Cyndi’s Talk: Meditation

She heard about others describing how God speaks to them by going somewhere alone or in nature and praying, but for her, it helps to be quiet and meditate on God’s word. It is good to pray before or after for God to speak to you as well.

Cuyler said that in a college level class he was in many adults could not stay quiet for a full 60 seconds for this exercise, but she wanted to see if we could do this.

She asked for us to be quiet for 60 seconds and meditate on this passage. Meditation doesn’t mean only think of one thing, but knowing your mind will wander, keep redirecting it to that which you are intent on focusing.

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”

-Matthew 6:19-20 (NLT)

Great job, everyone!
