We love you David. God loves you David. Keep your faith David. Know you are loved and prayed for daily. This song is absolutely beautiful . God Bless You David and your family. ⭐️🙏🤗
Hi Alexander, go to Mormon.org and you will find CHRIST videos. Hope you will find the time to review. There is a beautiful song, 'A Child's prayer' where Jesus is included. Also, David Archuleta has traditional Christmas songs of Jesus on UA-cam sung beautifully. GOD bless you!
Sinceramente no creo que llegues a leer esto, pero hace 4 dias cumpli 7 años desde que volvi a casa dee mi misión, y aun puedo sentarme en mi cama por las mañanas cerrar los ojos, escuchar esta canción y sentirme en mi ultima area, se que has estado teniendo una transición entre lo que creias y sientes, no es nada facil, te he visto despotricar a la fe que amo, pero por mas que intento no puedo enojarme contigo, no se como te sentiste pero supongo que no fue bonito para ti, tampoco se quien te dijo que no eras bienvenido por lo que sientes o por quien eres, pero solo te puedo decir que cosas que has hecho en el pasado como esta canción dan fe de que en algun momento supiste que El estaba ahi viendote y amandote, no cambies, sigue sintiendo, pero no dejes de hacer cosas como esta para inspirar a los demas, te deseo lo mejor del mundo, y no se si este bien decirte esto pero, siempre seras bienvenido, un abrazo
Shay Jesus is the son of God and he came down to earth a little over 2000 years ago to spread the gospel more but was killed at the age of 33 from crucification, but in being killed he took on all the sins of everyone on earth so that we could be excepted into heavy easily. He made the ultimate sacrifice so you me, and everyone else wouldn't have to go to hell and suffer for eternity
Emeralds, I am gonna place before you what was said to me in a LOGIC class I took in college when asked for proof of God's existence, "Lack of proof does not mean lack of existence." That happens to be something that is called a logical fallacy, that lack of proof means lack of existence, it goes both ways. Therefore I take my faith personally and let others do the same. I believe in God, a higher power, and care not what he is called, merely that he is and I will face the consequences of my belief or lack thereof when I exit this existence. Like many others, I would rather believe and act as if there is a god and be proven wrong, then act as if there is no god and be proven wrong.
Erin Thor it’s not that we don’t share Heavenly Father, or that He favors others, but we can connect with Him on a very personal basis. So yes, He is MY Heavenly Father, and he is HIS Heavenly Father.
I played this song for my mom as she lay dying of cancer. I listened to it every day in the days leading up to her death. I love the spirit and the peace and the strength it brings to my heart when I hear it. Now hearing it reminds me of those sweet moments with my mother. Thank you David Archuleta for sharing your gifts with the world.
I'm so sorry to hear of your mother, it brought tears to my eyes. I had kidney cancer, (4 weeks out from surgery) they were able to get the tumor out with a partial nephrectomy. xoxo
Doesn't matter what gender identity you have David, I still think you are a wonderful person. You have done so much good in this world, don't forget it. I always find hope in your songs. Thank you.
my daughter introduced me to his songs. This talented young man has spiritually inspired using his voice, lifted those in need to be closer to Heavenly Father and Christ. He chose to serve the LORD over fame, however look now, he has fame!
There’s times we fall short of the glory of God I respect his decisions there’s times I wanted to put my faith away and from God but i started going back to church sundays take the sacraments I’m grateful that God touched my heart to go back to church. Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
I love this song and I can see the spiritual purity in your countenance David. Please don't change and don't listen to voice of the world and especially that of Hollywood. I hope you can read this too and as President Holland mentioned, you are never too far to return, and you are always welcome at Christ's table with open arms. Don't listen to people who have been fallen since the fall of Adam, people are imperfect. But Christ is perfect and what you feel and how you feel is between you and Him, no one else. Know that you are loved!
David Archuleta, I am so inspired by your revelation. This morning I woke up with one of my own. Here are 3 more verses to your song: Heavenly Father I am longing to know my sacred purpose. I am yearning for a family to be with me for all time. Sometimes they'll turn away and I know my heart will break but then I'll put it in your hands and you'll make it whole again. Heavenly Father I am hoping to be with those who truly love me. Forever. Yes Forever. For a time without end. I'm learning every day that I won't always have my way. But thy power is so great and family is thy plan. Heavenly Father I am faithful Lord help thou my unbelief I need a family filled with love a type of things in heaven above. There are answers we'll receive as we gather on our knees Send our prayer up to thee from our little family. You show us you hear our prayer I'm amazed by how you care for my little family's prayer.
David elegiste y esa libertad es lo mas hermoso que nos ha dado NPC, lo que decidas y haga sentir bien esta bien, continua haciendo lo bueno para ti y si esta para otros. Saludos.
God has a divine plan for each one of us. Sometimes we cannot see what that plan is. Our vision is so limited. We see through a glass darkly. This Earth life is just a split second in the grand eternal plan. We lived before, we will live again. Jesus Christ has descended below every pain and trial we have ever experienced. God never forsakes us. Even when we lose sight of his plan for us and turn our backs on God he continues to have his hand outstretched. His love is unending and his light is in all things and through all things. We all go through trials and hardships that are heart-wrenching. Many things we simply cannot understand. This is all part of the plan that our heavenly father has for us. This is part of the grand school of life. Remember that this life is just a blink of eternity. Hold fast. Endure to the end. Stay true to the light and love that God has given us. You don't have to understand everything. Trust in Him. Do not turn your back on him as so many are now. Do not lose hope. He is the only one who truly understands what we are all going through. He will fill your soul with immeasurable piece and joy. God is merciful and forgiving. There is nothing that we have done that the redemption of Christ cannot heal us from. We are not meant to understand everything. This life we are all to walk by faith. That is part of our eternal journey of progression. We must go through sorrow in order to fully appreciate the joy that awaits. Don't give up. Keep pressing forward in faith.
Lyrics: Heavenly Father, I am grateful For your eternal presence I am learning to be patient And that you are really there Sometimes I am afraid And I know that's lacking faith But I'm beginning to understand That for me you have a plan Heavenly Father, I am grateful For you sending your son To die so that I live And for never giving up I'm learning every day That I won't always have my way But I'm beginning to understand That for me you have a plan Ooh Heavenly Father, I am grateful For you hearing my prayer I am learning to be patient And that you are really there There are answers I receive No they're not always immediate Sometimes I have felt defeated That's when I kneel down in prayer You show me you hear my prayer I'm amazed by how you care 'Cause you hear my little prayer
My Dad listened to this at Christmas time and said when he served in the war it didn't matter what the individuals beliefs were, If their lives where in danger, every one of them prayed. I am drawn to listen to this song because it reminds me that my relationship with God is meaningful. That I am loved and need to pray not because I have a difficult time at this moment in my life, but because I want to develop my faith and know God's plan for me. Then if I ever really do need him I will know his comfort and presence in my life.
To: Janet Wainwright Reed, Your statement isn't only beautiful, it's true. GOD wants an ongoing, daily walk with him. Oh, I'm Southern Baptist with much love and respect for United Pentecostal Church. Much love.
It's so amazing how the interest in the outside of people dissapears and that there is just that peaceful soul that makes contact to the other peaceful soul. And all we need is an eye contact and we just know who are the real ones for us.
David Archuleta, I am so proud of you for not being conformed to the system that is in much control of our music industry. You are spreading so much love with your songs and I absolutely love them! God bless
We are taught at church that we can't worship the world but worship Heavenly Father. He's very very active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and even took 2 years off for his mission. (I dunno if you are LDS, just thought I'd comment this, if you are ignore it, it's for those who don't know)
I turned to this song because someone close to me just left the Church and ever since she told me I've been really confused and lost and anxious and afraid. I remember praying to God and asking him "why won't you just give her the peace she needs? Why don't you care about her?" But in listening to this song, other songs by David Archuleta, and other religious songs, I've realized a few important things that I had forgotten about. God loves everyone, regardless of what they believe, and regardless of their mistakes. Because he loves us, he has given us a wonderful gift: the gift to choose for ourselves. That gift is what allows us to make mistakes. To learn. To grow. The challenges we face will help us become who we were meant to be. Life wasn't meant to be easy. It wasn't meant to be pain-free. Even the most faithful individuals have to suffer. Joseph Smith, Abinadi, Nephi, the Apostle Paul, Noah, Moses, Elijah, I mean the list goes on. Even Jesus, the world's only perfect person, had to suffer. But He not only suffered the normal pains of everyday life, but also all the pain, guilt, and sorrow of the countless people on the countless worlds that have ever been created. And He chose to suffer all of that so He could help us with our struggles. We don't have to go through our pain alone. We only have to turn to Him, and our burdens will be made lighter. But we have to be the ones to open the door. We have to be the ones to let Him in. We have to believe, or at least desire to believe, that He can help us. We have to ask in faith, and act in faith. God's not going to hand everything over on a silver platter. Because then we would never learn and grow into the people we were meant to be. Just as it takes enormous amounts of heat and pressure for a piece of coal to become a diamond, it takes a lot of struggling, heartache, and pain for us to become the perfected beings we were meant to be. But in order for those struggles to benefit us, we have to turn our hearts to Christ. His hand is outstretched towards us. All we have to do is take it. So maybe the person close to me who left just doesn't realize how much God truly loves her. Maybe she doesn't recognize the answers to her prayers. Maybe she hasn't learned to fully trust Him. And if that's the case, God's not going to force salvation down her throat. His hand is always outstretched towards her, but she has to be the one to take His hand. So while I don't know all the answers as to why her struggles have never ceased, I know that God does. And I believe that the struggles she faces will ultimately be for her benefit. I have faith that eventually she will come to recognize all the ways He has blessed her, and that she will turn to Him.
I am a CATHOLIC.. and I love JESUS who reigns in my Life... Im proud of you David... BRING JESUS to the world... ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THE WORLD... we know it and yet Many still choose to deny HIM...
Thank you David for sharing the light of Christ and your spiritual gift God gave you to write music and lift people! God loves you and has been and will always be there for you no matter how far you think you’ve gone or what you may have done! He is waiting with open arms to receive and love you as you turn to him!
I can't have enough of this song. Have lost count of how many times I enjoyed this song. Pray God help David to make more meaningful songs of this sort.
Hi David, I love your style of music and choices of songs. Better yet, this one is an excellent composition from God. Your Philippine roots show in your style of singing. God bless you and I thank you for inspiring millions. God abundant blessings and your gift of life is truly a gift to a lot of people through your charism of music.
Dear David Archeluta, I do not know if you will ever read this but if you do, I hope this finds you and your family well. I hope you and your lovedones are in the pink of health with so many blessings to enjoy. I have nothing but appreciation for your beautiful music, especially this one as it is one of the most that has helped me through the roughest part of my life. I have felt Heavenly Father's love through this song of yours. Hope you make more inspiring songs like this. Thank you so much!
God bless your life David. This song inspire me so much. I felt the presence and love of God. Your voice and the melody of the song is heaven sent. I'm amaze by the love of God. Thank you for your obedience to God to write this song. Your encounter with God is so amazing. A very inspiring story that turn into a powerful song. God listens our prayer even a little Prayer. So powerful song. Thank you heavenly father, for sending JESUS CHRIST as our Lord and Savior.
Literally this song brings me to tears whenever I listen to it. I'm greatful that there are artists like David who put their faith first before worldly things. This is one of the many reasons why I look up to him. Thank you David for your devotion to God! I can't thank you enough for how much of an example you are to me
Thank you for sharing this my favorite lovely CHRISTMAS Song I would cherish FOREVER. Very good for "EVERY CHRISTMAS & Every Day To Feel Like Every Month Can Be X-MAS ALWAYS :)"
David this is the kind of music you need to share with the world. Not songs like Beast!!! Bro Jesus Loves you and is greater then what your going through. GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THEN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. FOR GOD BE FOR YOU. WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU. MY THOUGHTS TOWARDS YOU ARE OF GOOD AND NOT OF EVIL. TO GIVE YOU A BRIGHT FUTURE FILLED WITH HOPE AND AN EXPECTED END!! This world needs Jesus man!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
@Emerica Keing This is directly from his blog/website: "Something I try to do to each day is begin by saying a prayer in the morning, and then end my day with a prayer at night. Sometimes, however, I fall asleep before I say my nightly prayer. One time almost a year ago I had one of these nights where I fell asleep before saying a prayer. Something unusual happened. That night I had a dream. It was different than anything I had experiences before. In my dream I was praying-having a conversation with God. The conversation was also different. I was singing. I could hear simple chords in my dream that I was laying a simple melody and prayer on top of. As I was having this conversation in music with God, He told me to get up and write this down. I thought and said, “…but… I’m sleeping. I’m not sure I know how to get up from a dream!” He told me “if you don’t get up now, you’ll forget it in the morning.” I tried everything I could to wake up, and I did! There in the middle of the night I went straight to the piano with the words and melody I had spoken in my dream still clear in my head, and wrote it all down. It was the fastest I had ever written a song because I feel this one was given to me. I’ve sung this song several times this year now and people kept asking where to find it so I felt it would be good to share it during this Holiday season. I hope you enjoy it and find encouragement to begin your own simple and sincere conversations in prayer!"
Heavenly Father, I am grateful For your eternal presence I am learning to be patient And that you are really there Sometimes I am afraid, And I know that's lacking faith But I'm beginning to understand, That for me you have a plan Heavenly Father, I am grateful For you sending your son To die so that I live And for never giving up I'm learning everyday That I won't always have my way But I'm beginning to understand That for me you have a plan Heavenly Father, I am grateful For you hearing my prayer I am learning to be patient, And that you are really there There are answers I'm receiving No, they're not always immediate Sometimes I have felt a feeling, That's when I kneel down in prayer You show me you hear my prayer I'm amazed by how you care, Cause you hear My little prayer
I find it beautiful I grew up with David being my favorite artist of all time when he first came into the spotlight and I was obsessed with his music but I wasn’t religious at all 😢 I was so empty and sad without Jesus, when I put him at the back of my brain the sadness takes a hold over me again. But nothing is stronger than Jesus’ love and when I listen to your music now, it’s leaves a different impression ❤
I love this song so much, I listen to it every single day, it's helping me through a very difficult trial in my life right not. Thank you so much David Archuleta.
Little by little what David was praying about is slowly being revealed. His calling in life is so much more than anyone (including himself) could have ever imagined.
It's June 2022 and I still listen to this song. This is my go-to song / video everytime I feel down and discouraged. It brings comfort and enlightenment to my soul.
David, this has to be one of my very first UA-cam comments. I normally don't feel the need to inject myself in the deplorable comment threads that pervade each video. That said, I am making an exception for this video. I want to plainly state that I appreciate this video and its message. Thank you for staying true to your convictions. Thank you for being a voice of light in an ever darkening world. There are many who will jump to ridicule you, but I will stand by you, brother. Most of all, thank you for "lighting the world" #LIGHTtheWORLD
:) Hey, AMAZING SONG. I am not a Mormon. I am Seventh-day Adventist. But I love it. Continue in this work, because I believe this is for God´s glory! And what is more important in our lifes than to live for God´s glory. I appreciate your work and service!
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was having a really rough day. This video came up in my recommendations, and it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear that day. I love it still, and it always reminds me that, while we don't always understand why things happen the way they do, we can put trust in our Heavenly Father. He loves us and has a plan for us, and He knows and understands YOU, reader. He's always there to help and to listen, and even when the answers don't come when we want them to, He'll help us to hold on until the skies get clearer:) I've definitely seen this in my life, and I know it's true. Thanks again, David! Truly inspired ❤
David hno mio,no sabes cuanto tu musica me impartio paz en mi vida ,eres tan especial y valiente y el enemigo de tu alma lo sabe tambien.veo tus videos q hicistes tu mision y me llena de entusiasmo de ver ese amor del Padre y tu hacia El..espero de todo corazon q regreses
wow, what a beautiful prayer, so greatful for a person of you, I'm learning much of you David, because you are acting like the heavenly father means it, thankyou. you're the kind of person who shines a light into the world, with your acting and message of the gospel! God blesses, Amen!
Thank you for living a life that makes it possible for you to receive revelation and bless others with beautiful songs like this one. I often forget to say my morning prayer, but this song definitely changed that today.
I thing there are more people who receive these revelations, it's just that they don't have the platform for sharing them. If they say anything at work or even in front of their friends then they are likely to be laughed at. It is hard being a spiritual person in the twenty-first century.
Living a life of delusion is not an attribute, but a hindrance. Try this: Pray to Jesus to please speak to you audibly creating sound that your eardrums pick up. In this prayer, please ask him to tell you that he is real. You may be irritated that I write this but ask yourself why? Is it because I dare to question this religion you are pushing? If you were an adult, you would test your beliefs with honesty. I know the outcome of this prayer I am asking you to do. You will not get a response back. Why? Because this "Jesus" and "God" that you believe in ARE NOT REAL. Now go forth and teach your children to pray to an invisible friend and teach them that this invisible friend created them, loves them and makes everything possible. THEN ASK YOURSELF who are the false preachers who are like sheep in wolves clothing? It is CHILD ABUSE to lie to your children with things you do not know as fact especially on something you are asking them to wrap their entire lives around. Why even send them to school at all? You could just tell them that the only thing they will ever need in life is "God's" love right? Spend all of your hard earn money at the church... you know you will never see a penny of it again. And the next time you place your dollars in the offering plate, think about how you will explain to your children, how you will not be able to afford their college education because you gave it all... to this "God" that does not answer you.... EVER.
David has the ability to be extremely famous, he is very skilled. Instead he chose to use the fame he does have to share the love of God. What an amazing choice and an inspiration to me. Stay strong David. God bless you! I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of our Savior Jesus Christ! I invite you all to learn more and search out for yourself if what I testify is true!
This song really touched my heart. I have been battling a trial for many years...I actually was sent home early from my mission because my health got so bad that Salt Lake felt it would be better for me to come home and get better. I have been struggling on moving on with my life this past little while...but this gave me hope because he has a plan for me and this song really testified of that simple truth. Thank you for writing it down. It is so meaningful in my life 😊😊
Sister Boyd, your comment touched me. I was also an early return from my mission almost 20 years ago, and something that I've learned from our Father is this: your service, if given with your whole heart (and I have every reason to believe yours was), it was enough, no matter how long you were able to be 'in the field'. What matters now is what you do next. How will you serve Him the rest of your life? Keep on keeping on, Sister! We are both beloved daughters of a Heavenly Father who not only loves us, but KNOWS our hearts and our desires to serve Him. Though His plan for our lives might not be what we had envisioned when we put on the name tag, we are no less serviceable to Him even after taking off the tag! ♥
Tess Boyd don't you give up ! just like the general authorities tell us ! you have an important mission in this life ~ even if you aren't on a typical "mission " you still have a mission in life. you are unique and irreplaceable just like we were told In conference. i believe in you and you're in my prayers :) jl
My friend just sent me a message today, and it's about how to say a prayer. Yesterday I was listening to this song and the message really touches my heart. I couldn't sleep last night, I prayed for a long time and it feels like there's really someone who listen to me..I was crying to God. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing hope. Thank you for this song David, I am learning to be patient, and I will keep this thought in my heart "don't despair God is always with you." I also said in my prayer last night, that I am thankful for having a friend who always remind me the importance of prayer..
Jesus is the messiah the son of God, He is my savior, your savior, my Lord and your Lord, there is no other like him, Jesus loves you and He coming soon, receive him into your life and heart. Haleluyah!! Glory to God!! 🙌🙇♂️
This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It doesn't matter what you believe.. this song is incredible. God is always with you..
We love you David. God loves you David. Keep your faith David. Know you are loved and prayed for daily.
This song is absolutely beautiful . God Bless You David and your family. ⭐️🙏🤗
I am a devout catholic but this song should unite us all in Christ. He may be a Mormon but we share common ground in Jesus

Regardless of whether or not you’re religious, you gotta admit that David has an amazing voice

Emeralds, I am gonna place before you what was said to me in a LOGIC class I took in college when asked for proof of God's existence, "Lack of proof does not mean lack of existence."

I am not a mormon but I like the way David connects with his heavenly father.
Olá Osiris vc tbm pode se conectar a Seu Pai Celestial por meio de sua Orações.
Osiris López Ramírez he sounds like a Christian to me 😇🙏❤️
"His" Heavenly Father? As most Christian faiths all agree there is one God, why not say ‘the Heavenly Father?’
Erin Thor it’s not that we don’t share Heavenly Father, or that He favors others, but we can connect with Him on a very personal basis. So yes, He is MY Heavenly Father, and he is HIS Heavenly Father.
heavenly father and god is the same one dont be confused im a mormon and were also christians dont be confused
I played this song for my mom as she lay dying of cancer. I listened to it every day in the days leading up to her death. I love the spirit and the peace and the strength it brings to my heart when I hear it. Now hearing it reminds me of those sweet moments with my mother. Thank you David Archuleta for sharing your gifts with the world.
Me too🥰
I'm so sorry to hear of your mother, it brought tears to my eyes. I had kidney cancer, (4 weeks out from surgery) they were able to get the tumor out with a partial nephrectomy. xoxo
Wow, you made me cry!! So sorry!! Loss my husband to cancer he was young. Hope days will get better for you
@Luvin Our Life I had kidney cancer 5 years ago. Took my right kidney and had nothing eles done. Cancer free still.

Doesn't matter what gender identity you have David, I still think you are a wonderful person. You have done so much good in this world, don't forget it. I always find hope in your songs. Thank you.

David I lost my son to cancer his favorite hymn was child of god I would love to hear you sing it!
This is a man who decided to put faith and other life choices over fame. You took the better path. Congrats!
Agree. I love him so much.
my daughter introduced me to his songs. This talented young man has spiritually inspired using his voice, lifted those in need to be closer to Heavenly Father and Christ. He chose to serve the LORD over fame, however look now, he has fame!
Congratulations x 777
I never understood his choice but I now do. I admire him
There’s times we fall short of the glory of God I respect his decisions there’s times I wanted to put my faith away and from God but i started going back to church sundays take the sacraments I’m grateful that God touched my heart to go back to church.

My four year old daughter just said, “it’s like Jesus was singing to my heart.”
I was showing her the pictures to the book as the song played. 😍
David Archuleta, I am so inspired by your revelation. This morning I woke up with one of my own. Here are 3 more verses to your song:
Heavenly Father I am longing
to know my sacred purpose.
I am yearning for a family
to be with me for all time.
Sometimes they'll turn away
and I know my heart will break
but then I'll put it in your hands
and you'll make it whole again.
Heavenly Father I am hoping
to be with those who truly love me.
Forever. Yes Forever. For a time without end.
I'm learning every day
that I won't always have my way.
But thy power is so great
and family is thy plan.
Heavenly Father I am faithful
Lord help thou my unbelief
I need a family filled with love
a type of things in heaven above.
There are answers we'll receive
as we gather on our knees
Send our prayer up to thee
from our little family.
You show us you hear our prayer
I'm amazed by how you care
for my little family's prayer.
Beautiful. This should be everyone's prayer.
i hope these verses gets pinned on this comment section!
THESE ARE AWESOME VERSESS!!!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
David elegiste y esa libertad es lo mas hermoso que nos ha dado NPC, lo que decidas y haga sentir bien esta bien, continua haciendo lo bueno para ti y si esta para otros. Saludos.
God has a divine plan for each one of us. Sometimes we cannot see what that plan is. Our vision is so limited. We see through a glass darkly. This Earth life is just a split second in the grand eternal plan. We lived before, we will live again. Jesus Christ has descended below every pain and trial we have ever experienced. God never forsakes us. Even when we lose sight of his plan for us and turn our backs on God he continues to have his hand outstretched. His love is unending and his light is in all things and through all things. We all go through trials and hardships that are heart-wrenching. Many things we simply cannot understand. This is all part of the plan that our heavenly father has for us. This is part of the grand school of life. Remember that this life is just a blink of eternity. Hold fast. Endure to the end. Stay true to the light and love that God has given us. You don't have to understand everything. Trust in Him. Do not turn your back on him as so many are now. Do not lose hope. He is the only one who truly understands what we are all going through. He will fill your soul with immeasurable piece and joy. God is merciful and forgiving. There is nothing that we have done that the redemption of Christ cannot heal us from. We are not meant to understand everything. This life we are all to walk by faith. That is part of our eternal journey of progression. We must go through sorrow in order to fully appreciate the joy that awaits. Don't give up. Keep pressing forward in faith.
Everything you said is inspirational and true, yet one thing I’ll mildly alter:
We are not meant to understand everything…yet. 😊
I love this song... 😢 I can't hold back my tears 2024
Lyrics:
Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For your eternal presence
I am learning to be patient
And that you are really there
Sometimes I am afraid
And I know that's lacking faith
But I'm beginning to understand
That for me you have a plan
Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you sending your son
To die so that I live
And for never giving up
I'm learning every day
That I won't always have my way
But I'm beginning to understand
That for me you have a plan
Ooh
Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you hearing my prayer
I am learning to be patient
And that you are really there
There are answers I receive
No they're not always immediate
Sometimes I have felt defeated
That's when I kneel down in prayer
You show me you hear my prayer
I'm amazed by how you care
'Cause you hear my little prayer
Thank you for the lyric
Thank you for being a light to the world, David!
I am a lds and I can say I am so happy to hear your music. I can now understand why the lyrics are the way they are. I love you with God's love.
My Dad listened to this at Christmas time and said when he served in the war it didn't matter what the individuals beliefs were, If their lives where in danger, every one of them prayed. I am drawn to listen to this song because it reminds me that my relationship with God is meaningful. That I am loved and need to pray not because I have a difficult time at this moment in my life, but because I want to develop my faith and know God's plan for me. Then if I ever really do need him I will know his comfort and presence in my life.
To: Janet Wainwright Reed, Your statement isn't only beautiful, it's true. GOD wants an ongoing, daily walk with him. Oh, I'm Southern Baptist with much love and respect for United Pentecostal Church. Much love.
that is a beautiful story! thanks for sharing!
Amen! A beautiful story hope your prayers will came true soon
I love this song
This song is my favorite please give me a comment give me a thumbs up and I love every babies so tell them I'd like it
i pray that david will comeback to the fold someday.....i pray for him always...
I am crying so hard. God bless you.
I want to cry listening to this. Having a rough time, but this song just melts away all my problems for the time being.
Adriana Avila I am sorry you're dealing with a lot right now. But I understand what you're feeling. ♡ *hugs*
Aw thank you! So nice. I appreciate you taking the time to write. Hugs to you too. =)

It's so amazing how the interest in the outside of people dissapears and that there is just that peaceful soul that makes contact to the other peaceful soul. And all we need is an eye contact and we just know who are the real ones for us.
When you have high standards, the LORD blesses you in ways you could never even imagine!!!😀🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
David Archuleta, I am so proud of you for not being conformed to the system that is in much control of our music industry. You are spreading so much love with your songs and I absolutely love them! God bless
Cool comment, Matt!
We are taught at church that we can't worship the world but worship Heavenly Father. He's very very active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and even took 2 years off for his mission. (I dunno if you are LDS, just thought I'd comment this, if you are ignore it, it's for those who don't know)
@@Ari-vr4kp I'm not a member of LDS but I am taught the same thing at church.
I turned to this song because someone close to me just left the Church and ever since she told me I've been really confused and lost and anxious and afraid. I remember praying to God and asking him "why won't you just give her the peace she needs? Why don't you care about her?" But in listening to this song, other songs by David Archuleta, and other religious songs, I've realized a few important things that I had forgotten about. God loves everyone, regardless of what they believe, and regardless of their mistakes. Because he loves us, he has given us a wonderful gift: the gift to choose for ourselves. That gift is what allows us to make mistakes. To learn. To grow. The challenges we face will help us become who we were meant to be. Life wasn't meant to be easy. It wasn't meant to be pain-free. Even the most faithful individuals have to suffer. Joseph Smith, Abinadi, Nephi, the Apostle Paul, Noah, Moses, Elijah, I mean the list goes on. Even Jesus, the world's only perfect person, had to suffer. But He not only suffered the normal pains of everyday life, but also all the pain, guilt, and sorrow of the countless people on the countless worlds that have ever been created. And He chose to suffer all of that so He could help us with our struggles. We don't have to go through our pain alone. We only have to turn to Him, and our burdens will be made lighter. But we have to be the ones to open the door. We have to be the ones to let Him in. We have to believe, or at least desire to believe, that He can help us. We have to ask in faith, and act in faith. God's not going to hand everything over on a silver platter. Because then we would never learn and grow into the people we were meant to be. Just as it takes enormous amounts of heat and pressure for a piece of coal to become a diamond, it takes a lot of struggling, heartache, and pain for us to become the perfected beings we were meant to be. But in order for those struggles to benefit us, we have to turn our hearts to Christ. His hand is outstretched towards us. All we have to do is take it. So maybe the person close to me who left just doesn't realize how much God truly loves her. Maybe she doesn't recognize the answers to her prayers. Maybe she hasn't learned to fully trust Him. And if that's the case, God's not going to force salvation down her throat. His hand is always outstretched towards her, but she has to be the one to take His hand. So while I don't know all the answers as to why her struggles have never ceased, I know that God does. And I believe that the struggles she faces will ultimately be for her benefit. I have faith that eventually she will come to recognize all the ways He has blessed her, and that she will turn to Him.
I am a CATHOLIC.. and I love JESUS who reigns in my Life... Im proud of you David... BRING JESUS to the world... ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THE WORLD... we know it and yet Many still choose to deny HIM...
I pray he fulfills God's purpose for his life. Just love this guy!😘
HOLY ANOINTED ONE thank you Lord JESUS CHRIST Yeshua and thanks David !

No one is too far gone for Christ to heal!
Amen 🙏
This is perfect because I'm struggling in my faith a little bit but I'm praying and I know one day I'll never doubt God
I feel joyful and grateful that you have found the Lord 🙏🏻♥️ May Jesus bless you and your family everyday!

I can't have enough of this song. Have lost count of how many times I enjoyed this song. Pray God help David to make more meaningful songs of this sort.
I will pray for you David. Your voice is a gift from your Creator.❤❤❤
Hi David, I love your style of music and choices of songs. Better yet, this one is an excellent composition from God. Your Philippine roots show in your style of singing. God bless you and I thank you for inspiring millions. God abundant blessings and your gift of life is truly a gift to a lot of people through your charism of music.

I hope you and your lovedones are in the pink of health with so many blessings to enjoy. I have nothing but appreciation for your beautiful music, especially this one as it is one of the most that has helped me through the roughest part of my life.

So powerful song. Thank you heavenly father, for sending JESUS CHRIST as our Lord and Savior.
Literally this song brings me to tears whenever I listen to it. I'm greatful that there are artists like David who put their faith first before worldly things. This is one of the many reasons why I look up to him.
Thank you David for your devotion to God! I can't thank you enough for how much of an example you are to me
Hi David, a long time has passed, and things have changed in your life, but I still think you are amazing!
Thank you for sharing this my favorite lovely CHRISTMAS Song I would cherish FOREVER. Very good for "EVERY CHRISTMAS & Every Day To Feel Like Every Month Can Be X-MAS ALWAYS :)"

GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THEN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. FOR GOD BE FOR YOU. WHO CAN BE AGAINST YOU. MY THOUGHTS TOWARDS YOU ARE OF GOOD AND NOT OF EVIL. TO GIVE YOU A BRIGHT FUTURE FILLED WITH HOPE AND AN EXPECTED END!! This world needs Jesus man!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I love the story behind how David wrote this song! Makes it that much more special!
what is the story ? can you share ? thanks
Emerica keing, look below in subscri....
J House Vlogs He's my cousin im fully related to him!
@Emerica Keing This is directly from his blog/website:
"Something I try to do to each day is begin by saying a prayer in the morning, and then end my day with a prayer at night. Sometimes, however, I fall asleep before I say my nightly prayer. One time almost a year ago I had one of these nights where I fell asleep before saying a prayer. Something unusual happened.
That night I had a dream. It was different than anything I had experiences before. In my dream I was praying-having a conversation with God. The conversation was also different. I was singing. I could hear simple chords in my dream that I was laying a simple melody and prayer on top of.
As I was having this conversation in music with God, He told me to get up and write this down. I thought and said, “…but… I’m sleeping. I’m not sure I know how to get up from a dream!” He told me “if you don’t get up now, you’ll forget it in the morning.” I tried everything I could to wake up, and I did! There in the middle of the night I went straight to the piano with the words and melody I had spoken in my dream still clear in my head, and wrote it all down. It was the fastest I had ever written a song because I feel this one was given to me.
I’ve sung this song several times this year now and people kept asking where to find it so I felt it would be good to share it during this Holiday season. I hope you enjoy it and find encouragement to begin your own simple and sincere conversations in prayer!"
ARTisPassion, thank you for sharing. God bless you!

Cause you hear
My little prayer
This makes it so simple God
Loves us all amen
i love this song prayer ❤❤❤❤❤
Sometimes I have felt defeated* I think that’s what I hear ❤
Thanks for helping share Christ's light with me.
Thank you david, for this song, so touching. You light my world. God bless you
How humble is the lyrics singing about his faith and hope in the gospel of Jesus Christ
I find it beautiful I grew up with David being my favorite artist of all time when he first came into the spotlight and I was obsessed with his music but I wasn’t religious at all 😢 I was so empty and sad without Jesus, when I put him at the back of my brain the sadness takes a hold over me again. But nothing is stronger than Jesus’ love and when I listen to your music now, it’s leaves a different impression ❤
I'll never forget this song, it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. ♡
I love this song so much, I listen to it every single day, it's helping me through a very difficult trial in my life right not. Thank you so much David Archuleta.
my little prayer... that you my Lord have a plan for me.... thank you... beautiful song.
hear this song in the night got me like..... uggghh thanks Jesus you gave archie back
Little by little what David was praying about is slowly being revealed. His calling in life is so much more than anyone (including himself) could have ever imagined.
I'm a Muslim but I really luv this song so much.. David Archuleta ❤️❤️
I love my heavenly father. He is always with me. I am a Mormon and proud of it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Unable to pray and then this....breaks your heart and convicts your soul in need of a great God! Thank you David.
Awesome David Archuleta a brother in Christ
It's June 2022 and I still listen to this song. This is my go-to song / video everytime I feel down and discouraged. It brings comfort and enlightenment to my soul.
David, this has to be one of my very first UA-cam comments. I normally don't feel the need to inject myself in the deplorable comment threads that pervade each video. That said, I am making an exception for this video.
I want to plainly state that I appreciate this video and its message. Thank you for staying true to your convictions. Thank you for being a voice of light in an ever darkening world. There are many who will jump to ridicule you, but I will stand by you, brother. Most of all, thank you for "lighting the world" #LIGHTtheWORLD
it's nice of you to do that
:) Hey, AMAZING SONG. I am not a Mormon. I am Seventh-day Adventist. But I love it. Continue in this work, because I believe this is for God´s glory! And what is more important in our lifes than to live for God´s glory. I appreciate your work and service!
Hey I'm also a Seventh Day Adventist! Good to see you over here, brother!
Me too.
I'm a Seventh day Adventist
I am LDS, but I have family who are SDA. I converted to LDS, and they converted to SDA.
Amen.
Me too! :)
Thanks! I feel the love of my Father with this song! Não canso de ouvir!!! Uurruuu
i would really like lighting the world with our heavenly fathers truth speaking words and love from my savior jesus christ :)
This is my favorite song, thank you, David! 🩷
I need such prayer !!❤
I continue Lord to try to LIGHT THE WORLD as many!
you are truly an angel sent from up above. i believe in God and i am not ashame to say, I Believe in God.
Congrats for having a strong faith and living by the gospel of Jesus Christ
God loves you, David Archuleta. God always loves those most who feel like they are on the outside looking in.
So great. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
omg i didn't know you guys were david archuleta fans!
HeyyitzAlyssa or maybe they checked in the trend and started like it
What's Inside? #LightTheWorld, are you LDS?
Mormons are terrible. One should be ashamed to be LDS.
Lars Jessen why do you say that? what evidence do you have that every single Mormon on the face of the planet is awful.
Thanks for sharing your testimony and talent David Archuleta
Prayers are the most powerful weapon, David you're so awesome... 💋
May God Bless you and your music Mr. Archuleta!
¡¡¡GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR EL AMOR DE NUESTRO PADRE CELESTIAL POR MEDIO DE SU HERMOSA VOZ!!! ¡Me encanta escucharlo cantar!
"Your voice is beautiful and calms me down. Certainly a gift from God. A hug from a fan of Brazil." Léo Bonetto
I feel peace when I hear him sing.. both him and Lexi Walker. Both of them have beautiful voices and are so sweet. Gifts from heaven. 😊❤🤗
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was having a really rough day. This video came up in my recommendations, and it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear that day. I love it still, and it always reminds me that, while we don't always understand why things happen the way they do, we can put trust in our Heavenly Father. He loves us and has a plan for us, and He knows and understands YOU, reader. He's always there to help and to listen, and even when the answers don't come when we want them to, He'll help us to hold on until the skies get clearer:) I've definitely seen this in my life, and I know it's true. Thanks again, David! Truly inspired ❤
Thank you ❤
My favorite American Idol forever ... David sings like heaven ....
David hno mio,no sabes cuanto tu musica me impartio paz en mi vida ,eres tan especial y valiente y el enemigo de tu alma lo sabe tambien.veo tus videos q hicistes tu mision y me llena de entusiasmo de ver ese amor del Padre y tu hacia El..espero de todo corazon q regreses
wow, what a beautiful prayer, so greatful for a person of you, I'm learning much of you David, because you are acting like the heavenly father means it, thankyou. you're the kind of person who shines a light into the world, with your acting and message of the gospel!
God blesses, Amen!
Thank you so much for being such a light in the world. Sharing the Light of Christ in your own unique way. Thank you. Thank you so much!
I love you David Archuleta!!! 💗
David, that´s fantastic song. I love your voice. I send you so many kisses from Czech Republic
I love this song I listen to every day, thank you David.
Such a beautiful song. I hope everyone who hears it (or sings it) feels God’s love for them.
Thank you ❤
@@DavidArchuleta192 why are you impersonating David?
@@zaphster11 --- esse impostor não vai responder: ele é um fubeca...! 💪
Thank you for living a life that makes it possible for you to receive revelation and bless others with beautiful songs like this one. I often forget to say my morning prayer, but this song definitely changed that today.
Some One e
do you guys share a facebook too?
I thing there are more people who receive these revelations, it's just that they don't have the platform for sharing them. If they say anything at work or even in front of their friends then they are likely to be laughed at. It is hard being a spiritual person in the twenty-first century.
Let your light shine forth! Don't be afraid.
Living a life of delusion is not an attribute, but a hindrance. Try this: Pray to Jesus to please speak to you audibly creating sound that your eardrums pick up. In this prayer, please ask him to tell you that he is real.
You may be irritated that I write this but ask yourself why? Is it because I dare to question this religion you are pushing? If you were an adult, you would test your beliefs with honesty.
I know the outcome of this prayer I am asking you to do. You will not get a response back. Why? Because this "Jesus" and "God" that you believe in ARE NOT REAL. Now go forth and teach your children to pray to an invisible friend and teach them that this invisible friend created them, loves them and makes everything possible. THEN ASK YOURSELF who are the false preachers who are like sheep in wolves clothing?
It is CHILD ABUSE to lie to your children with things you do not know as fact especially on something you are asking them to wrap their entire lives around. Why even send them to school at all? You could just tell them that the only thing they will ever need in life is "God's" love right? Spend all of your hard earn money at the church... you know you will never see a penny of it again. And the next time you place your dollars in the offering plate, think about how you will explain to your children, how you will not be able to afford their college education because you gave it all... to this "God" that does not answer you.... EVER.
Beautiful. I asked Heavenly Father for a sign and He just gave it to me.
This song put a lot of love in my heart thank you so much for writing and singing this song
I hope David always stays as pure as he is here because he is an inspiration to the dark world. He shows us the source of light.
I haven't heard from David archuleta in ages. Since iCarly
At Bz since Hannah Montana
David has the ability to be extremely famous, he is very skilled. Instead he chose to use the fame he does have to share the love of God. What an amazing choice and an inspiration to me. Stay strong David. God bless you! I know the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of our Savior Jesus Christ! I invite you all to learn more and search out for yourself if what I testify is true!
I agree! Love the song!! You are the first comment to say Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
A lovely thought Heavenly Father has plan for me
God bless this young man. What a gift.
In Brazil, we listen David Archuleta! Great song! Binged me wonderful feelings #LIGHTtheWORLD
This song really touched my heart. I have been battling a trial for many years...I actually was sent home early from my mission because my health got so bad that Salt Lake felt it would be better for me to come home and get better. I have been struggling on moving on with my life this past little while...but this gave me hope because he has a plan for me and this song really testified of that simple truth. Thank you for writing it down. It is so meaningful in my life 😊😊
Sister Boyd, your comment touched me. I was also an early return from my mission almost 20 years ago, and something that I've learned from our Father is this: your service, if given with your whole heart (and I have every reason to believe yours was), it was enough, no matter how long you were able to be 'in the field'. What matters now is what you do next. How will you serve Him the rest of your life? Keep on keeping on, Sister! We are both beloved daughters of a Heavenly Father who not only loves us, but KNOWS our hearts and our desires to serve Him. Though His plan for our lives might not be what we had envisioned when we put on the name tag, we are no less serviceable to Him even after taking off the tag! ♥
Thank you so much Sister Evans! It is so comforting to know that I am not alone when things happen in our lives.
Tess Boyd don't you give up ! just like the general authorities tell us ! you have an important mission in this life ~ even if you aren't on a typical "mission " you still have a mission in life. you are unique and irreplaceable just like we were told In conference. i believe in you and you're in my prayers :) jl
My friend just sent me a message today, and it's about how to say a prayer. Yesterday I was listening to this song and the message really touches my heart. I couldn't sleep last night, I prayed for a long time and it feels like there's really someone who listen to me..I was crying to God. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing hope. Thank you for this song David, I am learning to be patient, and I will keep this thought in my heart "don't despair God is always with you." I also said in my prayer last night, that I am thankful for having a friend who always remind me the importance of prayer..
I have a testimony of prayer 😊
I love the Savior. Thanks David.
Love the words! Amazing song! Praise the Lord!
So proud of you David, thank you for sharing your gift with us💗💗💗
I am a Muslim. We love the Prophet Isa. I love this song.
Jesus is the messiah the son of God, He is my savior, your savior, my Lord and your Lord, there is no other like him, Jesus loves you and He coming soon, receive him into your life and heart.
Haleluyah!!
Glory to God!! 🙌🙇♂️
This is truly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It doesn't matter what you believe.. this song is incredible. God is always with you..
I love David archuleta's Christmas music it's inspiring and really cool
I could listen to this again and again. I cannot believe how addicted I am to this song.
