Singing to God

Recently I have been working with another missionary to write songs. He has been giving me tips and advice on what works best in a song. In a song the most important part is the melody. Without a good melody the song is trash. It makes the song what it is.

Songs take a lot of work and thought put into it to make it a great one. Creating songs that are personal helps me get things off my chest and find peace in a lot of ways. Similar to creating songs to help me, I also pray to God. Prayers are like songs. We can be creative in any way. Sometimes though, I find myself going through the motions. Saying the same things a lot is like creating the same song over and over again. As I have tried praying about different things and really giving thanks to God I have come so much closer to him. So create your own songs to God. He loves to hear them.
