I\u2019m not sure how this song has gone under the radar of my blog. It\u2019s one of my favorite worship songs and today it seems more than appropriate to share.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Life seems to bring uncertainty into our lives. This uncertainty picks at us and if we allow it, consumes us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, God has asked us to share our uncertainty with Him. He tells us over and over throughout Scripture to give Him all that causes anxiety within us. Take a look at these passages.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cCast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.\u201d<\/i> (Psalm 55:22 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cDo not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.\u201d<\/i> (Philippians 4:6 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cCast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.\u201d<\/i> (1 Peter 5:7 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And the message of \u201cStill\u201d is when we face the storms of this life, we are to offer it to God and wait. Wait for Him to work out the situation and work within us to be closer to Him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s protection and security will help in this world of uncertainty. We simply need to be willing to give all of our anxiety to Him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So today, here are the lyrics to \u201cStill.\u201d I pray that they will touch you as they do me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hide me now<br \/>\nUnder your wings<br \/>\nCover me<br \/>\nWithin your mighty hands<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When the ocean rise and thunders roar<br \/>\nI will soar with you above the storm<br \/>\nFather you are King over the flood<br \/>\nI will be still and know you are God<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Find rest my soul<br \/>\nIn Christ alone<br \/>\nKnow His power<br \/>\nIn quietness and trust<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When the ocean rise and thunders roar<br \/>\nI will soar with you above the storm<br \/>\nFather you are King over the flood<br \/>\nI will be still and know you are God<a title=\"\" href=\"#_edn1\">[i]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to listen to this song, you can do so by clicking <a title=\"&quot;Still&quot;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZoUtJw3o9ao\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I pray that the uncertainty of your day will be less disconcerting as you make the decision to share your life with God.
