“I’m Not Worthy” — Arriving November 2, 2026
This birthday, I’m celebrating another year of life and a special beginning: the release of my debut single, “I’m Not Worthy.”
Sharing this song on my birthday makes the moment even sweeter, but at the heart of this celebration is God’s grace. He has carried me, shaped my testimony, and given me a song to share. My prayer is that every note points you toward His presence and reminds you of His love.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and love throughout this journey. Above all, I want God to be pleased with what I offer Him.
Join me November 2 as “I’m Not Worthy” becomes available on streaming platforms. Another year of life. A new song of surrender. All glory to God.
With love and gratitude,
Dera Monique
My Music
Music is my way of journaling, turning prayers into melodies and letters to God into songs. Sharing it is my way of opening those pages to you.
I’ve loved God since I was a little girl, and I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. That relationship is the foundation of everything I create. I’ve tried singing secular music, but it never felt natural to me. Worship has always felt like home. Writing about God and the journeys I’ve walked with Him is second nature. It’s where my heart finds its voice.
My hope for this space is simple: to share honestly, honor God, and leave something meaningful behind. These songs are part of the legacy I want my children and future grandchildren to have. Pieces of my heart, my faith, and my creative life. My footprint in the sand.
“I’m Not Worthy” came from a place of hurt, defeat, and feeling like I kept falling short. There have been seasons when I felt others were given room to make mistakes while mine were magnified, revisited, and allowed to overshadow everything else about me. Carrying that weight became heavy, and at times, it left me in a dark place I struggled to climb out of.
This song began when I needed God’s help lifting me out of that place. I brought Him the hurt, the shame, and the parts of myself I didn’t know how to put back together. That prayer became a song.
To everyone who shares this space with me, thank you for listening. You’re being welcomed into something deeply personal: an ongoing conversation with God. My prayer is that somewhere in these pages and melodies, you find room to bring Him your own heart, too.
Shows
As I build the ministry I believe God has called me to, I’m prayerfully trusting Him to open doors to minister through song according to His will, His purpose, and His timing.
With my debut single, “I’m Not Worthy,” awaiting release, there are no ministry dates scheduled just yet. As opportunities are confirmed, I’ll share the details here and across my social media platforms.
Thank you for your prayers, love, and encouragement as this journey unfolds. Above all, my desire is to honor God and follow where He leads.
