We need a pick me up every now and then. Few things have the power to provide it than the right songs at the right time. That’s why, instead of offering one pick me up song for a #praylist, I’m concluding the Go from Low to Glow topic in our Year of Listening Up with seven great tunes to add.
Each one has a place in my soul where I can go to for a nudge when I am down in the dumps and feeling low. God has used these artists to offer a pick me up in many ways and over many times. I’d love for you to comment here and share a song that serves as a great pick me up when you are in the fiercest of life’s seasons.
My Pick Me Up #Praylist
Beyond Me/Get Back Up Again – Toby Mac
Toby Mac could have a Pick Me Up praylist all his own, so it’s hard to pinpoint just one. In this case, I am going with two. Beyond Me lays down a challenge to dream big and go after it with the confidence that God is your strength. It’s great to be “called to waters a little too deep” and to be “outmatched, outsized, the underdog in the fight of my life.”
Ge Back Up is a song that God put into my soundtrack of life at just the right time. Have you ever felt “wide awake in the middle of your nightmare” or absolutely defeated? Like an absolute failure? This is the perfect song to launch your pick me up.
We lose our way,
We get back up again
It’s never too late to get back up again,
One day you will shine again,
You may be knocked down,
But not out forever,
Few things have the power to provide it than the right songs at the right time. Here’s 7 pick me up songs to inspire your personal comeback.
This is the most recent of the songs on the pick me up praylist, and it’s a powerful one. Often, when you’re in the midst of battles, you forget that God’s in control That he will see you through.
Your love surrounds me in the eye of the storm
When the solid ground is falling out from underneath my feet
Audio Adrenaline – King of the Comebacks
Such a great little tune that empowers the underdog within each of us. If you’re ever doubting yourself, this is the song to queue up. They may very well have been writing this song with a dual intention given that the album it appeared on was the first AudioA album after a five-year hiatus that included a substantially different lineup.
Redeemed – Big Daddy Weave
While being stuck in the struggle, “haunted by ghosts that lived” in your past and “bound up in shackles” of failures? Sometimes it seems like there is no end in sight. It’s hard to remember that we can “stop fighting a fight that’s already been won.”
Alive – Pocket Full of Rocks
I was so disappointed when Pocket Full of Rocks disbanded because it meant they likely will never again crank out an awesome and powerful anthem like Alive. Inspired by Ephesians 2:4-5 and Zephaniah 3:17, it’s a profession of just how good and graceful God is and how we should life in light of that profession.
Loudly, I sing
Loudly, I live
Giving You all I have to give,
Until the world knows the Love that’s made me so alive
I’m alive, I’m alive!
Trust in You – Lauren Daigle
Christian living is no place for lone rangers. It’s discouraging when things don’t go according to your plan. It’s even harder to come to acceptance that God’s plans for you are much bigger. And even when we’re trusting and thinking we are on the path, when God doesn’t “move the mountains” or “part the waters” and leaving us looking for answers, it’s refreshing to know that we can cry out to him, trust in him and have assurance that our trust is not place in empty promises.
Come As You Are – David Crowder
“Earth has no sorrow – That heaven can’t heal.” This simple line has so much packed into it. Hope for hopeless, mercy in sadness, healing for the broken. No matter your life condition, no matter the burdens that you feel, you’ve got a place at God’s table where you can lay down your hurt and he’ll make everything okay.
What Pick Me Up Song is On Your Praylist
I’m betting there’s at least one song you’re shocked I didn’t add. That’s okay… music speaks to us all differently and I bet I have a very different pick me up praylist today from what I would have 5 years ago and probably even five years from now.
