Download or read book Facing Trials Thoughts For Meditation written by Cheryl Zelenka and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We must all weather the winds of adversity. God warns His children that they will have trouble and hardships in life (Jn. 16:33 NIV). The fruit birthed out of personal trials enable us to comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have been given through Christ. Facing Trials: Thoughts For Meditation is a devotional full of hope, encouragement, and instruction. There are two thought provoking devotions for each of the twenty selected topics. Every meditation has a scriptural foundation with plenty of ideas for personal contemplation and reflection. Cheryl Zelenka knows what it is to walk through the "Valley of the Shadow of Death," and live to ascend the mountaintop of God. Her undiagnosed brain tumor caused clinical depression for nearly ten years. Ms. Zelenka challenges each believer to change their negative view of trials and consider them as blessings. It is through trials that we deepen our relationship and dependence on God. No journey in life is without seasons of tears and sorrow, but the "Son" shines in the valley as well as in the desert and mountaintop. With each new trial we experience, our personal Tree of Life buds, flowers, and bears fruit.
Download or read book The Essence of Christian Meditation written by William E. DeWitt and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians? Have you ever been told that meditation is not Christian, or that it has no biblical basis? Do you long for a deeper and more personal relationship with God? Today's Christians have too often misunderstood meditation and its place in their faith tradition. Many of us have heard that meditation belongs only to Buddhism or other Eastern spiritual practices. In this short volume, William E. DeWitt outlines the scriptural basis for meditation and how it allows us to find the Holy Spirit within ourselves. We spend most of our time in our busy minds, but meditation leads us from our minds to our hearts, where Christ lives. Unlike basic meditation, which is often centered on the self, Christian meditation helps us make Christ the center of our lives. It is not a technique, DeWitt emphasizes, but a spiritual discipline. A lifelong Christian, DeWitt discovered later in life that regular meditation adds a rich dimension to his faith, enhancing his understanding of the Bible and deepening his relationship not only with God but with those around him. In simple, straightforward language, he demystifies meditation practice, the greatest experience of God's grace he has ever known besides salvation itself. If you are seeking a more peaceful heart and greater spiritual fulfillment, learn more about what DeWitt calls this gift from God.
Download or read book The Benefits of Trials for Christians written by Michael Kotch and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a Christian counselor, I am often asked why people go through suffering. The Bible actually gives several answers to this question. This book highlights these answers and it is divided into two sections. The first section takes an in-depth look at the question "Can Christians share in the suffering Jesus went through on the cross?" A Bible passage written by the apostle Paul may suggest this. This Bible passage is closely examined in the book, and the implications of this are explored. The second part of this book highlights what the Bible says are the benefits of suffering for Christians. These include following Jesus's example in his suffering; using personal suffering combined with faith as a powerful evangelization tool; suffering develops useful godly traits in Christians; and the Bible tells us that Christians may suffer in this world because of demonic attacks. Additionally, the Bible tells us that Christians are from God and not from this world; therefore, the world may be against us because of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let us consider this on meditation on the Passion: “THERE is no subject of meditation more pleasing to God and more profitable to the soul than the Passion of Jesus Christ. It contains in itself all sweetness. It is the remedy for every evil; the food that nourishes the sou 1. It is continued still in the Blessed Eucharist, and every Mass is a representation and renewal of the Sacred Passion. It is a subject always in season, but especially during the holy time of Lent.“These Meditations deal with some of the main incidents of Our Lord's Sacred Passion. They are intended to be begun on Ash Wednesday, and to end on Holy Saturday. A few verses of Scripture are suggested to be read before each meditation, as furnishing the subject-matter of which it treats.“St. Bonaventure tells us that if we desire to meditate with fruit on the Passion of Jesus Christ, three conditions are necessary. Our meditation must be:“1. Humble,. for the Passion is unlike anything else in the world, it is unfathomable to human reason-a bottomless ocean of mystery. Reason must bow its head and confess its inability to grasp the mysteries that even Faith sees only darkly and through a glass. The story of Christ's humiliation is to the proud a sealed book; they see nothing attractive in it. Christ suffering has no beauty that they should admire Him. I must therefore begin by praying for humility.“2. Full of confidence; since the Passion is the source of all our confidence. I t is the proof of the exceeding love wherewith Christ loved us. How can I fear with the sight before me of Christ suffering for love of me? It is, too,"a medicine for every possible evil, for every temptation, for every sin; whatever the malady of my soul, the Passion of Christ can cure it. At the foot of the cross each mortal wound will be made whole.“3. Persevering: the beauty of the Passion does not appear all at once. The world considers it a degradation, the careless and the indifferent pass it by unmoved; even the faithful Christian scarcely penetrates beneath the surface of that Divine Mystery, unless he prays earnestly and continually to appreciate it. Only gradually and by degrees are we drawn by the sacred attractiveness of the cross.“Before I begin my meditations I must ask God for this spirit of humility, confidence, persistency.”
