'For The Sake Of My Soul' by Carli Lessing: Choosing God’s Presence Over Worldly Pleasures


Carli Lessing's song 'For The Sake Of My Soul' can be a bit of a rude awakening for some, because it is all about realizing what is really important in life. The lyrics are teasing you as the listener into taking a closer look at what you're doing throughout the day. Dare to challenge yourself and question how much time you are wasting on endless scrolling, and buying into the latest trends, only to feel that this is increasing your distance to true peace and fulfillment.

Carli Lessing - For The Sake Of My SoulThis song gently points your focus to what your heart needs the most, a deeper connection with God, away from the noise and chaos, including the your social media. Carli calls to prioritize what truly matters, urging you to let go of worldly pursuits that lead nowhere, to turn off the distractions, and to genuinely seek God's presence.

This isn't a new message, but it is a freshing reminder, especially if your in this constant tug-of-war between the world and the Spirit. The push for more, more, more will never cease, but that push for more will never satisfy the deep yearning of our souls for God's eternal peace and love.

Go ahead and give this song a listen. May Carli’s message remind you that sometimes, by giving up on the world’s game, you’re winning much more than you think - a richer relationship with God.

(Related scripture: Philippians 4:8; Matthew 16:26; Luke 9:23)
