It Is Well<\/strong><\/p>\n

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.\u00a0<\/em>Ecclesiastes 3:1<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “It Is Well with My Soul” is a hymn penned by hymnist Horatio Spafford. Written in what was a very sad time. After suffering the loss of his children, Spafford wrote this beautiful hymn as a testament to the salvation he found in Jesus through the good and bad times in life.<\/p>\n

Just like the author, we too can attest to having mountain and valley low experiences too.\u00a0 In my life there have been things that I have done that are right, but there have been wrong choices that I have made as well. Yet through it all, I can sing with Spafford \u2013 It is well\u2026<\/p>\n

When we sing this song we are reminding our soul that God is in control. Regardless of our season in life (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8), God teaches us to find internal and eternal peace in Jesus. It is well with my soul!<\/p>\n

I know this is often sung at funerals to provide peace for the grieving family, but today I invite you to enjoy these lyrics to \u201cIt is Well with My Soul\u201d that really minister to my heart.<\/p>\n

\n

When peace like a river attendeth my way<\/em><\/p>\n

When sorrows like sea billows roll<\/em><\/p>\n

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say<\/em><\/p>\n

It is well, it is well with my soul<\/em><\/p>\n

It is well (it is well)<\/em><\/p>\n

With my soul (with my soul)<\/em><\/p>\n

It is well, it is well with my soul<\/em><\/p>\n

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come<\/em><\/p>\n

Let this blest assurance control<\/em><\/p>\n

That Christ (yes, He has) has regarded my helpless estate<\/em><\/p>\n

And has shed His own blood for my soul<\/em><\/p>\n

It is well (it is well)<\/em><\/p>\n

With my soul (with my soul)<\/em><\/p>\n

It is well, it is well with my soul<\/em><\/p>\n

My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought (a thought)<\/em><\/p>\n

My sin, not in part, but the whole (every bit, every bit, all of it)<\/em><\/p>\n

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more (yes!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Prayer for today<\/strong>:\u00a0Loving Father there are so many things going on in this world, good and bad.\u00a0\u00a0Sometimes it can be overwhelming, but in You we find peace.\u00a0\u00a0No matter what happens in the future, it is well with my soul.\u00a0\u00a0It is well with my soul because You are with me. May I feel renewed in Your peace. Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n
