'Rest' by Hannah B. Johnson: Nurture your Soul, Find His Peace


Moments of respite are much sought-after in the rush of our daily lives, perhaps none more so than in the heart of a believer yearning for God's peace. This is the poignant story behind Hannah B. Johnson's beautiful song 'Rest.' 'Rest' became Hannah's prayer, born from an overwhelmed heart seeking tranquility in an increasingly noisy world—a prayer she now shares with us, two years later and after uprooting her life to move closer to her family in Nashville.

Hannah B. Johnson - Rest'Make it quiet in here,' the song's heartfelt lyrics say. 'Calm my raging fears. Help me hear Your voice above the endless noise.'— 'Rest' speaks to tired souls navigating life's noisy turmoil. It leads us to divine solace—God's reassuring presence, which, in His vastness, blankets us in silent calm, quells our fears, and quiets the clamor.

Hannah presents 'Rest' as a sanctifying hymn, a soothing antidote to life's hardships, with the humble invitation to dwell in God's holy presence, to trust and believe in Him with every fiber of our being. It captures our deepest longing, highlighting the transformative power of faith, the comfort of divine presence, and the hope that springs from our relationship with Him.

We wholeheartedly encourage everyone to immerse themselves in the profound simplicity and divine truth of 'Rest'. Allow it to nourish your soul, guide you to peace, and draw you closer to His never-failing divine presence.

But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.'  Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.'   Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love.
