My soul finds rest in God alone...

This has been a phrase that has been hard for me to swallow of late. It has not been that I do not believe that. I do with all my heart. But getting my soul to rest in the perfect peace that my Father offers has been difficult.

What I have realized is that I am struggling in the area of "getting". Whether I acknowledge it or not, the peace is there and there is nothing to be gotten...

This is something that the Lord has had to reiterate in my life on multiple occasions. How to go from "getting" to "letting" has been quite the process.

It is amazing how many barriers we throw up and processes that we think we need to go through to get this peace. Prayer is another example of an area where I feel I have created this massive process and it has become exhausting.

The peace is there. Let the Lord surround you with it. "Letting" is not an easy thing to do but there is so much freedom in doing so.

As for prayer...

The Lord is still teaching me how to do that. He knows my needs. He has assured me that He is going to take care of me just as he has taken care of the birds of the air and the lilies of the field.

So all that is left is to speak my heart. And praise the God who saved our soul and granted us that perfect peace.

Psalm 62:1-2
My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
