Be Still

There is a song by The Fray that touches my soul.  It's titled, "Be Still".  I interpret it talking about God and the faith that we should have in Him.  Here are the lyrics:

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know that I am here
Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still, be still, and know

When darkness comes upon you
And covers you with fear and shame
Be still and know that I'm with you
And I will say your name

If terror falls upon your bed
And sleep no longer comes
Remember all the words I said
Be still, be still, and know

And when you go through the valley
And the shadow comes down from the hill
If morning never comes to be
Be still, be still, be still

If you forget the way to go
And lose where you came from
If no one is standing beside you
Be still and know I am

Be still and know that I'm with you
Be still and know I am

How powerful are those lyrics?  The simplistic quality exuberates the power within the words.  So many times I feel bogged down by my job, life, worry, and fear, but when I hear those words, this simple song, I am filled with hope and remember that God is in control.  

There have been so many times that God has taken care of situations that I thought were just impossible.  He has shown me that I shouldn't worry so much.  Still, it's so hard.  It's hard not to worry about all the little things, so much weight it adds to life.  All we can do is have faith.  As my friend, Em, says all the time, "Let go and let God."
