What is Christian Meditation?

Hi. I’m Bonnie Curry. You may know me as one of the narrators for Abide. It’s where we get to share meditations and prayers and sleep stories and so much more and truly encourage you along your day.

Now, I know that a lot of people—especially Christians—have some concerns about the word “meditation,” because maybe you think it’s all about emptying your mind and I want you to know that is not what it’s about at all.

In fact, with Abide, it’s about filling your mind and your heart God’s Word while you pray and meditate on him. For me, Christian meditation is simply a time to slow down—to breath and relax and truly pray and listen for God’s voice. It’s one of the things I use to draw closer to God, and I find it to be such a gift in this hectic and busy world.

And I hope you will explore it for yourself to find those sleep stories, those prayers, those meditations on the Abide app. We’re reminded in Psalm 1:2, “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on that law he meditates both day and night.”

I truly hope you find peace on the Abide app.
