Weekend Gospel Playlist: Resting in God’s Promises

The weekend is finally here, after a long week of hustling, meeting deadlines, and handling life’s surprises. It is a moment to breathe, reset, and recharge. For Christians, it’s a chance to slow down, catch up, and most importantly, reflect on God’s promises.

If you’re anything like me, some weeks leave you completely drained, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The weight of responsibilities can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that God is for you. That’s where worship music comes in. There’s something about a good gospel playlist that lifts your spirit and reminds you that you’re not alone. So, I put together this playlist to help you rest in Him, lean on His faithfulness, and hold on to His promises.

This weekend’s theme? Reliance, Remembering God’s Promises, and Rest. Let’s dive in:

1. "Alleyipada" – Sunmisola Agbebi

"Alleyipada" means "It won’t change," and honestly, that’s the reminder we all need sometimes. God’s love? Unchanging. His faithfulness? Steady. No matter how chaotic life gets, He remains the same. If this week had you questioning things or feeling unstable, let this song anchor you in the truth that God is constant, and He’s got you covered.

2. "Ore Ofe Sha" – Gbenga Akinfewa, Rotimi Keys and Jumoke Williams

Grace is one of those things that we’ll never fully wrap our heads around, but it’s so beautiful. This song is a celebration of God’s grace the kind that meets you where you are, carries you when you’re weak, and covers you even when you mess up. You don’t have to earn it; it’s freely given. So as you listen, let this song remind you to rest in His grace, to stop striving, and to embrace the peace that comes with knowing you’re already loved

3. " Favour" – Lawrence Oyor

Sometimes, you need a reminder that God’s favour is upon you. This song speaks about walking in divine favour, even when things don’t seem to be going your way. Maybe this week felt like an uphill battle, but favour isn’t about circumstances, it’s about God’s hand over your life. This song will encourage you to step into your weekend with confidence, knowing that God’s  favour surrounds you like a shield. Even when doors seem closed, remember that God's  favour opens the right ones at the right time.

4. "Jireh" – Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music

"Jireh" means "The Lord will provide," and this song is all about trusting in God’s provision. It’s easy to worry about the things you lack, whether it’s finances, opportunities, or even peace of mind. But this song reminds you that God is more than enough. I remember a time when I was struggling financially, and this song became my anchor. It helped me shift my focus from what I didn’t have to the God who has always provided for me and He did, in ways I never expected. If you’re feeling anxious about the future, let this song bring you peace.

5. "He did it again" – Sinach

When did you last pause to remember what God has already done for you? This song is all about gratitude. It’s easy to get caught up in what’s next, but sometimes, we need to stop and celebrate the victories big and small. Maybe this week didn’t go as planned, but take a moment to reflect on the times God showed up for you before. This song is a joyful declaration that He will do it again! Think of all the times God came through at the last minute He is still the same faithful God.

6. "Breathe" – Jonathan McReynolds

Life can feel like a whirlwind, and sometimes, the best thing you can do is pause and breathe. This song encourages you to do just that. I’ve had moments where my mind wouldn’t stop racing so many things to do, so many uncertainties ahead. But when I listened to "Breathe," it reminded me that God’s presence is my peace. Take this moment to slow down, inhale, exhale, and rest in Him. Sometimes, all you need is a deep breath and the reassurance that God is still in control.

7. "Olorun Agbaye (You Are Mighty)" – Nathaniel Bassey ft. Chandler Moore & Oba

There’s something powerful about closing out your weekend with a song that magnifies the greatness of God. "Olorun Agbaye" reminds you that no matter what, He is still on the throne. It’s a declaration that God is in control, and because of that, you can fully surrender your worries and rest in His mightiness. No matter what lies ahead in the coming week, this song is a powerful reminder that you don’t have to carry it alone.
