Meditation Writeup

Meditation: Resting in God’s Healing Peace
Find a quiet space and sit comfortably, closing your eyes if it feels right. Take three deep breaths, inviting God’s peace into your heart. Visualize a warm, healing light enveloping your body, symbolizing God’s care. Recall a moment when God brought you comfort—perhaps a kind word or a moment of hope. Whisper, “Thank You, Lord.” Now, imagine placing your medical concerns—test results, fears, uncertainties—into Jesus’ hands. Hear Him say, “My peace I give you” (John 14:27). Feel His calm washing over you. Spend five minutes in silence, resting in His presence. End by praying, “Lord, I entrust my test results to You. Grant me Your peace and healing.” Open your eyes, carrying this peace into your day. Repeat daily during the novena to deepen your trust in God’s care for your health.
