    About SEU Worship (feat. Sara Shiver)

    SEU Worship is a worship collective of staff, students and alumni from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, releasing original congregational songs that emerge from campus chapel services.

    Faith journey and beliefs

    As a university ministry ensemble, SEU Worship's stated purpose is cultivating Spirit-led, Jesus-centred praise for the church; public biographical detail on featured vocalist Sara Shiver's individual testimony is limited.

    What this song is about

    As a congregational worship song from SEU Worship's chapel-service catalogue, "I Will" functions as a declaration of commitment to worship God; specific artist commentary on this particular track's writing is limited in available public sources.

    Reflection

    Declarations of intent, 'I will trust,' 'I will follow,' 'I will praise,' carry a different weight than passive feelings, because they involve the will choosing something regardless of mood. Scripture is full of such resolute statements, none more famous than Job's declaration amid devastating loss: 'Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him,' Job 13:15. This is not emotional denial but a decision made ahead of feeling, trusting that faithfulness does not depend on constant enthusiasm. Worship songs built around 'I will' statements function almost as vows, spoken not because the singer always feels like worshipping but because they are choosing to anyway. That distinction matters enormously for ordinary faith, which cannot run on inspiration alone and must be sustained through discipline and commitment during flatter, harder seasons. Saying 'I will' is an act of hope directed towards the future, trusting that today's decision to remain faithful will matter later, even if it does not feel significant right now.

    Questions to sit with

    • What is one thing you can commit to doing regardless of how you feel?
    • How do you keep faith when emotion and motivation are both low?
    • What vow or promise to God do you find hardest to keep consistently?
