Meditate on what?

You strive to focus inwardly, use meditation and seek self-improvement and yet gain only glimpses of lasting peace.

The discipline of selflessness proposes that you focus outwardly. Instead of meditation, provide mediation. Instead of self-improvement, try to help others improve.

But don't think this giving of yourself is for earning some points. Again, the reward is in the giving and the sacrifice itself.

When it is time to rest, focus on God. Meditate on his glory and power, not yours. God is gracious, forgiving and desires the best for you. His favor can restore you and give you true lasting peace, but not because of your works, but because of His goodness.
