Key 4 - Meditation

• Meditation is thinking about Him; opening the door to allow God to speak back.  So both together are like having a conversation with God.  When you pray and meditate, you practice going to God first for all your needs.  You are showing Him that you are trusting Him first with all your problems instead of relying on other things.

• God WANTS you to build a relationship with him, but you need to talk to Him and LISTEN to Him in order to do that.

• Pray first, then read your Bible, then meditate (think about) what you read.  This will help you have powerful conversations with God.

• Also, meditation is about thinking about ALL good things, not just about God and His Word.  When we think about good things, we indirectly think about God.  Philippians 4:8.
