It’s official; we’re stressed. You can’t look at Facebook, watch TV or listen to the radio without someone peddling an app, pill or book on how to deal with the chaos that’s being thrown at us. Meditation is a popular stress reducer and there’s much information on the soothing effects of emptying the mind to calm the nerves. But what if instead of emptying the mind, we fill it with God’s word?
That’s where meditative prayer comes in. We see a sample of this in the store of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). Mary was sitting at Jesus’ feet and listening, while Martha was distracted with activity. Mary chose the right path and was blessed (right, Mike?).
Meditative Prayer is exactly that…sitting at the feet of Jesus and allowing His word to pour over you. So, carve out 20 minutes, find a quiet place, focus on scripture that calls to you, and give Him time to speak back to you. It’s not easy and will take practice, but the benefits are out of this world.
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever things are of good report, meditate on these things.” Philippians 4:8
