‘My Jesus’ singer Anne Wilson tells why she’s on fire for God after brother's tragic death

"I became a follower of Him and didn't know just what would happen three years later. In 2017 my older brother, Jacob, passed away in a car accident at the age of 23,” Wilson said in an interview with The Christian Post. “That was such a hard season in my life. He was my best friend, and I loved him with everything in me.

“We were so close and he died tragically in a car accident and died on impact,” she continued. “So out of nowhere the police come to our house in the middle of the night and tell us the news. As you can imagine, it's very devastating to receive news like that.”

The tragedy of Jacob's death was devastating for Wilson and her family but amid the heartache, they found comfort in Jesus.

"Instead of turning from Him, we chose to walk closer to Him through that time,” she said. “So I became on fire for the Lord and we just chose to trust Him. We saw the Lord do a lot of really incredible things and [He] was just so faithful and kind to me and my family and it was such a sweet season.”
