Where do you keep your most important papers?

Oh, obviously you don't need to tell me that.

But do you have a secret spot to keep your will, your marriage license, maybe birth certificates,

passport, maybe just cherished mementos?

Well imagine having something so valuable that it's locked in Fort Knox, having to navigate

through barbed wire and armed guards, four-foot thick granite walls, all just to get to the

vault hiding behind a 22-ton door.

Well, as secure as that sounds, what you hold in your heart is even more secure.

The theme of this guided audio meditation from Psalm 119 is guarding what we hold most

dear.

I pray this time helps you to learn how to find what's most important and hide it in the

impenetrable walls of your heart.

So to begin your meditation, slip into a time to feel safe, a place to feel secure, and

a moment to hide in the presence of God, spirit, and sun.

Start by listening and responding to this prayer from Colossians chapter 3 and response

softly, Lord God, hide your word in my heart.
