..It is well with my soul...

In the words of Hannah Whitall Smith "In my own case I just determined I would be satisfied with God alone. I gave up seeking after any feeling of satisfaction, and consented to go through all the rest of my life with no feeling whatever, if this should be God's will. I said, "Lord, you are enough for me, just yourself, without any of your gifts or your blessings. I have you, and I am content. I will be content, I choose to be content, I am content." I said this by faith. I still have to say it by faith often. I have to do so this very evening, for I am not very well, and feel, what I expect thou would call "low". But it makes no difference how I feel. He is just the same, and he is with me, and I am His, and I am satisfied"

Continuing in the same spirit, Spafford wrote a song after four of his daughters died. The beautiful song goes like this:
"When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul."

Let these be our prayers too. Straight from the heart, flowing out of our mouths.
