On today’s encore podcast, host Cindy Helton leads us through a meditation on Psalm 139. If you’re feeling a little unsettled, anxious or just need a few minutes of quiet, this is a place where your soul can breathe. As you meditate upon this timeless Psalm, pay attention to the pronouns 'I', 'Me', and 'My.' Embrace how your Heavenly Father sees, knows, understands, and watches over you personally. Scripture Reading taken from Psalm 139 NLT Quote: By Bishop Michael Curry, Love Is the Way "Everybody is God’s somebody. I’ve come to see that the call of God, the love that bids us welcome, is always a call to become the true you…someone made in the image of God, deserving of and receiving love. It’s about discovering your true self—the self that looks like God."

Today’s meditation gives space to consider some areas and things that might need to be released in this season. Like nature, there are various seasons in our lives - natural seasons of the calendar, spiritual seasons, age related seasons, and seasons of growing, change, and letting go.
"For everything there is a season. A time to let go." Ecclesiastes 3:5
Scripture Reference - “But forget all that — it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. My people will be refreshed. Because you are precious to me. You are honored, and I love you." (Taken from Isaiah 43 NLT)
“Forget about what’s happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.” Isaiah 43:18 The Message

Today’s soul care meditation focuses on Emotional Awareness. Often we don’t give ourselves permission to feel deeply or take the time to be curious about our feelings. This meditation will help give you space and permission to become more aware of your feelings in the loving Presence of God.

This meditation focuses being present with yourself and with God through the awareness of your breath. One of the easiest and most natural ways to be present in the current moment is to pay attention to your breathing.

An invitation of Returning - A Journey through Lent
During this season of Lent, you’re invited to join The Daily Still Podcast each Monday for a Journey of Returning to God through meditation and personal reflection. We will offer six meditations that correspond with the six weeks of Lent.
A great place to start this journey, is to ask yourself:Where do I feel distant from God?
What practices will deepen the love of God in me?
Scripture Reference: “‘And yet even now,’ says the Lord, ‘return to me with all your heart.”’ - Joel 2:12-13 NLT

Today, as we complete Season 7 of The Daily Still Podcast, we offer you space to ponder and rediscover Christ’s presence in your life as we reflect upon our continuing journey of faith.
In Luke 24 we read the story of two disciples walking along the road together discussing Jesus’ death and questioning what they believed. Then a divine encounter occurs. Jesus appears and begins walking with them, but they don’t know who he is. In this story, we are reminded that Jesus walks with us in our doubts too.
If Jesus was to join you on the road, what questions would you have for Him?
We invite you to find a quiet place, as you imagine walking down the street with Jesus, discussing your faith and questions.
"Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he walked with us on the road?" Luke 24:32 NLT
"Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life." Isaiah 55:3 NLT
May you walk through each day with your eyes and ears wide open to Divine encounters on your journey.

In the Church calendar, the time from the Monday after Pentecost until the first Sunday of Advent is called ordinary time. We can look at this season as a time of living out our faith in the ordinary or routine moments of life.
Today we look at a familiar story in Mark 16 where three women are going to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body. An angel greets them saying, “You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth. He isn’t here. He is risen from the dead! Now go and tell his disciples… including Peter.” The special mention of “Peter” by name is so important. In the ordinary days that followed, perhaps the disciples doubted that Peter, or any of them, could still be called disciples after denying and doubting Jesus.
In living out our faith in ordinary and routine days, we will face doubt. But there’s this beautiful invitation inviting us back into relationship with the One who pursues us on our pathway of faith.

This week we come together as a faith community to focus on “Pentecost and The Breath of God” with a favorite encore guest meditation by our friend, Olly Ryder, from Plymouth, England. Olly is an Anglican priest and church planter. Olly shares in his meditation that scripture tells us the breath or wind of God is a recurring picture of God’s Presence with us, through the Holy Spirit. In Genesis, God’s Spirit hovers over creation itself and God’s breath brings life into Adam. And the New Testament tells us God’s Spirit rests on Jesus throughout His life and ministry. The wind of God empowers the Church from the day of Pentecost. And it’s God’s breath that is available today to give life to you, and to me. We can be assured, when we invite God to fill us…He does. Where has the air in the room of your soul gone stale? Where do you need the fresh wind of God’s Spirit to refresh you? Breathe in Spiritual Air with each physical breath you take. Let the wind of God reach the hidden places of your heart. God’s Breath is available every moment of every day to put fresh wind in the sails of our souls. Prayer: Breath of God, Holy Spirit, come breathe on us we pray. Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I am sending you. And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” John 20:21-22
