'Rest' by Hannah B. Johnson: Nurture your Soul, Find His Peace


Moments of respite are much sought-after in the rush of our daily lives, perhaps none more so than in the heart of a believer yearning for God's peace. This is the poignant story behind Hannah B. Johnson's beautiful song 'Rest.' 'Rest' became Hannah's prayer, born from an overwhelmed heart seeking tranquility in an increasingly noisy world—a prayer she now shares with us, two years later and after uprooting her life to move closer to her family in Nashville.

Hannah B. Johnson - Rest'Make it quiet in here,' the song's heartfelt lyrics say. 'Calm my raging fears. Help me hear Your voice above the endless noise.'— 'Rest' speaks to tired souls navigating life's noisy turmoil. It leads us to divine solace—God's reassuring presence, which, in His vastness, blankets us in silent calm, quells our fears, and quiets the clamor.

Hannah presents 'Rest' as a sanctifying hymn, a soothing antidote to life's hardships, with the humble invitation to dwell in God's holy presence, to trust and believe in Him with every fiber of our being. It captures our deepest longing, highlighting the transformative power of faith, the comfort of divine presence, and the hope that springs from our relationship with Him.

We wholeheartedly encourage everyone to immerse themselves in the profound simplicity and divine truth of 'Rest'. Allow it to nourish your soul, guide you to peace, and draw you closer to His never-failing divine presence.

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...
