Here is some things that were encouraging to me this morning, from my heart to yours:

Lord, I need You – Matt Maher and Audrey Assad

I Shall Not Want – Audrey Assad (lyrics below)
From the love of my own comfort
From the fear of having nothing
From a life of worldly passions
Deliver me O God

From the need to be understood
From the need to be accepted
From the fear of being lonely
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God

And I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

From the fear of serving others
From the fear of death or trial
From the fear of humility
Deliver me O God
Deliver me O God

And I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

No, I shall not want, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

When I taste Your goodness I shall not want

The following quotes are from a video (linked below) on restlessness:

“I wish I had an answer, a sort of spiritual band-aid for the great gaping hole between my theology and my practice. Cause I believe in God. I believe He is enough for me, and yet, some days, a lot of days, I live like I just don’t get that. I wish it was different. It’s tough to admit it, even to myself, but I am pretty sure I am not alone in this. So when my friend and I sat down to this song, we did so believing, but also honestly just hoping that our restlessness really is a door to the heart of God because it reveals exactly how much we need Him. St. Augustine says in his confessions, “You have made us for Yourself, O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” He is our first beginning and our last end. So our restlessness reveals the Greatness of the God who made us.

“I do think that that rest can be found here, in some way, that there is a supernatural place of rest to be found. I do think that you have to look really hard for it, in some ways. You have to take the clutter out.  Clear out the things that are crowding it out. And just kind of put your ear to the ground, listen for the footsteps of God, you know, walking past you.”

“Gardens” worship song at 5:15 of the 9 minute video below (although the whole thing is good food for thought):
Restless: On Silence and Worship

Thanks for letting me share!
Praying that your heart is encouraged and strengthened by the Lord today.
