I participated in a leadership program a couple years ago and heard a quote I’ve never forgotten.

“Life favors the prepared.”

Although I believe it’s true, life is still full of unplanned, unexpected and unfavorable circumstances that can cause us to feel frustrated, angry and even defeated.

As I began my morning routine it seemed that the devil was determined to prevent me from completing my 10K steps for the day. I walked down the stairs and into rain. Plan B was to go to the gym and walk the treadmill. I got to the gym and realized I left my electronic access key in the garage as I normally do for my walks, but I had a backup in the car. I went to enter, the light turned green, but the door wouldn’t budge. I was locked out from the gym. I drove back to my apartment turned the music on my Power Playlist in my headphones even louder and continued to move without overreacting to everything going wrong. Each song that played was a reminder of who I am because of who Christ is in me and the ability I have to overcome whatever life throws in my path.

After cycling through songs to the point where the music ended and podcasts began, I thanked God for the ministry through music and wanted to share 10 songs that reminded me of the victory we have in Christ. We are more than conquerors through him who loves us and can do all things through Him who gives us strength.

Next time you’re preparing for a victory, recovering from a setback or need a reminder to walk in confidence, check out this playlist, linked on Spotify or add the songs to your playlist wherever you listen to music.
