Meditate on God's Word

Psalm 119:15-16 (Contemporary English Version)

¹⁵I will study your teachings

and follow your footsteps.

¹⁶I will take pleasure

in your laws and remember your words.

Meditate literally means to "self talk."

When you face the toughest seasons of your life, get in the Word and repeat the promises of God.

1. Remind yourself of God's goodness, love and power.

2. Fill your mind and heart with God's voice.

3. Talk about the victory and blessings that are yours as a child of God!

4. Repeat blessings instead of curses.

5. Remind yourself that God is in control and that you won't always be in this struggle.

6. Listen to encouraging teaching and preaching from God's Word.

7. And most importantly, learn how to encourage yourself by the instruction, blessings and promises found in God's Word.

When you bury yourself in Scripture, you'll get a new perspective on the problem------God's viewpoint.

Trials look different when you see them through the lenses of God's promises and God's Word. Get a new vision by focusing on God and not on the problems around you.

No matter what you feel......no matter what your mind tells you....no matter what the voices around you say, the Scriptures are reliable and true.........

A prayer of blessings over you......

I speak peace to your mind, in Jesus' name.

May the Holy Spirit soothe and minister to you.

May you hear the power of a whisper.

May your ears be open to His still, small voice.

May God's strength, rest and peace sustain you in the middle-of-the storm.

Amen
