1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,920
Letting go is not the same as 
giving up. 

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,080
Letting go is loosening your 
grip on life and its outcomes. 

3
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,440
By holding on, you're impeding 
the flow of life. 

4
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,440
You may be preventing 
opportunities and growth from 

5
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:36,880
coming into your life. 
Today, as you rest in prayer, 

6
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:43,120
allow yourself to let go and 
receive what God has planned for

7
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:52,630
you. 
OK, let's go ahead and get 

8
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:57,750
started by taking a moment to 
notice your breath. 

9
00:01:01,870 --> 00:01:11,000
Just the rise and the fall of 
the chest, and when you're 

10
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,560
ready, let your eyes close like 
the sunsets. 

11
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,200
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

12
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,560
Trust the Lord completely, and 
don't depend on your own 

13
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:44,920
knowledge. 
And again, trust the Lord 

14
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,760
completely and don't depend on 
your own knowledge. 

15
00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:06,890
And now bring your attention to 
the heartbeat. 

16
00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:14,450
Allow its rhythm to relax the 
body. 

17
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,760
As you begin to relax, bring 
your attention to the weight of 

18
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:43,790
the body. 
Allow the arms and the legs to 

19
00:02:43,790 --> 00:02:52,710
become heavy. 
Allow the face to soften all the

20
00:02:52,710 --> 00:03:00,520
way down through the neck. 
Soften the skin. 

21
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:11,010
Allow the corners of the eyes to
relax. 

22
00:03:15,890 --> 00:03:19,890
Let the shoulders fall away from
the ears. 

23
00:03:26,170 --> 00:03:38,560
Release the elbows. 
Let the wrists and the hands 

24
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:49,520
relax. 
Soften the chest and the 

25
00:03:49,520 --> 00:04:00,860
stomach, release the hips and 
the thighs. 

26
00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:14,620
Relax the calves all the way 
down to the ankles. 

27
00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:29,870
Allow the entire body to let go 
and totally relax. 

28
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:48,040
There's nowhere to go. 
You are exactly where you're 

29
00:04:48,040 --> 00:05:08,100
supposed to be. 
Bring your attention to the 

30
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:20,230
feeling of the breath. 
Let it settle into a natural 

31
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:41,400
rhythm, effortless and easy. 
Notice how good it feels just to

32
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:58,480
breathe 
with each inhale, Let your body 

33
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:09,400
fill up with new life. 
With each exhale, release and 

34
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:25,800
let your body relax. 
Feel your feet on the floor and 

35
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,840
the weight of your body in the 
chair. 

36
00:06:39,810 --> 00:06:51,490
Now gently bring your attention 
to your emotions, just noticing 

37
00:06:51,490 --> 00:06:54,850
the feelings that you brought 
with you today. 

38
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:14,520
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them. 

39
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:34,030
As an observer, 
remember that you can leave 

40
00:07:34,030 --> 00:07:37,190
those feelings right where they 
are. 

41
00:07:46,910 --> 00:07:53,390
Just allow those thoughts to 
bubble up and out. 

42
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,920
Remember, today is a new day 
with new opportunities. 

43
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:33,520
God is working in your life. 
Take this verse with you. 

44
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:41,000
Trust the Lord completely and 
don't depend on your own 

45
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:57,880
knowledge. 
Gently bring your awareness back

46
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,880
to the feeling of the body. 
Notice the weight of the body on

47
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:09,760
the chair and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open 

48
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:17,000
and take a nice deep breath. 
Notice how your breath changes 

49
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,840
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more in

50
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,440
touch with God. 
We'll see you again next time 

51
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,520
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
