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?

In this Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:13–18, we slow down and reflect on the intentional care God took in creating you. Using the Lectio Divina method, this peaceful and prayerful practice invites you to marvel at the intricate design of your body and the depth of God’s love for you.

For many of us, our relationship with our bodies is complicated—whether because of how they look, how they’re aging, or how they’re affected by illness or pain. But these verses remind us of a deeper truth:
You are wonderfully made.
You are deeply loved.
And God is still with you.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
• Thank God for the wonder of your physical body
• Reflect on what it means to be created with care and purpose

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!

When was the last time you felt far from God?

In this Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:7–12, we pause to remember the comforting truth: there is nowhere we can go to escape God’s presence. Using the Lectio Divina method, we’ll reflect on the assurance that—even in the darkest seasons—God is near.

Whether you’re walking through silence, struggling with doubt, or simply longing for a reminder that you’re not alone, this episode offers a quiet invitation to rest in God’s nearness.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on a time when God felt distant—and how He might’ve been nearer than you knew

• Rest in the promise that even darkness is not dark to God

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

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.

Scripture Meditation | Lectio Divina | Freedom in Christ | John 8:31–36 (NLT)

Download your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

Have you ever felt stuck in a sin pattern you can’t seem to break?
Or found yourself turning to something that once comforted you… but now it’s become destructive and only leaves you feeling empty?

Jesus knows that these sin patterns promise relief—but only deliver bondage.
And in John 8, He offers something radically different:
Freedom. Real freedom.

Not the freedom to chase our own desires, but the kind of freedom that comes from trusting and following Him.

In this week’s Scripture meditation, we’ll slow down with John 8:31–36 and listen to Jesus’s invitation to follow Him—a path that leads to true freedom.

This is the seventh episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re turning to Scripture to uncover the peace and power that comes from standing on the truth of who God is—and who we are in Him.

In this meditation on Unshakable Freedom, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on what Jesus means by “freedom”
• Name areas where you may not feel free
• Consider how sin or fear may be holding you back
• Confess, trust, and receive the freedom Jesus offers

Whether you’re in a season of struggle or joy, I’m praying this meditation reminds you:
You are free.
Because the Son has set you free.

John 8:31-36, NLT
31 Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. 32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

33 “But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, ‘You will be set free’?”

34 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. 35 A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.

This Scripture Meditation uses Lectio Divina to explore Spirit-led prayer in Romans 8:26-27.

Download your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

Have you ever found yourself at a loss for words to pray?
Too overwhelmed to know what to say?
Too weary to know where to begin?

Romans 8 offers us this beautiful promise: we are not alone in prayer. Even when we can’t find the words, the Holy Spirit is already praying for us—interceding with groans deeper than language, aligning our heartaches and hopes with the will of God.

In this week’s Scripture meditation, we’ll slow down with Romans 8:26–27, allowing this comforting truth to settle into our hearts: You are held in perfect prayer.

This is the sixth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re turning to Scripture to find peace and strength that isn’t rooted in our circumstances—but in God.

In this meditation on Unshakable: Held in Perfect Prayer, you’ll be invited to:
• Identify what you’re currently praying about—or what you want to begin to pray about
• Invite the Spirit to help you know how to pray
• Sit in quiet and allow the Spirit to pray for you
• Rest in the truth that your prayers are not only heard—they are perfectly held

May this meditation strengthen you as you rest in the Spirit’s perfect prayers.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

A Scripture meditation using Lectio Divina. Meditate on how to stand strong in our spiritual battles with Ephesians 6:10, 13–17

Get your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

We all face spiritual battles. Some are loud and obvious. Others are subtle and wear us down over time. In either case, we were never meant to fight in our own strength.

In this week’s Scripture meditation, we reflect on Ephesians 6:10, 13–17, where Paul gives us a powerful reminder: we are called to stand firm, not because we are strong, but because God is.

This isn’t a call to strive harder. It’s a call to be equipped. To recognize our vulnerabilities and take up the armor God provides so we can remain unshakable when the enemy attacks.

This is the fifth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re turning to Scripture to help us rely on God’s strength and remain grounded in His truth.

In this meditation on Unshakable in God’s Power, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on where you may feel vulnerable to spiritual attack
• Notice which piece of God’s armor you may need to strengthen
• Learn what each piece of armor represents and how it helps you stand firm
• Consider one practical step to take today toward walking in God’s strength
• Rest in the truth that you are not alone—God is with you, and He is your strength

Whether you’re in the middle of a battle or simply preparing for one, may this time in God’s Word remind you that His power is more than enough.

10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.

13 Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

A Guided Scripture meditation using Lectio Divina. Christian's become unshakable when we help and support each other.

Get your FREE Unshakable Journal here.

Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey.
In fact, we were created to walk together—to encourage one another, to keep showing up, and to hold tightly to hope, especially when life gets hard.

In this week’s Scripture meditation, we’ll slow down with Hebrews 10:23–25, a passage that calls us to live with faith, love, and spiritual connection. The early believers faced hardship and pressure to turn away from Jesus. The writer of Hebrews reminded them then—as we’re reminded now—that we need each other to stay strong.

This is the fourth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re turning to Scripture to help us stand firm in faith, rely on God’s strength, and find hope in His promises.

In this meditation on Unshakable Together, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on the people who encourage you in your faith
• Ask God to show you someone you can support or encourage
• Honestly name the ways community can be hard or painful
• Consider how God is inviting you to take one step forward in trust
• Rest in the truth that community is one of the main ways God strengthens us

Whether you’re surrounded by community or longing for it, this meditation offers space to bring your heart honestly before God and hear His invitation to keep walking together.
