves you
Praise the LORD!
So sorry for the loss of your daughter 💔
"...Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place..."
"Your worlds not falling apart it's falling into place"
THANK YOU GOD FOR REASSURING ME💜✝
Amen! 🙏🙏🙏
may god be with you
freakin' rabbit
+Better Bunnies you make me laught:))))
Right I needed that at the time
Praise God. Not a tear is wasted.
Here's my story in a few sentences as a testimony. I hope that someone reads it. As a child I went to church. Then as a teen I lost my faith because of alcohol and false friends. Some years later I realized that this kind of life sucks. I even started a trainee as a Bible Teacher. In the middle of it I got ill with a tumor in my head. I thought my life would be over now, but I survived the operation. After a few years of working I got a second tumor in my stomach. It was operated, too and again I survived. Unfortunally the tumor came back again and now doctors can't help me anymore. But, after all, I still believe in Jesus. You can loose everything you have, but he is there from the beginning of your life until eternity.
1988deef hi i read your story one year later you texted it. How are you are you fine? Bless you!
That's God's work
@Faith Marmor You are so right. Thanks a lot!
@@ernie0310 I agree.
Praise God he's got you.
As a 13 year old who's battling depression and is hopeless. This song gives me hope. It tells me that there is more to live for when I dont know it. It tells me that God has got this even if my faith is starting to fall apart. This song tells me that God is always by my side and I'm not fighting this alone. That everything will be ok.
Amen sweetheart! It sure will be ok. You always cling to Jesus. Life won't always be easy, but with God I PROMISE you will get through ANYTHING. Keep his word close to your heart. That's where you get your wisdom. Prayers for you sweet girl. You are insanely loved by the God who holds the world in his hands. Don't forget that.
Don't cease praying. God hears and heals. I will be praying for you ❤️🙏
Sending so many prayers. Other songs that may speak to you are for king and country [ God only knows and David Goeke [ tell your heart to beat again. You are worthy and enough.
Exactly! There is SO much to live for....not only that you have people around you that truly love you. They may not tell you every day or when you need to hear, but they do. You are a brave person to be able to share your feelings right now. Be proud. Be happy. Keep the faith. Remember...God loves you unconditionally.
Amen. God hears the hopeless and gives them hope. My dad was diagnosed with cancer. I was scattered not knowing when to be strong and when to fall apart. He's clean and we're almost out of it but in that moment in that in-between I felt dead and empty. And the Lord showed this broken 15 year old where I was failing. Where I hid from my emotions and hid from him included. It's ok to be broken but be broken in Christ. Love ya sis or bro in Christ and everythings gonna be ok. ❤️
I almost walked away from the Lord,and I came to the awareness that he has not let me go.
He never does. Came close as well, (assuming) Brother. Decades of crap, always working to "figure it out." We simply can't, in my experience alone. Once I gave up my need for control & gave it to God, everything fell into place.
Failed military career, failed marriage, 16 years homeless (not consecutive), near starvation many times, near hypothermic many times, tip of the iceberg there but summation.
I gave it up, gave it to God. That's how we win. ❤🙏 🤗
AMEN ❤️ 🙏
Praise the Lord
Still my comfort song 10 years later❤
Satan wants to give us worry, let it go and just be held by Christ!!!
+Madeline Anne Russell Isn't that the truth. It is so hard when Satan gets into my head and tries to make me worry about the stupid wordly things that really don't matter when it comes to the big picture. Thanks for that encouragement
I'm a satanist and I really love this song.
+Brandon Kraft Praise Satan (these religious people amuse me)
+Brandon Kraft i am so glad this song touched you. God touched you.

"You're worlds not falling apart its falling into place" I can't even explain how much that means to me

I am 14, I am a believer. I try not to let the kids at my school influence me to do wrong. This world is getting darker and darker this world needs God! One of my favorite songs. I love Unspoken as well.
Seasha is unspoken by casting crowns.. i have never heard of it and im quite curious
Unspoken is another Christian band that is amazing.
That comment is old and I can see how that is confusing.
I'm so proud of you!
Seasha you are a blessing! You stay strong and stand firm on the Word of God! You are doing the right thing by not allowing anyone influence you. Peer pressure can be a tough thing but always you are a leader not a follower! One day you will lead someone to Christ and they to will be believers of God! Thank you for sharing.
Djv N Those words mean so much to me, God bless you! I had a hard day today at work, you made my day and put a smile on my face. I’m so happy God sent you to me.
I'm on the edge of giving up and then I decided to look for a Christian song that could give me answers. This song left me speechless. I'm crying the whole time I'm watching this. These words in this song is exactly what I need right now. Thanks God for holding me tonight.
+Florayde Ken Bernardez And He will continue to hold you! He gave you this song when you needed it most. That's God saying, "Here my child, I know you need this". How awesome is that, that the God of everything takes time for us, and gives us what we need when we need it!
Carol Lugg He indeed helped me through my anxiety! Guess what? I'm free from anxiety now. Things has gotten better.
+Florayde Ken Bernardez Me also. :)
Same here!! God bless you!
God always knows and is always on time. That you God for you wonder and love
Isaiah 41:10
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Thank you Lord Jesus
Amen
Thank you, God! Thank you, Daddy!
Hallelujah we have place in Heaven!!
Amen

I’ve listening to Casting Crowns for years now, and I just barely realized what this song truly means. The lyricism basically describes how when our lives are falling apart, and we try so hard to keep it together, we forget about God and how he sent Jesus to save us from this pain or stress we feel, by dying on the cross. However sometimes when our lives are still falling apart, we pray for a miracle to seen immediately, instead of having faith for things hoped for. We hold on, instead of truly giving, or casting, our anxieties unto God. This song just is great reminder that we area not alone in the world, because God is with us. Also, that there are also other fellow Christians that are willing to pray for you and hear you out.
This song was so important to me when I went through a divorce 8 years ago - my wife Catherine decided she didn't want to be married any more. She made the announcement to me and my boys five days before our 40th anniversary. We had had a good marriage, even a great marriage most of the time. However, Catherine has always been a very independent woman with.strong personality. I have always been attracted to people with strong personalities. When she divorced me, she said, "It's not about you Cliff, it's just that I'm getting older, and I know that I would be happier if I wasn't married". I wasn't prepared at all for that announcement. Yikes! I couldn't get my head around believing that we were actually going to be divorced and for a while I was convinced that I would be able to change her mind. Nope, that wasn't going to happen. I remember being in the court room and the judge declaring that we were officially divorced. I went into a severe depression and my mind just shut down. I listened to this song over and over and over. I was just barely 'holding on' and found comfort in the thought that I could "just be held". I was a retired middle school band director/teacher who was driving school bus and motor coaches all over the northwestern United States and Canada. I found that I was having difficulty even finding my way across my hometown of Missoula, Montana. I eventually had to give up my professional driving. I was such a lost soul. I became suicidal for a while and kept a loaded hunting rifle in my living room closet, which I would take out every once in a while. I had enough fortitude to realize that suicide was a 'coward's way out' and took all of my guns over to a friend's house and asked him to store theml for me until I was better. I eventually ended up in a lock-down mental hospital for 2 weeks and then was placed in an 'assisted-living' facility where I lived for 3 1/2 years, I hated being there and felt like I was in prison, especially during CoVid lockdown times. But I had good friends who visited me and listened to me and prayed with me. And over the course of time, Jesus healed me. Too much to go into, but when I requested my neurologist to allow me to take the neurology test again (a six hour test), because I knew I was better. After it was scored, my neurologist set up an appointment and told me that he couldn't believe that I was the same person that he had seen 3 1/2 years previously. He said he had gone over the test 3 times and could not find any evidence of neurological dysfunction. He told me that in his 40-some years of practice that he had only had a couple of previous patients make such a dramatic turn around. I left the assisted-living place and am now teaching band to middle school students and driving school buses again. I just want to say that this song ministered so deeply to me, when I was really hurting. Jesus has become everything to me and is using me to minister to others who are going through their own trials. I have confidence that if Jesus healed me, they can also find His healing in their own circumstances. OK, that's all for now. Cliff
That is a wonderful testimony brother, and I’m so happy to hear of the awesome work God did with your healing!
My best friend sent me this song a while ago, and I’ve only just listened to it… It is exactly what I needed to hear, but I can’t ‘hear’ it in the way I would like to. As with you, my brain has shut down, and I’m finding it so difficult to even feed myself.
I cannot even open my Bible, which says a lot about where I am… I know I need to be in a psych hospital, but the conditions here in Australia aren’t the best inside those places. My legs and body have been so weak for so long, so it’s so difficult to do anything. I’m quite sure it’s all psychological. I’m afraid of letting go, but I have to; and allow the Lord to hold me…
I trust you’re doing well right now, and are in the place where the Lord wants you to be… God bless you, and thank you for sharing 🙏
❤
Wow, your testimony touched my soul! You could write a book and I would buy the first copy! It’s amazing how reading all the people’s testimonies can heal many of us. Thank you for sharing your story.
Cliff! What a story! When I read it TWICE, I to realized that there is something to live for! Even if it is passing on the word of God
Thank you for helping me off of MY edge.

Just be held!

Hello hurting person. You are not alone. God is with you. This song has helped me so much, God has held me for so long, and has never let go. Sometimes it seems like he's losing his grip on my life, but he has always been holding me. If u r hurting, tired, annoyed, sad, angry, or lonely, please comment. I probably can't help much, only God can really help and heal u, but I will listen and pray for u. I'm here for u. Beautiful stranger, don't hesitate to comment. I love you, and I would love to listen to u.
Hello Jax, I'm holding it all together on the outside because everybody needs me strong as my wife battles cancer. On the inside... not so much.
Thanks Jax. Prayer is definitely a part of my daily life. Since you've seen cancer up close you understand how dangerous it is for someone undergoing chemo to get an infection, even a cold. I never get sick but this winter I prayed that even the smallest cold should be sent to me instead of my wife. I ended up seeing a doctor for the first time in a decade but my wife didn't have so much as a sniffle all winter despite the fact that chemo was wiping out her immune system.
Amen! Praise God for that! I keep praying that she will grow stronger and healthier day by day!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ✋🏻
im kinda lonely but my mother made me feel better, the spirit isnt that bad anymore i think
Hiya! Thank you for this wonderful comment god bless you! I struggle with anxiety and just fear in general. So I would love prayer thank you so much!!!!!!
Please pray for my beautiful mother. She has stage 4 breast cancer. she's been going through chemotherapy treatment and God is so good. The doctor says the cancer is 60% gone away. I continue pray for complete healing. I appreciate any one who reads this if they can take a moment and pray for my mom. God bless you all! :)
Praying for you mother! May God heal her soon!
+Fabiola Prince Amen! thank you for praying, God bless you! :)
She's doing really well. The doctor says she's a miracle. I'm literally crying right now. God is so good. I love you Jesus, my Lord and savior!

This song is so awesome as i am at work i am listening to it and i finally actually listened to the words i have been going through some rough times like all of us. But after listening to this song i am from hear on out giving my whole life to GOD.
My husband and best friend in the world died of cancer last month and today it actually hit me that he is really gone and I have to live life without him. I felt so broken this morning and God seemed so far away that all I could do was cry. I was out driving around when I heard this song on the radio and it just ministered to me like nothing else could! I have been trying to be strong for everyone but inside I have felt so lost and so alone. When I got home I got on my knees and just gave it all up to the Lord because I cannot walk this journey alone. I know now that it's okay to be where I am in this journey and just be held
hallelujah I pray that the Lord will bring comfort in the mist of this situation I too lost a loved one a few yrs ago my mom had passed sway when I wad only 14 and I rememebr crying out to God because the pain and hurt seeemed unbearable may God bring comfort as he has brought to me and has allowed me to.minsiter to others because of what I have gone through
I'm so sorry you lost your husband! 😢 my heart aches for you! Please know that God loves you so much and He knows your suffering and cares for the widows!!!
Just be held
always believe in god and anything is possible
you will be fine god loves you and you are not alone.a friend danny
Wow, I scrolled through these comments and see MANY MANY stories from very young people 8-16 years old and my heart is breaking for each of you...please listen closely to the words of this song, Jesus is your answer, I came out of a lot myself and couldn't have done it without Jesus
love it.do something to you on the inside
Albert vd Westhuizen i hope i will never forget that kids problems matter too... infact possibly more. for the fact that they are influenced to do things and if they are ignored they would be more likely to go deeper and deeper into the society of lies
Anybody listening to this during the pandemic?
Yep
Yeah I needed it right now
Yes I’m always listening too it it is one of those songs were the words really speak too me
ALL THE TIME!
Yes and I hold onto it tightly.
God works in marvelous way to help me thru hard times and good times I'm really glad I got God in my heart he's the best person I ever talked to and he is in my heart i song this song at my heart grandmas funeral keep your heads up guys and just talk to him he will listen and talk back you might not hear it but he listen for sure
I am a new believer. I fought depression since I was 12, and I'm now 17. For 4 years, I didn't believe in God, even though I grew up in a devout Christian house... I battled sadness everyday, and I pushed God away. I was going to commit suicide 2 years ago, and my last words were, "God if you're real. Give me something to live for." Not even an hour after, I got the news that my nephew was being born. God gave me him, and that was the day I started believing again. :)) I'm so glad I let God back in. He's my everything!
That's incredible! God bless you!
that is incredible! God us always waiting for you to see all the blessings He has in store for you. you can help others find God through your testimony!
+Cheyenne Autumn I was the same way but for 10 years and i just recently found God

When I had Stage 3 cancer and was going through treatment and felt so bad, this was my prayer: just hold me and show me what to do. He did. He has healed me and has plans for me. If you’re going thru a tough time, know that He loves you and has a plan for you. Just be held. ❤️Jane
❤🙏
I, too, had stage 3 cancer, in 2014.....& my daughter sent this song to me.....
I’ve cried many times, while listening to these truths, & felt her love, as well as my Saviour’s comfort....Praise God!😇🙏

When I had cancer this one of my songs.
I have cancer but it is blood and marrow
My dad and his wife have COVID, but are GETTING BETTER, : ) My dad also had 8 cardiac arrests in October of 2019 and survived when the doctors thought he wouldn't, and when he was born, the doctors thought he was dead, but his grandma started rubbing his chest and praying, and boom he was alive. I believe God has a bigger plan for him than he can even begin to IMAGINE.
Edit: In June of 2020, they were completely cured of EVERYTHING
AMEN!!!!
Wow! God bless y’all always and forever!💖
Alexa & Jacob Moreno call answers prayers and more than just one way each and every day Believing and knowing that his plan was there before we know it
WOW GOD IS GOOD! PRAYING FOR YOU! AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
How they are doing?
Trust my glory Jesus Christ Amen ♥️😇🙏❤️
I am 15 when I was separated from my family.
I realized that being far away from your family is so hard, because honestly, I literally have no one. I have no one to talk about my problems, I have no one when I'm so down, when I'm hopeless, when things go wrong, when all of them is against me. Going home from school without mother and father, how I miss going home then seeking where my mother is. Even in a crowded place I feel so empty. But then I have learned a lot of things, what's right from wrong, controlling my emotions, and participating in God's ministry. Then, I realize that im so blessed since I'm just a child, because I felt God is always there for me, even in my worst and bad times he's always their protecting me. He never forsake me. This sufferings is worth it because it's not just for me. It's also for my family and I know I'm not alone till the end because God is always right beside me.
@ Lorie Anne Dote - strength comes through grace, faith & love. First, always live through personally loving you. El Rio - is The Master seeing all that you are facing. There will be times that uncertainty & trials will draw us closer to God. Believe with full positivity that your destiny has more for you. You must be your #1 cheerleader- 'I can do, I can live, I can face' .. anything for my strength comes from above The Master that grants you breath daily. Lean on The written Word, listen to encouraging Christian music, always seek the light of The Lord & see yourself mentally where you want to go. God feeds positive dreams & sometimes The Master builds them up beyond where you imagined. Walk by faith Lorie Ann Dote .. May you always live with joy & happiness.
I have recently been diagnosed with severe anxiety and have wanted to end my life so many times, but i am not going to. This song has helped me so much. I am only 13 and I know that God is my savior and always will be!
+Emma Shelton God has great plans for you
Liz Juhnke thank you so much
+Emma Shelton The worst battles are for the best, strongest and most talented soldiers. Remember so when you feel like you cant fight no more. Your strength comes from above, so its never ending. You're his precious little princess and He holds you in his arms every time you cry. You'll find His peace. Just hang on and you'll see his light shining upon your life.
Eu Ag thank you a lot!

+NFSPlayer Thanks :)

LOVE THIS SONG😊❤ 24/7
My father on earth is in the hospital so I'm currently crying out to my father in heaven asking why this happened. Then suddenly like a scream in my head it told me to watch this and now I know that god is in control.. Thank you Casting Crowns. And please pray for me I'm just a kid. If you are reading this part that I'm typing right now, then thank your for taking your time. Thank you for everyone down there that helped me through this. When I read back through this today I was truly amazed and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, my brothers and sisters in Christ.
"I'm on the throne stop holding on and just be held." That means EVERYTHING to me.
Matthew Hansen - God will be with you! Believe..praying with you as well!

Bruh im younger im 14 XD JK
U might think ur alone but god is always be with u when i was sick and i prayed the next day i wasnt sick :)
I lost my husband last June, I didn't want to go on living. Satan had me convinced to take my life. I prayed and the Lord started working. I heard this song....and starting crying. I decided to Just be held instead of trying to hold on. Thank you Jesus for holding me.
+Alma Branham Amen!!! God bless you
+Alma Branham Thank you so much for the replies. I am still struggling hard. I miss my soulmate, best friend, love of my life. I am struggling to live. I am only existing. Losing 6 family members in 2015 has spiraled my life. Especially the loss of my husband and sister. Thank you for the prayers. May God bless you all.
I just lost my nephew and my mom was given a year left to live among going through what happened to me as a kid. I can’t stop listening to this song it’s helping to mend the feeling of broken
I love this song, amazing. ❤
The song did not make me cry but after reading the comments and seeing how much everyone needs Jesus and healing i was sobbing and btw i pray for alot of people who ask for prayer for one thing or another.
I want to start Chrisitan schools. I am in seminary and it seems like no one cares about schools. K-12 are needed. I have a family and need to provide. Please pray God allows me to do both. Thank you.
This song has encouraged me so much. About 6 years ago my husband was very sick , 40 days in the hospital. The Lord really worked in him during that time. He was a changed man , he had known the Lord... but he was just so touched by the Lord during those 40 days .
This August we both got covid , he got really sick, he ended up in ICU and on a vent . He did not survive . 19 days of not being able to see him until the day he died. By God’s grace and mercy , we were allowed to be in the room with him for a while before they took him off the vent . We got to hold his hand , pray, and play music as he passed into glory . I am so happy for him , he is with the Lord, whom he loves so much. But we are heartbroken . My life seems like it is falling apart, I know the Lord is working and putting it back the way he wants it . This is a hard journey, often a scary one as well . Trying to keep my eyes on the Lord. Asking him to hold and comfort my broken heart .. trying not to be in control, but to surrender to His will and purpose .. to just be held .
Casting Crowns Scars In Heaven, I'm so sorry for your loss, God is with you all the time and he hear's our cries, much love and prayers for you that he comfort you ❤️
@@crystylev4571 Thank you 💞
I am so sorry for you, I hope you have grown to be a better person then what you were
Oh Sweetie this is my story too. I also lost my husband to Covid. I am praying for you just don't let go of the Lord's hand. He will get us both thru this 😢
After 7 brain surgeries, 6 this year alone ,2 were double brain surgeries.

I just wish Jesus would hold me😔 I feel unlovable and alone
I feel the same, dear Sister. But God always holds us, we are loved and never alone though still I feel the same. That is the Devil whispering his lies. Jesus will not leave us Orphans. Jesus will come for us for we are His Children. ❤🙏👑
Your Christian family is here for you. It's okay. Know the enemy can never take what Jesus has given us. Nothing can take his love away from you

WOW, amazing words and a beautiful song... Amen.
This is such a good song in these Corona times. I feel God's call in these times; "Be still and know that I am God." "Let go and just be."
I only found these songs because my dad wrote a letter in 2016 and said to listen to some of these songs I barely get to see him he been in prison for awhile I'm only eleven so I went to kinder 1 2 3 4 5 grade without seeing him it going to be sixth grade.
@@361Renzo my dad left me when I was 1 and he just came back in 6th grade I'm praying for you
Amen Amen 💛🌼
Currently my personal life more than this "thing" out there causing many peoples hearts to fail them in fear. 😔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This song changed my life cause I'm only going into the 7th grade and my entire life I have grown up without an dad. He decided to leave me and my mom so I have grown up without him. I felt so forgotten until I listened to this song. I gave my life to christ because of this song. Thank u so much! ❤
I felt the same!!!! God told me many times: Be still and know that I am God"
I love this song I'm a single mum and getting baptised soon 🙌
Since the song started it made me cry. I have realized Ican't control all the things, I need to stop worring about everything and give it to the Lord.He is the only one you should be held by. Amazing song!
He is our father and we are his children. . Hang on just be held. He's there beside us.
my parents are going through a devorse and i have been mad at myself and god. i felt like my world was blowing up. then this came on the radio and that my worlds not falling apart its falling into place. im only 10
I heard this song on the radio while my parents were getting a divorce and I would just sit and listen to music like this but this came on it rocked me. Hey, stay strong I'll pray for you.
+Akayla Mahaffey thank you
+Walker Andrews stay strong bud :) ill pray for you
God never gives us more than we can handle. don't be mad at yourself. its not your fault and everything's going to be ok. Stay strong little guy already said a prayer for you.
+Walker Andrews Hi Walker my name is Duane and I'm 52 I just wanted to say that you're not alone I am here praying for you. Although we may not see it God has a plan for you, and he also has people thinking about you and praying for you. I love you and God loves you, stay strong, God has you in his arms.
Jeremiah 32:27 "Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?" Almighty God can heal anything - permanently!
In October of 2015, my son was arrested and then sentenced to 6+ years in prison. As a Mom, I was heartbroken and feeling helpless. I was always taking care of others and 'fixing things".
But I learned to surrender while listening to this song. It seemed to come on my car radio everyday and eventually I trusted that God would take care of me and my son and I "could just be held". So grateful!
Keep on trusting Him😇
And he is probably still in jail to this very day
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust
Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Place your yoke on my shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves because my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 (GW) ❣
Someone smarter than me told me, "when you give it to God, don't take it back!" now a day before surgery i'm thinking of this song and reminding myself, Don't Take It Back!
Don't worry, he won't! I can assure you of that!
The Lord is coming in this generation, we shall see Christ soon. So hold on and keep the commandments, reject hate and embrace forgiveness and ❤
This song helped me and our family asmy dear beautiful mummy was passing from her to the arms of her wonderful saviour . I have shared it many times with those I luv who r hurting . Even in the depths n torrents of this earthly life our faithful living God never ever leave us He is holding us thro the hills and the valleys of life . Isaiah 41 v10 . God bless strengthen n encourage n comfort you always
Casting Crowns... Just Be Held....
im struggling at school (christian school) the teachers are failing me the kids are mean to me and everything is just a disaster until my mother showed me this song and it was amazing how instantly i knew God was in the room and every thing was and is going to be ok no matter how hard the kids and teachers go i will push out to the end!
+Kaitlyn Balcom your world's not falling apart it's falling into place :)
+Kaitlyn Balcom Sounds rough, God be with you. I wish I could relate, but I went through Public School, not the same thing.
Be strong!
+Kaitlyn Balcom
2 Corinthians 12:10.......Be encouraged!!!!
Sad seems like a Christian school wouldn't be that way; ( Hold you're head high you are a child of God ♡
Made me think of a friend I haven't seen in years. He's in and out of jail now, but one of the last times we hung out, we listened to this song. We were both crying by the end of it. Oh Lord, please help him. Please Lord, please help Chris.
Praying for your friend, Chris.
A year later and here I am on a different account, still never forgetting Chris. I still pray that God saves him, and that I might be able to witness to Chris one more time
@@lesssolidlard83 I feel the same way about a friend of mine. I will pray for your friend Chis.
@@fredquack7749 Thank you very much
Never give up! Continue to share God with him! You’ve planted a seed, he cried, he knows his flaws tell to ask God to forgive him and He will! God’s gift is for everyone! He came for all of us sinner’s, we are not perfect, for we fall every day! His Grace is sufficient so ask and you will receive! 🙏🙏🙏
Most of life's most important lessons are learned in reflection. God is always there. That's been the one constant in my life. I got sidetracked with the carnal world. God's placed a couple people in my life to show me the way. God is good 😊
my dad was just buried today this song means everything to me thank you so much.
God bless your family
God bless you. God is holding you.❤You are never alone.

Casting Crowns is probably the best Christian band ever, because their lyrics are really anointed. You can notice it's not some short verse repeated over and over, but thoughtful and biblical phrases that go deep and grow roots. Thank God for this amazing band.
Most their songs I think are from their personal experience because Mark Hall had cancer. They have successfully removed it thank God.
chrizelse Yep
it's not falling apart it's falling into place!
Amen
God is who He said He is!! Don't doubt the Lord's character! Look at Jesus and the Holy Spirit! He was loving and faithful to His word to give them to us for us! God loves us!
too be honest i am at a hurdle in my christian life and im only 15, if anyone sees this please pray for me i really need to see the light so that i can shine it. These lyrics really talk to me as i currently just need to be HELD.
Hey Steven!
I'm happy to see your honesty and openness, it must have been quite a step for you to come clean like this. I've been in that stage as well as you, I am only 16, but I can tell you one thing my man... Jesus died for your sins! God loves you so intensely for who you are, but loves you too much to let you remain that person! He is willing to change you in the name of Jesus! If you walk in faith, you can move mountains in Jesus' name! If I think about the story of moses and his people, I am amazed by their faith! Just imagine... The king has decided that after many many years, your huge extended family can finally leave the country where they were in captivity for a long time! So everybody is happy to be leaving and they go quickly, before the king changes his mind. But when they have finally left the desert, they come to a huge sea! And they're like... God... Seriously? You've lead us out of Egypt and now we're stuck here, with the army of the pharaoh chasing us.. And moses lifts up his hands, places his staff in the water and the sea splits into two! And we're not just talking about a little pool, it's a RIVER! It must've been very deep, like hundreds of meters! It must've been scary for the people to walk there, because the sea could come crashing down to you any moment! But they had faith, and God led them through! It was scary, but afterwards you come to the conclusion it was His awestruck wonder! His powerful saving! Now, I don't know if you've ever had a red-sea moment like this that you can look back on and say, wow! But I do know that God loves you intensely, and if you realize that with all of your heart, mind and soul... He has changed you! You can be the city on the hill for others to shine bright!
I will pray for you my brother!
thanks man :)
If you're ever having problems with your walk of faith, don't be scared to talk about it! There is always family or brothers and sisters in faith to talk with you about your struggles, so just try ;)
Stephen Beck Hi Stephen, I pray for you in the name of Jesus, that He reveals Himself to you. that God gives you so much light and so much wisdom. That you will have a personal relationship with God. That you will not go out there and seek the wrong stuff. You are at a wonderful age. You can determine your destiny now. There is a 10 year window period, example, what happens to you in the next 10 years depends on you, HOW you want it all to happen. When a person is disciplined and focused on God and God's Word, the Bible, then you will have WISDOM & DISCERNMENT. We are part of this world, but the decision in the end is still yours. Work hard, study diligently and become a leader in the field that you want to pursue. He will never leave or forsake you.
God bless you I pray in the name of Jesus that just as he drew me out of darkness by his unfailing love and his faithfulness he will do the same for you and i know because he loves us all and he said he came to save the world not condemn it. In Jesus name help this person. 🙏 Amen
My granddaughter who is 25 yrs old, mother of 2 found out she has breast cancer, God moved and it’s shrinking very quickly. We praise God for and are believing for complete healing!
Amen!
I'm. 11 and have lots of stress and this helped me
May your kingdom come and may your will be done as in heaven and on Earth. Amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear Lord never let go . You know what's going on and I'm trusting that things will get better . I'm sorry Lord for disappointing you ...
"There's freedom in surrender."
"Your world is not falling apart, it's falling into place."
These lines struck me deeply. Surrender and allow God to position you in His perfect purpose.
For all GODS CHILDREN WHO FEEL ALONE, OR HURTING JUST KNOW GODS HOLDING ON TO YOU AND ISN'T FINISHED WITH YOU AND YOUR STORY .. YOUR LIFE WILL BE ABUNDANT LY BETTER JUST THE BEGINNING NOT THE END.
Today God sang to my sad soul through casting Crowns and this song. Despite the unknown with my living situation One this I do know is Gods grace and provisions always. So today I give him the glory and allow him to be my strength in my weakness. God bless all who need and find themselves wondering where he is…he is right there holding you through it all. I love you Jesus and you are my strength!! -christine❤🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Jesus is my Saviour. I am nothing without Him❤
I am bawling right now. Please send prayers my way. I feel like my life is such a mess and I don't know what to do. My world is just crashing down around me and I feel helpless.
I'm praying for you.
my 7 year old grand son likes this song. he thought it said "just be help". he was singing his little heart off. made me proud and joyful. thanks Casting Crowns.
Be Blessed...let your heart be joyful...Praise The lord.
that was so beautiful I'm crying 😢😌 tears of joy tiers of joy
Dora Delgado I hope your grandson has a beautiful voice my name is JC
Awesome
I have been struggling with emotions lately and I accepted Jesus Christ who has helped me
We see so many hard workers out in this world- including ourselves -that sometimes, hard workers just won’t give anything a rest until it’s complete. Whenever that happens, God likes to tell us to let Him finish it, to just be held and let Him help you. He may put us through some very rough times, but it can be God’s way of saying “come to Me instead of relying on your own self.”
I’ve battled depression and a lot of anxiety in my life. I’m currently experiencing a really hard time right now. I just could use some prayers because I need God to come and intervene and make things better.
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Prayers given, Brother. ❤🙏 🤗
You're not alone, stop holding on, and just be held! Jesus has this!!
Powerful. That is my only thought on this song, and band
God, hold me. I feel like my whole dreams are falling apart but you are God and you do what is right for me. Help me to accept your will. In Jesus name Amen.
“You’re worlds not falling apart it’s falling into place” Such a powerful and inspirational line, I get chills
It's amazing that when we don't know what to do or say, we don't have to do anything, all we need to do is just be held. Who ever is reading this, no matter what you've done or who you are, God loves you so much and won't let you go, just be held!
When I started in med school, this was my song for the whole year. And now 8 years after, as I take my board exam for the 4th time, it is the song for my season. Thank you Jesus for my comfort and refuge, to surrender every piece of me to you is the right choice.
My world is not falling apart God is showing me where I'm supposed to be
I love this song so much i feel God's love for me
this is such amazing song. you always feel God when you listen. he has helped me threw so much I'm so glad I have him in my life
If only our world could be held, but most people don't want to be...
Love you Jesus 💓💓💓 lord please keepy family healthy and safe in Jesus mighty name amen
