Savior of My Soul~A Prayer Song


Original Illustration by Suzanne Davis Harden © All Rights Reserved.

Savior of My Soul

O, I will trust the living God,
The Savior of my soul-
I may not understand His ways
But He is in control.

My path may be obscure
And in the darkness lie,
But I will hope in Jesus
Who holds me in His eye.

He will not forget me
For I have been engraved
Upon His holy hands;
For Him my soul is saved.

For Him I am redeemed,
For Him I am reserved;
For Him I am a trophy
Of His grace to be preserved.

And though I sit in darkness
With trees that will not bud,
I have a promise from the Lord
That spring will surely come.

Though winter struts along
Like it will never end;
It’s just a giant’s shadow~
The spring He soon will send.

God’s promises are sure
Though I must walk by faith;
Such wonder in believing;
Such hope it generates!

Oh I will trust the living God,
The Savior of my soul;
O Lord, you know the paths I take,
For You are in control.

Yes, You are in control;
You know what’s best for me;
You’ve set apart unto Your heart
Those who will but believe.

And you will keep your promises
To those who trust in You
Though they may not understand
The mysteries of Truth.

Though I sit in darkness
On a path I had not planned
I will trust I am engraved
Upon Your holy hand.

And You will keep Your promises,
For You are in control,
O You will not forget me,
O Savior of my soul.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance that You are always in control of all things. Thy word says in Psalm 103:19, "The Lord has prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom rules over all," and in Hebrews 1:3 that You "uphold all things by the word of Your power."

Romans 8:8 assures me that every detail of my life is being orchestrated by You into something grand and beautiful and for my ultimate good because You care very much about each one of us.
Psalm 138:8 promises that You will "fulfill Your plans for my life." So I don't need to worry about whether or not I am going to accomplish Your will for me. You will get me on the path I need to be on. And all I need to do is Trust You.

Lord, though it is so difficult sometimes, please help each of us to trust You when we cannot see past the bend in the road, when we cannot fathom Your purposes for us in the path we are on. Help us to trust You when nothing makes sense. Help us to keep our eyes on You anyway; to know that You are in control and that You cherish each of us beyond what we could ever imagine or believe.

May the sense of Your abiding presence sustain every person praying this prayer. May they feel You with them as they never have before. May You renew their faith, fill them with new hope, and give them joy.

Thank You, dear Lord, I love You, In Jesus' name. Amen.

To Everything A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11

"To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven."

"(God) has made everything beautiful in its time.

Also He has put eternity in their hearts,

except that no one can find out the work

that God does from beginning to end." (Verse 11)

TO EVERYTHING A SEASON

To everything a season

To everything a time

A time to keep, a time to lose,

You're in control, oh Christ.

A time for every season

A time for life, for death,

God gives a time for everything

Each moment is His gift.

Our life on earth is precious

A gift from God above

A gift of worship to Him,

A gift of grace and love.

To everything a season

In God's perfect plan

For the life He gave to us,

We're all in Jesus' hand.

He wove all our beginnings,

He knows just how we'll end,

Nothing can escape His eyes,

Our souls from Him are lent.

To everything a season,

To everything a time,

And over all our Lord above,

Creator Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of our lives. Thank You that You are in control of all things and know what is good for us at all times, in every season of our lives. Thank You for the promise in Thy word that all things, no matter how they might appear at the moment, are working together for the good of those who love You.

Thank You for Thy love, so deep, so high, and so wide that no one can ever fathom it or come to the end of it. This love You have for each one of us is so great that, Lord Jesus, You said it was worth suffering the cruelest agony on the cross that we might become Your own.

Thank You for these precious gifts from Thy heart to us. We love You, Father God! We love You, precious Lord Jesus! In Thy name we pray, Amen.

No matter what the storm,

Jesus knows the way you take,

He's been that way before.

Lover of your soul,

God's Strength

God's Strength

(Inspired by Isaiah 40:28-31

God strengthens the weak and weary,

Gives hope to those with faith,

And those who trust in Him will run,

They'll walk and will not faint.

Those who trust in God will soar

On wings as eagles fly;

Jesus will renew their strength

And lift their spirits high.

Even youths get tired

And those who seem so strong

Will one day stumble in their strength,

They'll stumble, slip, and fall.

Yet those who trust in Jesus

Will regain their strength;

Though they may slip and stumble

They'll walk again by faith.

Jesus will renew their souls;

He'll wash away their sins.

He'll never disappoint the ones

Who put their hope in Him.

His mercy reaches higher

Than a universe of stars,

Those who wait upon the Lord

Will meet Him in their hearts.

Oh have you never known?

Oh have you never heard?

The Everlasting God, The Lord,

The Creator of all the earth

Never faints or stumbles,

He's ever strong and wise;

His understanding infinite,

And He never, ever lies.

Our God is ever faithful,

To every promise true,

To all who trust in Jesus

Their souls He will renew.

God strengthens the weak and weary,

Gives hope to those with faith,

He'll never disappoint the soul

Who trusts in Him and waits.

Dear Heavenly Father, may You help us to humbly trust in Your unlimited strength and not in our own limited resources to meet every challenge we face. Your word says, "It's not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says The Lord of Hosts..." Thank You for Thy grace to patiently wait on You in faith. We love You, Lord.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Persevering Faith

In (Christ) there was life, and that life was a light for the people of the world.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not defeated it.

~John 1:4-5 (ERV)

Never Give Up ( A Prayer Song of Perseverance)

No matter how dark the night,

No matter how fierce the storm,

Jesus help us trust in You,

And not give up, oh Lord.

No matter how high the waves

Come rising around our soul,

Jesus help us cling to You,

Your promise help us hold.

No matter how strong the winds

No matter how hot the flames,

Jesus help us trust in You,

And cling to You in faith.

No matter how strong the night,

It cannot overcome,

The light of Christ within us,

So may we not give up.

The darkness cannot overtake

The light of Jesus Christ,

Greater is He who is within us

Than our enemies of the night.

Lord Jesus, may we never give up,

Lord, never give up on You;

Lord, help us cling to You in faith

And hold on to Your truth.

Heavenly Father, thank You that Your Holy Spirit lives inside each one of Your children and that You are always with us every moment, every day of our lives. We may not be able to see You any more than we can see the air, but Your presence abides with us no matter what we are facing. You are with us in all our joys as well as all of our sorrows. Thy word says that You are very close to those whose hearts are breaking.

In art the brightest light is revealed by placing it next to something very dark. Perhaps that is also true spiritually. When we go through trials we are able to draw closer to You unless we allow the sorrows to make us bitter and angry.

Lord, I pray for every person reading this message and prayer; may You draw them closer to Thy heart through whatever path they are traveling in their life at this time.

May they not give up on any dream You have given them: ministry, work, whatever You whispered in their deepest hearts. Help them hold on and remember that "no word from God shall ever fail." Thank You Lord. I love You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

MEASURELESS LOVE OF GOD

Oswald Chambers taught that "God loves me and that

I shall never think of anything He will forget."

The Measureless Love of God

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."~John 14:27

Jesus Christ taught that God is our loving Heavenly Father.

He said that God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that all who would believe in His death on the cross for their sins and subsequent resurrection, would never die, but could enjoy fellowship with God now on earth and also forever in eternal paradise. (See John 3:16)

Jesus taught that those who believe in Him as their Savior would be forgiven all their sins, reborn from above and adopted into God's family as His own precious children.

He said that His children could ask His Heavenly Father for anything in His name and it would be done for them!

"Jesus said,"If you live in Me and what I say lives in you, then ask for anything you want, and it will be yours. I will do anything you ask the Father in My name so that the Father will be given glory because of the Son." ~John 14:13-14

...If you ask Me to do something, I will do it." ~John 15:7

Jesus said that our Father knows our needs even before we ask Him!

He taught that God is such a God of love that He even cares when a common sparrow falls to the ground and dies.

God measures the dust of the earth, the Bible tells us, and He cherishes each of us so much that He counts the very hairs on our head.

St. Paul wrote, "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" ~Romans 8:31-32

Jesus said we must ask God for what we need even though He already knows our needs.

In Luke 18:1, He tells His disciples, "People ought to always pray and to never give up."

Sometimes God may seem so silent as if He is not listening to our prayers. But He hears them all. The Psalmist envisioned our compassionate Creator

collecting our tears and putting them into a special bottle marked with our name.

Psalm 56:8 "You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle;

Are they not in Your book?"

God will answer our prayers in His own way and time.

The prophet Habakkuk wrote, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end fulfillment; it will not deceive or disappoint.

Though it tarry, wait earnestly for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day."~ Habakkuk 2:3-4

Our God asks us to walk with Him day by day with eyes of faith, trusting Him and believing His word even though we cannot see or feel Him.

The author of the book of Hebrews wrote, "Faith is what makes real the things we hope for. It is proof of what we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1

Hebrews 1:6 "Without faith no one can please God. Whoever comes to God must believe that He is real and that He rewards those who sincerely try to find Him."

"Look at the proud; his soul is not straight or right within him,

but the rigidly just and the uncompromisingly righteous man shall live

by his faith and in his faithfulness."~Habakkuk 2:3-4

Our God is a merciful, compassionate Father. If He allows us to be thrown

into the fiery furnace of affliction to refine our faith, He will jump into that fire

alongside of us just as He did for the Hebrew captives in Babylon so long ago.

(See Daniel 3:24-25)

When my children were little, God gave me a beautiful poem to comfort and encourage me. I recently made it into a prayer song, now available on my album, "God's Rainbow Promise." May this prayer song comfort and encourage you wherever you are on your journey.

Yahweh's Promise

I love you, My child

And I’ll never forsake you,

You’re one of My own.

I will always be with you;

Your hand will I hold,

For in your heart My word is sown.

Don’t be afraid of the darkening night;

The times, they are evil

And you will have to fight.

But the good and upright and the just will prevail;

With My word as your sword you can never fail.

Walk on in faith and don’t ever look back

To the road you have already trodden.

The way is before you and the past is gone—

Walk on in faith though the way seems long;

Walk on in faith though the way is long.

I love you, My child, and My peace is yours.

I will never forsake you—not one of My own!

Though all around you the storms are severe,

Remember in faith I am always near,

To uphold and support you, no matter where,

In failure, in victory, in doubt, in despair;

In laughter, in weeping, in danger, in fear...

My promise forever: I am always here...

I am always here, I am always here,

My promise forever, I am always here.

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much that You sent Your only Son to suffer and die for our sins so that we might be forgiven and become Your very own children through Christ's atoning sacrifice. Give us Thy grace to comprehend Your measureless love for us and to never take Your beautiful Gift, the Gift of Your precious Son Jesus Christ for granted. Thank You, Lord. I love You.

In Jesus Name. Amen.
