Prayer was never meant to be an empty ritual or another obligation on your spiritual checklist.In "How to Pray Like Jesus," Pastor Parker Green teaches from Matthew 6 and the Lord's Prayer, showing how worship restores perspective, the secret place produces holiness, and prayer brings the kingdom of heaven into everyday life.If this message strengthens your prayer life, share it with someone who wants to grow closer to God.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 - A Baptism and Healing in Colorado Springs3:51 - Learning How To Pray4:50 - The Story Behind "It Is Well"10:48 - Worship Always Works11:56 - Meet God in the Secret Place13:52 - You Are Not Too Important To Pray15:34 - Honesty in Prayer16:30 - Prayer as a Strategy for Holiness17:16 - Relationship Requires Intentional Time18:25 - Your Father Already Knows What You Need19:41 - The Prayer Jesus Gave Us21:48 - Your Kingdom or God's Kingdom?24:08 - Are Your Prayers Too Small?25:21 - Church Is an Equipping Station26:34 - The Kingdom of Heaven Is Here30:33 - Daily Bread and Corporate Prayer32:33 - No Great Thing Happens Without Prayer34:10 - What the Kingdom of Heaven Is Like35:50 - You Are a Conduit of Heaven36:39 - Prayer Is a Privilege38:44 - You Learn To Pray by Praying40:31 - Jesus Thanked God Before the Miracle42:38 - A Daily Framework for Prayer44:17 - An Invitation To Follow Jesus45:35 - Forgiveness Before CommunionPlan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe: / saltchurches Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker / / parkerrichardgreen Instagram Jessi / / jessi.green Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch #revival #parkergreen #jessigreen
Friend, musician, and church music enthusiast Connor Duncanson returns to the show to discuss the ongoing releases of Hymns for Home and Church, the new global hymnbook for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Together, we share our personal top five selections and examine the theological depth, emotional resonance, and musical craftsmanship behind both new Latter-day Saint compositions and cherished cross-denominational classics. We also discuss how hymns enrich personal and congregational worship, the remarkable history behind timeless songs of praise and suffering, and how music serves as a prayer of the heart that anchors disciples of Jesus Christ through life's deepest trials.Some highlights from this episode include:Expectations vs. Reality in the New Hymnbook: Connor and Ben reflect on the creative breadth of Hymns for Home and Church, discussing the balance between fresh member-written compositions and historic Christian hymns.Easter Anthems and Triumphant Praise: Unpacking the regal majesty of "Let Easter Anthems Ring" (set to Diademata) and Charles Wesley's soaring Ascension hymn "Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise."Faith in the Midst of Suffering: The poignant historical background behind Horatio Spafford's "It Is Well with My Soul" and Civilla D. Martin's "His Eye Is on the Sparrow," demonstrating how genuine faith is forged within adversity rather than in the absence of it.Modern Latter-day Saint Sacrament Hymns: Analysing the reverent doctrinal focus of Annette Dickman's "Bread of Life, Living Water" and its symbolic invitation to lay our whole souls upon the altar.The Transcendent Power of Traditional Hymns: Exploring Isaac Watts' profound poetry in "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross" and "My Shepherd Will Supply My Need," alongside the enduring soul-stirring message of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."Wishlist Hymns for Future Batches: A lively discussion on traditional Anglican and Christian staples we hope to see in upcoming digital releases, including "Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven" and "Be Thou My Vision."Resources & Links Mentioned in This Episode:Explore the New Hymnbook (Hymns for Home and Church):Official Collection & Sheet Music: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/music/collections/hymns-for-home-and-church?lang=engStudy in the Gospel Library: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/music/hymns-for-home-and-church?lang=engAbout the Global Sacred Music Initiative: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/initiative/new-hymns?lang=engFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.
Have you ever looked back on your life and thought, "If God hadn't been right there…"? In this message, Pastor Jimmy unpacks Psalm 71 — David's testimony that God had been supporting him since before he could walk, before he could speak, before he could even choose God for himself.Using the powerful story of Horatio Spafford, who wrote "It Is Well with My Soul" after losing his four daughters at sea, Pastor Jimmy reveals a truth many miss: the greatest miracle isn't always the one that changes your circumstances — sometimes it's the person God creates when the circumstances don't change.In this episode:Why God's support for your life began before you were even aware of itThe difference between miracles God does around you and miracles God does in youWhy you shouldn't confuse the miracle with the MakerHow a "sustained" life — still standing, still trusting — is just as miraculous as the spectacularWhy gratitude and trust become your natural reflex when you see your story correctlyHow to reframe your success as a testimony instead of a trophyKey Scripture: "You've made me into a miracle; no wonder I trust you and praise you forever!" — Psalm 71:6-7 (TPT)Your life is not random. Your resilience is not natural. You are His miracle.
Don't Stop When Tears Start Don't stop when tears start, because tears, sorrow, disappointments, and difficulties are part of the Christian life and part of the Christian journey. A lot of people start into this journey thinking that the presence of God means the absence of trouble, and that isn't true. Jesus Christ himself said, In this world you will have tribulation. You'll have difficulty, there will be trouble, but be of good cheer, for I have overcome this world. In other words, I have overcome this world's power to overcome you. When you opened your heart to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit of God took up residence inside your physical body, and the Christ who won that victory on the cross — defeated the power of hell and darkness — lives inside of you now and will carry you to the finish line in this journey. You will be opposed, there will be difficulties along the way. For those who are in the middle of the journey, I remember those days so clearly in my life. I told my wife Teresa one time, I said, "I feel like if I wasn't sighing, I wouldn't be breathing." There was a season — a long season — where it was difficult. There are individual moments, but then there's a long season where long-suffering has got to come into your life, and God gives you the power. The Joy of First Salvation — Psalm 126:1–3 Psalm 126, we're going to start there, verses 1 to 3: When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them." The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad. I remember those first days of salvation. I remember when I sat in church the first time and the person who led me to Christ shared the verse of Scripture that if anyone be in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things are passed away, and behold, all things have become new. I remember sitting and wondering, is that reality, or is that just a pipe dream? Can it actually happen? God, can you come and give me a future that I could never find in my own strength? No matter how much I would try, it would always escape me because I wasn't capable of fulfilling it. And then one day you begin to realize that you've been forgiven your sin, and the Holy Spirit has come and indwelt your human body. It's like a dream. Life begins to change line upon line, precept upon precept. From place to place, God begins to work a work that only the Holy Spirit can do, and you become aware of it. I remember the first time I ever went to a Christian police officer's conference in Speculator, upstate New York. For the first time ever in my life, I saw grown men weep before God for joy — Texas Rangers, people from all over the country, tough guys too, a lot of them, tenderized by the presence of God. I cried for three days. I couldn't stop crying. I don't know how many boxes of tissue I went through. I actually felt foolish at one point because I simply couldn't stop crying — it was like a dream. I know many of you remember those days, especially if you're in the middle of your journey now. Your mouth is filled with laughter. Your tongue is filled with singing. When I first started going to church, I'd open a hymn book — I wasn't raised on the hymns, so they were brand new to me. "It Is Well with My Soul." "Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine." I would stand there and the tears would come down my face. I remember one time my wife said to me, "You have to stop laughing when the preacher is preaching. He's going to think that you're mocking him." I said, "I'm not. I can't stop." I was just so filled with joy that I had this new life that God had promised. I had a hope. I had a future. I had now laid hold of the possibility of becoming the person that God intended my life to be. It would bubble out of me like a river. And then people among the nations — as Psalm 126 says — began to say, "The Lord has done great things for them." People around you started to say, "Wow, you are changing." Now, some things change quickly, don't they? Some things, the very day you come to Christ — maybe your vocabulary changes. You stop using the words you used to use, or if one slips, you're quick to apologize for it. And then there are certain things that change, and other things don't change quite as fast. I speak from experience. There were some things I was able to put away almost day one, and other things that took forever. Have you ever watched one of those old Western movies on television? They get in a gunfight in a saloon, and one guy gets shot and falls over the table. Then he climbs the stairway, falls over the balcony, stumbles behind the bar, gets up, falls over the bar, stumbles out through the swinging doors, and falls over the hitching post — and you're watching the movie saying, "Is this guy ever going to die?" Well, I don't know about you, but some things in my life went that way. They were shot, in a sense, by the blood of Jesus Christ. They lost their power, but they took time. Don't get discouraged when things in your life take time. They are dead. They might be still standing like the fig tree when Jesus and the disciples went back into Jerusalem, but they've lost their power to dictate your future. Praise be to God. A Season of Sorrow — Bring Back Our Captivity Now the psalmist goes on and he says, Bring back our captivity, O Lord, as streams in the south. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy, and he who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. So this psalm starts out with such victory, and then it has a transitional point where the psalmist is saying, "God, do it again for me. Do it again for us. Bring back that joy that I once knew of my captivity being released. God, I'm in a season of sorrow now. I'm in a season where tears are taking over for what used to be joy. Would you help us in this?" To understand this, I want to go back to the actual journey that most agree this psalm speaks about. It began with the people of Israel being taken into captivity into a land called Babylon. They were taken there because they played fast and loose with the things of God. We go into captivity when we don't acknowledge the presence of God or the reason for which we were created — when we choose, as Adam and Eve once did, to follow our own reasoning and go our own way. Because of it, they lost the protection of God and were taken captive. For 70 years they were in captivity — more than a generation. Many, if not most, of these people were actually born in captivity. They knew the story of what God had done in the past, but they themselves had been the victims of captivity, and their lives were short of what they should have been. The Decree of Cyrus — A Picture of the Cross Now, the interesting thing is that in the book of Ezra, it gives us the history. In Ezra 1:1 it says, In the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia. This is where it really gets interesting, because about 150 years before Cyrus became king, it was prophesied that a king would be born whose name would be Cyrus. He is actually called "my servant" in the Word of God, and he would issue a decree letting the people go home to rebuild. It's phenomenal. God knows everything. There's nothing that happens that he doesn't know. Everything is in his control. He knows where you are today. He knows where you'll be tomorrow. As a matter of fact, he's already in your tomorrow before you even get there. He foretold through Jeremiah that his own people would go into captivity for 70 years. But through Isaiah, he declared that a king called Cyrus would be born who would issue a decree and let the people go back home to rebuild again. That's the context, really, of Psalm 126. Can you imagine being there? All you've ever kno...
What if the faithfulness Jesus asks of you isn't measured by what you'd die for, but by what you're willing to lose today?This message walks through Jesus' letter to the church in Smyrna from Revelation 2—a group of believers facing real persecution, real poverty, and real fear. Unlike most of the seven churches, Jesus doesn't rebuke them. He acknowledges their pain, names their suffering, and then challenges them to stay faithful anyway. The core question isn't whether you'll face hardship. It's whether you'll trust that the end of the story is already written—and that the end is victory.Whether you're in a season of grief, walking through something that feels impossible to survive, or just quietly wondering if your faith is real enough to hold up under pressure, this message is for you. Jesus wrote a letter to people in pain, and it still speaks.In this message you'll discover:Why having faith is free but being faithful always costs somethingHow knowing "the End" gives you the strength to endure "the middle" of your storyWhat Jesus' letter to Smyrna reveals about suffering, persecution, and His presence in your painThe true story behind the hymn "It Is Well" and what it looks like to trust God when everything falls apartKey Scriptures: Revelation 2:8-11, Revelation 21:1-5
Your soul is vital, and sometimes, it needs to be reset back to factory settings. Psalm 23 says a good Shepherd has to occasionally lead you to a place where your soul can be restored, a place of green pastures, still waters, and lying down. Why does a soul need restoring? Because you may have to walk through seasons of grief, have people who hurt you or just generally get beat up by the trials of life. Proverbs 4:23 — another famous verse — tells us to guard our hearts and says that it determines the course of your life. Biblically, your heart is your soul, which encompasses your mind, will, and emotions. If it is so important, why does the church only talk about saving souls rather than guarding or restoring souls? This week, we’re starting a new series about mental health called It Is Well With My Soul.

We close the It Is Well series by redefining God's presence as personal friendship that holds our joy steady even when life stays hard. We look at Abraham, Moses, and Jesus' words in John 15 to show how closeness with God reshapes prayer, suffering, calling, and everyday choices. • Defining God's presence as relational closeness, not a mystical idea • Naming the cost of distance with God, from empty worship to crisis-driven prayer and accusation • Tracing the Bible's throughline of God wanting to dwell with us • Learning trust, surrender, and radical obedience through Abraham's friendship with God • Seeing Moses refuse the promised land without God's presence • Moving from fearful obedience to sharing God's heart through intercession • Hearing Jesus call us friends, not servants, and reveal the Father's intentions • Finding help in Romans 8 when we do not know how to pray, the Spirit interceding in weakness • Connecting calling to places of pain where prayer partners with God's work • Choosing God as the reward, asking for His glory and receiving joy over heaviness
We tell a true story of feeling stranded and anxious in a strange city, then watch God provide in a way that points straight to kingdom culture and belonging. We connect “It Is Well” faith to shalom, covenant, and Jesus' authority over chaos so perseverance does not cost us our peace. • Shifting the goal from preparing to suffer to persevering while still pursuing peace • The Aaronic blessing as a covenant framework for security, favor, grace, presence and peace • Shalom defined as wholeness and right standing with God, including the insight that shalom can read as “it is well” • Why peace is not the absence of chaos but security through it, from Noah to Job to Jonah • Sea and dragon imagery as a biblical picture of chaos and the enemy's strategy • Jesus calming the storm and walking on water as authority over chaos and revelation of divine identity • Revelation's ending as the final defeat of chaos, where the sea is no more • Prayer, communion, and the new covenant as the ground of our peace in Christ

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
Send us a textThere are some songs that stay with us—not because they were tied to a moment, but because they put words to a posture of faith we keep coming back to. Even If by MercyMe is one of those songs for me. At its core, it gives voice to a tension we all know well: trusting that God is able… while also learning to remain faithful when He doesn't act in the way we hope He will.Key Points“Even If” by MercyMe gives voice to a deeply biblical kind of faith—a faith that remains even when God doesn't intervene the way we hope He will.The song is rooted in Daniel 3, where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego declare that God can save them…but even if He doesn't, they will not bow.The modern testimony behind the hymn “It Is Well with My Soul” echoes the same posture—sorrow acknowledged, trust unshaken.This phrase even if names something many believers live daily: trusting God when the outcome is uncertain, painful, or opposite of what we prayed for.The enemy still whispers the same lie King Nebuchadnezzar did: “What god could save you now?” Recognizing that lie and responding with truth shapes our spiritual resilience.Scriptures ReferencedDaniel 1–3 – Context of the exile, rise of Daniel and his friends, and the furnace accountDaniel 3:16–18 – “The God we serve is able…but even if…”Daniel 2:49 – Their roles in BabylonDaniel 1:17–20 – God-given wisdom and favorSupporting historical reference from the story behind “It Is Well with My Soul”BITEs (Bible Interaction Tool Exercises)Consult a summary or introduction before diving into a book you're less familiar with (e.g., study Bible intros, Blue Letter Bible, BibleProject).Read in context – Start in Daniel 1 and read through Daniel 3 to see the full arc of faithfulness.Consider historical context – Culture, timeline, exile setting, and long-term leadership roles.Follow cross-references – Explore the broader biblical theme of steadfast trust.Ask reflection questions – “Where is my even if?

In today's message, “Seasons Change, Be Content,” Pastor Leonard D. Cochran teaches God's people to be content in every season. Don't throw a pity party, but know that it is well with you. Whatever you are going through is temporary, it will not last forever. Don't treat temporary trials as if they are permanent. God is your very present help in times of trouble. IT IS WELL!

In a world filled with noise, interruptions, and uncertainty, peace can feel out of reach. But in this Advent message, Pastor Corey walks through John 14:27, Philippians 4:6–9, and Isaiah 26 to show that the peace Jesus offers is not circumstantial or fragile—it's supernatural, steady, and unshakable.From anxious disciples caught in a storm to God's people facing the threat of Assyria, Scripture reveals that peace isn't the absence of conflict—it's the presence of trust. While worry rises when outcomes are uncertain, Jesus gives a peace that persists even when the future feels unclear.Through powerful biblical truth and moving stories like Horatio Spafford's hymn “It Is Well with My Soul,” this message reminds us that peace isn't found in a place or a plan—it's found in a Person. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, steadies us in the present and secures us for the future.If your mind feels consumed by worry, anxiety, or chaos, this message will help you see how God's peace can guard your heart and mind—even when circumstances don't change.✔ Why peace is the antidote to chaos✔ Why the opposite of peace isn't war—but worry✔ How Jesus gives peace when outcomes are uncertain✔ Why peace increases as we know the Peace-Giver✔ How supernatural peace can exist even in deep sorrowShare this message with someone who needs to be reminded that no matter what they're facing, God's peace is still available—and it is well with their soul.
On a road trip to Montana one summer, we stopped at a rest area to stretch our legs. Inside one of the buildings was a young man who was singing a familiar praise song as he mopped the floor. Then he started singing the hymn, “It Is Well with My Soul.” I couldn’t resist. When he called out the phrase, “It is well,” I repeated it. When he sang, “with my soul,” I echoed the words. Together, we sang the last line: “It is well, it is well . . . with my soul!” He grinned, gave me a fist bump, and said, “Praise God.” When I got back to the car where my husband was waiting, he asked, “What’s with the big smile?” Think of the things for which we can praise God, such as His goodness, righteousness, compassion, promises, provision, and protection. And Psalm 145 is one of many psalms that urges us to continually praise Him. David wrote, “Every day I will praise you” (v. 2). Many people praise God by playing an instrument; others by reading or reciting Scripture; or by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Colossians 3:16). Some express their praise through liturgical dance. But all genuine praise springs from hearts that are full of gratitude. Our spirits were designed to praise God. It’s because of His sacrificial love for us that we can say with confidence, “It is well with my soul!”
Send us a textThe room wasn't full, but the sound was. As our small congregation sang “It Is Well with My Soul,” the harmonies rose like a river and something sacred brushed the air. That moment sparked a deep dive into the real story behind the hymn, the raw grief that birthed it, and the resilient hope it still offers to anyone standing in the waves.We walk through Horatio Spafford's cascading losses—the Great Chicago Fire, the death of his son, the shipwreck that claimed his four daughters—and how, on a grief-marked voyage, he penned words that neither deny sorrow nor bow to it. From “when sorrows like sea billows roll” to the promise that faith will become sight, we explore why this hymn endures across traditions: it names reality and then anchors the heart in God's unchanging presence. Along the way, we unpack the difference between worldly peace (the storm must stop) and God's peace (I am held in the storm), and we point to Revelation's vision where every tear is wiped away.You'll hear practices for making the hymn your own: naming your pain without comparison, anchoring in scripture and prayer when emotions surge, and rehearsing hope until the refrain takes root. We also share a free journaling guide with prompts to help you reflect, grieve, and lean into God's nearness.

A new MP3 sermon from FairHavens Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: It Is Well Subtitle: Strength For Today Speaker: Bob Kirkland Broadcaster: FairHavens Baptist Church Event: Devotional Date: 9/22/2025 Length: 4 min.
What do you do when God does not answer your prayers the way you hoped, or when He does not explain Himself at all? From Horatio Spafford's heartbreaking loss that gave birth to the hymn It Is Well to Jesus' difficult teaching in John 6, Pastor Joby Martin shows us that worship is not a warm-up or background music. Worship is war. In this message, you will see that when life presses in and the valley feels overwhelming, worship becomes the very thing that sustains us. It silences the lies of the enemy and reminds us that Jesus alone is the Bread of Life. Circumstances may never fully make sense on this side of eternity, but the gospel is enough to anchor our souls. Life is hard. God is good. Both are true at the same time. And in the tension of unanswered questions, worship is how we fight back and declare that our trust is in Him.
Daughter of Texas oilman H.L. Hunt, June's life was messy and complicated. She tells her story of living with a father who had 3 families going on concurrently. He was a dictator – what he said was law. June was delivered from an abusive, bizarre childhood when she gave her life to the Lord Jesus at age 15 through a biblically based church. Her godly mother helped her understand that her father needed the Lord. June learned she needed to forgive her father, just as her heavenly Father forgave her. She led her Dad to a saving relationship with his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ at age 86, just 10 months before he died, and sang It Is Well with My Soul at both his bedside and at her Dad's memorial service. Only the amazing grace of God could accomplish such a powerful miracle of redemption!PLEASE DO LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS!Top Takeaways:-ACCEPT UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITIES SO YOU'LL LEARN & GROW-LOOK BEYOND THE FAULT TO SEE THE NEED-KNOW THE REAL QUESTIONS-ALWAYS SEEK FIRST THE GUIDANCE OF THE LORD-DON'T LET OTHERS' VIEWS STOP YOU FROM BECOMING WHO GODINTENDEDLET ME KNOW WHAT FUTURE TOPICS YOU'D LOVE TO EXPLORE!JOIN THOUSANDS WHO GET VALERIE'S BEST INSIGHTS ON PROFESSIONALISMAND EXECUTIVE PRESENCE—FREE! www.valerieandcompany.comFollow her journey and expert insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriesokolosky/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ValerieAndCompanySubscribe to Doing it Right vlog cast: youtube.com/valerieandcompanyListen and watch Doing it Right the Stories that Make Us:https://www.valerieandcompany.com/PodcastSubscribe, rate, and write a review on Apple Podcast- https://apple.co/2SHDDmo

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I sit down with DJ and Jessica Rowland to talk about life with Huntington's disease—and what it really means to keep living when the diagnosis is grim. Jessica was diagnosed in 2018 after a season of clumsiness, psychological symptoms, and career struggles. DJ, her husband and primary caregiver, balances running a mobile truck repair business with caring for her needs, adapting their home for safety, and bringing her along when he can. Their support network of family and friends has learned to adjust plans so Jessica can be part of them. We talk about the “incremental grief” of watching someone you love slowly lose abilities, and how they've chosen to push back against fear with adventure—riding motorcycles, taking a hot-air balloon ride, and embracing experiences Jessica once avoided. Their motto says it all: “Fear does not stop death. It stops life.” DJ shares the adjustments they've made for her mobility, swallowing, and pain, and the way the HD community has become a vital source of encouragement despite the heartache of seeing friends decline. Faith plays a role, too. Past experiences with their autistic son being unwelcome at church have kept them away for a while, but they hope to join a congregation after moving to a warmer climate. DJ finds comfort in the “Footprints” poem, and I encouraged them to explore the story behind It Is Well with My Soul. We closed with my caregiver song, I Can Only Hold You Now, and a reminder that the goal isn't simply to avoid death—it's to live fully with the time we have. “A Caregiver's Companion” Release Date 8/20/2025.

In the wake of unimaginable personal loss, Haratio Spafford wrote the well known hymn: "It Is Well with My Soul.” Spafford's story, marked by grief and tragedy, invites us to explore how we can find shalom amidst life's deepest sorrows. Drawing on Scripture, including the rabbinic idea of God's Shekinah (abiding presence), we discover two enduring truths that enable us to say, “It is well with my soul.” First, God is with us, holding our hand through our pain. And second, He is making all things right. To learn more, check out…

Mack Wilberg). The Tabernacle Choir Life can be so unpredictable—joys and sorrows, beautiful blessings and distressing difficulties, can come unexpectedly. Our life's dreams and plans can change in an instant. We all know this to be true. So how can we find peace amid such turbulence? Horatio Spafford knew something about life's unexpected challenges. He was a successful attorney and real estate investor who lost a fortune in the great Chicago fire of 1871. Around the same time, his beloved four-year-old son died of scarlet fever. Thinking a vacation would do his family some good, he sent his wife and four daughters on a ship to England, planning to join them after he finished some pressing business at home. However, while crossing the Atlantic Ocean, the ship was involved in a terrible collision and sunk. More than 200 people lost their lives, including all four of Horatio Spafford's precious daughters. His wife, Anna, survived the tragedy. Upon arriving in England, she sent a telegram to her husband that began: “Saved alone. What shall I do?” Horatio immediately set sail for England. At one point during his voyage, the captain of the ship, aware of the tragedy that had struck the Spafford family, summoned Horatio to tell him that they were now passing over the spot where the shipwreck had occurred. As Horatio thought about his daughters, words of comfort and hope filled his heart and mind. He wrote them down, and they have since become a well-beloved hymn: When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll— Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to know It is well, it is well with my soul. Perhaps we cannot always say that everything is well in all aspects of our lives. There will always be storms to face, and sometimes there will be tragedies. But with faith in a loving God and with trust in His divine help, we can confidently say, “It is well, it is well with my soul.” Watch this video with subtitles at- https://youtu.be/Eg5O2y1UXw4?si=JvgZ32hBe4iqMK3J The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square 891K subscribers 5,209,607 views Aug 2, 2017 For the story behind this song: • It Is Well with My Soul - The Spoken ...

For over 50 years, For the Strength of Youth has been a guide for generations of Latter-day Saint youth. I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.

We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless. --------------------------------------------------------
Believe In miracles but trust in Jesus #RTTBROS #Nightlight Trusting Without Seeing: When Faith Meets the Unseen Path "Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way." - John 4:50 In our walk with Christ, we often find ourselves standing at the edge of uncertainty, much like a free solo climber facing El Capitan's towering face. The next handhold isn't visible, the path ahead seems shrouded in mystery, and our natural instincts scream for security. Yet, it's in these moments that our faith is refined and strengthened. Consider the nobleman in John 4 who traveled twenty miles to find Jesus. His son lay dying, and his position of power meant nothing in the face of this crisis. How often do we find ourselves in similar situations – our worldly resources exhausted, our influence powerless, and our hearts desperate for divine intervention? It's in these moments of complete helplessness that we often find our purest faith. The beauty of this story lies not in the miracle itself, but in the nobleman's response to Jesus's word. When Christ simply said, "Go thy way; thy son liveth," the nobleman didn't demand proof or insist Jesus accompany him. He simply believed and went his way. Like modern-day believers facing their own El Capitan moments, he trusted without seeing the outcome. Just as H.G. Spafford penned "It Is Well with My Soul" in the midst of unimaginable loss, we too are called to trust God's heart when we cannot trace His hand. Our circumstances may scream for immediate resolution, like children begging for ice cream unaware of the greater adventure their parents have planned. Modern life has conditioned us to expect instant gratification. We have dishwashers instead of hand-washing, instant messages instead of letters, and GPS instead of paper maps. Yet God's timing often operates on a different schedule, teaching us that trust is more valuable than immediate results. The nobleman's journey home must have been filled with moments of doubt, yet he continued walking in faith. Similarly, our journey of faith often involves walking away from our preferred solutions, trusting instead in God's unseen plan. Like a pilot trusting an unseen control tower for guidance, we must learn to trust our heavenly Father's directions. Consider the three ways God answers prayer: "go," "no," and "slow." Each answer requires a different type of trust, but all require submission to God's wisdom. When we pray, we often try to instruct God on how to answer, much like trying to grab the wheel from Jesus when He seems to be going "off-road." True faith means letting go of our preferred methods and trusting His perfect will. The Galileans wanted signs and wonders, but Jesus sought true faith. Today, we too must guard against becoming so familiar with God's work that we lose our sense of awe. Like the hedonic treadmill that dulls our appreciation for blessings, we must actively fight against taking God's faithfulness for granted. Our relationship with Christ shouldn't be based on curiosity but conviction. It's not about seeing signs and wonders, but about trusting the One who performs them. When we face our own moments of crisis, may we remember that believing in miracles is good, but trusting in Jesus is better. Just as the nobleman discovered that his son was healed at the very hour Jesus spoke, we too will find that God's timing is perfect. Whether He answers with "go," "no," or "slow," our role remains the same – to trust His heart, believe His word, and walk in faith, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.
En 1873, Horatio Spafford, un abogado exitoso, perdió a sus cuatro hijas en un trágico naufragio mientras viajaban a Europa. Poco después, mientras cruzaba el océano para reunirse con su esposa, escribió el famoso himno "It Is Well with My Soul" (Está bien con mi alma). A pesar de su dolor, Spafford encontró consuelo y esperanza en la presencia de Dios. El Adviento nos recuerda que, aunque enfrentemos tormentas en la vida, Jesús es nuestra ancla. Su nacimiento nos asegura que Dios está con nosotros en medio de cada dificultad. Su paz y Su presencia no eliminan las pruebas, pero nos sostienen y nos dan esperanza para el futuro. Hoy, cualquiera que sea tu tormenta, recuerda que Jesús está contigo. Él es tu refugio y tu esperanza. Como Spafford, confía en que Dios tiene el control, incluso cuando no entiendes el porqué. La Biblia dice en Hebreos 6:19: "La cual tenemos como segura y firme ancla del alma, y que penetra hasta dentro del velo."
On today's special edition of Family Talk, Pastor Chuck Swindoll, in a timeless sermon on the topic gratitude, reflects on Psalm 103, in which King David expresses thanks to God for pardoning his sin, redeeming his life from the pit, and crowning him with love and compassion. The lyrics of the classic hymn, "It Is Well with My Soul," reveals why we are so grateful. "My sin, not in part but the whole; Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!"
