604 God Gives Eternal Gifts,  A Guided Christian Meditation on Hebrews 1:10-12 with the Recenter With Christ app  

The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in your life and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ. 

Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.

Get into a place where you can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tensing or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.
 
Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:
 
Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate.

Scripture for Meditation

NIV

10 He also says,
“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
    and the heavens are the work of your hands. 
11 They will perish, but you remain;
    they will all wear out like a garment. 
12  You will roll them up like a robe;
    like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,
    and your years will never end.”
NKJV
10 And:
“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 They will perish, but You remain;
And they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up,
And they will be changed.
But You are the same,
And Your years will not fail.”
Meditation:

God takes an eternal view of things. He takes an eternal view of life and afterlife. In the economy of God the baby born at Christmas is the same being who would go to Golgotha and rise again from the Tomb. The same being who was born of a mother is the same to raise multille people from death. Our human minds struggle to understand. 

I remember once year for Christmas I wanted a certain present and J got something else. I remember being sad about it. All these years later I recognize that the gift never mattered and I am embarrassed that I had such a limited view of gifts. What was far more valuable to me right now is that I was loved and cared for and instilled with values that continue to bless me.

Our human minds can easily be confined and limited. We can feel that our current moment is the only real one, yet God knows us as we are now and for the rest of our existence. God knows what is eternally beneficial for us and knows how to give it to us. But we must learn to truly trust in Him as our God. 

Meditation of Prayer:

Pray as directed by the Spirit.

Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.

Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm:

I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.
