The Daily Still - Guided Christian Meditation, Reflection, and Devotionals

On Monday of Holy Week, Jesus tells his disciples – "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, 'May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and it will happen. You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it." - Matthew 21:21-22

Jesus suffered so all people, his entire creation, could be set free. Lift up your prayers, in faith, for yourself, your family, your community and the world.

"Save me, O God. I pray to you, O Lord, in the time of your favor; in your great love, O God, answer me with your sure salvation. Answer me, O Lord, out of the goodness of your love; in your great mercy turn to me. Do not hide your face from your servant, answer me quickly, for I am in trouble. Come near and rescue me. I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and all that move in them." - Psalm 69

As you walk with Jesus on his way to the cross, ask Him to help you see His great love and mercy for you more clearly.

Today we offer an encore Palm Sunday Meditation from our Holy Week Series. This meditation focuses on Psalm 121, known as a Psalm of Ascent. These Psalms were sung by Hebrew pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem and possibly while ascending the steps of the Temple. It's remarkable to note, that Jesus and His disciples would have prayed and sung these same scriptures.

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2

"Faith is the gaze of a soul…upon a saving God." - A.W. Tozer

Happy New Year from The Daily Still Podcast! Today's meditation creates some space to refocus as a new year begins. You may want to pause and journal these prompts:

As we begin a brand new year, where do you find yourself? What hopes do you have? What burdens are you carrying? What was life giving for you in the past year? What would you do differently?

Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 NLT, Matthew 11:28-30 The Message Hosted and written by Cindy Helton, Spiritual Director Produced and edited by Soundgood Media

Merry Christmas from The Daily Still! Today's meditation helps prepare our hearts in anticipation of Christ's birth. The stories and scriptures may be familiar, but there is always more to ponder. This meditation focuses on Mary's story and her faithful "yes" to the mystery of God. As you listen, consider with fresh insight the courage of Mary. Consider the fear she must have experienced, the vulnerability and disbelief. Ponder her consent and surrender in saying "yes" to the mystery of the Incarnation. And consider, "Where are you being invited to say 'Yes' to divine appointments in your life?" Find a quiet space, take several deep breaths, perhaps light an advent candle, and become aware of God with you. Scripture references are taken from The Gospel of Luke, Chapter 1 NIV

In today's encore episode host Cindy Helton guides us through a meditation on Psalm 105 TPT. Psalm 105 - God's Wonderful Works, is a call to the people of God to worship and honor Him. Therefore, it is a call to us! As you engage your whole body, soul, mind and spirit in conversation with the Holy One, allow all of your senses to be open to the Divine creative work taking place within you.

Today's encore meditation focuses on Psalm 27 - living in the Presence of God. As you ponder these scriptures, consider the desires and longings of your soul. "The one thing I ask of the Lord—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life." Psalm 27:4 The Architect of all creation is inviting you to take up residence in the Cathedral of His Loving Presence.

This encore meditation focuses on Psalm 3 and trusting God for protection and peace during times of adversity. Psalm 3 reminds us that God's Presence is a protective shield around us. "But in the depths of my heart I truly know that you, Yahweh, have become my Shield; You take me and surround me with yourself. Your glory covers me continually. You lift high my head. I have cried out to you, Yahweh, from your holy presence. You send me a Father's help. Selah." Psalm 3:3-4 TPT
