Beginner's 2 Minute Meditation

For rest, God offers inspiration from His Word.  The beginning of Psalm 23 is used as prayer language inspiration.  Jesus says He is the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep (his people), John 10:11.  There are many reasons God calls his people sheep.  A couple reasons include God knowing His people easily go astray and and need guidance like sheep need guidance.  His people need help finding soul rest because they are very anxious by nature, just like sheep.  They need protection from predators the way sheep need protection.  God’s people feel alone without God’s help.  They need assurances of the Good Shepherd’s care and protection.  Prayer invites God’s presence for that supernatural assurance.  Jesus is the gateway into God’s supernatural life.

The 2 minute video prayer exercise below is meant to help you pray Psalm 23:1-4.  Just repeat the simple phrases as led in the video to learn some beginning prayer language that invites Jesus’ merciful help..  

Remember to breathe deeply throughout, don’t hold your breath.  No need to rush.  Gently repeat the prayer phrases and rest in His presence.  Let God’s promises renew your mind as you pray a few of them contained in this guided meditation.  May your heart be revived and a new language come from within, as you talk with God.  Blessings!
