Part Two: Being Real About Life

Process for Meditation and Psalm

Process for Meditation

1. Take a few moments to be silent and center yourself in the presence of God.

2. Read the Psalm completely through once.

3. Read the Psalm again very slowly verse by verse, leaving at least one minute of silence between verses.

4. After going through the entire Psalm, sit in silence for 3- 5 minutes, asking God to feed your soul with the truths of the Psalm.

5. End the time with a short prayer of thanksgiving.

Psalm 63:1-8

1 O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.

2 So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory.

3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

4 So I will bless you as long as I live; I will lift up my hands and call on your name.

5 My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips

6 when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night;

7 for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.

8 My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me. NRSV
