In a world where it feels like every time we open our news feeds, there’s another tragedy, another reason to lose hope, I’ve been reminded again and again of the power of prayer. Every song on Don’t Stop Praying was written to capture the many kinds of prayers we lift up through the highs and lows of life—prayers of desperation, gratitude, surrender, and hope. My prayer is that this deluxe version of the album would remind people that even in the darkest days, God hears us, He answers, and He’s not done working. So no matter what you’re facing, #dontstoppraying.
