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!)

This morning’s session is a simple prayer - for us to still ourselves & experience the beautiful presence of Holy Spirit. We also sing; “Our Hope Is In You” - a prayer over 2025 and beyond - that anything else we put our hope in can fail us - but not Jesus! We are releasing a single on 17th Jan which says just that… More info at https://hannahatkinslatty.com

Psalm 24 has been super relevant in 2024 for us and so many others. I (Hannah) wrote a song based on this psalm a. While back. “We seek Your face, come take Your place, King of Glory come in. Lift up you gates, we bow our heads, King of Glory come in.” Les Moir helped write the song (Les is good friend of ours who has had extensive experience in shaping some very well known music from Christian worship leaders such as Marin Smith (Delirious), Mat Redman, Graham Kendrick etc… such a gift to us too!)

We feel so strongly that we want to invite Jesus into the spaces in and around us…. As I’ve said before - we know He’s in us and through us already… BUT there is a sense that we want to welcome more of His spirit into our minds (transforming our sometimes warped thinking), into our heart and emotions - His peace, His incredible unconditional love… into our bodies where we are tired and weary. Our prayer is that we welcome Him more into our communities too… His love, his grace, His redemption - His Heavenly ‘order’ where there is chaos, anxiety & confusion.

We then go into one of my favourite worship songs at the moment ‘Holy Forever’. An epic writing collaboration of Brian and Jen Johnson, Phil Wickham, Chris Tomlin and Jason Ingram!

We hope that this worship journey will encourage a beautiful God wncounter for you. 🙏🏻

Deeper FAITH in Worship & Spontaneous Soaking Meditation Live Studio Session

Hebrews 12:2: "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith"

I couldn’t get this phrase out of my head when leading worship on Sunday. “Can’t take my eyes off You”. There are so many Bible verses about fixing our eyes on God (Jesus mainly in the NT of course!). We are sooooo good a navel gazing aren’t we! BUT It’s really not great for us to be focused on ourselves or our own situations all the time.

Using something for escapism is one way to deal with this… OR much better still; meditating on Higher things or “eternal unseen things”… 2 Corinthians 4:18 says: “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal”. That sums it up!

Thats wisdom right there. Escaping rarely changes our situation or our perspective, but ‘fixing our eyes on Him’ literally changes the way we think, the way we feel and sometimes the whole situation changes too! LOVE IT! We love turning our attention to Him & pray that this session will help you to do just that too :)

The heart behind this channel is to facilitate you to have encounters with God. We pray that this is a reality for you :) Do tell us if so!

Escape

“Psalm 91 v 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty"

Quite often, in the business of life, I just want to escape to a quiet space (which isn’t always possible with work and the kids etc!)… but when we do these soaking sessions, it litterally feels like we are ‘hiding’ in God. Psalm 91v1 says; He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Thats just it… we all need to hide under the ‘shadow’ or ‘wings’ of God sometimes. It’s also a state of heart / mind…. As we practice being still in the dedicated space, we can reach that ‘hiding place’ even in the business of the day. My prayer is that we can get so good at this!

The heart behind this channel is to facilitate you to have encounters with God. We pray that this is a reality for you :) Do tell us if so!

I read this fab Bible verse the other day and knew I needed to sing it for this session:

Micah 7:7-8 (NIV version) “But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.”

Whatever battle we might be facing, we can be assured that God will hear us and therefore we can ‘watch in Hope’. He might not answer in the way we’d like or are expecting… but He always hears and answers in one form or another.

Lamentations 3:25 says; “The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To those who seek Him.”

I might start a soaking session feeling a bit rushed - we’ve usually been up super early, going on a run, doing a load of washing, unloading the dishwasher, styling at least one or two of our kids hair, abiding to various other parent requests to help with booking school lunch or making lunch boxes, listening to our youngest read… rushing them off the school buses and… phew… soaking time! Ha! But a few minutes in & we begin to relax, feel His peace again! I know I can ‘watch with hope’… whatever the morning has been like, He will always LOVE that we’re looking to Him for an encounter. I can give our kids to Him & anything else on my mind too - in genuine hope that He will hear and answer me & ‘run’ to meet with me as I shift my focus from myself and situation to Him.

We pray that this session will help facilitate this same sense of peace & hope too. Do tell us if so!
