Today’s Monday Motivation songs come from Blessing Offor and Lauren Daigle.
Blessing’s song, “Your Love,” is a prayer for God to keep us in the middle of His love instead of always trying to push the limits and build our own happy endings. When we rest in His love, we find direction and purpose!
Lauren’s new song, “Be Okay,” is encouragement for the journey of life using Psalm 121.
