Is All Well with Your Soul?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know all is well with their soul. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The famous song, “It is Well with My Soul,” was written by Horatio G. Spafford in 1873.
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
This song was written by a man who lost his four children when their ship sank in the Atlantic. His wife, Anne, survived. When Spafford was on his way to join his wife, he learned where the ship went down. That is when he wrote the words that Philip P. Bliss put to music in 1876.
Consider what the author of 3 John 2-4 (ESV) writes:
“Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
May things go well with your soul. Troubled? In need? Turn to Christ! Open God’s holy and inspired word. Seek and you shall find.
