Repeat a sentence or part of a sentence from the Bible out loud many times, then silently many times. Allow its meaning to deepen into feeling; focus on the words until the mind is silent and you experience the truth of the promise of which the text speaks. The shorter the sentence, the better. Possibilities include:
- Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.
- It is I; do not be afraid.
- Abide in me as I abide in you.
- I am with you always.
- In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.
- I will never leave you nor forsake you.
