A Mindfulness and Meditation to Envision God With You in This Moment

Summary:

This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body, refocus your mind, and to re-imagine and re-narrate your life to a truer reality. I’m Dave Cover. I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God’s presence through biblically guided imagination.

Psalms 63:6 (ESV) The ancient King David writes…

“…I remember (“mindful of”) you upon my bed,

and meditate on you ...”


So what this is telling us is that “mindfulness” and “meditation” are ancient biblical disciplines that God’s people have been practicing for thousands of years.


John Mark Comer (The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry)

“Worship and joy start with the capacity to turn our minds’ attention toward the God who is always with us in the now.”


Envisioning God being with us and in us is a kind of seeing with what Paul calls “the eyes of our heart“ in Ephesians 1:18


God is present with you right now in this moment. The Spirit of the God who created this universe and gives all living things their life is in your body right now. “…Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you” (1 Cor 6:19).


“Worship and joy start with the capacity to turn our minds’ attention toward the God who is always with us in the now.”
