One of my favorite hymns of all time is "It is Well With My Soul."  The message of this particular song always gives me great joy and hope. Take a moment to read over the lyrics: 

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.

It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
 
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
 
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
 
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul. 
 
I preached a message tonight entitled "It Shall Be Well."  The message is taken from the fourth chapter of II Kings.  Several people that are very precious to me are going through some battles right now and I believe that the Lord used the burden I am carrying in this message.  May it be a blessing to you.
