Be Still My Soul

Dear Reader,

"Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end."

My soul has a tendency to be aggitated -- to run around on its own.
I pray the LORD will help me to find peace and stillness in Him.

In His Service,
Lacey

  1. My favorite remedy - "And God's peace [shall be yours, that [a]tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and being content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace] which transcends all understanding shall [b]garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." The entire passage is Phil. 4:6-9 (Amplified says it best) - however, this is my favorite part "Garrison and mount guard." That means that God is actively moving on your behalf to protect your heart and soul from distress. We just have to remember that whatever is bugging us, is HIS responsibility since we cast all of our cares on HIM! ~Alli
