'Spaces' by Arcadia Worship: God's Presence in Our Empty Moments


Arcadia Worship’s new single “Spaces” is a song about finding comfort in God’s presence when there is a distance between you and your loved ones. This relateable feeling of distance has been skillfully used to get the listener thinking about what feelings our own distance from God gives us. When we feel far away, whether it is from loved ones or from God, the key is in remembering that God is always near by, filling the spaces and bringing His peace.

Arcadia Worship - spacesThe first verse sets a scene - those tough times you face when you’re separated from the One or ones you care about. Even though you are here, part of your heart is miles away. This song beautifully expresses our need for God’s presence to close that emotional distance. The chorus is a comforting declaration that God fills those empty spaces, holding our hearts together and giving us peace, no matter how scattered our minds might be.

The second verse speaks about when your thoughts are going all over the place, possibly causing anxiety, times when God really pulls you in and recenters your heart, a source of peace that you can’t always comprehend. The bridge reinforces the powerful truth that God isn’t far away. He is and always has been by your side!

This song places a different perspective on distance. God can fill the spaces of any distance. He is ready to fill those spaces with His love and peace. All it takes is for you to invite Him in: 'God I need your presence to come and fill the space.'

May “Spaces” by Arcadia Worship help you to invite His peace and reassurance into your heart.

(Related scripture: Psalm 34:18; Philippians 4:7; Isaiah 41:10)

“I Believe” by Reagan Nichole: A Ten-Year-Old’s Bold Declaration of Faith

What if darkness can’t stay where Jesus lives? Eleven-year-old Reagan Nichole from Texas wrote “I Believe” right after she turned ten. Most of us wait decades before saying what we believe out loud. She sings it! Her opening lines name a fear many people quietly carry with them: “You think that you’ve gone way too far, that there’s no way to turn back.” Have you ever felt that? Reagan reminds us of a promise. Jesus “will wash you clean.” No résumé required. No catching up. She calls the song her personal declaration that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Her faith isn’t a Sunday event. It lives in everyday life and turns dark to light. She sings: “I know He makes the darkness flee.” Jesus said the same thing long before any songwriter did. In John 8:12 He tells us, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” Notice the verb, “…follow …” . His light isn’t something you earn. You walk in it, one step at a time, right in t...

"Digging Ditches" Brandon Drit: Preparing for Water You Can’t See

Obedience comes first. The rain comes later. Brandon Drit knows what dry seasons can feel like. His song, “Digging Ditches”, opens on a desert road, with strength fading and a question that probably sounds a lot like yours: “How much longer will this last?” The message of the song grew out of 2 Kings 3:16, and it also marks his first professionally edited and mastered release, a ditch of its own, dug in faith. Picture the following scene. Three armies are stranded in the wilderness with nothing to drink. Then God sends Elisha with a strange order: dig trenches in the dry valley. The promise that follows sounds impossible: “You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink” (2 Kings 3:17). Digging in a drought will seem foolish to some. Who on earth shovels dirt for rain that hasn’t shown up? Only the people who trust the One who promised it. We’ve seen similar promises happen before (e.g., Noah), and in 2 Kings 3 we see it happenin...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...
