Sometimes, it can be sooo frustrating when I’m composing and I just don’t know if a particular area sounds right. Plus, many times I struggle with knowing if what I’m composing is God-honoring. Quite frequently, questions go through my head like, “What if God doesn’t approve of this style?”/”Are there certain instrument combinations He doesn’t like?” etc. Other general questions cross my mind, too, like “What about this phrase, or what about that phrase?”

So I start looking for answers in books, online, and forums, but yet so often I leave out the two, most helpful resources: the Bible/Prayer
God is the CREATOR of music; it only makes sense we should look to his advice and opinions.

It is without doubt I am going to have to go to him in prayer and Word for His counsel and help on a music project I’m about to tackle. (This area is still pretty difficult for me, but God is faithful and will meet my needs. Besides, you can’t get better at hard things if you don’t practice them.)

I know it might seem silly, but try it when you’re struggling, ask him for help; God can do great things through prayer and reading His Word. (He has MUCH to say about music.)
