Cultivate Connection Meditation

If we desire a deeper relationship with God, then what are we doing to cultivate it? Jesus, perhaps the only one who has ever had perfect relationship with the Father said this, “I only do what I see the Father doing. He loves me and includes me in everything He does.” In this resurrection life of ours, how are we eagerly and excitedly coming before our Father? Take a pause this week and brace you...

Are there areas in your life right now where you’re striving to make things happen? This week we’re going to pause and listen closely. Is God saying “Watch Me, and see all that I’m about to do for you.”? As we meditate on Jeremiah 33:6-9 (NASB), here are some of God’s amazing promises we can declare over ourselves. “I will restore your wealth.” “I will cleanse you of your sins.” “Your name will be...

Hope, in our modern day vocabulary misses the mark of its original intent. It is not meant to describe wishful thinking as a way to make ourselves feel good. No, hope is when we allow our minds to become occupied with Heaven. It is something we are meant to do in all circumstances. When we fix our gaze upon Heaven, the hope which fills us cannot be contained. Not only does it satisfy our own needs...

We love comfort. We love doing the things that help bring normalcy and routine, even if those very things are “busy work” and not always fun. There’s a funny catch though, is God calling us out of our normal in order to call us into His? Is God highlighting areas in your life where you are trying to serve like Martha, rather than sit like Mary? If we’re not supposed to experience discomforts in li...

To be rooted and grounded in love, we must immerse ourselves in the love of Christ everyday. - Graham Cooke As God continuously draws us out into His love, we cannot remain where we currently are. Maybe we’re camped out in a field of bitterness or unforgiveness. Take heart! What may seem daunting for us to overcome is easy for Him.  So what are you being drawn out of in order to be drawn...

Even when our soul is depressed and downcast God remains our mountain of strength. As we lament we place our love for God above even the worst circumstances in our lives. How wonderful it is to praise Him in the midst of our sorrows. How much more to praise Him when He delivers us from tragedy! Because He, is our mighty deliverer.  This week weeks meditation is from Psalm 42 (N...

Did you know that God is not a halfway god? When He makes a promise He sees it through to completion. Never does He forsake the works of His own hands. What promises are you holding onto where hope may be fading? Now is the time to press in and be filled with encouragement knowing the faithfulness of our God. This week we finish meditating through Psalm 138:8 (TPT) Become a Patron The Cultivate Co...

Is there an area of your life where you feel distraught, broken, or beaten down? Maybe you feel like you're in a dry spell of a season. Who does God want to be for you during this season? King David in the midst of being hunted down on all sides, proclaimed this of his God, "Through your mighty power I can walk through any devastation. You will keep me alive, reviving me." As we continue meditatin...

When the Israelites wandered the desert God gave them fresh mana everyday. He upheld and sustained them with His provision. His love for us has not changed. Our God who knows everything about us has a fresh word for each of us, every day. His words causes kings to praise His name. What is it that He wants to tell you today? We continue meditating through Psalm 138. This week we read Psalm 138:4-5...

When you call, do you feel God answers? Sometimes we miss it when we expect Him to respond a certain way. Let’s dive into Psalm 138:3 (TPT), coming into His divine presence absent our own agendas as to how He "should" answer. Instead, let your heart open up to experience God as He desires to reveal Himself to you. The Holy Spirit desires to reveal Jesus to us in many creative ways. Discover the un...

How much time do you spend worrying about getting your needs met? Are you suffering from anxious thoughts of not enough? I dare to say that provision may not be the problem. Even with more you will still find yourself worrying. The true problem is not knowing your value, how God sees you.

Are you feeling empty or like you have areas in your life that seem dried up? The bible says we can be like a well-watered garden, a spring that never runs dry. So where is the disconnect? Perhaps a perspective change is needed. What we focus on we make room for. In this weeks meditation we dive into Isaiah 58:9-12 (MSG) opening up keys to having a full life in the emptiest of places. We were made...

Sometimes we feel we are all alone, that God himself has abandoned us. How are we to make sense of these seasons especially when God says “He will never leave us or forsake us.” What if this feeling of being alone is actually an invitation to grow your relationship with God? Join us this week as we meditate on Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NASB & MSG), and take advantage of this opportunity to learn to gro...

Trust is by definition the firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. The problem is that people along life's journey will occasionally let us down. When trust is broken or misused, our pain can hinder our ability to trust again. Not only that, it can affect the way we see God; tainting our ability to trust His faithfulness. Where do you stand with trust i...

You alone restore my courage for you lift  high my head when I bow low in shame. This weeks medi...

When is the last time you thought about the meaning of the word "friend?" I just looked it up myself and learned it describes someone attached to another by affection or esteem; one that is not hostile. So what does a relationship look like when we allow ourselves to feel the affection God has for us? How do we express our affection towards Him? Discover it yourself today as we learn how ever...

We bless you to be confident in the wisdom of knowing your father in heaven is protecting you. This week we are me...
