What does meditating on the word of God look like practically? I have good news for you – Christian meditation is ultra-practical and easy to work into your schedule. If you only have five minutes per day, you can meditate on God’s Word for greater peace. It’s that simple.
Three Indicators It’s Time to Begin a Spiritual Practice
We all go through seasons of feeling like we are not doing enough for God. We feel the tension of needing something new, the discomfort of feeling far from God, or dwindling mental clarity. We know something has got to give. Is it time to begin a spiritual practice? Consider these three indicators.
The Life-Changing Practice of Trust Over Anxiety
If this world has taught us anything in recent months it is this: We are not in control. Our peace of mind has been assaulted with uncertainty, loss of health, security and life as we’ve known it. These are things we have all relied on and with them now in question we must decide where to turn. Is it the news? Is it the “experts”? Or is it a God who is not surprised by anything?
Daily Surrender that Steadies Us in the Storms of Life
Maybe the storm has overtaken you because you were fighting it on your own instead of asking the Creator of the storm how to coexist with the storm. That may seem strange at first, learning how to cohabitate with what’s trying to drown you, but this isn’t a new concept. Jesus promised us an abundant life, but He also promised us a physical life that would be filled with trouble.
Mental Practices to Draw Closer to God
God loves us and reaches out for us constantly. How can we, on our ends, cultivate a solid connection with Him? One that withstands whatever we’re going through and however we’re feeling? Let’s talk about some intentional mental practices we can use daily to “set our minds on things above.”
Meaningful Self-Care: Following Jesus’ Example
Jesus’ example of retreating in order to be close to a Father He was unified with should be a model for how we all live. His coming away from the noise was teaching us how to be human in relationship with the Father.
Let’s Commit to More Time with God, Without the Guilt
Consistent time with God is how we center our lives around Him, get regular direction, and grow closer to Him relationally. In fact, I would argue that consistency is more important than length of time or what you do. These are a few ideas for doing it more often - with no shame added.
