Dancing Through the Waves: Finding God’s Love in the Midst of Struggle
Life can feel heavy sometimes. Maybe you’re battling depression, carrying the weight of anxiety, or simply struggling to keep going under the pressure of your circumstances. Whatever it is, those moments of exhaustion and self-doubt can leave you wondering: Does God see me? Does He care?
The truth is, He does. Songs like “Dancing on the Waves” by We The Kingdom remind us that God’s love is deeply personal. He meets us right where we are—in the midst of our struggles—and invites us to trust Him with our burdens. This song feels like a love letter straight from God, gently reminding us that we don’t have to carry life’s weight on our own.
Let’s unpack some of these beautiful lyrics and the Scripture they reflect, and discover how they speak to the heart of anyone who feels weary, uncertain, or just in need of a reminder that God’s love is real and unshakable.
God Is Standing at Your Door
“I’m standing at your door / My heart is calling yours / Come fall into My arms”
When life feels overwhelming, it’s easy to believe you’re alone or that God is far away. But these opening lines remind us of a beautiful truth: God is always near. He’s standing at the door of your heart, knocking gently, ready to hold you in His arms.
In Revelation 3:20 (NIV), Jesus says:
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.”
God isn’t waiting for you to fix yourself or figure everything out before coming to Him. He’s calling to you right now, offering rest, peace, and His comforting presence. His arms are always open, no matter where you are in life or what you’re facing.
Rest for the Weary Soul
“You’re weary from it all / Been running for too long / I’m here to bring you home”
Have you ever felt like you’ve been running on empty? Whether it’s the weight of responsibilities, the pressure to perform, or just the weariness of daily life, it can feel like you’ll never catch a break. But here, God speaks directly to that tiredness: “Come to Me. Let Me bring you home.”
Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) echo this invitation:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
God doesn’t ask you to carry your burdens alone. He offers rest—not just a temporary break, but a deep, soul-level rest that brings peace in the middle of life’s storms.
A Love That Pursues You
“I’ll chase you down / I dare you to believe how much I love you now”
Sometimes, the hardest thing to believe is that we’re truly loved. Whether it’s self-doubt, shame, or feelings of unworthiness, it’s easy to listen to the voice that says, You’re not enough. But this lyric counters those lies with a bold truth: God’s love for you is relentless.
Romans 8:38-39 (NLT) proclaims this unshakable promise:
“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.”
Let that truth sink in: there is nothing—not your mistakes, not your doubts, not even your struggles—that can separate you from God’s love. He’s chasing you down, daring you to believe that His love is real, even in this very moment.
Walking on the Water, Dancing on the Waves
“Don’t be afraid / I am your strength / We’ll be walking on the water, dancing on the waves”
When struggles feel like waves threatening to overwhelm you, it’s natural to feel afraid. The story of Jesus and Peter walking on the water (Matthew 14:22-33) reminds us of what happens when we take our eyes off Jesus and focus on the storm: we sink. But here’s the beautiful part—when Peter cried out, “Lord, save me!” Jesus immediately reached out His hand to catch him.
If you feel like you’re sinking under the weight of life right now, remember this: God’s hand is always reaching out to you. You don’t have to face the waves alone.
Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) reassures us:
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
And the image of “dancing on the waves” reminds us that with God, we can move beyond just surviving. The very waves that once threatened to pull us under can become places of freedom and joy when we walk with Him.
Healing and Renewal
“Your past is dead and gone / Your healing has begun / I’m making all things new”
Whether your struggle involves regret, shame, or just the pain of circumstances beyond your control, this lyric speaks to a powerful truth: with God, your past doesn’t define you. He is always at work, bringing healing and making things new.
2 Corinthians 5:17 (CSB) says:
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!”
Healing is often a process, and it might feel slow or incomplete. But God is faithful. He promises to walk with you every step of the way, restoring what is broken and renewing your heart in His time.
God Made It All for You
“I set every star into place so you would remember My name / I made it all for you”
When struggles leave you feeling insignificant or unseen, this lyric reminds us of the vastness of God’s love. The same God who set the stars in place knows you by name.
Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV) declares:
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
You are not forgotten. You are deeply loved by the Creator of the universe, who sees your pain, your struggles, and your heart—and calls you His.
Putting Your Struggles Into God’s Hands
Whatever you’re facing today—whether it’s depression, anxiety, or simply the weariness of life—“Dancing on the Waves” is a tender reminder that you don’t have to carry it alone. God is with you, reaching out His hand, offering love, rest, and healing.
Take a moment to let these truths sink in. Let the lyrics and Scriptures remind you that you are seen, cherished, and held. Life’s waves might feel overwhelming, but the One who calms the storms is walking with you.
Will you dare to believe how much He loves you? Will you trust Him with your struggles? Because with Him, even the heaviest burdens can be lifted, and even the fiercest waves can become a place to dance.
