Songs

This is from Faithful Grace….

Lord, it is well with my soul, a declaration I’m choosing to make even when my circumstances aren’t well, when my body hurts, when my heart breaks, when nothing feels okay.

This isn’t denying reality or pretending everything is fine, it’s declaring that at the deepest level, where it matters most, my soul rests secure in You regardless of what’s happening around me.

Teach me the difference between my circumstances and my soul, that one can be chaos while the other remains at peace, that external storms don’t have to create internal ones.

I can say it is well with my soul even when life isn’t well, health isn’t well, relationships aren’t well, finances aren’t well, because my soul’s wellness isn’t tied to those things.

Help me anchor my soul in You so deeply that whatever happens to my body, my plans, my life, the core of who I am remains settled, steady, at peace in Your hands.

Remind me that Horatio Spafford wrote these words after losing his children, proving it’s possible to declare wellness of soul in the midst of devastating loss and pain.

Give me grace to make this declaration authentically, not as denial but as defiant faith, choosing to affirm that despite everything, it is well with my soul because You hold it.

Let me say with confidence today and always, it is well with my soul, not because everything is okay but because my soul is anchored in the God who is always okay.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen

Through the hard times in life … many times … songs are what put to words what.our hearts need to hear…. or words that are sung express our inward desires and hopes. I love this song by Mercy Me…

Make it well with my soul
Don’t let me face this loneliness alone
Make it well with my soul
I need a peace that only heaven knows
Jesus, could you please
Just sit and cry with me
‘Til I can sing
‘Til I can sing

It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
Whatever my lot
You are still my God
It is well
It is well with my soul

Make it well with my soul
When the storm is raging, please don’t let me go
Oh, voice that calms the sea
Keep whispering to me
So I can sing
So I can sing

It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
Whatever my lot
You are still my God
It is well
It is well with my soul

Make it well with my soul
Oh
Make it well with my soul
Make it well with my soul

Make it well with my soul
Keep this heart from hardening like stone
Show me through the pain
There’s reason still to praise
So I can sing
So I can sing

It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
Whatever my lot
You are still my God, oh
Whatever my lot
You are still my God, oh
Whatever my lot
You are still my God

It is well
It is well with my soul
