Christian Meditation: What Are The Benefits?

ChangingYour Thoughts and Mindset through Christian Meditation

An open book with the page title "renewing the mind" showing. Showing how practicing christian meditation and mindfulness can transform you by the renewing of the mind.

“Be transformed by the renewing of the mind” (Romans 12:2)

Christian meditation goes beyond merely reading Bible verses—it’s about immersing yourself in God’s Word and allowing it to transform your mind and heart. By meditating on a single word or verse, you can deeply reflect on its meaning, speak it aloud, and let it create new pathways in your brain. The Word of God is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), far more powerful than positive thinking alone. Just a few minutes of dedicated meditation each day can fill you with hope and encouragement, helping you live a Spirit-filled life of victory in the Lord and enjoy greater intimacy with your Creator.

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes.” (Romans 12:2 TPT)

“What delight comes to the one who follows God’s ways! He won’t walk in step with the wicked, nor share the sinner’s way, nor be found sitting in the scorner’s seat. His passion is to remain true to the Word of ‘I AM,’ meditating day and night on the true revelation of light.” (Psalm 1:1-2 TPT)

Reduce Stress & Anxiety with Christian Meditation

Meditating on God’s promises can significantly reduce stress and anxiety. The Bible’s messages of peace and hope remind us that God is in control. While meditation might not change your circumstances, it can transform your attitude towards them. Through daily meditation, you can tap into God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guard your heart and mind against worldly worries.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7)

As you invite more of His presence into your life, you will experience increased joy and peace.

“In Your presence there is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11)

“Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17)

Increase Your Peace and Comfort through Christian Meditation

A woman sitting on grass looking out to the open with the sea in front of her meditating on the word of God and enjoying the presence of God. She's feeling peace and comfort through her practice of christian meditation and mindfulness.

Being a Christian doesn’t shield you from life’s challenges. Jesus didn’t promise an easy life, but Christian meditation offers comfort during times of sadness and grief. No matter the wilderness you’re navigating, connecting with God through meditation can provide solace. These resources are especially valuable during dark seasons when you struggle to pray or feel distant from God. Even in your darkest moments, remember that God is close to the brokenhearted and will rescue those whose spirits are crushed.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” (Psalm 34:18)

Guard Your Mind from Negative Thoughts and Switch to Positive Thoughts

“We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:15)

Christian meditation helps you cultivate a righteous mindset and resist sinful habits that begin in the mind. By focusing on Scripture, you can train your thoughts to be true, honorable, and pure, replacing destructive patterns with constructive ones. Remember, we are in a spiritual battle. Satan seeks to destroy you through lies and negative thoughts, but by meditating on God’s Word, you equip yourself with the armor of God, ready to stand firm against the enemy.

There is also a spiritual war that we are in. Satan hates you and wants to steal, kill and destroy you, your joy, your relationships and everything about you. He will most often do that by whispering lies and negative thoughts over and over again. Until they begin to take root and become a stronghold in your life. Then it is much easier fo the enemy to influence yo u with his demons like spirit of anxiety and fear. So we cannot be passive. We cannot just complain and remain. We must actively put the whole armor of God on daily and not only be on defence with the shield of faith but also be on offence with the sword of the spirit, which is the word of Gods. What better way to really get the word of God IN you so that you can bring out that sword whenever necessary than to meditate on His word in this way.

“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.” (Joshua 1:8)

My Story

F.A.Q.

Still not sure?

What if I can’t feel any difference at all?

Like anything, sometimes things can take time. But know and believe that the word of God is living and active. That is has power to change us from within. Even if you don’t feel anything, the truth remains. We don’t live by feelings but by faith. We stand on the foundation of truth in the bible. So be absolutely confident in the knowledge that even if you don’t FEEL something, that it IS making a difference. Eventually you will begin to see the fruit in your life.

What if I don’t have time?

Do you have time to brush your teeth? Do you have time to eat at least one meal a day? We have no problem taking care of our bodies even at it’s minimum. But we so easily neglect our spirits. Just like how our bodies get hungry, our soul and our spirit does too. You are going to feed it one way or another as it either drives you to do online shopping or binge watch Netflix with a bag of chips. You WILL end up putting the time in trying to spiritually “feed” your self in someway. So it is not a question of whether you have time or not but rather, what is your priority? Do you want to nourish your self spiritually with the good things of God that actually bears good fruit in your life? Or with the things that will only get you further in to bondage to that thing increasing your emptiness.

What if I can’t find a quiet place?

Don’t worry I’ve been there and I know what it’s like to constantly have screaming children around you and you just can’t seem to get any peace and quiet at all. This is where you need to think ahead and get creative with the ways in which you can carve out some peace and quite. e.g. set up some craft you know your kids will love and just say you’re going to the toilet and just disappear for 10 minutes in the toilet with your headphones in as you do one of our guided videos perhaps. Or you might choose to wake up earlier than usual BEFORE anyone in the house is awake to carve out that time. God makes a way where there is no way. Pray and ask Him to help you create these moments of peace and quite in your every day life. Fight for it like your life depends on it as the devil will do anything and everything he can to rob you of this time. Because he knows just how powerful this time will be for you.

What if I can’t find the right video for me?

Remember that these videos are just a guide to help you with your quiet time. This is not the be all and the end all. It is not a replacement of the bible or God him self. Be confident that He will come and meet you where you are at. As you approach Him with an open heart and with open arms, he may just surprise you and fill you in other ways you never knew how. These videos are just to help you get started in your time with God. So if you can’t find the right fit or the right topic, just take it as a guide and create your own time with Him.

Also, please DO leave me a message and tell me what kind of video you would like me to make. That will give me ideas and also motivate me to keep going! Feel free to give a donation too while you’re at it so that we can keep this going! lol

What if I keep falling asleep?

Don’t beat your self up. It’s quite natural to feel sleepy after doing some of these breathing exercises. Perhaps if you’re in bed and you’re going to sleep anyway then it’s no big deal. But if it is a repetitive issue every time you go to spend time and it bothers you, then perhaps you need to change the setting of your practice (different room, posture, time of the day, light room etc).

It may also be a spiritual war that you’re in too if you have tried all of the above and it still keeps happening. If that is the case, you can say something like “In the name of Jesus I bind you satan from trying to rob me of my time with Jesus.” and you can get the sword of the spirit out and start quoting lots of verses like “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”, “Greater is He who is in us than He who is in the world” etc. Before long I’m sure you will feel more awake and alert and full of the fire of God.
