Scripture references;
LORD, my heart is not proud; my eyes are not haughty. I do not get involved with things too great or too difficult for me. Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself like a little weaned child with its mother; I am like a little child. Israel, put your hope in the LORD, both now and forever. Psalm131 HCSB
I just love Psalm 131! Sometimes we can go to a quiet place where we can literally be very still and bask in that comfort. Other times we just can’t. We have to get dressed, get in that car and go to places that are busy, that present us with tasks to be done, and so many things that require our attention. But we forget that the Lord goes with His children, and we can close our eyes for a moment and return to that place described in the above Psalm. I so often forget that. I might quickly send up a prayer, but I fail to truly avail myself of that privilege. It is my prayer today that I will remember to go there when I am feeling overwhelmed.
Below are a couple songs that I hope will bless you.
He Whispers Sweet Peace to Me
Sometime when misgivings darken the day
And faith’s light I cannot see
I ask my dear Lord to brighten the way
He whispers sweet peace to me (to me)
Chorus:
He whispers sweet peace to me (yes He whispers to me)
He whispers sweet peace to me (He whispers sweet peace to me)
When I am cast down in spirit and soul
He whispers sweet peace to me (to me)
He speaks through His word, assurance He gives
I’m His and I know He’s mine
And safe in the fold my soul He will keep
I’ll rest in His love divine (divine)
I Will Rest in You
I Will Rest In You (lyrics)
Lord, I’m in the dark,
Seems to me the line is dead when I come calling.
No one there, the sky is falling;
Lord, I need to know.
My mind is playing games again,
You’re right where You have always been.
Take me back to You,
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me.
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
Tell me I’m a fool,
Tell me that You love me for the fool I am,
[And*] comfort me like only You can,
And tell me there’s a place
Where I can feel Your breath
Like sweet caresses on my face again.
Take me back to You,
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me.
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
La la la la You.
La la la la la.
La la la la la-ah.
(You,) You la la la la You.
La la la la la-ah. (You.)
Take me back to You.
The place that I once knew as a little child;
Constantly the eyes of God watched over me
Oh, I want to be
In the place that I once knew as a little child,
Fall into the bed of faith prepared for me.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You,
I will rest in You.
Oh, la la la la la
I will rest in You.
(I) I will rest in You. (in You)
I will rest in You. (Sweet caresses)
I will rest in You.
I will rest in You.
(So take me back to You)
I will rest in You (I, I)
I will rest in You.
