Music for the soul

So I was listening to the beautiful music of Hilary Weeks today as I was washing the dishes and as they are all great songs with wonderful things to say, there were a couple that especially stood out to me. I will share just one. She has a song called, "Be Still." It really is wonderful. In the song, she sings of troubles and of hard times. It's a prayer to Heavenly Father, letting him know she still has faith and believes, then she pleads for him to answer her prayer and help her. Then comes my favorite part, God's response:

I know you're weary
I know you've had all you can bear
And now you ask of me on bended knee
I promise I'll be there

I've watched you struggle
Yet I can see how much you've grown
Child, could you feel my power in
your darkest hour?
You were not alone

Be still and know that I am God
I'm by your side
Whom shall you fear
I'll give you strength my child
I am here
Be still and know that I am God
And there's no prayer
That I don't hear
Lift up your head
My child
I am here

I really like this part of the song. We so often plead with our father to help and strengthen us, to let us feel him by our side. I think that sometimes, at least I do at times, forget that he is ALWAYS there. He is always with me through my struggles and my personal trials. His power truly is there with me in my darkest hour. He is all powerful and will overcome all evil. What a comfort it is to know that he is on our side. He truly hears all our prayers and knows what we are going through. I am grateful to know that I have such a Heavenly Father who loves me and is always here for me, to help me, strengthen me and guide me. It is a good thing to know that he is there for all of his children. He has more love for us than we can understand. Lets not ever forget that he is here for us at all times. He hears our prayers, he is watching over us and as long as we let him, he will guide and strengthen us through all our dark hours.

I also couldn't help think about what a great job Hilary Weeks has! She is constantly singing praise to her Lord! Not only does her music please people all around, but I'm sure it pleases Heavenly Father as well. Her music is one that personally just puts me in a great mood. It's uplifting, testimony strengthening and comforting. I definitely recommend to all.
