I was so troubled and anxious as I was driving to pick up my carpool buddy Tara. I turned on the radio and this song was playing. I can't tell you how much it ministered to me.
So often life isn't simple. I have a tendency to want to keep things peaceful. But that isn't always possible. After all, I cannot control others. But I can choose my response to circumstances and people.
I find that I can come to Jesus and ...find comfort and peace.
The world cannot provide that but He can. How thankful I am that He is always with me.
I encourage you to visit Amy at Signs, Miracles and Wonders to listen to other songs for Then Sings My Soul Saturday.
Blessings and love,
Thank you for this. This is just what I needed for today. Have a wonderful Arizona weekend.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
I love this song...it has ministered to me on many occasions...
ReplyDeleteAmen. Thanks I needed that. I also loved the words that you wrote. Very true and profound. Reminds me of something I heard last week about living vertically. Just do your best and give it over to God. Thanks for the reminder. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great song. AMEN
ReplyDeleteI love that song. It's such a sweet reminder.
ReplyDeleteI just prayed for you, friend. I hope you are having a rest-filled weekend. And I hope next week is filled with joy....surprises...and revelations in Him. He is faithful.
I always appreciate your honesty and positive attitude. You're a blessing :)
Hugs,
Kate :)
Debbie, I listened to the song you shared with misty eyes. It was my first time to hear it. What a beautiful song... it ministered to my heart.
ReplyDeleteDear friend, I have been going through uncertain times too these past days, and I have no idea what is ahead of me as a battle I have fought at another level before looms big before my eyes.
So I can relate to you, albeit under different circumstances.
How easy it is to just Fly to Jesus... and end it all. But we're still here... and so fight we must... and Live at the same time.
I want you to know this truth in your heart: Jeremiah 31:2 - The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness - Israel when I went to give him rest.
Keeping you close,
Lidj
Such a beautiful song. I hope you have a very Blessed weekend. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteamen - love this song too!
ReplyDeleteI had a day yesterday...I love this song. Thanks for sharing and the reminder that we only control our own responses : ) Take care.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your week. I miss seeing you. I loved the song and I too have to remember to Come to Jesus and only He can give us the peace our hearts so yearn for.
ReplyDeleteDear Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be shallow, but I know from experience that the only way to find peace, is to lean on Jesus and let him solve your troubles. After all, that's just what he has encouraged us to do.
Matth 11: 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
We both know it has worked before, and as impossible as it may seem, He will keep his word over and over again.
Many times I think I ought to keep a diary over all the promises fulfilled. I haven't done it so far.What a shame. I pray and I agonize, but when I'm heard I'm like the nine leprosies. Even so I have the courage to thread in front of the throne of grace, over and over again.
Because I know, He's there, and I am loved.
Sometimes it seems our problems
ReplyDeleteand circumstances loom larger
than life, but, Jesus is so
much larger. He IS our LIFE
and I know you realize this.
Life is hard. I know that for
sure but I also know He has
never failed me and He won't
fail you either. Set your eyes
on the prize...
Love,
Sandy
I have had one of those weeks too.....Love your post and needed it
ReplyDeleteThat song always moves me in a powerful way. I first heard it about 5 years ago when our pastor played it during a worship service. Thank you for sharing it today. Knowing that our Lord is there, ready to help us in all circumstances is a joy beyond compare.
ReplyDeleteBlessings & Love, Joan
Thinking of you! Praying for you too! "Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths; guide me in Your truth & teach me." Ps.25:4-5

This song always touches my heart. Sorry to hear you have been going through it. I'll be praying for you my friend.
ReplyDeletePrecious sister,
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you even now...
Cast your cares upon the LORD (as I am), as He cares for us and will sustain us. I love you!
Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard this song in awhile, but it always ministers to me, too. I imagine you driving in your car and hearing the words, I know it must have brought blessing to you. It is a powerful invitation to us. Thank-you for sharing your heart.
Love you.
