Biblical meditation It's a period of time set aside to contemplate the Lord, listen to Him and allow Him to permeate our spirits. Meditation is of immense value if we are to listen accurately to God. It is the key to our spiritual growth. Meditation will take time—occasionally as little as five minutes but often 30 minutes or an hour. IF you don't prioritize time with God as you should, ask God to search your heart for the reason why. Then pray, asking God to remove that barrier. God wants you alone sometimes because God wants your undivided attention. The pressures of our lives begin to dissipate when we are secluded, silent and still before the Lord. Through daily times of meditation, you allow God to love you completely. Nothing will impact your life more than this powerful practice of meditation.
