— -- As the search for missing country singer Craig Strickland continues today, his wife, Helen Strickland, remains hopeful that her husband will be found.

"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book," she wrote on Twitter late Tuesday night, quoting a verse from the Book of Psalms.

"You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." - Psalm 56:8 ??

Earlier she thanked friends and fans of the couple for all their prayers.

The search is called for the night-will resume in the morning. We are overwhelmed with the love and prayers we have received. Thank you all.

The Backroad Anthem front man has been missing following a hunting trip in the middle of a storm. The body of Strickland's friend Chase Morland, 22, who accompanied him on the hunting trip, was found Monday in northern Oklahoma near Tulsa, Capt. Paul Timmons told ABC News.

Morland tweeted on Sunday about going out with Strickland, 29, writing, "In case we don't come back, @BackroadCRAIG and I are going right through Winter Storm Goliath to kill ducks in Oklahoma. #IntoTheStorm."

On Monday, Morland's wife Helen tweeted that her husband's boat "has been confirmed as being capsized." She also updated friends and fans on the couple's dog Sam, who was with the guys during the incident.

For everyone wanting to know, Sam is fine. He was a brave boy. He wouldn't leave Chase's body until the Warden found him.
