[@StorytellingHero]

I am a young service missionary struggling with depression and anxiety, and this song has helped me so much throughout the past four or so years it’s kind of unbelievable. Praise God for bringing peace to our souls! His church is true!❤️❤️

[@heyfitzpablum]

I've battled Depression all my life and am near 70 today. This video has given me peace in challenging times as well. This is the peace we will know all the time, eventually.

I lost my nephew to suicide in November 2024. He was 27. This beautiful hymn soothes my broken heart ✨

[@arabatakyiwathomas]

This song makes me remember the day my dad passed away the missionaries and the mission president sang it for us to calm our souls but to be honest it made us cry our eyes out because we loved our dad alot knowing we will not hear nor see him again on this earth but knowing and believing that we will still see each other again because of the atonement of Jesus Christ and the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ that made us to seal for time and eternity.

[@John.Christopher]

[@carlaanderson3574]

With such anger in my soul, I needed to hear this song today. I love the Lord so much but sometimes I'm not strong enough to put my anger in his hands.

I trust the Lord. As I strive to do this He will give me the strength & the courage to overcome my anger & return to a calmness. He is a GOD of miracles.

[@ellex9748]

Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side; With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain. Leave to thy God to order and provide; In ev’ry change he faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav’nly Friend Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end. Be still, my soul: The hour is hast’ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

What blessings and comfort we get from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

[@핑엘리]

A couple years back, I was two months into a proselyting mission, and really, seriously struggling with a stupor of thought I couldn't understand that seemed to just be getting worse. It felt like this horrible fog of depression and I was so tired of fighting to stay in the field. My companion and I were at the local branch building to watch the April 2022 conference, and she felt strongly prompted to play this song specifically for me between sessions. She then added that music wasn't a way He spoke to her, so the message must have been for me. She then proceeded to sit there in mild shock as I sobbed through the entire song. It was my James 1:5 moment- it seemed to enter with great force into every fiber of my soul. I wasn't told what to do, but I could feel God's overwhelming love for me and I knew instantly he would support me regardless of what I chose. I did end up transferring to a service mission, the stupor of thought lifted, and I think this will be my favorite hymn for the rest of my life.

[@Zackerath]

I live with anxiety, with depression and with Autism. Moments of peace are… of great value to me. One day, whether in this life or the next, I will be able to sit back, close my eyes and be at peace. Until that day, thank you, for you’ve sung for me a song I cannot sing.

[@russjohnson364]

We hear you, @Zacherath....remember each moment of peace you have; treasure it, and more and more peace will come unto you. You don't know me, but your words compelled me to write; how momentary, sporatic glimpses of peace and calm within constant storms of unrest and chaos must provide you undescribable serenity. "Be still my soul thy best, thy heavenly friend; Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end". This hymn raises me up and over horrid past memories. May it always reach down, and be yet another reminder of those peaceful moments for you.

[@joshuab2437]

You're stronger than any of these men if you don't give in to your challenge. Remain in Christ and you will gain the victorious crown.

[@davidglover5255]

I love my Father, He calms the storms within my soul.

1:46 is absolutely beautiful. Heard this hymn watching Jimmy Carter's funeral and that pary honestly bought tears to my eyes. Just so sad but beautiful at the same time

My favorite Hymn..I want this played at my memorial service, when I get to meet my daughter Cher, in heaven, one fine day!!

May all that is within you be granted, Sissy F. I ask the precious Father God, Creator of the Universe comfort you now and for all the days of your life.

[@weehubbyable]

This heavenly choir once again brings me to tears, and touch my very soul. Music has such a powerful force I love it.

[@aniak5208]

How sad and tragic the oboe sounds ... The second melody being sung was "Road to Home". Something like a mix of love for people, family, and at the same time pain, sadness and anxiety... It's a very nice music arrangment...

[@jeffoliver7227]

This hyme helped me much when i was ill years ago . Helped me back on track in my life ..

[@janicetehie3839]

I sang this song at my father's memorial service on Nov. 23, 2013, one month after his death at age 96. I don't know how I got through it. I was also getting sick with bronchitis, probably from the stress. After that, I practically ended up in the hospital with bronchitis and pneumonia. A fellow choir member came and stayed with me for 2 days because I was so sick. But I was determined to make it and I did.

[@weehubbyable]

In floods of tears here this as touched my soul again

Pain and suffering is like going through the refiners fire, being shaped and molded into something beautiful. This song by the Tabernacle Choir helps make the process easier.

[@baggywhiskers]

I have no words to express this pain I feel inside. I've suffered and nearly died several times in my life, only to have to carry the weight of it all as I pick up the pieces. Still, I keep praying that God will bring me some relief soon.

Simply beautiful. Heard this at Jimmy Carter's funeral service. I wish more churches would sing this or maybe this song is for certain occasions. The range of music and lyrics and feeling and soul hits everyone in a unique way.

[@catia948]

When I feel overwhelmed, I turn to this hymn, and it brings peace to my soul. I also find comfort in reading Elder Thomas S. Monson’s talk from the April 2009 General Conference, "Be of Good Cheer." His words, "The future is as bright as your faith," always inspire me.

Why so many comments related this hymn to the Mormon church? This may be sung often by Mormon churches but originally this is a Finland traditional song which the mormonites did not exist at the time this song was created. This hymn is also adapted by many Christian church, e.g Methodist, Reform, Lutheran, etc.

Representative Text 1. Be still, my soul! the Lord is on your side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to your God to order and provide; In ev'ry change he faithful will remain. Be still, my soul! your best, your heav’nly friend Thru' thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2. Be still, my soul! your God does undertake To guide the future as he has the past; Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake; all now mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul! the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while he lived below. 3. Be still, my soul! when dearest friends depart And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shall you better know his love, his heart, Who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears. Be still, my soul! your Jesus can repay From his own fullness all he takes away. 4. Be still, my soul! the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. Be still my soul! when change and tears are past, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
