Singing It Is Well \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to hill<\/em>. Psalm 95:1-2<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is hard for me to say which of these will be my favorite, but I can say today\u2019s hymn is up there in the top 5% of my favorite hymns. \ud83c\udfb5”It Is Well with My Soul” is a hymn born out of profound sorrow and unwavering faith. Horatio Spafford wrote this hymn after experiencing the tragic loss of his four daughters in a shipwreck. Despite his grief, Spafford penned words that express a deep sense of peace and trust in God: “When peace like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, it is well, it is well with my soul.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Singing this hymn is a powerful act of faith, declaring that no matter what circumstances we face, we can find peace in God\u2019s presence. It reminds us to anchor our souls in the Rock of our salvation, trusting that He will sustain us through every storm. Let “It Is Well with My Soul” be a reminder of the steadfast peace that God offers us.<\/p>\n

I challenge you to reach out to someone who is going through a difficult time and share the message of “It Is Well with My Soul.” Offer your support and pray with them for God\u2019s peace.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today<\/strong>: Loving Father, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, help us to find our peace in You. As we sing “It Is Well with My Soul,” may we be reminded of Your faithfulness and the comfort that comes from trusting in Your promises. Fill us with Your peace, and let our souls be well in Your presence. In Jesus’ name, Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfbcWhen peace like a river, attendeth my way<\/p>\n

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

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

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

It is well<\/p>\n

With my soul<\/p>\n

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

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

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

That Christ has regarded my helpless estate<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!<\/p>\n

My sin, not in part but the whole<\/p>\n

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul!<\/p>\n

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

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

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

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

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

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