This used to be my favorite song in middle school. When my mom was in prison it gave me and her the comfort we needed. Now I’m going through a similar season my senior year of college. My best friend abandoned and blocked me. I was randomly reminded of this song from my middle school years and I’m sitting in the car crying. He is my strong tower and He is never going anywhere. Through him I will never be alone. God bless Kutless. Thank you for giving me the hope I need right now.

I hope things have gotten better for you in this past year. Last year I was homeless and living a pretty sinful life. I found my way back to Jesus and now live a good and happy life as I wait to move closer to my family that lives in Florida. (Live in New York atm, moving to Florida in Jan) but I also found comfort in this song in Jr high. Finding it again now after going through so much last year makes this song so much more special to me and hearts my heart each time I listen and sing it. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light!

When my grandmother died in home hospice, I stood there, looking at her. I couldn't stand being in the same room as the body, so I ran downstairs and turned on my radio. They were playing Strong Tower right at that moment, and I ran to His mountain, and His mercy set me free, knowing that grandmother was finally home with Him.

Go running to Jesus. Whether by prayer, by reading His Holy word, Trusting Him, laying your anxieties at His feet, crying out to God as your refuge and your hope. Take cover in the shelter of His wings. As Him to forgive, to help and to reveal His love to you in the midst of your trial. No one loves you more than God and God is worth all your love just because of who God is. God is faithful. Growing up this song led me through living without my dad. I thought I was unwanted, unloved, but God's word refreshed my soul saying God is the Father of the fatherless, the defender of wisdows is HIS NAME! STILL brings tears of joy to my eyes. Not just for my sake, but joy knowing that's just a part of who God is. So Holy and different from the ways of this world. May God comfort you. May Helavish you with His mercy and love through our Lord Jesus Christ. May God's goodness be your soul's best song and strengthen you when you are weak. May the answer of your heart come soon and may God comfort you in your brokenness before God and may you allow Him to take your broken pieces and put you together. Trust in the potter. Know His hands are at work for the good of those who love Him. He is waiting for you to be open, sit, and pray and cry out to Him. Use your inner voice and call out our call aloud. Confess and lay your sins before Him. Let Him be your refuge. Repent daily and read His word and let His word renew your mind. Lean on His strength. Trust that no matter what happens, if you do it God's way, just give what you cannot control up to God. Give everything to Him. Cast your anxieties upon the Lord for He cares for you. Believe it. Trust it. Lay your hopes on His promises. They are the believers greatest treasures at all times that neither moth nor rust can destroy.

When I got up to get ready to work at the hosptial on Team A for Hurricane Katrina, taking my 3 kids there with me, my CD/radio player came on by itself (I swear) in my bathroom as I stood there wide-eyed and breathless, and this song started playing on our local Christian station, those single opening notes... I still hear it. God knew I was scared to death for my kids. I’m still in amazement to this day.
