My Go-To Mantra
God is with me.
Jesus loves me.
The Holy Spirit guides me.
As meditation goes, it's often difficult to just sit, breathe and enjoy the silence. So I have this "go-to" mantra that works for me. It reminds me that I'm not in this world alone, that I am truly loved and that there is a purpose for my existence. The guidance leads me to act from my highest self, which is connected to a Holy God. I am holy…I know this because Christ died for me and since I accepted him as my savior, I am free from sin – holy and blameless in his sight. Colossians 1:22 "he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him…"
I know I'm not perfect; but I am obligated to represent Christ as a holy person. So I stay as connected as I can to God through Christ and the Holy Spirit to feel worthy of this honor of being in invited into God's family. Not everyone accepts this invitation.
God is with me means that God is ever present. I need look no further than my next breath to realize that I am being breathed by the force that permeates nature and I credit this force to a loving God.
As history has shown, a man named Jesus, who claimed to be the great "I am", died on the cross as a sacrifice for me. He was thinking of me on that cross as he said, "Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." He was speaking to a confessed sinner, one who represents potentially all humans on earth. Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so.
Because of this knowledge that I have that he loves me, I can be confident of my worth in God's eyes and I don't have to settle for less than what he has for me on this earth. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord; plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future."
The Holy Spirit guides me. The Holy Spirit was committed to all believers once they accept Jesus. The Holy Spirit (like Jesus) has the same attributes as God, but is a person who inhabits my body and brain to be my conscience and my navigator. I completely trust the Spirit. When I am confused or need further help in figuring out life, I confide in those whom I trust are also connected to this Spirit. Not everyone believes in a Spirit. I choose to believe.
So my hope for you in this mantra, is to be able to recognize this Spirit in your life as the one who loves you no matter what and is ready to hold your hand through life. It's a pretty powerful mantra and even if you aren't a "believer", try this mantra on and see if you feel the invitation from Christ to let him be your guru!
Sit quietly for 5-10 minutes and repeat over and over, "God is with me. Jesus loves me. The Holy Spirit guides me." Let these prayers permeate your consciousness and see what happens. It certainly won't hurt you – and may even inspire you to see the greatness in you that God sees.
A great essential oil to use with this meditation is Frankincense – The Oil of Truth. Frankincense has been used for centuries and was given to baby Jesus as a gift along with Myrhh and Gold.
