Missing Peace

I’ve had a few seasons in my life when I could almost tangibly feel the presence of God and nearly hear his audible voice. It was like I could reach out and touch him. There was a specific moment in college when God felt so near that I remember thinking that I would never again doubt His existence or His faithfulness.

But then life wears on. It ebbs and flows through joy, pain and the inevitability of growing older and hopefully growing up. And even though God never leaves, he can’t always be felt. This is particularly hard when there’s loss. 

I want him to give me the game plan; to tell me the future, but mostly he doesn’t. When it comes down to it, I think I want answers, but what I need is peace. And the only place to find that peace is in Jesus Himself. Sometimes all I have to hold onto is his promise that he is there with me through all of it, whether I feel his presence or not. I have the assurance that he is good, faithful and kind. He is my missing peace.

I know it’s here somewhere

The faith I used to have

Before the sky fell down on me

Behind the curtain

Beneath the hospital bed

Hiding just beyond my reach

Feels like my prayers are

Bouncing off the ceiling tiles

Like a helium balloon

I can’t close the distance

Between the way I feel

And what I know is true

I’m caught up in a battle I wasn’t looking for

When searching for solace in the middle of a war

You are, You are, You are my missing peace

You are, You are, You are my missing peace

My missing peace

I’m tired of waiting

But I’m afraid of how it’s gonna end

So I’m stuck here in between

Bracing for bad news

And hoping for a miracle

While I’m fighting to believe

I’m caught up in a battle I wasn’t looking for

When searching for solace in the middle of a war

CHORUS

You silence my worry when fear is deafening

I think I want answers, but what I really need is peace

My missing peace

CHORUS
