If we’re in a dark valley, we fear—

Will we ever find the other side?

Will life ever feel normal again?

If we aren’t in a dark valley—

We fear we’ll be taken there soon.

The fear of living in pain, loss, and difficulty can be paralyzing.

There is no doubt we will all walk through difficult seasons.

You already have.

It’s a part of living in a fallen world in bodies that are breaking down.

And yet, here you are. You’re still standing. God has seen you through thus far, and he won’t stop here. Let that encourage you.

Let this meditation on Psalm 23 also encourage and remind you that God is good, he is with you, and he will guide you through all the twists and turns of life.

May you lay aside any fears that feel crippling and return your focus to God, who will be faithful to you always.

God is with you. He will never let you go, even when you must walk through a dark valley.

You have nothing to fear.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Psalm 23, NET

1 The Lord is my shepherd,

I lack nothing.

2 He takes me to lush pastures,

he leads me to refreshing water.

3 He restores my strength.

He leads me down the right paths

for the sake of his reputation.

4 Even when I must walk through the darkest valley,

I fear no danger,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff reassure me.

5 You prepare a feast before me

in plain sight of my enemies.

You refresh my head with oil;

my cup is completely full.

6 Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days,

and I will live in the Lord’s house for the rest of my life.

This guided Christian meditation from Philippians 4 will help you release the anxiety and fear you feel about the future of our world.

Dire predictions about world events and the coming US election fill us with fear and confusion.

So much feels out of our control. And with so many voices speaking in, many of them spreading disinformation, how do we even know what to do or how to respond?

It’s easy to get immobilized with fear.

This meditation is not intended to address any political party or ideal.

Instead, it is intended to help us turn back to God, release the fears that are gripping us, and remember that everything will be ok because God holds the future.

In this meditation, we will discuss our call to the impossible task of unity and Scriptures that remind us to pray for, not against, our leaders and potential leaders.

I pray this meditation gives you space to pause, remember, and pray for God’s gracious leading. May it help you release some of the anxiety you feel about the future of our world.

God is with us. He is in control, and therefore, we have nothing to fear.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Philippians 4:4-7, NIV

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Additional Scriptures mentioned in this podcast are:

John 17:20-21, NLT (Part of Jesus’ final prayer to the Father on our behalf.)

I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

1 Timothy 2:1-4, NET

First of all, then, I urge that requests, prayers, intercessions, and thanks be offered on behalf of all people, even for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. Such prayer for all is good and welcomed before God our Savior, since he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Ancient Israel wandered away from God—but God never gave up on them.

They were his called, chosen, and upheld people.

Isaiah’s words were a balm to their wayward souls.

And they are strong words to comfort and encourage us today.

God is with you.

You are his called and chosen son or daughter.

And because of this:

God longs to help you.

God longs to strengthen you.

He is holding you up with his righteous right hand.

And his righteous right hand is stronger than anyone or anything else.

No matter where you find yourself today, let these truths guide you.

You do not need to be afraid because God is on your side.
