A meditation based on the daily prayer from Sacred Space. Take a moment to pause and reflect after each part.

Presence

“Be still and know that I am God.”

Lord, may your Spirit guide me to seek your loving presence more and more. For it is there I find rest and refreshment from this busy world.

Consciousness

Lord, grant that I may always desire to spend time in your presence. May I not forget your goodness to me. Guide me to share your blessings with others.

The Word of God

Psalm 92 (NLT)

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer;
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honour them.
I will reward them with a long life
and give them my salvation.”

Conversation

What feelings are rising in me as I pray and reflect on God’s Word? I imagine Jesus himself sitting or standing near me and I open my heart to him.

Conclusion

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
