Watching a parent battle cancer is one of life's most difficult experiences. In this heartfelt episode, Benel offers encouragement for anyone walking beside their mother through illness, reminding listeners that God is present in the pain, faithful in the waiting, and near to the brokenhearted.

GRACE FOUND ME

Sometimes grace shows up when you've run out of strength.
Sometimes grace finds you in places you never expected.
And sometimes grace reminds you that your story isn't over.

This is a special bonus release from my upcoming gospel project. No message today. Just music.

I pray this song encourages you, uplifts you, and reminds you that no matter where you've been or what you've faced, God's grace is still reaching for you.

If this song speaks to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

— Benel

"I spent years trying to earn what God had already given freely. Grace isn't something you achieve. It's something you receive. This song is for everyone who has ever felt unworthy, forgotten, or too far gone. Grace knows how to find you"
