MEDITATE WITHIN YOUR HEART
Many things disturb our emotions and there is no peace;
The heart is troubled by many things and we are ill at ease.
The mind is unable to be still and sleep does not come easily;
But Help is on the way if we learn to pray and meditate correctly.
Biblical meditation is not about letting the mind go blank;
It is learning to believe and trust in the Lord’s mighty hand.
The heart must reject anger no matter how we may feel;
The presence of the Lord must become that much more real.
Meditation is to focus on the LORD and His word given;
The heart must learn how it may trust the God of heaven.
The Word of the Lord can produce a calming effect;
The heart, the mind, the soul, the LORD would protect.
Our response to God must be the sacrifice of righteousness;
The challenge is to cultivate a life of meaningful holiness.
Then the heart would learn how to still as a result of meditation;
Every believer can learn how to practise the art of contemplation.
