Be still, my soul,
The Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to your God, to order and provide.
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul,
Your best your heavenly friend,
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul,
Your God will undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake.
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul,
The waves and winds still low
His voice who ruled them while he lived below.
Be still, my soul,
Be still, my soul,
Be still.
The Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to your God, to order and provide.
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul,
Your best your heavenly friend,
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul,
Your God will undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake.
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul,
The waves and winds still low
His voice who ruled them while he lived below.
Be still, my soul,
Be still, my soul,
Be still.
Those of you that know me, know how hard it is for me to be still. I am being still today. As John Piper says, I am waging war against my sin. My sin of fear and anxiety. In order to do that I must be still. When I say wage war, I mean wage war. This is war!!! I have fear coming from every direction I will not let it take over. I choose to believe the voice of truth.

saying a prayer for you today. love, jess
Oh Jen, I know too often the sin of fear and anxiety. In fact, the Lord is really dealing with that in my own life. Thank you for reminding me that yes it is a battle, and that YES it is a Sin.
Thank you Father for Jen, please be with her today and go to battle for her. Cause her soul to be still and let her feel the peace that comes when the sin of fear and anxiety are purged. I pray this in your son's name, Jesus. Amen.
I know that battle well.
Praying for you sweet friend.

Jen, I can't find your email address... please email me when you get a chance at spearsfamilyne@windstream.net. I am very upset that you and some of our other agency friends are having such difficulties bringing your children home. Praying for you every day.
