Be Still My Soul

Its almost 1:00am and I cant sleep. I just had a very long and emotional time on my knees in prayer. I really was feeling incredibly lonely and like there was just no hope for me. Its alot of things coming together at once and its overwhelming sometimes. Through my tears mixed with prayers I begged God to speak to my heart to let me know He was still there. During my prayer the hymn "Be Still my Soul" suddenly came into my mind. I think its something God wanted me to hear. I really needed it.
Be Still My Soul

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change God faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future, as in ages past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
the Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow for forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.


Kinda makes for a good lullaby and it really gave me some peace. I think I am gonna load it onto my ipod and try to go to sleep with it playing in the background.
