You're listening to Encounter, a simple daily podcast made possible by listeners like

you.

We hope to help you discover sacred moments in the middle of ordinary days.

And if you would enjoy greater access to even more free meditations, I encourage you

to download the Encountering Peace Mobile App, where all the meditations are free, as

they should be.

It is easy for us to pray for national, or city-wide, or even local church revival, but

do you ever pray for personal revival?

Recovery assumes that the person being revived isn't healthy, but a doctor doesn't restore

a healthy person, but the sick.

Restoration begins with acknowledging your own need for healing, and I suggest that

we all are in constant need of continuing spiritual renewal and refreshment for our souls.

But as your spiritual life ever felt stagnant, as your soul need to be refreshed and revived,

the theme of this meditation from Psalm chapter 19 is soul refreshment.

I pray that it revitalizes you.

I hope it restores you into deeper communion with God.

And I desire that your soul comes away from this time refreshed.

So rest here as we begin.

Just settle here as the Holy Spirit begins to guide your soul to rest.

Continue on now in meditation by finding a place to be quiet and still, a holy refuge

of the divine refreshment.

Posture yourself now with your hands resting open to receive.
