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 slowly, releasing the tension I’ve been holding.
 I picture myself in the middle of a storm—wind swirling, waves rising, life feeling uncertain.
 Yet right in the center of the chaos, there is a place of peace.
 It is a shelter—a refuge. Strong. Unshakable. Safe.
 And inside, I find God waiting for me.

His presence is calm and steady.
 His eyes meet mine with compassion and strength.
 And I hear His voice:
 â€śGod is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
(Psalm 46:1)

I breathe in His nearness.
 I breathe out fear and anxiety.
 I let the truth anchor me: God is not far away.
 He is ever-present—here with me, right now, in this moment.

 I speak to God from the depth of my soul:
 "Lord, You are my refuge when life feels too heavy.
 You are my strength when I feel weak.
 You are not a distant God.
 You are present. Attentive. Right here."

I take another breath and imagine His hands covering me—like a shield, like a strong wall that cannot be shaken.
 When trouble comes, I do not stand alone.
 I am surrounded by the strength of the Almighty.

"You are my protection.
 You are my provider.
 You are my ever-present help when I don’t know what to do."

I no longer need to run in panic.
 I run to God, my safe place.
 He holds me in peace.
 He shelters me in love.
 He strengthens me with His Spirit.

 I take another deep breath in...
 As I inhale, I breathe in safety, strength, and trust.
 As I exhale, I release panic, fear, and helplessness.

I anchor my soul in these truths:
 "God is my refuge."
 "God is my strength."
 "He is with me in every storm."
 "He is my ever-present help in trouble."

Breathe in…
 Hold…
 Breathe out…

"Today, I will take refuge in God, not in fear.
 Today, I will draw strength from His presence, not my own power.
 Today, I will walk through difficulty knowing I am not alone."

Another deep breath in…
 Hold…
 Exhale slowly, resting in the security of God’s faithful love.

"Thank You, Father, for being my safe place.
 When everything feels uncertain, You remain constant.
 You are my refuge and my strength—my ever-present help in trouble."

 Thank You, Father, for this moment to pause and rest in Your Word.
 I remember that Selah is an invitation—to stop, reflect, and be strengthened in Your presence.
 Through stillness, scripture, and strength, I find the hope I need.
 Until next time, I will stay in Your presence and let hope overflow.
 Selah.
