Trust, Rest and Find Peace

My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. Psalm 62:1

My only rest comes from being in God's presence. The minute that I am out of His presence, that rest is gone. Today has been one of those days. I just want to run from work and seek the face of the Lord. I want to go to a place where I can get on my face and pour my heart out to Him. I find that when I am not in this rest and His presence, trusting Him becomes harder and harder. I am on edge, and my mind and my heart argue. Peace, rest and trust...this is all found in the Lord's presence. My soul is not at rest today because my heart has been dependent on other things and has trusted in other matters and people. HE is the only presence that I can experience that true peace, rest, and trust.

Lord may this be true in my heart. May I seek that rest in You, and only You. May I know that You are my only Deliverer and Prince of Peace. You are rest. Thank you that even when I am off, you are there. Even when I fail to trust You and rest in You, You seek me and pursue me. May I cast my burdens off and put You on. I love you, Lord.

Rich Mullins - Hold me Jesus

"Well sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
When the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

So hold me Jesus 'cause
I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul I
swear there must be blisters on my heart

So hold me Jesus 'cause
I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight You for something I don't really want
Than to take what You give that I need

And I've beat my head against so many walls
Now I'm falling down
I'm falling on my knees

And this Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And Your grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so thin

I'm singing hold me Jesus 'cause
I'm shaking like a leaf
You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace

You have been King of my glory
Won't You be my Prince of Peace "
