Meditation Passage

Isaiah 43:1–3 & 5, NET

1 Now, this is what the LORD says,
the one who created you, O Jacob,
and formed you, O Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, for I will protect you.
I call you by name, you are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you;
when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not harm you.

3 For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your deliverer.

5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
From the east I will bring your descendants;
from the west I will gather you.

In this guided Scripture meditation on Psalm 56:8–11, you’ll be invited to rest in the truth that God sees your sorrow, hears your cries, and is on your side.

Life doesn’t always feel that way—especially when we’re walking through grief, longing, or fear. But Psalm 56 reminds us that every tear you cry is noticed, collected, and remembered by the God who loves you.

And not only does He see you—He is with you.

Through the practice of Lectio Divina, we’ll reflect on this short but powerful Psalm of trust, written by David in the middle of deep distress. You’ll be guided to:

• Reflect on what sorrow or unmet longing you’re holding today
• Remember that God has not forgotten you—He holds your tears and your future
• Rest in the truth that you are fully known and fully loved

This is a quiet space to be honest with God—and let Him gently meet you in it.

Today’s Meditation Passage:
Psalm 56:8–11, NLT

8 You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
9 My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
This I know: God is on my side!
10 I praise God for what he has promised;
Yes, I praise the LORD for what he has promised.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?

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.

What if you truly believed your body was a wonder?

You are wonderfully made.
You are deeply loved.
And God is still with you.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:

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!

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.

What if God already knows your every thought—and still loves you?

In this Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:1–4, we begin our Fully Known, Fully Loved series with a reflection on God’s deep, intimate knowledge of us. Using the Lectio Divina method, we’ll gently meditate on the reality that God knows every word before we speak it, every move before we make it—and none of that scares Him away.

In a world obsessed with self-discovery, these verses remind us of something even more powerful:
Before we try to figure ourselves out…
God already knows.
And His love is unwavering.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on what it means to be fully known by God
• Consider how God sees and understands you with perfect love
• Rest in the truth that His knowledge of you is not threatening—but comforting

Psalm 139:1–6 (NLT)
1 O LORD, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.

and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
4 You know what I am going to say
even before I say it, LORD.
5 You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too great for me to understand!

Scripture Meditation | Lectio Divina | Strength in Weakness | 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NLT)

Download your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

Is there a struggle, a weakness, or a burden you’ve been asking God to take away?
But it’s still there. It feels like it’s lingering, and it’s holding you back.

You’re not alone.
The Apostle Paul felt the same way.

In this passage, Paul shares a deeply personal struggle—his “thorn in the flesh”—and how God responded not by removing it, but by offering a deeper promise:
“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”

In this week’s meditation, we’ll slow down with 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, reflecting on what it means to find unshakable strength not in ourselves but in God.

This is the eighth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re meditating on Scripture that anchors us in God’s truth and helps us stand firm in every season.

In this meditation on Unshakable Strength in Surrender, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on a place in your life where you feel weak or burdened
• Notice what God is saying to you through Paul’s words
• Consider how God might be inviting you to trust Him more
• Rest in the truth that His grace is not only enough—it is abundant

Your weakness is not the end of the story.
It’s the very place where God’s strength is most at work.

Meditation Passage | 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NLT):

7 Even though I have received such wonderful revelations from God. So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.
8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.
9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”
So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
