Be Still My Soul

January 1, 2013 by Tracey 4 Comments

I love new beginnings.

From a fresh start every morning to the first day of a new year, I welcome the chance to evaluate where I am and make plans for where I want to be. 

Along with the excitement however, can come a tinge of apprehension, wondering what lies ahead.

As we step into 2013 today, I find the words of this hymn particularly comforting.

Be Still My Soul

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear
patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and
provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain
.
Be still, my soul: thy
best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful
end.

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as
He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now
mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still, my soul: the waves and winds
still know
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.

~Katharine von Schlegel

Praising the Lord for His blessings in 2012, thanking Him for His grace and protection, and looking forward to seeing His plan unfold for our family – and yours – in 2013!

    Amen and amen. Beautiful hymn, beautiful thoughts. The LORD is indeed good and has blessed us greatly. Far more than most of us even realise, probably! x Happy new year, my friend! x
