'Spaces' by Arcadia Worship: God's Presence in Our Empty Moments


Arcadia Worship’s new single “Spaces” is a song about finding comfort in God’s presence when there is a distance between you and your loved ones. This relateable feeling of distance has been skillfully used to get the listener thinking about what feelings our own distance from God gives us. When we feel far away, whether it is from loved ones or from God, the key is in remembering that God is always near by, filling the spaces and bringing His peace.

Arcadia Worship - spacesThe first verse sets a scene - those tough times you face when you’re separated from the One or ones you care about. Even though you are here, part of your heart is miles away. This song beautifully expresses our need for God’s presence to close that emotional distance. The chorus is a comforting declaration that God fills those empty spaces, holding our hearts together and giving us peace, no matter how scattered our minds might be.

The second verse speaks about when your thoughts are going all over the place, possibly causing anxiety, times when God really pulls you in and recenters your heart, a source of peace that you can’t always comprehend. The bridge reinforces the powerful truth that God isn’t far away. He is and always has been by your side!

This song places a different perspective on distance. God can fill the spaces of any distance. He is ready to fill those spaces with His love and peace. All it takes is for you to invite Him in: 'God I need your presence to come and fill the space.'

May “Spaces” by Arcadia Worship help you to invite His peace and reassurance into your heart.

Sarah Kroger, Nathan Jess - Belovedness - Live (CCM)

Are you tired of feeling inadequate and alone in your struggles? Have a look at Sarah Kroger's 'Belovedness,' a powerful ballad that reminds us of our worth as children of God. Initially released on Kroger's sophomore album, 'Light,' during the peak of a global healthcare crisis, 'Belovedness' quickly found a following among those battling mental health challenges. The revisited live version, recorded in a barn-turned-studio in the UK countryside, offers a sweet, intimate take on the song, featuring Northern Irish singer-songwriter Nathan Jess on vocals.

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. 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. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how
