Heavenly Father, please help me to lavish grace on those who don’t deserve it for You lavished it on me when I did not deserve it. Please help me to breath grace when it is the hardest to do, for You let Your Son suffer for me. I want to be like You.
God’s deep, not yours; be still and sleep.
When I battle fear (which is usually because of circumstances in my life), I like reading this. Comforting words – God is in control of my situation. Praise His Name!
Tonight , my soul, be still and sleep;
The storms are raging on God’s deep-
God’s deep, not yours; be still and sleep.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep;
God’s hands will still the Tempter’s sweep-
God’s hands, not yours; be still and sleep.
Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep;
God’s love is strong while night hours creep-
God’s love, not yours; be still and sleep.
Tonight my soul, be still and sleep;
God’s heaven will comfort those who weep-
God’s heaven, not yours ; be still and sleep.
(from Streams in the Desert)
