1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
It's pretty common to worry 
about the future. 

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,920
We want things to go a certain 
way, and that's normal. 

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:14,840
We may not always understand the
way things go, but we can trust 

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,320
that God has a plan for our 
lives. 

5
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,960
Whatever chapter you're in, 
remember that your story has a 

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,480
happy ending. 
You are saved by love. 

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,479
Take that with you as you go 
about your day. 

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:43,920
OK, let's begin by consciously 
relaxing the body and when 

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,720
you're ready, allow your eyes to
slowly close. 

10
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:59,240
As your body begins to settle, 
take a moment to consider this 

11
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,319
verse. 
For I know the plans I have for 

12
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:12,000
you, they are plans for good and
not for evil, to give you a 

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:26,110
future and a hope. 
And again for I know the plans I

14
00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:31,670
have for you, they are plans for
good and not for evil. 

15
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:54,570
Give you a future and a hope. 
With an easy awareness. 

16
00:01:55,770 --> 00:01:59,210
Bring your attention to the 
space in the room. 

17
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:11,980
Just noticing the space with an 
easy curiosity. 

18
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:30,400
Notice your place in the room. 
Feel the weight of your body in 

19
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:40,380
the chair. 
Feel the air on your skin. 

20
00:02:46,570 --> 00:02:49,210
Listen to the sounds in the 
room. 

21
00:02:53,010 --> 00:02:56,970
Maybe it's quiet in the room, 
maybe it's not. 

22
00:02:58,490 --> 00:03:13,880
Both are OK. 
You're just listening and 

23
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:25,360
welcoming the sounds as part of 
the exercise, not wishing to 

24
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:31,640
change the sounds, just 
accepting the sounds as they are

25
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:49,120
when it feels natural. 
Slowly bring your awareness to 

26
00:03:49,120 --> 00:04:00,080
the breath. 
Allow your breath to be a 

27
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,520
reminder to stay in this present
moment. 

28
00:04:12,570 --> 00:04:18,290
If your mind begins to wander, 
you can always come back to the 

29
00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:37,000
feeling of the breath. 
Relax and let your body honor 

30
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:42,920
the natural calm that only comes
from the presence of a loving 

31
00:04:42,920 --> 00:05:01,890
God. 
With ease, bring your attention 

32
00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:17,280
to the breath. 
Take a few nice deep breaths, 

33
00:05:23,170 --> 00:05:27,090
make them feel easy and 
effortless. 

34
00:05:43,180 --> 00:05:52,300
Feel life enter your body as you
breathe in and then release your

35
00:05:52,300 --> 00:06:18,800
tension as you breathe out. 
Inhale, feel how the body 

36
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:28,840
expands, then slowly exhale, 
feeling the body fall. 

37
00:06:41,020 --> 00:06:48,380
Feel the air as it travels in 
through the nose and follow the 

38
00:06:48,380 --> 00:07:01,560
air back out through the mouth. 
Allow each breath to soften the 

39
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:13,100
chest and relax the shoulders. 
Begin to scan the body from the 

40
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:21,020
head to the toe, relaxing the 
body piece by piece. 

41
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:49,710
There's no way to do this wrong.
And now, for a few moments, 

42
00:07:51,030 --> 00:07:54,950
allow your mind to do what it 
wants to do. 

43
00:07:58,310 --> 00:08:06,350
If it wants to think then let it
think, and if it wants to rest 

44
00:08:07,710 --> 00:08:27,360
then let it rest. 
Take this verse with you for I 

45
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,840
know the plans I have for you. 
They are plans for good and not 

46
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,320
for evil. 
To give you a future and a hope.

47
00:08:50,290 --> 00:08:57,610
Allow your awareness to slowly 
come back to your body and when 

48
00:08:57,610 --> 00:09:02,320
it feels natural, begin to open 
your eyes. 

49
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Sit back in your chair. 
Maybe you want to stretch a 

50
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320
little bit. 
Do whatever feels good. 

51
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,400
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

52
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,480
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

53
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,560
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
