Feeling His peace

For quiet sometime I've struggled with knowing how to know when God is speaking to me, or knowing how to know if he is really there. I recently had a big life change where I ended a relationship that had been a big part of me for quiet a few years, and although I don't know where God will lead that situation in the future, I do know that I felt a peace about it. Something was telling me that for now I needed to focus on re-building me.
Despite that fact I have felt that way it is still a hard situation letting go of someone or something in your life that has had a large impact for an extended period of time, and on one particular night I was feeling pretty down and just lost. I went out on a bike ride to try and clear my head, but was still just feeling like something was missing. A voice in my head kept telling me to turn on my music. I finally put my head phones on and switched my Pandora to a Christian rock group station and that's when I heard Him, God, telling me he loved me, and was here for me in a song I felt was speaking directly to me. And then another one came, and another, until I started feeling relaxed and at peace.
After my bike ride I got home and decided I needed to go for a run as well, but was worried cause my phone battery had been going low very quickly for last few weeks and I only had 50%  battery life. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to track how far I was going and listen to my Christian music without it dying on me. I took my chance and set off. Half way into my run I just smiled when I looked to see and my phone was still at the exact 54% it had been when I left the house. Another small blessing from God.
This may seem silly to other people, they  may question that God actually speaks to people through music, especially Christian rock. I feel that's how we miss him though. He is there trying to speak to us in things he knows we appreciate, weather it be a kind stranger on the street, a sweet word from our child, a beautiful sunrise or sunset, God is reaching out to us. We just need to look at the simple things to feel His peace.
