Mandisa left behind a great collection of music filled with uplifting messages. Check below for a few of my personal favorites. “Only The World” “Good Morning” “Overcomer” “You Wouldn’t Cry” “Praying For You”

Her death was announced on my phone and I went to KZbin and couldn’t find anything on her. Yet you came through with a great bio and tribute within hours! You have talked about your own struggle with depression and I know it is hard. But your journalism talent is the best! Continue doing what you do and I pray for more subs today and in the future. Amazing work and thank you.

She was so beautiful. No matter what soul. I love her and the way she handled the situation with Simon. I can't tell her to rest in peace bc I know she's walking around heaven all day and singing with the angels! Such a beautiful soul and voice. Sing, Mandisa, Sing!

I agree 100% . Every time you go for your annual dr.s visit, they get you in a small little room, look at their computer ,then ask, "Are you depressed?! Seriously, most depressed people aren't going to be truthful ,they are ashamed and don't want medicine controlling their minds. Or be titled . At least she was open about her struggles.

[@cupcake1406]

​@@tammybuscher5310 I agree with you. Many people feel ashamed about having to take medicine for depression and anxiety. I have seen and heard pastors shame people that are having mentally struggles and are in despair discourage them from seeking doctors. Many times you can pray, fast, have a group of people praying for you, fasting,read the Bible,etc. But you need medicine to treat the chemical imbalance in your brain in order to overcome the anxiety and depression. It is like is someone has diabetes, they have to check their blood sugars, Dr may increase or decrease the insulin based on their blood sugars. She was a wonderful woman of God.❤

Thank you for doing this wonderful tribute to Mandisa! What a beautiful woman and a beautiful spirit! As a plus sized black woman myself, her struggle with depression and being overweight hits home. I love that she eventually persevered beyond the criticism and lead a positive life. At the end of the day, she was still human and so that means we are not in this world without continuous trials and tribulations. There’s only so much we can take sometimes. I believe she wholeheartedly did the very best she could to be a great human being. I wish we had more people in the world like this. I never heard anything bad about her. May her memory live on in those who truly loved and appreciated her. She was the ultimate OVERCOMER. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😢❤💐

I know of many, MANY Christians who struggle with insecurity and depression and there are many people, even the prophets who were depressed in the Bible, especially as they saw the people not responding to God or leaving behind His ways. God bless you, Mandisa, I am glad you are with Jesus now! Our world is broken and this is NOT our home, it's easy to be depressed here!

The stigma of depression and anxiety in the religious community aka church is ridiculous. God puts certain people and resources in place to help you heal.

I really admired Mandisa. Loved her music and her testimony! Prayers for her family and friends. Whoever did this video tribute did a really good job! Thank you.

[@Neillan]

The more I learn about the music industry and the various inner workings, the more I absolutely despise it. So much exploitation, bigotry and suffering. An overpaid distraction run by degens that eats kind, creative people like Mandisa and spits them out ruined and dead. Yet she rose above all that and did the best she could for herself and others, with grace and class like no one else. She truly deseved more time in this world, but she honored God throughout her life and is now with him eternally. Wish I learned more about her sooner, although I have heard her music before. Fly high Mandisa ❤

After I had a stroke and sometimes I would be working on a machine to strengthen my arms and legs is when I listened to Overcomer all the time. I started out after my stroke in a wheelchair and had to go to physical therapy to be able to walk again. I recovered from my stroke and a few years later I had cancer and went through chemo. One of the songs I listened to a lot was Overcomer. I needed the encouragement to keep going and not give up hope that I was going to survive. My attitude was that by the grace of God that I was going to survive cancer. After my 1st round of chemo I had sepsis, so I was taken off all chemo and got 1 IV every 4 hours for 2 weeks. I survived my sepsis and then went back to getting chemo. I had 5 more rounds of chemo to go. I had 20 more sessions of chemo to go through. I’m still alive by the grace of God. I really should have died. But praise God I’m still alive.

If God allowed it, than it was acceptable to Him. She is with Him and the comfort of His love. She served Him well with her voice and brought many of us to worship God in our hearts. She will be missed here, but we will see her again. For all eternity let her praises ring out for our God.

This woman was beautiful inside and out. It’s a shame that she just couldn’t overcome her battle with her weight and couldn’t get beyond depression. Depression is a terrible thing. I battle it myself. It’s hard for people to understand a person in Christian belief taking their life . I hope she has found peace now.

It's not hard to understand to me. Religion mandates so much unrealistic behavior that people feel pressured to live up to or not exist. Some people really take it to heart.

Mandisa was truly beautiful. Christ shone through her and in her music. Am sorry the World was so cruel to her; but, she endured to the end. Now, she is reaping her reward in Heaven!

Well said!

Just seeing this now such an incredibly beautiful gifted woman. Her music of God’s goodness brought me such joy. I know she is with the Lord , yet I am so incredibly sad to hear this news.

I am so saddened by her passing, she was a great singer and always lifted me up... love you Mandisa and God bless you

[@jetwills7264]

SMH so Simon and them provoked her because they wanted her to be the angry black woman for ratings but instead she gave them a classy read 🤌🏿

[@QueenBthatsMe777]

Basically. Not even really television is realistic (don't even ask😂)

And you already know that if she (rightfully) got upset with him, she would be "in the wrong" and punished for that. No regrets dropping that show years ago. She handled that so well!

Suicide is a result of the hopeless of mental illness. He is God and I am not, and he knows the heart. No one would commit suicide being "well" emotionally. We do not need to judge a soul that's in that kind of pain. 😥

Ya'll can believe that you can go to heaven for taking your own life if you want to. You will not get in the kingdom by doing that. I pray she didn't do that. If anyone is confused about the subject. Simply get on your knees and ask The Most High he will definitely answer you. I say this in nothing but love.

@@candisbar524- 🙄 here we go with the narrative spin. She hung her hat on God and made a living doing so. The book she stood and referenced frequently clearly says “Thou Shall NOT Kill.” I hope she didn’t do what you mentioned. If she did, well 🤷🏽‍♀️

RIP Mandy I'll never forget that song "Over comer"

[@sherrypangelinan4704]

Thank you for this video highlighting what a great soul she was.

[@AteandIya1518]

I discovered her from TobyMac's- Lose my soul. Thank you Mandisa for your life lived in Christ. Rest in peace. 🕊️

[@haydeetorres3602]

What a humble lady. She did take the best road when talking to Simon. He was humbled!

[@taijamartinez3780]

HE WASN'T HUMBLE AND STILL ISN'T.
