In Christian meditation, we are re-aligning ourselves vertically. We're remapping our horizontal realities with a vertical view/perspective. Enabling us to embody that vertical perspective replaces anxiety and tension with a calm confidence.

Listen to the apostle Paul’s prayer in…

Ephesians 3:16 (ESV)

“…That according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being.”

Imagine “the riches of God‘s glory.“ Imagine the “power” of God‘s glory being in you by his Spirit in you. Imagine that power strengthening you by his Spirit in your inner being. Your inner being is the real you. There’s a real you inside you that wants to live in God’s glory, love, goodness, righteousness, joy.

“Power” in the New Testament is almost always associated with overcoming evil. Imagine God‘s power overcoming evil in you — all the ways that evil has been deceiving you and lying to you. Your inner being is being strengthened.

Imagine God’s Spirit in your inner being right now —  with his infinite glory and power and love and Shalom. God‘s Spirit is infinite and abundant. The more God’s Spirit strengthens your inner being with “the riches” of his presence, the more God’s riches are still available to bring life and renewal to your whole being.
