There are times when we face battles and struggles which threaten to overwhelm us or when life is so horrendously busy that we feel we spend all our time just ‘chasing our tails.’ Ps 46:10 reminds us that we need to ‘be still and know that I am God.’ Jeremy Camp’s song ‘Be Still’ is achingly simple, but the truths it contains help to calm our hearts and refocus our perspective. You can listen by clicking on the title after the lyrics.
‘Lord, help me now to face this battle.
My strength has failed and my eyes can’t see
Through the waves of doubt that take me under.
In the chaos I hear You speak.
Be still and know that You are my God.
Be still and know that You are enough.
Though my heart is racing, still You’re in control.
Be still and know that You are my God.
You brought me rest in times of struggle.
I lay my head down at Your feet.
The storm in me that I can’t wrestle
Is calmed when I hear you speak.
You are faithful
And Your love endures forever
Yes, Your love endures forever.
You are able
In You I’ll stand forever
Yes, in You I’ll stand forever.’ (‘Be Still’, Jeremy Camp)
