           Part Four:
          Being Real With Others 
      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
              122 
          1
          I was glad when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the 
        LORD!"  
        2
            Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem.  
        3
            Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together.  
        4
            To it the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for 
    Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.  
        5
            For there the thrones for judgment were set up, the thrones of the 
    house of David.  
        6
            Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love
            you.  
        7
            Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers."  
        8
            For the sake of my relatives and friends I will say, "Peace
            be within 
        you."  
        9
            For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
