Quite frequently I (Hannah) feel overwhelmed by different things going on around me & the juggle of a beautifully full life. Just reading the news of the world or thinking about the level of suffering or HUGE need of so many - it can be A LOT! Jesus said “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11v28.

There is a definite letting go that needs to happen on my part… Like carrying a rucksack of worries to Jesus in prayer & then needing to leave them with Him, rather than putting the full backpack back on again. I find it really helpful to sing the old hymn ‘I surrender all’. “All to Him my blessed (amazing) saviour”… We’re sooooooo grateful that we can ‘surrender all to Him’. From my experience, things that are beyond my control need to be given to Him in prayer frequently - & practicing not worrying is something I need to keep working at!

Our prayer is that you encounter some of Jesus’ peace as you use this to help you still yourself and your mind in prayer. He’s incredible at holding the tension of both pain & amazing hope together.

“This is How I fight my battles…”

Watch the video https://youtu.be/U7rQJ5D5GTs

What a fab song by Elyssa Smith. This morning I had a full head (again!) and couldn’t feel God’s peace tangibly. My heart feels a bit hardened from a few little conflicting situations around me… (and generally being a parent of three, living and working in a wonderful community of 100+ that feels intense at times!) “Our fight is not against flesh and blood but against the powers and principalities of this dark age…. “ Ephesians 6 v12…

It’s soooo good for us to worship when we feel in the thick of it. It’s soo good for us to take our eyes of ourselves, look to Jesus & pour our affection on Him…. Being thankful, enjoying his presence. It feels like our minds and hearts get re-calibrated when we do this & we can be filled with a new sense of joy. We’ll need to consciously keep coming back to this through the day… but it’s a great start!

We pray that this will be a blessing to you in your time with Him today too. 🙏🏻

Have it All…

Ever feel like your mind is so full of so many things, issues, to do items, problems needing to be solved? This session was one of those days that my mind was so full - a little chaotic in truth & it felt like so many things I was ‘juggling’ were out of my control with a whole bunch of moving parts - making decisions really tricky. I had the privilege of working with ​⁠ @epiphanycollective that week, but one event with our local refugee community had been cancelled and we really wanted to do something that would serve those guys… When singing, “we lay our burdens down” whilst litterally visualising giving God (naming & handing over) this during this soaking session, my prayer was that He will take the burden off me & in His amazing way, make something work out. Over the years I’ve walked with Jesus, He’s sorted things out sooooo many times where it seemed impossible for me to do so…

This particular morning, litterally about 2 minutes after we’d finished the session, my hubby said he was having a Zoom meeting with an old friend of mine (Rosanna Leal) who I hadn’t been in touch with for over a year… possibly more. Rosanna had contacted him about a project they needed his help for - for the first time…. Long story short - I stayed in the studio for a minute to say hi to this amazing lady & she told me about their refugee cafe called ‘Dove Cafe’ in Bexhill - 2 minutes later , Epiphany had been invited to come and play ‘sound portraits’ for the refugees in the Dove Cafe in two days time.. God has an amazing way of working things out - in ways that we couldn’t have even thought of - orchestrating people to think of and contact eachother after years - opening up fab opportunities.

When we actively ‘lay our burdens down’ before Jesus, He has an amazing way of sorting things out by giving us the wisdom or by intervening in an incredible way. How amazing that He loves to ‘carry us’ like this - caring about the smallest of details in our lives. SUCH a privilege to walk with Him in this way.

If you need a bunch of prayers answered & to hand over a load of burdens - I really really encourage you to do so - see what happens when we surrender our control over to Him - it’s so often, really beautiful! (& do let us know the stories!)
