Our Soul Longs for the Quiet Touch of God

Verses: Psalms 42: 1 - 11

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.




My thoughts about the verses:

Peace is the one thing that we all long for.  We long for a peace that overflows our mind and soul.  We search for a quietness that calms all of our fears and doubts.  We long for never-ending strength and comfort.

It doesn’t matter who you are there is the need to have this peace in our life.  We strive to find calmness in people.  We search for quietness in the places that we go.  We look for strength and comfort in the events that we participate in.

We think if few can find this peace and calmness we can survive all things.  We look at people that have found peace and envy them.  We think that they have accomplished something that may not be for us.  We decide that if we can have their peace our life would be so different. 

There is a way to get that peace.  There is a way to end your searching.  We simply need the peace that comes from God’s gentle touch.  When you ask God into your life you will have the calmness that will overcome all of our fear and doubts.  Our heart can receive the strength and comfort it needs if we turn our life over to God.

It is simple to have the things that most of us long for we need to turn our lives over to God.  As soon as we turn over your life over to God things that change forever.  It is very simple to achieve this if we turn it over to the one that provides all of our needs. 
Yet, the problem is that we are afraid to handle over that control of our life.  We try our best to achieve peace on all of our own.  We think we can achieve peace in things, people and events.  Yet, as hard as we struggle we can never find the peace we need if we do not turn it over to God.  Deep down inside we know this to be true. Yet, it takes the strength to let go and let God enter our lives that brings that peace.  The struggling ends because we have the utmost peace.  There is no ending to the peace that comes from having God the center of our life. 

Allow the peace that comes from turning your life over to God fill your soul, body and mind.  Allow yourself to be wrapped in the strength and comfort of God.  In the end you will see that what you have always longed for is God.  That the peace you have searched from comes for a Spirit that has found the quietness of having God live in you.

Prayer:

We thank you God for our peace.  We thank you God for giving us comfort and strength.  We praise you God for entering our life and setting us free.  We thank you God for helping us with our daily struggles.  In the name of the Source of Peace we pray.  Amen

Questions:


Have you been searching for peace?  Have you been struggling with doubt and fear?  Have you asked God to give you strength?  Have you asked God to come into your life so you may have peace?  If you haven’t asked God into your heart is today the day?  Is today the day you find the peace that you need to be complete?
