Whether we are actively praying, meditating, studying, or doing any other random non spiritual activities, God wants us to carry a disposition of worship. When scriptures say that men ought always to pray and not to faint, it doesn't mean we are expected to utter words of prayers every second. Rather He wants us to be consistently connected to Him. We are expected to carry every of our activities with a consciousness of His presence. Spiritual songs have a way of putting us in that consciousness. It has a way of reminding us of our devotion and commitment. In this list, I will be recommending Christian songs that have helped strengthened my faith and devotion to Christ
