Finding Security in God pt. 2: Meditative Journey through Psalms 37 #187
Imagine finding true peace and fulfillment by placing your trust in a higher power, even when life’s storms rage around you. Join me, Pastor Robert Young, as we embark on a spiritual journey through Psalms 37 in our latest Guided Christian Meditation episode. This is the second installment of our transformative four-part series focused on finding security in God. Together, we begin with a heartfelt prayer from Psalms 51, allowing us to prepare our hearts and minds for the divine presence. Through guided breathing and muscle relaxation, we quiet our bodies to embrace the serenity of worship. As we reflect on Psalms 100 and 8, we lift our voices in praise and thanksgiving, celebrating the greatness of our Heavenly Father. Our meditation explores verses 5 through 40 of Psalms 37, where we draw reassurance from God’s promise of justice and faithfulness, reminding us that the meek and righteous will ultimately inherit the earth and enjoy lasting peace.
Picture yourself walking in peace alongside Jesus, finding solace in the assurance that God is taking care of your world. This episode invites you to nurture a mindset of spiritual peace, grounded in faith, while being fully aware of life’s realities. Listen in daily to saturate your soul with tranquility and divine support. This meditation is designed to deepen your connection with God, reminding you that despite the temporary prosperity of evildoers, God’s justice prevails. Find strength in His unwavering support, and embrace a life imbued with peace and assurance.

Welcome to this week's Guided Christian Meditation. I am Pastor Robert Young and thank you for allowing me to be your guide on this journey. If you're new to Guided Christian Meditation, I suggest you check out Episode 164, Getting Started in Guided Christian Meditation. Episode 164 explains the why and even the science of all of the stages of meditation that we practice. Today's meditation is entitled Finding Security in God, part 2.
Pastor Robert Young:Our scripture is from Psalms, chapter 37, verses 4 through 40. Let's continue our four-part meditation series on Psalms 37. The wisdom in this chapter will speak to our current situation. According to scriptures, God requires us to be completely involved and free from wrongful acts in mind, body and spirit. Confession prepares the heart for being in the presence of Almighty God. Let's repeat the prayer that King David prayed in Psalms, chapter 51, verses 1 through 4. Have mercy upon me, o God, according to thy lovingkindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, blot out my transgressions, wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin, For I acknowledge my transgression and my sin is ever before me.
Pastor Robert Young:Before we start to reflect on Psalms, chapter 37, verses 5 through 40, let's prepare our mind by closing our eyes and taking a deep breath as we invite the presence of God to fill us. Now take a deep breath in for a count of seven. Hold the breath for a count of five and slowly exhale for a count of seven.
Pastor Robert Young:Let's repeat. Take a deep breath in for a count of seven. Hold the breath for a count of five and slowly exhale for a count of seven.
Pastor Robert Young:Now let's prepare our body with muscle relaxation exercises. We will simply tense each muscle group for three seconds and then release the muscle. As always, don't hold your breath for this portion of the meditation. Let's begin with the calf muscles. Lightly tense the calf muscles for a count of three, now release. Moving upward to the hamstring, quads and glutes, lightly tense for three seconds, now release. Moving to the abdominals, chest and back area, lightly tense for three seconds, now release. Finally, moving to the arms and shoulders, lightly tense these muscle groups for three seconds, now release.
Pastor Robert Young:Now we can enter into worship of our Heavenly Father by focusing on Psalms 100, verses 1 through 3, where it tells us to shout for joy to the Lord all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness, come before him with joyful songs. Take a moment to lift up your voice in praise and thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father, who is worthy of all honor and glory. Repeat Psalms 8, verse 9, which says Lord, our Lord,
