Mindful Christian Meditation Graham Jenkins

Mindful Christian Meditation is a collection of guided meditations that combine mindfulness techniques with Lectio Divina, or "Divine Reading".   Lectio Divina is an ancient scriptural reading practice dating back to the 6th century that involves meditative listening to the formulaic reading of a passage of scripture. Those who listen are encouraged to set aside analysis, and what they “know” already about the passage, seeking instead to open themselves to God’s word, listen with their hearts, and receive it expectantly and passively. God's word read aloud is literally God speaking.   Mindful Christian Meditation aims to use common mindfulness techniques to bring one to a meditative state of mind that is void of the everyday concerns of life and the 24/7 inner monolog of our minds only to then fill it with God's precious word. These sessions are NOT meant to replace personal devotion time spent in prayer and in the scriptures, only to accompany it.      

God's peace to you and your family!   

The reading for this meditation is Proverbs 3:5-8 (ESV):  

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 

6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. 

7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. 

8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.

The reading for this meditation is Romans 5:1-5 (ESV):  1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.  2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.  3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,  4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,  5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

The reading for this meditation is John 3:16-20 (ESV):  

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

The reading for this meditation is Psalm 23:4-6 (ESV):  

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.  

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

The reading for this meditation is 1 Corinthians 10:13-16  

13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 

14 Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.  

15 I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.  

16 The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?
