Meditation: He is Near

In my blog last month, I said we would do a guided biblical meditation together, learning how to be still, quiet our minds and listen to God through His Word.

To listen, you need to find a quiet place, free from distractions.

It is helpful to do a little relaxation before you begin. If your mind is racing and your body is tense, it is difficult to receive the benefits of meditation.

Take 3 slow breaths from the belly… 1 … 2 … 3 … Always inhale through the nose; you can exhale either through the nose or mouth. Notice any tensions in your body. If your arms are gripping the chair, release them. If your neck and shoulders are tense, slowly let go of that tension.

Take another 3 slow breaths … 1 … 2 … 3… As you inhale you may say, “Come, Lord Jesus” or “I breathe in peace”. As you exhale, you may want to say, “I release fear, tension, pain”, or another word that is meaningful for you.
