"Amazing Grace"
"For the Beauty of the Earth"
"Holy holy holy" - One of the first hymns I ever sang and my mother liked it.
"How Can I Keep From Singing"
"It Is Well with My Soul"
"O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" - I love the somber yet hopeful tone/imagery.
"Onward, Christian Soldiers"
"The King of Love My Shepherd Is" (from my Lutheran days) - I love the music, of course, but also the words. We sang it at my Mom's funeral too.

As the first item notes below, this question wasn't so much "fun" as an "engagement text." Thanks for your thoughtful responses.

Ukraine situation
Threats to democratic institutions, polarization, climate change
Situation in Ukraine and my health.
I have a quote in my journal, "Worrying is praying for what you don't want." I work on controlling the worrying. :)
My kids
Health
Fire danger
Safe traveling
I'm worried that we can't stop the extreme right from imposing their beliefs on us and that we will lose our democracy.
Concerned about aging and cognition
My daughter and her anxiety, lack of faith, & negative attitude. And my frustration that she is not doing anything to try to make it better.
Income Inequality
Grandchildren safety!
Completing some forms that are required for a scholarship
