When hymns resonate with the trials we face, they often become not just melodies but lifelines for our weary souls. This week,  "Day by Day" by Lina Sandell stands as a testament to that very truth. With my aunt, Pam Eubank, joining us, we share about personal struggles and the hymn’s remarkable ability to offer solace and hope. Pam opens up about her own poignant journey through sorrow and the solace she found in Sandell's words, a reminder that trust in God’s providence is paramount even in the darkest times.

The life and legacy of Lina Sandell is the focal point, reminding us of the strength that can be drawn from a steadfast faith. Sandell, often referred to as the "Fanny Crosby of Sweden," penned over 650 hymns, many of which carry the same thread of grace and trust that "Day by Day" exemplifies. The discussion weaves through tragedy, perseverance, and the way hymns like this become cornerstones of our spiritual resilience.

We complete our journey by underscoring the importance of grounding our identity in God and His promises rather than the transient things of this world. The conversation culminates in a shared understanding that by surrendering to His will and recalling God's past faithfulness, we can endure today's challenges with a transformed attitude and an unwavering hope. Join us for an episode that reaffirms our faith and strengthens our spirit, as we trace the contours of God's unchanging love, one hymn—and one week—at a time.

"Day by Day" performed by Nathan Drake of Reawaken Hymns with chord charts and many other church music resources.
