Meditation Writeup

Meditation: Resting in God’s Provision
Find a quiet space and sit comfortably. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths, inviting God’s peace. Picture yourself standing before a calm, flowing river, symbolizing God’s abundant provision. As you gaze at the water, recall a time God provided for you—perhaps an unexpected gift, a job, or strength in hardship. Whisper, “Thank You, Lord.” Now, imagine placing your financial worries into a small boat on the river. Name each concern—debt, bills, uncertainty—and watch the boat drift away, carried by God’s care. Hear Jesus say, “Do not worry about your life… your heavenly Father knows what you need” (Matthew 6:25, 32). Feel His peace envelop you. Spend five minutes in silence, resting in this trust. End by praying, “Lord, I surrender my finances to You. Let Your will be done.” Open your eyes, carrying this peace into your day. Repeat daily during the novena to deepen your faith in God’s provision.
