Her movie “The Preacher’s Wife” was very encouraging and uplifting. In the move “The Preacher’s Wife” Whitney played the part of the wife of a minister. Both the wife and minister are very discouraged due to challenging problems. They are both trying to help the church and the community but things continue to go wrong. These situations cause them to pray for help. Whitney Houston sings an encouraging song called “Help Is on the Way”. It talks about when you’re discouraged to hold on because help is on the way. It encourages you not to give up. Not to lose hope.

After they pray for help an angel comes to help them. This is a good movie to watch when you need hope and encouragement. It helps you to turn to God and pray when things are hard.
