What the ‘American Idol’ finalists have said about faith, worship and God’s guidance

3. Keyla Richardson: ‘God has been everything’
Richardson, a pastor’s daughter, music teacher and mother from Pensacola, Florida, has also repeatedly discussed her love for worship music and her gratitude that faith conversations have been welcomed on the show.
During “Songs of Faith Night,” Richardson performed “Jireh” by Elevation Worship and Maverick City Music.
“There were times in my life where I would sit with God in my room … and tears would just fall,” Richardson said. “God has been everything I need Him to be.”
The 29-year-old artist told CP that her faith has been the sustaining force throughout the competition.
“My faith is the only thing that has kept me this far, and that’s the only thing that’s going to keep me,” she said. “All my help comes from the Lord.”
