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 take a deep breath in…
 And as I exhale, I see myself standing at the edge of a vast river.
 The waters rush wildly in front of me—cold, deep, and intimidating.

I feel the pull of fear trying to rise in my chest.
 But I also feel a hand slip into mine—steady, warm, strong.
 I know it is the hand of my Father.
 He is with me.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you."

I step forward slowly, into the river.
 The waters swirl around my ankles, my knees, my waist.
 But they do not sweep me away.
 I am held.
 I am anchored.

I breathe in the presence of God surrounding me like a shield.
 I breathe out every fear of drowning, every fear of defeat.

I lift my eyes and see a fire burning in the distance.
 It is fierce, wild, consuming everything in its path.
 Yet I feel no fear.
 Because I hear His promise again:

"When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
 the flames will not set you ablaze."

I take another breath, letting the truth of His Word steady my soul.
 Even in the fire, even in the flood—He is with me.

 I pray from the depth of my heart:

"Father, You are my protector, my anchor, my safe place.
 When the waters rise, You hold me above the waves.
 When the fires rage, You hide me beneath the shadow of Your wings.
 You do not promise a life free of storms—
 but You promise Your presence within every storm."

I breathe in deeply...
 I imagine His hand tightening around mine, steady and sure.
 I take a step further into the river without fear.

"Even here, Lord, even now, You are with me.
 You walk with me through the impossible places.
 You make a way where there is no way.
 I trust You to carry me through."

I envision the fire now—not as a threat, but as a place of refinement.
 I see myself walking through it, surrounded by a shield of light.
 The flames rise, but they do not touch me.
 Not a hair on my head is singed.
 I am kept by His power.
 I am protected by His love.

I whisper into the stillness:
 "You are with me.
 I will not be swept away.
 I will not be consumed.
 You are my faithful God."

 I breathe in deeply again...
 As I breathe in, I receive His courage.
 As I breathe out, I release every fear still clinging to me.

I center my heart on these truths:

"God walks with me through the waters."
"God stands with me in the fire."
"I am not alone. I am not defeated. I am victorious in Him."
"No flood, no flame, no trial can separate me from His love."

Breathe in...
 Hold...
 Breathe out...

"I step forward into today with strength.
 I step forward with peace.
 I am safe in Your hands, Lord."

One more deep breath in...
 Slow, steady breath out...

"Thank You, Father, that You never leave me,
 even when the path leads through deep waters or burning fires.
 You are my deliverer, my strength, and my song.
 Today, I walk with courage because I walk with You."

 Selah.
