Silence and Stillness | Holy Saturday Lent Meditation

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.

When Nothing Makes Sense | Scripture Meditation for Fear and Anxiety

This guided Christian meditation in 1 Peter 5 will give you hope and peace in the midst of the fear and anxiety that difficult seasons bring.

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

When hardship or suffering enters our lives, one reason we begin to feel anxiety is because we have no idea when the hard season will end.

This unknown space becomes a breeding ground for the enemy’s lies.

Lies that 1 Peter says are intended to devour us. Devour. Meaning that the enemy wants to consume us and render us ineffective.

1 Peter exhorts us to stand firm against his attack and to remember that God cares for us so we can give our worries and anxieties to him.

If you’re struggling with anxiety and fear because you’re in a difficult season, I believe this meditation is for you. I’m praying God will use His Word to give perspective or reframing to whatever you’re enduring.

And may you remember that you are not alone. God cares deeply for you.

6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.

Give God Your Worries| Scripture Meditation for Fear and Anxiety

This guided Christian meditation in 1 Samuel will give you space to remember how God sees you, regardless of how you view yourself.

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

Rejection not only stings, but it also lingers.

Rejection threatens to identify us as unworthy or unwanted, which can create anxiety and fear. If we truly start to believe these lies, then we’ll shrink back, cease, and get small. We stop being who God created us to be.

King David may have been one of the greatest kings who ever lived, but he had to overcome being overlooked.

In this meditation, we will remember that God looks at our hearts.

If you’re fearful or anxious because you feel rejected, this week’s mediation will encourage you to remember …

God sees your heart.

God sees the very best of you.

God sees who he made you to be.

God sees you covered in the righteousness of Christ.

The whole meditation text is as follows:

1 Sam 16:6-12, NLT

6 When (Jesse and his sons) arrived, Samuel took one look at Eliab (the oldest son) and thought, “Surely this is the Lord’s anointed!”

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

8 Then Jesse told his son Abinadab to step forward and walk in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “This is not the one the Lord has chosen.” 9 Next Jesse summoned Shimea, but Samuel said, “Neither is this the one the Lord has chosen.” 10 In the same way all seven of Jesse’s sons were presented to Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.” 11 Then Samuel asked, “Are these all the sons you have?”

“There is still the youngest,” Jesse replied. “But he’s out in the fields watching the sheep and goats.”

“Send for him at once,” Samuel said. “We will not sit down to eat until he arrives.”

12 So Jesse sent for him. He was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes.

And the Lord said, “This is the one; anoint him.”

This guided Christian meditation in 1 Samuel will give you space to remember how God sees you, regardless of how you view yourself.
