Meditation 4: Stay Intentionally Close to God

Hey there, Faithgineer!

As we journey forward in our #FaithFocusFlow series of mindfulness meditations, let’s focus on the essence of being intentional about staying close to God, even with all that is happening in our daily lives.

This meditation guides you through cultivating moments of awareness and connection with God through observation, meditation, and prayer, all together deepening your relationship with our Father in heaven.

Let’s flow …

Envision yourself moving through your day, intentionally making decisions, and taking actions that align with your vision for your life. See yourself creating space and margin in your day, not just to complete tasks and responsibilities but also for moments of stillness and awareness.

In these moments of stillness and awareness, open your heart and mind to the presence of God. Observe the environment around you, listen for the whispers of Holy Spirit, and open yourself to finding wisdom in stillness.

****

As you actively engage in observation and meditation, be open to perceiving things in new ways. If you feel that your path forward in any particular area of your life is not clear or you have unanswered questions about what to do next, give yourself space to be still for prayer and reflection, and then journal what comes to mind.

See yourself investing quality time reading God’s Word to familiarize yourself with His character, for the more familiar you are with the character of Christ, the more accurately you can discern the voice of Holy Spirit.

****

If something you’ve been praying and petitioning for seems long coming, envision yourself actively being the person you must be to faithfully and responsibly steward what you are asking God to provide.

When you receive a word from the Lord, see yourself embracing it with quick obedience, acting on His instructions, knowing your faithfulness is a testament to God’s guidance and wisdom.

****

Let go of comparisons with others. See yourself being aware that everyone’s journey, including yours, is a unique manifestation of God’s power, grace, and mercy. Use the journeys of those you admire as a testament to God’s power, knowing He can do all things through the power of Holy Spirit who dwells inside of you.

Take a moment to see and be with the vision of your life and work as you want it to be. And, as you take deliberate action in the direction of your dreams, see yourself being intentional in acknowledging the blessings and workings of God in your life as they manifest. Embrace the understanding that you are “blessed for a reason” – and that reason is for God’s glory.

****

As we wind down this meditation, take a deep breath and let yourself know that your journey is divinely guided, and each step you take brings you closer to fulfilling your purpose for God’s glory.

Believe in the power of staying intentionally close to God, and walk with confidence, knowing that your life is a beacon of God’s love and grace.

Allow yourself to flow in this day with a heart full of faith and a spirit aligned with God’s will. May your journey be blessed and your faith grow stronger each day.
