The Healing Journey: Day One

Thom Gardner's picture

Beloved, I suggest you have your journal handy to enter your reflections and responses from the following meditation which comes from The Healing Journey

Day 1 - The Truth About Fear

“I Am Not Alone”


Quiet yourself in this Truth: My Father is always with me. He will never leave me. (Journal any reflections you may recieve as you rest in the Truth.)  Repeat this truth aloud. Close your eyes and rest a moment in this truth. 

[Jesus said] “…surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20 NIV).

Meditate on this Scripture, saying it to yourself softly over and over again until you can say it with your eyes closed. As you repeat the Scripture, allow yourself to see it with the eyes of your heart. What is the picture you see in your mind’s eye as you repeat the Scripture? (Respond in your journal)

What does the Scripture and the subsequent picture in your mind's eye reveal about the heart of God? (Respond in your journal)

What is the Lord speaking to you personally as you see the truth of this Scripture? Put yourself in the picture of this Scripture in your mind. (Respond in your journal)

From Healing the Wounded Heart: “When we run as far and hard as we can, we learn that the presence of God is already ahead of us and ready to pour out His mercy and grace.” 

Take time to pray, declaring to God what you have seen today. (Write your prayer in your journal) 

Lord, today You said to me: (Summarize your journal entries in a few sentences) 

What was the core Truth revealed to you through today’s meditation?

(Watch throughout the day to see where that Truth becomes personal truth to you and journal your thoughts on this page along with other significant Truths and impressions from your travels with the Lord today.)
