1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,120
Even events that start off as 
bad can produce good in the long

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:12,920
run. 
Be easy with attaching judgments

3
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:23,480
and desired outcomes. 
Let go of your expectations and 

4
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,600
allow things to unfold 
naturally, because with God, all

5
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:38,900
things are possible. 
Let's go ahead and get started 

6
00:00:39,540 --> 00:00:42,820
by gently bringing your 
attention to the breath. 

7
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:54,660
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest, and when you're 

8
00:00:54,660 --> 00:01:00,660
ready, let your eyes close like 
the sunsets. 

9
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

10
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,120
The good man does not escape all
troubles. 

11
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,280
He has them too. 
But the Lord helps him, and each

12
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:33,330
and everyone. 
And again, the good man does not

13
00:01:33,330 --> 00:01:37,320
escape all troubles, he has them
too. 

14
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,440
But the Lord helps him in each 
and everyone. 

15
00:01:54,860 --> 00:01:58,740
Now bring your attention to your
breath. 

16
00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:15,930
Just a soft, easy awareness. 
Notice what it feels like as air

17
00:02:15,930 --> 00:02:21,450
passes in through the nose and 
then back out through the mouth.

18
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Let the breath bring life to 
your body. 

19
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Begin to listen to the sound of 
your breath, listening to the 

20
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:18,440
inhale and the exhale. 
On the next exhale, allow the 

21
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,800
breath to relax and become 
natural. 

22
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:38,980
Allow your breath to bring 
renewal to your body. 

23
00:03:42,780 --> 00:03:47,940
You're making space to notice 
God's presence in your life. 

24
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:04,640
When it feels comfortable, bring
your attention to the heartbeat.

25
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,880
Allow that rhythm and stillness 
to enter every part of your 

26
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:48,520
body. 
Feel the presence of God in this

27
00:04:48,520 --> 00:05:07,390
space. 
Gently bring your awareness to 

28
00:05:07,470 --> 00:05:25,270
any sensations you're feeling. 
Just noticing the sensations on 

29
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:41,840
the body. 
Maybe it's the air on the skin 

30
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,320
or the weight of the body in the
chair 

31
00:05:59,370 --> 00:06:05,090
just noticing and welcoming the 
sensations as part of the 

32
00:06:05,090 --> 00:06:22,360
meditation. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

33
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:32,920
the chest as you breathe. 
Follow the breath and notice how

34
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:51,000
it changes your body. 
The inhales expanding the body 

35
00:06:51,640 --> 00:07:00,120
and filling it up with life, and
the exhales relaxing the body, 

36
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:17,550
letting go. 
You don't have to do anything. 

37
00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:27,800
It's natural and effortless. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

38
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,000
You are simply unearthing the 
calm that was already there. 

39
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:55,480
This is a safe place of love and
deep rest. 

40
00:08:06,470 --> 00:08:10,990
Allow your mind to take refuge 
in God. 

41
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Take this verse with you. 
The good man does not escape all

42
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:39,000
troubles, he has them too. 
But the Lord helps him in each 

43
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:56,880
and everyone. 
Gently bring your awareness back

44
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,840
to the feeling of the body. 
Notice the weight of the body on

45
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:08,720
the chair and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open 

46
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:16,000
and take a nice deep breath. 
Notice how your breath changes 

47
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,840
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more in

48
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,440
touch with God. 
We'll see you again next time 

49
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,520
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
