Ella Langley took a moment during a recent concert to share an encouraging message with her fans.
The “Be Her” singer has always been open about her Christian faith. Growing up Southern Baptist in a small Alabama town, faith was instilled in her from a very young age.
As life’s gone on and she’s faced both highs and lows while learning to navigate life in the spotlight, she’s leaned on that faith to help her through some difficult times.
For example, last year, Ella saw her career take off in a major way. Things were moving fast, and almost overnight, she found herself topping charts with “You Look Like You Love Me” and taking home multiple ACM Awards.
But even with all that success, she later admitted she had never felt more mentally exhausted than during one of the biggest moments of her career.
She ended up stepping away for a while to spend time with family and read her Bible for two weeks. When she returned, she became stronger than ever.
She went on to release her massive hit “Choosin’ Texas,” and just a few months later, she followed it up with her sophomore album Dandelion.
One song in particular on the album, “Loving Life Again,” holds a special meaning. The 27-year-old wrote the track based on her own mental health journey and what it was like to finally reach a place where she felt happiness again.
The song hits home for a lot of people who have gone through struggles like Ella’s, and she knows that. That’s why it’s become a regular part of her show for her to take time before performing the song to share a message about faith, hope, and trusting God.
Back in May, a video of Ella went viral after a fan captured one of her powerful messages. In the clip, she spoke about being grateful for life’s blessings and urged anyone going through a hard time to place their worries in God’s hands.
Part of Ella’s speech included:
“I’m gonna tell you right now that, if you’re in that spot that I was in, if you feel like, ‘I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to do it. I don’t know how to wake up in the morning…You trust Him, and you will be back to lovin’ life again. I promise you that.”
Ella Langley Reassures Fans: “You Are Good Enough”
And recently, Ella gave yet another one of her inspiring speeches. She was performing at the Railbird Festival in Lexington, Kentucky, when she paused before singing “Loving Life Again.”
She took the moment to remind everyone in the crowd that they are worthy and valued.
“You are good enough today,” she began. “The fact that you woke up this morning made you good enough for today. The fact that we have a God that loves us is why you are good enough today. You will always be good enough. We’ll always fall short but always be good enough for that kind of love.”
She continued, “I hope today that if you heard anything from me in this set tonight, I want you to feel that kind of love. Because there’s no one else in this world that can give it to you the way that our Lord and Savior can — that type of love. I want you to wake up grateful for the day you’ve been given. Even the sh-t that goes wrong, at least you’re living this beautiful life that we have.”
Her message was directed towards herself just as much as it was to the crowd. She went on to say that she also reminds herself that no matter how tough things get, there are always better days ahead.
“That’s what I try to remind myself; I’m preaching to myself up here. If I wake up and feel like, ‘I don’t know if I can do this day.’ Yes, I can, because this is what I was put on this earth to do, and I’m gonna wake up with confidence and do it. And I’m gonna be grateful that I’ve been given the opportunity to stand up here tonight in front of this crowd and sing the songs and get to do the thing that I’ve always wanted to do in this life.”
“Today, I’m trying to speak to the person that doesn’t feel that way,” Ella added. “The person that’s almost there or maybe not at all there. You are good enough, and there is a day you will be back to loving life again. This life is good. You will be back there to do that, I promise you.”
