Prince of Peace - Lydia Dawson

It hasn’t been long into the new year but, for me (and I’m sure for many of you too), there is still a lot going on. There is a lot to balance, a lot to process, and a lot that could consume our minds. Thankfully, our story doesn’t just finish with our circumstance… we have Jesus, the Prince of Peace, Wonderful Counsellor and our Lord who invites us to lay our burdens at His feet.

Matthew 11: 28-30 (NIV) says:

“28 Come to me,all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

I pray that, as we continue to navigate life, Holy Spirit shows us the reality of this Scripture in our every day.

There is a song I want to share with you. It’s formatted as God singing over us. I hope it provides something for you, as it has done for me - particularly in times of anxiousness and uncertainty. I have attached the link here.

For those of you who can’t access it now, here is the first verse…

“I am the Lord your God, I go before you now, I stand beside you, I'm all around you, Though you feel I'm far away, I'm closer than your breath, I am with you, Wherever you go. And I am the Lord, your peace, No evil will conquer you, Steady now your heart and mind, Come into my rest, Oh, let your faith arise, Lift up your weary head, I am with you, Wherever you go”
