This is probably the first Psalm I learned as a child. Bringing the process of Lectio Divina to it makes it come more alive. Raised questions for me and helped me notice things I hadn't before. Than you. I look forward to listening to another lectio meditation from you. 🙏🏻 Addendum: I have felt drawn to listen to this lectio several times amidst what is happening in my country. We are collectively walking through the valley of the shadow of death here in the U.S. Thank you again for posting this. It helps regulate my nervous system bringing me calm amidst the chaos. 🙏🏻

Absolutely beautiful guidance on how we can nurture a genuine connection with God. One of my intentions for this year was to live more in prayer, but I wasn’t sure what that meant exactly. I now have a path and a practice to deepen my connection and ability to serve God’s will for me. Thank you so much, Br Frederick-James.
