“Never Give Up” – Encouraging the Hopeless, Weary, and Anxious Souls



Episode #152 of the Worship Interludes Podcast is called “Never Give Up”.  As I recorded this piece, I was especially thinking about all of those people who just want to give up.   You feel defeated and hopeless.  You are weary, anxious, and can’t seem to find peace.



I’ve battled all of these emotions for over a year now.   They are real.   They are painful.   Yet, I know deep in my heart that God is good, and He is the source of peace.



As you listen, my prayer is that God’s peace will flood your soul and that you will have eyes to see His goodness.

“Morning Coffee” – Solo Piano Instrumental for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, and Rest



I’m finally back in the studio and after a few months’ hiatus (again), I’m happy to be releasing a new piano interlude for my Worship Interludes Podcast.   I called this one “Morning Coffee” – having my coffee in the morning with my quiet time is one of my favorite parts of the day.



I hope that you can listen to this short, five minute interlude and that it brings a sense of peace and calm to your day.



Thank you for listening!Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

“Time to Listen” – Peaceful, Relaxing Solo Piano Music for Prayer, Meditation, Reflection, Relaxing



Last night I was listening to an Atlanta Braves baseball game on the radio.  In between innings there was a commercial which was a short devotion by a pastor.   The short 30-second devotion reminded us that God often speaks in a still, small voice and that we don’t typically hear Him unless we slow down, make ourselves quiet, and listen.



It inspired me to finally sit down and record again for the first time in over 2 months.



This short, 5-minute interlude should help you slow down, quieten yourself, and listen …

“At Peace” – Solo Piano Improvisation Background Music for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, Worship



I decided to forego the pads and extra layers of sound this morning and just record the pure, simple piano.    The Key of Eb is one of my favorite keys and is where I began.   This morning was a sweet time of worship for me.  I sang to my Lord spontaneously and prayed as I played throughout this improvisation.   It just felt sweet and peaceful to me.



I hope that you enjoy it as well.   Thanks so much for your support and listening.   Whether you utilize this podcast as a soundtrack for prayer, meditating, studying, relaxing, or even sleeping – I’m just glad that I’m able to share it with you and that you are out there listening.



Grace and peace,Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer

“Pursuit” – Piano Instrumental Interlude for Prayer, Meditation, Relaxation, Worship, Mindfulness



Welcome to episode #266 of my Worship Interludes Podcast.    This episode is called “Pursuit” and is in the key of G-minor.   The interlude lasts nearly eight minutes.    I suppose it’s the nature of the minor key and the melody that came forth as I was recording, but this interlude has a pressing, trial-like vibe.



When we are in pursuit of something, it’s often a long, hard journey.   I have set some personal goals for 2022 and although I’m already encouraged by the results I’m seeing, I also realize it’s going to be a long journey.   I”m in pursuit of something – and it may take a while!



I hope this interlude will help you pray, meditate, or just simply relax and focus on your next steps.   Perhaps that next step is nothing more than being aware and grateful for where you are in your journey today.
