I delight in simple answers to a prayer.

T Prayer is truly the souls sincerest desire. Tonight my heart swelled with every emotion in the book and the only thing I could think was...you need to pray. I couldn't find the words to express what I was thinking or feeling so I started just focusing on the hymns the organist was playing. My mind was able to settle down as it focused on the beginning notes of a hymn. Would I know this one? How many notes would it take me to guess it? Did I know the words? What about if he decided to play an additional verse? While I knew I should be praying, my mind was finally able to focus and calm by tuning intently into the music.

   And...I was able to recognize answers to my unspoken prayers as I listened and mentally sang along. This hymn, although never played by the organist, came to my mind. The bolded lines were the things that struck me the most.


 I I am so grateful that the Lord knows the thoughts and intents of my heart. I'm so grateful he can calm my troubled heart, bind my broken heart, and let not sorrow overwhelm. He will curb the winds and calm the billows and in him, I will find everlasting peace.
