find rest my soul...

i'm sitting at work, ipod on shuffle and one of my favorite songs came on.  "still" by hillsong.  i have probably posted it here before... oh well.  its worth posting again.  and if i wasn't sitting in a cubicle but in my car, i would be singing this song at the top of my lungs probably bawling.  it always seems to hit me right in the gut.  i have such a disease of wanting to control things (my family can attest to this).  getting worked up about how things aren't going the way i  "planned".  getting overwhelmed about my little world that i forget about the One who lets me be a part of it.  getting down about changes i didn't see coming...all of the "what ifs".  how poisoning those thoughts are!!

right now, life seems to be so "noisy".  selling the house, packing, moving, job-hunting (hubs), puppy "training", frustrations, discontentment, friends hurting, family stress, missing community... so many things.  so many big life decisions ahead but yet all we see right now is a big "?".  my mind is always going... always "stressing" about something... i don't remember the last time my soul felt rest. 

i need to just be still.   through all of the "noise", i need to stop and listen to His voice. and realize that He's there.  He hasn't left me.  He hasn't abandoned me. and i can trust Him with all of this.  no matter the outcome... no matter what He brings me to and through... in the end, its all about Him.  

find rest my soul... in quietness and trust.  Lord, may I be still and know you are God.    

here are the lyrics:

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
