My Resting Place

Leave a reply 
May I stay in the arms of Jesus. May I dwell in His house today
May the Spirit be my guide forever. May I find my resting place

Only in Him can I find rest. Only in Him can I find hope
Only in Him can I find meaning. Only in Him can I find love

For He is God almighty. Maker of heaven and earth
He gave His life as my sacrifice so now I give my life to Him

Take me Lord, Into your loving arms. Take me into your dwelling place
Guide me by the Holy Spirit. Until I find my resting place

There I will praise you. There I will praise you
There I will worship my Lord and King
There will I praise you. There will I praise you
You have provided everything

The Father Has Promised

The Father has promised us rest
In the midst of the trial and test
He will always give us His best
Because He has promised us rest

The Father has promised us peace
He will always set us at ease
All our worries will surely release
Because He has promised us peace

The Father has promised us joy
All our sorrows He will destroy
No enemies weapons annoy
Because He has promised us joy

The Father has promised us hope
Through every trial we will cope
Heaven is ours this we know
Because He has promised us hope

The Father has promised us love
That flows down from His glory above
Throughout life He is enough
Because He has promised us love

It’s easy to find myself looking inside my soul and trying to figure out why I am lacking in so many ways. Inside is where my trouble is, after all. My misgivings, misunderstandings, bad thoughts and evil desires all dwell within. They to do not come from outside of me. The lack of joy, peace, hope and rest in my day to day life is caused by outside factors, but it is within me that I have the power to overcome these shortcomings, isn’t it?

I have found the answer to that question is no, it is not a look inside myself that will fix any of those things that stem out of pride. The only way to have those attributes inside myself is to look above, to look to Jesus. He is all of those things and so much more. Lay your burdens at His feet and he will lift you up out of your weariness and into His arms.

Jeremiah 31:25 King James Version (KJV)
25 For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
