Enter His Rest: 30-Day Guided Scripture Meditation Devotional
Enter His Rest is a 30-Day Guided Scripture Meditation Devotional to help you be still and rest in God’s presence through Christian meditation. With Christian meditation, we fill our minds with the truths of God’s Word so that we can carry them with us into our daily lives. By meditating on Scripture, we cultivate trust in God, faith in His love and goodness towards us, and awareness of His presence with us.
But if you’ve never tried meditating on Scripture, you might not know how to get started. Where do you begin with a book as immense as the Bible? How do you meditate on a passage of Scripture? And what do you do when your mind wanders?
Following guided meditations is the best way to get started and learn Christian meditation for beginners. Enter His Rest is a Christian meditation devotional to help you learn how to meditate on Scripture, guiding you through various Christian meditation techniques to help you be still and rest with God.
A Guided Christian Meditation Devotional

I have found this devotion so very helpful. I love doing it every morning. I read it alongside my Bible so I can see the full chapter that the verse is from.

Keep up your fantastic work.

“Enter His Rest” presents a much-needed invitation into God’s presence in the midst of a busy and hectic world. Through her carefully crafted introductory sections, Sarah explains the concepts of Christian meditation and mindfulness, making them accessible to both beginners and experienced practitioners.

“Enter His Rest” by Sarah Grace Young has the power to transform your life. The introduction section at the beginning is a wonderful resource which will help the reader gain a better understanding of why meditation is helpful, the “how to” on the actual practice of meditation, and the importance of not making the process too rigid, but being open to the Holy Spirit’s guidance throughout your meditation time.
There is an indescribable depth to the way that Sarah guides the reader through each day’s meditation, encouraging the reader to use their God-given imagination to enhance what it would be like to experience the Word of God, rather than just read about it. Sarah references supplementary Bible passages to help shed more light onto that day’s truth, helping to give it more context and applicability. Each day’s devotional is a slightly different format, ensuring that monotony and predictability never seep into the reader’s experience.
Sarah takes the “work” out of trying to obtain the peace and rest we are so desperate for, reminding the reader that “rest” is already here, because God is already here, we just need to “be with Him” and receive His gift of rest.
~ Bob from Pennsylvania
Despite being retired, I still don’t want to sit and meditate. I am prone to review my day at the end and to ask myself: “What tasks did I successfully accomplish today?” rather than “How did I fellowship with Jesus today?” or “Did I experience God’s presence today?” But Sarah makes coming into God’s presence very accessible.
Because everything about me is anti-meditation, I appreciate Sarah’s step-by-step guidance, as well as her practical tips and suggestions. I appreciate that she draws from “traditional meditation methods in church history” as well as Christian mindfulness techniques. I love the simplicity and straight-forward nature of the writing; despite feeling rich, it feels accessible. I love that it’s a 30-day commitment. That is within reach for many of us.
Sarah invites us into an experience of the presence of Christ rather than a passive experience of reading a prepared devotional.
