Ep 69 - Bless the Lord, O My Soul | The Psalm 103 Project

<p>What does it look like to command your own soul back to worship when it does not want to rise? Not as a theory — as a practice. The way David did it. The way I have had to do it in this season.</p><p>This episode begins something I have been praying over for a long time: a walk into Psalm 103, the psalm that has quietly been holding me through a season I did not fully understand until recently. I started this project in late winter. Then I got sick, and everything stopped. And in the recovering and the re-recording, I learned something I had been carrying for years without a name for it — post-traumatic stress disorder, out of a long season of end-of-life caregiving. Looking back, I can see that God had drawn me to this psalm before I could have told you why. He had me writing about a soul that has to be called back to worship at the very time I was fighting to remember anything good at all. That is not an accident. Nothing is, with Him.</p><p>So this is not a study for people who have it all together. It is a psalm written by someone who did not — and I am not coming to you from the far side of it, healed and looking back. I am still being healed, one step toward Christ at a time. Not above you. Beside you.</p><p>We begin with the very first line, where David does not sing to a crowd. He talks to himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul. A command, not a feeling. A call home.</p><p><strong>In This Episode:</strong></p><ul><li>Who David really was — overlooked, passed over, passionate, broken, and a man after God's own heart all at the same time. Not a stained-glass figure. A real man, far more like us than we tend to believe.</li><li>Nephesh (Genesis 2:7) — why "soul" means the whole of you, every room in the heart, opened to God at once</li><li>Psalm 42 — the companion psalm where the soul again speaks to the soul, calling itself back to what is true</li><li>Self-control as the fruit of the Spirit — Spirit-led turning, not white-knuckle willpower</li><li>Forget not — why forgetting is the default, why prosperity dulls the memory faster than suffering, and how the Lord's table is where we fight that very forgetting</li><li>Bless his holy name — why a name in the Hebrew world was a revelation of character, and how Jesus begins prayer exactly where David begins this psalm</li></ul><p>A note on the series: this began as an eight-part walk through all of Psalm 103. For now, I am sharing this one stanza as a doorway into the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GzND7eLLyOP7njrcAkWHN-9iW8CXdj2-/view?usp=drive_link⁠" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">prayer guide</a> and <a href="https://suno.com/playlist/6f9808d8-f745-4e96-b72f-cff5dc2e141b" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ambient worship album</a> — enough of the story to draw you into your own time with the Lord.

Ep 68 - What God Built in the Quiet (The Mercy Project)

<p>What does God&#39;s mercy sound like when you need it most — not theologically, but personally? Present tense. Real in the specific ruins of a very specific season.</p><p>This episode has been three months in the making. Not because I was planning something big — but because life didn&#39;t stop long enough for me to sit down and record. Bronchitis that put me in bed for a few weeks incluing an ER visit. A women&#39;s retreat I almost couldn&#39;t attend. A layoff. A miracle. And in the middle of all of it, almost 19 hours of original ambient worship music being built track by track, passage by passage, out of intercession.</p><p>The most personal of those projects is Rachamim | The Mercy Project. Twenty-seven tracks. Nine movements. One unbroken thread of God&#39;s chesed and rachamim — His covenant love and womb-mercy — traced through Scripture from Romans to Revelation.</p><p>Rachamim is the Hebrew word for the womb-love of God. The mercy that holds you before you know you need holding. That sustains you in the dark before you are aware of being sustained. I went looking for it in Scripture because I needed to know it was real. Not on the other side of the hard season. In the middle of it.</p><p><br></p><p>In This Episode:</p><p>- <strong>Romans 5:8</strong> — the agape that was already moving toward you </p><p>before you knew you needed it, before you were even looking for it</p><p>- <strong>Lamentations 3:22-24</strong> — Jeremiah in the ruins making the </p><p>yet, declaring hesed and rachamim from inside the ash heap of </p><p>Jerusalem</p><p>- <strong>Revelation 22</strong> — the third garden, the river running </p><p>crystal clear from the throne of the Lamb, the Spirit and the Bride </p><p>saying Come to everyone still thirsty</p><p>- <strong>Discover the three gardens of Scripture</strong> — Eden, Gethsemane, and </p><p>Revelation 22 — and the river that connects them all</p><p>- <strong>Understand why the water of life is offered freely</strong> — and what that </p><p>freedom actually cost</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Listen to Rachamim | The Mercy Project:</strong> </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/uVj8P9eMHag?si=E_AsDF5STdG4dZMh" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtu.be/uVj8P9eMHag?si=E_AsDF5STdG4dZMh</a></p><p><br></p><p>Want to go deeper?</p><p>- Download the free companion devotional: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXoZBfVaHxJTFL3f0ZTRbmVDkg_JIrCa/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109108011886213284659&rtpof=true&sd=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gXoZBfVaHxJTFL3f0ZTRbmVDkg_JIrCa/edit?usp=sharing&amp;ouid=109108011886213284659&amp;rtpof=true&amp;sd=true</a></p><p>- Explore Thematic Verse Mapping: <a href="https://www.ThematicVerseMapping.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.ThematicVerseMapping.com</a></p><p>- Connect with our community: <a href="https://youtube.com/@lyricandletterstudios/community?si=Ym7TJBHrAllg4QzF" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://youtube.com/@lyricandletterstudios/community?si=Ym7TJBHrAllg4QzF</a></p><p>- Subscribe for devotionals, studies, and Scripture reflections: </p><p><a href="https://www.lyricandletter.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.lyricandletter.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>The Spirit and the Bride say Come.</p><p><br></p><p>Lyric and Letter Studios | lyricandletter.com</p><p>This episode contains original ambient worship music created by Lyric </p><p>and Letter Studios using Suno AI.
