I just sat back, closed my eyes, and the words ‘God’s Got This’ came to me,” said Myers.  “…and now, in listening to the media, reading posts with frantic reactions to current events, my heart felt burdened. I wanted to share this message of faith. I hope the message offers anyone listening, a renewal of faith to believe that no matter the struggle, HE is right here with us.” More at https://www.frankmyersmusic.com/
