Through music, we can go from being absent and distant to loving and attached. In other words, we can go from “MIA to present.”
Through music, we can go from feeling overwhelmed by anxiety to calm and at peace with God.
When we feel alone and isolated, we can become afraid that if we really let people in, they won't accept us for who we are. But God wants fill the hole that loneliness creates.
Emotions can be overwhelming. Emotions were also overwhelming for the psalmists, but they had an outlet for understanding and expressing them – music!
