He is Risen Indeed | Easter Sunday Lent Meditation

This guided Christian meditation in Luke 10 reminds us that we can turn away from distraction and worry to embrace Jesus’s better way.

Get your FREE Peace, Be Still Guided Meditation Journal here.



You are worried and upset about many things.

Jesus said this to Martha over 2000 years ago.

Yet these words are also for us today.

Martha was distracted with preparing to host her loved ones. It caused her to be upset and worried—and perhaps a little disgruntled since she was the only one doing the work.

Jesus helped her reframe her anxiety with these words, “few things are needed—or indeed only one.” He then reminded Martha that there was a better choice than the one she was making.

If you’re feeling pulled apart by all that demands your attention, then this meditation is for you. There is a better way.

Jesus invites us to walk and work with him at his pace.

A pace that trusts God to help us accomplish what truly needs to be done and let the rest go.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Luke 10:38-42, NIV

As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”

41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.

Choosing What is Better | Scripture Meditation for Fear and Anxiety

This guided Christian meditation in Isaiah 43 will bring you peace as you remember that God will see you through any difficult situation you face.



Get your FREE Peace, Be Still Guided Meditation Journal here.



When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.

When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.

Isaiah 43:2 The Message

I find a lot of comfort in these words. God will not let go of us.

He will never leave us nor forsake us.

But, I’ll be honest, I wish this verse said something more like—you won’t get in over your head, you won’t face rough waters, you won’t feel like you’re in the flames.

We don’t get a free pass from suffering. But we do get the assurance that God will help us through whatever comes.

This is why Jesus reminds us, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

In this meditation, you will be guided to name a situation that is currently causing you anxiety. Then, with the Spirit, you will be guided to notice how God is with you in the midst of whatever you are facing. As you are comforted with this truth, I pray you will exchange your current fear or anxiety for the peace God is offering.

I will be with you

and the rivers will not overwhelm you,

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be scorched

and the flame will not burn you.

3 For I am the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, and your Savior.

God Won’t Let You Go | Scripture Meditation for Fear and Anxiety

This guided Christian meditation in Proverbs 3 will bring you peace as you remember God is with you even when life doesn’t make sense.

Get your FREE Peace, Be Still Guided Meditation Journal here.

Why? 

It’s a question we ask God a lot.

And a question for which we rarely get satisfactory answers.

Spinning in the unanswerable question of why can bring fear and anxiety.

This meditation will give you space to acknowledge your questions and release them to God. Then, turn to God in trust. Because as Proverbs 3 reminds us, that is where the path gets straight, and the next steps become clear.
