Surrounded by God’s Presence | Scripture Meditation on Psalm 139:7–12

When was the last time you felt far from God?

In this Scripture meditation on Psalm 139:7–12, we pause to remember the comforting truth: there is nowhere we can go to escape God’s presence. Using the Lectio Divina method, we’ll reflect on the assurance that—even in the darkest seasons—God is near.

Whether you’re walking through silence, struggling with doubt, or simply longing for a reminder that you’re not alone, this episode offers a quiet invitation to rest in God’s nearness.

In this guided Christian meditation, you’ll be invited to:
• Reflect on a time when God felt distant—and how He might’ve been nearer than you knew
• Acknowledge your present need for His presence and strength
• Rest in the promise that even darkness is not dark to God

Entire Meditation Text:
Psalm 139:7–12 (NLT)
7 I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;
if I go down to the grave, you are there.
9 If I ride the wings of the morning,
if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
and your strength will support me.
11 I could ask the darkness to hide me
and the light around me to become night—
12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
