My Worship Playlist

“Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakeable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping him with holy fear and awe.” —Hebrews 12:28

Over the years worship time (quiet time) is something that is extremely near and dear to my heart. It is something I’ve learned to prioritize because honestly it’s during these moments of worship that I hear God’s voice the clearest and am often healed. 

During every changing season of my life, times of worship have looked completely different but the feeling and the anointing hasn’t changed.

Before marriage my quiet time was often at a drop of a hat whenever I felt like it. There was so much freedom of time in that season I wish I would’ve appreciated a little more at the time. 

Shawn and I’s first year and a half of marriage my quiet time was usually an hour before work and the time it took for me to come home. I remember driving in my Scion tC praying and talking to God so joyously about the new season he had brought me to and what I looked forward to the most. One of my favorite albums that year was The Truth by Casey J, with Your Heart, Fill Me Up and Never Run Dry constantly playing on repeat.

Once Raelynn was born and I was staying at home full time, finding a way to prioritize quiet time (or really anything) was a little tricky. Not because I didn’t want to but because I was in a shaky place at the time and I had honestly forgotten about the sweet healing powers that met me traditionally in these moments. Once I somewhat got back into the swing of things I would have quiet time by softly playing How He Loves Us over my echo dot and praying while I rocked my sweet baby to sleep.

What was so special about this time was no matter how fussy she was during this moment she would instantly become so calm and drift right off to sleep. Although she’s too big to rock these days I still use my Worship Playlist (& this song) during moments she’s restless or just needs a minute to herself for a timeout. 

As for me, if I’m being honest I don’t have an exact routine to a T of quiet time with a very active toddler running around but it is still a priority to have everyday although it looks a little different every day. It’s first thing in the morning on days I’m feeling overwhelmed and like I can’t bring myself to put my feet on the ground. It’s in the car with Raelynn on days we’re running a kajillion errands. It’s during nap time on days we’ve had a rough morning and Raelynn has had too many tantrums to count. 

But one thing is for sure IT is happening. I’ve learned that it’s too important to not happen. And when it doesn’t happen I quickly feel anxiety and stress creeping in until I realize that I hadn’t met Him yet for Him to restore me and renew my mind.

So please feel free to jam to my playlist to your heart’s content if you’re looking for a new worship playlist.

& if you do decide to check it out, cut out all the distractions, stop where you’re at (no matter what condition you’re in) and let Him do the rest! <3
