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 you can give to yourself is room to be still.

Stillness births transformation, a process that cannot be rushed.

How that looks is different for every one of us, yet it's holy space where change occurs

slowly as we intentionally look within and surrender

to our maker.

To be taught and encouraged, loved and strengthened, and guided by the shepherd of our souls.

There is no one way of entering into Christian meditation,

but may I suggest finding a quiet space and comfortable position as you quiet your thoughts,

take several slow, deep breaths, and become fully present and open to the work of the Holy Spirit.

Now let's settle in and begin as you listen for God's whispers and feel his smile upon you.

I have calmed and quieted my soul.

Psalm 131, 2. We must quiet our souls in order to be a witness to holy transformation.

To become aware of the new things God is creating in us, we must calm the noise around us.

Continue paying attention to your breathing as you take a moment to pause, reflect, and

tend to your innermost life.

What are you feeling in your body at this moment? What thoughts are running through your mind?

What is the condition of your soul? Simply be present with God as you are. In this quiet space, the Spirit softly teaches and molds us into more of who we are created to be,

our truest identity. We get to choose what guides our thoughts and our hearts. When we allow God to speak and we tune out the other voices and distractions in our daily lives,

our hearts and minds are open to experience truth and rest.

In what area of your life are you feeling the need to be taught or guided?
