'Be Still' by Katie Devine: Immersed in Prayerful Serenity


In the midst of life's storms, it can be difficult to find sanctuary, to find the peace and quiet that our souls seek. Yet, in her song 'Be Still,' Katie Devine invites us to explore the divine sanctuary that awaits, a haven formed of faith's changing power and our Creator's comforting presence.

Katie Devine - Be StillDevine's lyrics, which are based on her own spiritual journey, portray a vivid, relatable picture of a heart tortured by challenges and fumbling through a world plagued with sorrow. As the soft waves of her melody surround us, we are urged to let go of our fears, to let go of our troubles, and to find refuge in the arms of the One who offers everlasting peace.

'Be still and know My child, come rest,' the chorus calls, echoing God's invitation to rest in His presence. It is a hope-filled assurance that blossoms with life-giving warmth, reminding us of His unwavering promises to cleanse, redeem, and never abandon those who trust in Him.

'Be Still' is a balm for the tired soul, a tender reminder of divine love that overflows even in the face of hardships, creating a foundation for us to ultimately find our purpose in Christ. Allow this music to enter your heart and reveal the wonderful shelter of God's peace within it.

(Related scripture: Psalm 46:10; Ephesians 1:7; Deuteronomy 31:8)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
