    What happens when you invite God to search your heart?

    This Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:19–24 is a gentle space to pause, listen, and open yourself to God's loving guidance. Using the Lectio Divina method, we’ll reflect on David’s vulnerable prayer and ask God to show us what in our lives isn’t aligned with His heart.

    Entire Meditation Text:
    Psalm 139:19–24 (NLT)
    19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
    Get out of my life, you murderers!
    20 They blaspheme you;
    your enemies misuse your name.
    21 O LORD, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
    Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
    22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
    for your enemies are my enemies.
    23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
    24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
    and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

  • Wonderfully Made & Deeply Loved | Meditation Psalm 139:13–18
    Jul 21 2025

    What if you truly believed your body was a wonder?

    In this Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:13–18, we slow down and reflect on the intentional care God took in creating you. Using the Lectio Divina method, this peaceful and prayerful practice invites you to marvel at the intricate design of your body and the depth of God’s love for you.

    For many of us, our relationship with our bodies is complicated—whether because of how they look, how they’re aging, or how they’re affected by illness or pain. But these verses remind us of a deeper truth:
    You are wonderfully made.
    You are deeply loved.
    And God is still with you.

    In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
    • Thank God for the wonder of your physical body
    • Reflect on what it means to be created with care and purpose
    • Rest in the assurance that you are fully known and fully loved

    Entire Meditation Text:
    Psalm 139:13–18 (NLT)
    13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body
    and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
    14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
    Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
    15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion,
    as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
    16 You saw me before I was born.
    Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
    Every moment was laid out
    before a single day had passed.
    17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
    They cannot be numbered!
    18 I can’t even count them;
    they outnumber the grains of sand!
    And when I wake up,
    you are still with me!

    Jul 14 2025

    When was the last time you felt far from God?

    In this Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:7–12, we pause to remember the comforting truth: there is nowhere we can go to escape God’s presence. Using the Lectio Divina method, we’ll reflect on the assurance that—even in the darkest seasons—God is near.

    Whether you’re walking through silence, struggling with doubt, or simply longing for a reminder that you’re not alone, this episode offers a quiet invitation to rest in God’s nearness.

    In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
    • Reflect on a time when God felt distant—and how He might’ve been nearer than you knew
    • Acknowledge your present need for His presence and strength
    • Rest in the promise that even darkness is not dark to God

    Entire Meditation Text:
    Psalm 139:7–12 (NLT)
    7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
    I can never get away from your presence!
    8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
    if I go down to the grave, you are there.
    9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
    10 even there your hand will guide me,
    and your strength will support me.
    11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
    and the light around me to become night—
    12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
    To you the night shines as bright as day.
    Darkness and light are the same to you.
