Sometimes God uses something as simple as a song on the radio to remind us that we haven’t been forgotten.
We recently heard from Ashley in Saraland, Alabama, who shared how listening to Praise 101.7 WEHS became a source of encouragement during one of the hardest seasons of her life.
Ashley was struggling to find work. Application after application seemed to lead nowhere, and the financial pressure was beginning to take its toll. At the same time, her young teenage twins were going through struggles of their own and had begun acting out at home.
Ashley felt overwhelmed. She was trying to be a good mother, trying to provide for her family, and trying to keep believing that things were going to get better.
Then she found Praise 101.7.
As she listened to the Christian music, Scripture, and encouraging messages, something began to change—not necessarily her circumstances overnight, but her heart.
Songs about trusting God reminded her that He was still working. Messages about hope reminded her that a difficult season wasn’t the end of her story. Instead of beginning each day focused on everything that was going wrong, Ashley began praying more and asking God to guide her family through the storm.
She also began talking more with her twins. The home that had been filled with frustration slowly began to have more prayer, conversation, forgiveness, and hope.
And then another door opened.
Ashley found work.
For her, it was another reminder that God had been with her through the entire journey—even during the days when she couldn’t see what He was doing.
Ashley’s story reminds us why Praise 101.7 WEHS exists.
We aren’t here simply to play Christian music. We want to be a ministry that reaches people wherever they are. Someone may be listening in their car, at work, at home, or hundreds of miles away through our online stream—and God can use the right song or message at exactly the right moment.
If you’re going through a difficult season today, Ashley’s story carries a simple message:
Don’t give up. Keep praying. Keep trusting. God is still working.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.”
Romans 12:12
Thank you, Ashley, for allowing your story to encourage others.
