This song saved me. The first time I heard it I was driving. I hadda pull over, I was crying so uncontrollably. But I learned to let go and Let Jesus take the wheel. I'll be sober 35 years, Memorial Day Weekend, 2024. Jesus CAN WORK IT OUTπ

π’π’β€π’ Hello everyone it is June 21st 2023 and I am lying in the military VA hospital π₯ bed because of my kidneys failure and heart problems and I am listening to our brother Mr Donnie beautiful song and it is helping me to refined my faith because I have been so angry and mad with God our father because I blame him for my failing health problems, but I realize that I was wrong and as a military veteran I never thought that I would be going through this, I know that I have faith and love for our father God, so I ask for forgiveness and for anyone to just say a little prayer
@ivorylynch8889
Amen
