Podcasts about o my soul

For forty years I've said that healthy caregivers make better caregivers—and this week that truth became personal in a new way. In this episode, I share an update following my recent cancer treatment and explain why caregivers must be willing to care for themselves if they hope to care well for others. Then I tell a story that could only happen in Montana. Two strangers drove up our mountain road looking for a man named "Don," leading to an unforgettable conversation with a sheriff's deputy that challenged the way I think about responsibility, self-reliance, and being a good neighbor. Along the way, we'll laugh about a small-town post office, reflect on the lessons hidden in everyday life, and revisit Andraé Crouch's timeless hymn, "Bless the Lord, O My Soul," and why it has meant so much to Gracie and me through decades of caregiving. Whether you're caring for a spouse, parent, child, or friend—or simply trying to live faithfully where God has planted you—I hope this conversation encourages you to prepare well, shoulder your responsibilities with grace, and remember that hope is never far away. Healthy caregivers make better caregivers. And healthy caregivers help make stronger families.  There's more at Caregiver.substack.com

Before we close our eyes tonight, let's pause together, open God's Word and allow our souls to become quiet in the presence of God There are evenings when our bodies are tired, yet our thoughts continue to race. We remember conversations, revisit unfinished tasks and wonder about tomorrow. Yet the deepest rest we need is not found simply by sleeping. It is found by placing our hope in the Lord, whose love remains constant and whose presence gently quiets every anxious thought. Psalm 62:5 (NIV) “Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.” What a beautiful invitation to receive tonight. God welcomes us to bring our whole selves into His presence—the questions we still carry, the gratitude we have discovered and the hopes we hold for tomorrow. As our hearts become settled in Him, we discover a peace that reaches beneath our circumstances and steadies us from within. Tomorrow will arrive in its own time, but tonight our souls may rest safely in the faithful love of God. So this evening, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is our unfailing hope, and in Him our hearts find lasting rest. Father, thank You for Your constant love throughout this day. Thank You for every quiet reminder of Your goodness and for the peace You freely give to those who trust in You.

by Elder Michael Hataway (preached on June 28, 2026) We were blessed recently at Zion to have Elder Michael Hataway, pastor of Bay Springs Primitive Baptist Church in Georgia, visit us and share a message from the word of God.

Adelaide • Queenstown • Singapore • Austin • Montevideo REST • CONFIDENCE • QUIET STRENGTH Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. As the day begins to draw towards its close, many of us realise just how much we have been carrying. Some burdens have names; others are known only to God. The conversations, responsibilities and quiet worries of today may still be resting heavily upon your heart. Before this evening moves any further, let's gently place every concern into the loving hands of our Heavenly Father and allow our souls to become still in His presence.  Psalm 62:5–6 (NIV) “Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” These words invite us to stop striving and start trusting. Hope is not something we have to manufacture through determination or positive thinking. Hope grows as we quietly rest in the God who never changes. Tonight, let's remind ourselves once again that fear will not win, because our foundation is Jesus Christ, our Rock, our Saviour and our unchanging hope through every season of life. Father, thank You for staying with us throughout this day. Thank You for every unseen mercy, every quiet answer to prayer and every moment Your faithful hand has held us securely. Lord Jesus, receive every burden we have carried today.

Across the world, from Adelaide to Queenstown, from Singapore to Austin and Montevideo, may every listener discover that true rest is found in God alone and that His faithful presence never leaves His children.

Today, Will Carlisle is joined by Thomas Nelson as we look together at Psalm 62. Join us today on Our Daily Rhythm!

David's desire was to live a holy and exemplary life, especially in his role as king. He sought a blameless heart and to be blameless in his actions, yet often fell short as David strove to live up to the high standards he set for himself and others.

Why do we avoid certain thoughts? Why do difficult truths fade when we procrastinate? And what does prayer have to do with attention?This episode explores:- The soul's longing for God- Why humans avoid painful truth- Self-deception and attention management- Procrastination as a spiritual issue- The relationship between awareness and transformation- “The greatest freedom of human life”Featuring reflections from:- William James- Flannery O'Connor- Gregg Ten ElshofScripture:- Psalm 42#Psalm42 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #SelfAwareness #ChristianFaith #Psychology #Attention #BibleStudy #Psalms

Sunday Morning, March 22, 2026Bless the Lord, O my soul ... Psalm 103A message delivered by Jody Failoni

Pastor Don's Books: https://ttwpress.com  Welcome to Through the Psalms, a weekend ministry of TheTruthPulpit.com. Over time, we will study all 150 psalms with Pastor Don Green from TruthCommunityChurch.org in Cincinnati, Ohio. We're glad you're with us. Let's open to the Psalms as we join our teacher in The Truth Pulpit. https://thetruthpulpit.com/ttpw

A psalm of praise and thanksgiving

Blessed Thirst | Psalm 42:1–2 | Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?“As the deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.”Psalm 42 opens with one of the most honest and vulnerable cries in Scripture—a soul desperate for God in a dry and weary land. In this first message of our Psalm 42 series, Pastor CJ Witkoe explores what it means to have a blessed thirst—a longing for the living God that refuses to settle for spiritual stagnation.Psalm 42 is a lament—written for public worship by the Sons of Korah. That means this wasn't private journaling. It was sung. Repeated. Prayed together. Because while circumstances change, human emotions don't.In a world full of distractions, idols, and “stagnant water,” this message asks a piercing question:Are you thirsty for God—or just a version of Him that fits your comfort zone?In this sermon, you'll discover:

Praise Series #16 Bless The Lord, O My SoulPsalm 103:1-5 “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits—who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.”Yesterday I couldn't get a song out of my head. It is such a good song. I wanted to share that song with you this morning. The song is called “10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord).” It was written by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin and is based on Psalms 103:1-5. It explores how we can never run out of reasons to worship and praise God. On Monday of this week, Episode #1036, we talked about how vital praise and worship are to our faith journey. This song and this Psalm remind us that there are so many reasons we can be grateful to the Lord.Let's first look at these verses. They begin with “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” This is exactly what we talked about on Monday. Praising the Lord is so important. Even when we are in a really difficult season of life, there are many reasons we can be grateful to the Lord, and we can praise Him.In the verse, it says, “who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.” Those are some pretty amazing things to thank God for. You might not have experienced all of them, but I bet you have experienced some of them. Have you felt God's steadfast mercy and love in your life? Have you experienced His forgiveness? Some of you have even experienced his healing touch. I know some of you have been redeemed from a pit as well. I love the line that says your youth is renewed like the eagles. We could all use our youth to be renewed.Can you see all the amazing things God has done and will do for us? Can you see how there are endless possibilities when it comes to praising the Lord? The song for today also talks about praising the Lord. I invite you to listen to the song sometime today. You can look it up on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Music, wherever you usually listen to music. The reason I would like you to listen to the actual song, instead of just this podcast, is that it is really good. Here are the words to the song.[Chorus]Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soulWorship His holy nameSing like never before, O my soulI'll worship Your holy nameAs you can see, this chorus comes almost directly from the Psalm. I love it when artists do this. I love it when they use the Bible verses in the songs. It helps get the Lord's word out to more people.Next is Verse 1:    The sun comes up, it's a new day dawningIt's time to sing your song againWhatever may pass and whatever lies before meLet me be singing when the evening comesThis is something we can always be grateful for: that we got to wake up to a brand new day of life. I love how this verse says, whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes. Wouldn't it be great if we could be singing to the Lord at the end of the day, no matter what happens to us throughout the day? How great would it be if we got so used to praising the Lord that we could praise Him no matter the circumstances?Verse 2:You're rich in love and you're slow to angerYour name is great, and Your heart is kindFor all Your goodness, I will keep on singingTen thousand reasons for my heart to findWe tend to have a perception of God that he is angry at us all the time. We look at some parts of the Old Testament, and we think God is full of Vengeance and Wrath. This is not what He is constantly telling our prayer group. He always tells us how much He loves us. God is rich in love and slow to anger. Does he get angry? Probably, we all do. However, He loves us so much more than his anger. I love how the verse says, “For all your goodness, I will keep on singing ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. If you are looking, there are always reasons to be thankful to God. Even in your most difficult season, there are things you can praise the Lord for; you just have to look for them. Or, as I mentioned on Monday, you can put on praise and worship music and let the artists praise the Lord for you![Verse 3]And on that day when my strength is failingThe end draws near, and my time has comeStill, my soul will sing Your praise unendingTen thousand years and then forevermoreForevermoreIt is beautiful to think about praising the Lord when our time on this earth is ending. When we can feel our strength failing. How great would it be to get to the end of our lives and still want to sing the Lord's praises? I like how it says ten thousand years and then forever more. Once we are in heaven, all will make sense. We will understand all the things that we don't understand now. Then we will get to praise the Lord for all eternity.[Chorus]Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soulWorship His holy nameSing like never before, O my soulI'll worship Your holy nameThis song is such a great song to play when you want to worship the Lord. As I listened to it last night at prayer group I knew I would be listening to it, more often. It's a great way to praise the Lord!Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless all those listening to this episode. Lord, we love you, and we are so grateful for all you do for us. We are sorry we don't always appreciate all you do. We are sorry that we don't always know how to praise you. Please help us with this, Lord. Please stir our hearts and help us to learn to praise you more often. We want to always be telling you how much we appreciate you. We ask all this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you all here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I!

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this July 29th, join your host, Hunter, as he guides us through another enriching day in our year-long journey through Scripture. Today's episode takes us through Isaiah 57–59, Psalm 103, and 2 Peter 3. Together, we'll reflect on God's promises of healing and restoration, the call to authentic living and justice, and the hope of Christ's return. Hunter encourages us to shift our focus from ourselves to the goodness and mercy of God, practicing “soul talk” by reminding our hearts daily of His blessings. Stay tuned for a time of prayer, encouragement, and a reminder that you are deeply loved. Settle in, open your heart, and let's discover the abundant life Jesus offers—one day, one scripture at a time. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Give your soul a good talk. There are times when our soul needs a little talking to. Psalm 103 leads by example: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name.” The psalmist is intentionally reminding himself, calling his soul to attention, saying—remember what God has done for you! He lists off the goodness of God: He has forgiven you, healed you, redeemed you, crowned you with love and mercy, satisfied you with good things. He renews your strength, vindicates the oppressed, reveals His ways—over and over, the psalmist checks off these reminders, pointing his soul back to gratitude and truth. When we give ourselves a good soul talk, we shift the focus away from our messes or even our own virtues, and put it where it belongs—on the goodness and sufficiency of God. Instead of dwelling on what we have done or failed to do, we lift our eyes to what He has done, and continues to do. That's not just “positive self-talk”—it's gospel talk. It is the practice of reciting God's faithfulness, mercy, and grace down deep into our roots, day by day. We need this kind of soul talk every single day. And not only do we need to speak the gospel to ourselves, we need others to speak it over us. That's why being in community, family, and church matters so much. Let's be intentional, not just with ourselves, but in encouraging and reminding those around us—our loved ones, our friends, our coworkers—of the good news of God's love and faithfulness. Are you feeling discouraged, anxious, or condemned? Give yourself a good soul talk. Make a list of ways God has shown mercy and grace. Reread Psalm 103, write out your own list, and make a habit of shifting your gaze to Jesus daily. This is my prayer for my own life, for my family, and for you: may you speak the good news to your soul, and may your life be anchored in the hope and mercy found in Christ. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me. Again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide. Not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth, that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
