Welcome to Selah—a sacred pause in the noise of life.
I invite you to find a quiet spot, free from distractions, where you can fully focus on God’s presence.

As we move through this meditation, engage your heart and mind—visualize the scriptures, let the words take root in your soul, and repeat the prayers.

Close your eyes.
 Take a deep breath in…
 Exhale…

"Quiet my heart, Lord. Help me to be fully present with You.
 I rest in the knowledge that You are here, shaping me, molding me, and completing a good work in me."

 I breathe in deeply, letting my heart settle.
 I picture myself standing at a wide-open crossroads—a place where different paths stretch out before me.
 Some roads are busy and noisy, full of hurry and distraction.
 Others are shadowed and uncertain.
 But one path is different.
 It is ancient, quiet, worn smooth by the faithful steps of many who have trusted God before me.

I hear the Lord’s gentle voice:

"Stand at the crossroads and look;
 ask for the ancient paths,
 ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
 and you will find rest for your soul."

I close my eyes and ask:
 "Lord, show me the good way.
 Lead me along the ancient paths where Your peace flows."

I take a deep breath in…
 and slowly breathe out…
 surrendering my own plans, my own striving.

I look down and see my feet stepping onto the ancient path—solid, sure, safe.
 I feel the peace of walking in the way God has prepared for me.


I pray from my heart:

"Father, how often I have rushed ahead without asking for Your way.
 How often I have leaned on my own understanding instead of looking for the ancient paths.
 Today, I stand still at the crossroads.
 I lift my eyes to You.
 I ask, 'Show me the good way.'"

I breathe in deeply...
 I imagine the Spirit of God gently placing His hand on my back, guiding me forward with tenderness and strength.

"You are the Shepherd who leads me beside still waters.
 You are the Counselor who shows me the good way.
 You are the Rest for my weary soul."

I surrender my need to have all the answers.
 I surrender my rush to move faster than Your timing.
 I step forward—one faithful step at a time—into the path You have carved out just for me.

"I trust You to lead me.
 I trust You to give rest to my soul."

 I take another deep breath in...
 As I inhale, I breathe in guidance, peace, and trust.
 As I exhale, I release confusion, striving, and fear.

I center my soul on these truths:

"God shows me the good way."
"I walk in the ancient paths of His wisdom."
"I find rest for my soul in His presence."
"I am never lost when I follow His voice."

Breathe in…
 Hold…
 Breathe out…

"Today, I will walk slowly, faithfully, listening for the whisper of God.
 Today, I will find rest not by rushing ahead, but by walking closely with Him.
 Today, I will choose the good way."

Another deep breath in…
 Hold…
 And exhale slowly, resting in the stillness of His guidance.

"Thank You, Father, for Your patience when I wander.
 Thank You for ancient paths that still lead to life.
 Thank You for giving rest to my soul."

Until next time, I will stay in Your presence and let rest overflow.

 Selah.
