When I go through hard times and trials, God at times can feel so far away. One thing that helps me is music. I love to play songs that speak truth to my heart, that encourage me and remind me of Bible truths that I can so easily forget when in the middle of the furance.
For anyone who is in the furance right now - this next songs for you. (It´s a bit country and western, - bear with it - the words are fantastic!)

Hiya, Im too emotional to listen to this at the minute but Im kinda guessing this might be for me, so thank you x
Fantastic words Laura - you're right, worth persevering with the style:-)
He is God in both good & bad times, it's just much easier to believe it in the good times.
You know when Kristian was unemployed I made a CD of encouraging songs - like this, ones with fantastic truths and words. We played it all the time in the car and even at home and it just helped us so much.
Sometimes when you really need Gods word you just are not in any state to read it, concentrate on it, etc and so I find that songs help me. They help me remember truths (even Bible verses) and they encourage me and then I can go get my Bible and read....it´s like an opening for me.
So I am forever searching for new songs with great words to add to my CD.
I know what you mean Laura. When I was really ill and couldn't physically read at all, I used to listen to Christian music. However, I find soooo much of it sooo cheesey that I just can't bare it. So I had to be quite choosey. Even listening to rock music sapped my energy, so everything needed to be really gentle, even more frustrating.
However, when you are in need spiritually God does provide that need and whether it comes in the form of someone reading the Bible to you or music, God knows how to lift your heart.
