And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

How would you describe your faith journey? Is it a well-established fire? Is it warming? Comforting? Does it push away darkness? Or is merely a spark? Not quite yet a flame? Hardly casting a shadow. These guided audio meditations will help recognize a spark from an encounter with God. And watch the spark turn to flame. Pushing out fear and darkness.
We think of the word thanksgiving as a noun, but it can also be a verb. The theme of these guided audio meditations is thanksgiving. The first will help you be mindful of ways to make thanksgiving a verb by offering words of praise. The second meditation will guide you towards the gates of God with thanksgiving. And finally, a reflection to be thankful for helpful instruction from the Lord.
Do you ever lose hope? Perhaps feeling unappreciated or undervalued by the world? The core of these guided meditations is hope. I pray these reflections will help you rediscover your faith and hope to follow the righteous path. Find your identity by being a servant of Christ and not a servant to the world. Remember, you are blessed and favored in the eyes of God. The only eyes that matter.
