Part Five: Being Really Balanced

Process for Meditation and Psalm

Process for Meditation

1. Take a few moments to be silent and center yourself in the presence of God.

2. Read the Psalm completely through once.

3. Read the Psalm again very slowly verse by verse, leaving at least one minute of silence between verses.

4. After going through the entire Psalm, sit in silence for 3- 5 minutes, asking God to feed your soul with the truths of the Psalm.

5. End the time with a short prayer of thanksgiving.

Psalm 131
1 O LORD, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.

2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.

3 O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time on and forevermore.
