Thinking about God in meditation
Hello, boys and girls. Today I want to talk to you about something very special we can do
with our hearts and minds. It is called meditation. That might sound like
a big word, but it is really simple. Meditation is just thinking deeply about
God. We think about Who God is, what He has done, and how much God loves us.
What is meditation on God?
Meditation means we take quiet time to think about God and talk to Him
in our hearts. Meditation is different from just saying prayers quickly. Meditation is like
sitting quietly with God, just as you would sit with your best friend. You can really
listen and share with God.
- Have
you ever thought about how great God’s Love is? God's Love is bigger than the sky
- Have you pondered how Jesus gave His Life for us on the cross?
- Have you ever thought about how the Holy Spirit helps you to be brave and kind?
When we take time to think about these things, we are meditating. Meditation is a holy practice.
Why is meditation important?
- Meditation helps us to feel close to God in our hearts
- Meditation helps us to listen to what God is saying to us
- Meditation helps us grow in love, peace, and faith.
The Bible tells us about meditation
In Psalm 1 verse 2, the Bible tells us: “Blessed is the one who delights in the law of the Lord and
meditates on it day and night.”
This means that people who think about God’s Word are
happy and blessed.
How can we meditate on God?
- Find a quiet place: this could be your room, the church or a peaceful spot in nature
- Choose something to think about: such as a Bible verse, a story about Jesus, or something you learned in the last week
- Close your eyes and be still: let your heart talk to God
- Ask Jesus to be with you: just be with Him quietly
- End with a prayer: thank God for being close to you.
Meditation:
Let us try it now! Close your eyes… and think about Jesus calming the storm on
the sea. (Matthew 8:23-27) Imagine being in that boat. The wind is strong. You are scared. Then Jesus says, “Peace, be still!” and everything is calm. How do you feel?
That is meditation.
Meditation is thinking about God:
So remember: meditation is thinking deeply about God. Meditation is not hard. Meditation is a holy practice. The more we meditate, the more our hearts grow in love for God. Just as you spend time with your best friend, spend time with Jesus through meditation.
Take time to meditate:
Each day this week, take 10 minutes to sit quietly and think in meditation. You may want to think about something Jesus said or did, a Bible story, or something you are thankful for. Then say,
“Jesus, I love You.”
Eventually you may want to meditate for a longer time. Some people meditate regularly for 30 minutes.
