Hello, and welcome to Selah.
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.

Today, we’re meditating on Psalm 28:7 (NIV):
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.”

If you’ve been feeling under pressure, weary, or uncertain of where your help will come from—
 This is your sacred pause.
 This is your moment to remember who fights for you, protects you, and strengthens you.

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

"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 again… slowly, deeply…
 And as I exhale, I see myself standing in an open field.
 Storm clouds are rolling in, and a cold wind brushes against my skin.

In the distance, I see the pressure approaching—
 fear… stress… uncertainty…

But I do not run.
 Because I feel something rising around me.

A great shield—brilliant, glowing with light—surrounds me.
 I am covered. I am protected. I am safe.

As I stand within that shield, I feel something shift inside me.
 Strength begins to rise in my chest—
 not from myself,
 but from the One who stands behind me, beside me, and within me.

"The Lord is my strength and my shield."

My enemies may be real—anxiety, disappointment, fatigue…
 but my Defender is greater.

I breathe in courage…
 I breathe out fear…

"Father, You are my shield.
 When life presses in, You cover me.
 When my heart is weak, You lift me.
 I don’t have to understand everything—
 I just have to trust You.
 So I do."

 You are strong when I am weak.
 You are steady when I am shaken.
 You are my help, and I will not fall."

As I sit within the stillness of Your presence,
 I feel Your warmth surrounding me—
 like a warm, radiant light.

I’m not just protected.
 I’m empowered.
 I’m lifted.
 I’m held.

I picture my heart now—
 Not heavy, but rising.
 Not clenched, but open.
 Not silent, but singing.

"My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him."

"God, You have helped me.
 Even when I didn’t see it—You were working.
 Even when I didn’t feel it—You were near.

Breathe in…
 Joy.
Breathe out…
Gratitude.

I lift my eyes to heaven and whisper,
 "Thank You, God, for being my strength and my shield.
 Thank You for helping me in ways seen and unseen.
 You are my refuge and my praise."

Let’s take a final deep breath together…
 Inhale…
 Hold…
 Exhale slowly…

Let these truths anchor your heart today:

"God is my strength and my shield."
 "My heart trusts in Him."
 "He helps me."
 "I will praise Him with joy."

"Thank You, Lord, for going before me, shielding me, and helping me.
 I walk forward now with joy, because I do not walk alone.
 You are my strength.
 You are my song.
 And I will praise You."

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