I am enjoying the peace in this early morning, listening to worship music and letting God just BE in me. One of my favorite times with God, the quiet moments. The times when you feel him completing you, healing you and holding you. I am struggling and He knows. I love this entire song, the first paragraph is what he gave to me this morning. I have His peace, my heart/flesh have not caught up yet. He is my anchor. He keeps me grounded and reminds me that this is His perfect plan. I have comfort knowing He has a perfect plan for me and my family. I am taking comfort in knowing, It is well.
"I Will Rise" by Chris Tomlin
There’s a peace I’ve come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There’s an anchor for my soul
I can say, “It is well”
Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead
I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God, fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise
There’s a day that’s drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes
And I hear the voice of many angels sing, “Worthy is the Lamb”
And I hear the cry of every longing heart, “Worthy is the Lamb”
I love those quiet moments too. Worship music can be so good to just meditate and feel closer to God. I am praying for you and love you!

My quiet moments are not often enough. I love that song (I love Chris Tomlin!) but it great to just reads those words, without the music, and meditate. Thanks for sharing.

"WHILE IM WAITING"
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait
I will move ahead, bold and confident
Takeing every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait
I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord
