Hi, this is Cindy Helton, your host of the Daily Still Podcast. I invite you to enjoy this encore meditation.

Welcome to the Daily Still podcast, a place to pause. Here we create space to listen for the

whispers of God.

I'm your host Cindy Helton,

and I believe one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves is room to be still.

I hope you'll find this to be a welcoming atmosphere

as we quiet the noise around us and within us.

Studies validate what God's word tells us.

We need silence and solitude.

Your journey to becoming more calm and peaceful

begins as you say yes to God's invitation

to be still and know Him.

This is Season 6, Pondering the Psalms.

Each Monday will release a new Psalm and meditation to focus on for the week.

The Psalms document the lives and events of real communities and ordinary people in the daily of life.

And they contain a myriad of emotions. Praise, prayers, songs, lament, waiting, hope,

Thanksgiving, and so much more. And they teach us how to respond to God's faithful presence in our lives too.

So I invite you to lean in and give God your full undivided attention.

For God is with us always and desires an intimate relationship

with us. Now take several slow, deep breaths. As you engage your whole body, soul, mind, and spirit in conversation with the Holy One,

allow all of your senses to be open to God's creative work taking place within

you. You may be surprised to find that these moments of stillness are the most healing
