"Selah - pause, sit, and allow it to sink into our hearts"

Psalm 3 Encounter: God's Shield, A Warm Glory Blanket

This guided meditation is designed to help you tangibly feel God's protection and peace. Building on the previous teaching episode on Psalm 3, this 5-minute encounter invites you to experience the same safety and surrounding glory that David wrote about while fleeing from Absalom.

Host Kristin Chadwick guides you through an imaginative prayer time where you can viscerally experience what it means to "lie down and sleep like a baby" in God's protection, just as David did even while being hunted. This encounter is designed to help your body calm, trust, and remember that you are safe in His surrounding glory.

Preparation: Find a comfortable spot - your bed, the floor, or couch - somewhere you can rest and surrender

Experience: A guided 5-minute meditation focusing on:

• Experiencing complete safety and surrender in God's presence
• Feeling His surrounding glory like a protective blanket
• Tangibly connecting with the peace David describes in Psalm 3
• Allowing your nervous system to calm and trust

Integration: Time to journal or voice memo your experience as a testimony to remember during anxious or overwhelming moments
