In this Scripture meditation on Isaiah 43:1–3, 5, we reflect on God’s personal care, protection, and presence in our lives. Through the practice of Lectio Divina, we slow down to hear God speak the comforting truth that He knows us by name and walks with us through every fire, every storm, and every fear.

If you've ever faced uncertainty, fear, or hardship, this meditation is a gentle reminder that God is with you. You are fully known, and still fully loved.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:

• Reflect on what it means to be known by name and held in love
• Name a fear you're carrying and invite God into that place
• Rest in God’s promise of presence and protection

Meditation Passage

Isaiah 43:1–3 & 5, NET

1 Now, this is what the LORD says,
the one who created you, O Jacob,
and formed you, O Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, for I will protect you.
I call you by name, you are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters, I am with you;
when you pass through the streams, they will not overwhelm you.
When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned;
the flames will not harm you.

3 For I am the LORD your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your deliverer.

5 Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.
From the east I will bring your descendants;
from the west I will gather you.

In this guided Scripture meditation on Psalm 56:8–11, you’ll be invited to rest in the truth that God sees your sorrow, hears your cries, and is on your side.

Life doesn’t always feel that way—especially when we’re walking through grief, longing, or fear. But Psalm 56 reminds us that every tear you cry is noticed, collected, and remembered by the God who loves you.

And not only does He see you—He is with you.

Through the practice of Lectio Divina, we’ll reflect on this short but powerful Psalm of trust, written by David in the middle of deep distress. You’ll be guided to:

• Reflect on what sorrow or unmet longing you’re holding today
• Remember that God has not forgotten you—He holds your tears and your future
• Rest in the truth that you are fully known and fully loved

This is a quiet space to be honest with God—and let Him gently meet you in it.

Today’s Meditation Passage:
Psalm 56:8–11, NLT

8 You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.
9 My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help.
This I know: God is on my side!
10 I praise God for what he has promised;
Yes, I praise the LORD for what he has promised.
11 I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?
What can mere mortals do to me?

Entire Meditation Text:
Psalm 139:19–24 (NLT)
19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
Get out of my life, you murderers!
20 They blaspheme you;
your enemies misuse your name.
21 O LORD, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?
Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?
22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred,
for your enemies are my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
