1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,640
One way to bring more light into
your life is to focus on the 

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,520
goodness of God. 
You can meditate on His love or 

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:16,480
His kindness or His forgiveness.
When you turn your thoughts to 

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,360
the goodness of God, it brings 
more hope to your heart. 

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,720
No matter how bad the world 
gets, there's something that is 

6
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:37,480
always good, and that is God. 
Let's begin by loosening the 

7
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:46,840
shoulders and the chest, and 
when you feel ready, just allow 

8
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:56,520
the eyes to slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

9
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,440
verse. 
The Lord is my strength and my 

10
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,040
reason for singing. 
He saved me. 

11
00:01:13,870 --> 00:01:19,590
And again, the Lord is my 
strength and my reason for 

12
00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:24,190
singing. 
He saved me. 

13
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:49,360
In your own time, take a few 
nice deep breaths in through the

14
00:01:49,360 --> 00:02:02,370
nose and out through the mouth. 
Allow the body to let go a 

15
00:02:02,370 --> 00:02:05,690
little bit more with each 
exhale. 

16
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:20,120
Feel the face and the neck 
softening as your body begins to

17
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:31,050
relax. 
Notice how your breath softens 

18
00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:45,620
and relaxes the body. 
Come to that sense of weight in 

19
00:02:45,620 --> 00:02:52,060
the body, allowing the chair to 
hold the body up. 

20
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Relax the arms all the way down 
to the hands. 

21
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Allow the legs to become heavy, 
relaxing all the way down to the

22
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:28,290
toes. 
Feel the muscles softening. 

23
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Allow the natural rhythm of the 
breath to relax the body. 

24
00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:53,510
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest. 

25
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:07,780
Just noticing how good it feels 
just to breathe. 

26
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:27,160
And now, for a moment or two, 
let your awareness be free. 

27
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:48,790
Let it rest. 
As you relax, allow God's 

28
00:04:48,790 --> 00:04:52,710
presence of peace to wash over 
you. 

29
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,240
Let your breath fill your body 
and relax your muscles. 

30
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:30,830
As your breath relaxes your 
body, bring your attention to 

31
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:49,310
the heartbeat. 
Just noticing the quiet rhythm 

32
00:05:49,910 --> 00:06:02,760
of your heartbeat. 
Allow that rhythm and stillness 

33
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:09,880
to calm your mind, to relax your
body. 

34
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:26,560
Let go of any feelings of stress
or worry. 

35
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:57,780
God is taking care of you. 
Allow those feelings to go. 

36
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:21,290
You are safe here 
and if thoughts take you away, 

37
00:07:22,370 --> 00:07:26,690
that's OK. 
Be easy with the thoughts. 

38
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:35,040
Just remember, you can always 
come back to the breath and the 

39
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:53,840
heartbeat. 
Let yourself relax and allow God

40
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:11,080
to speak to your heart. 
Take this verse with you. 

41
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,440
The Lord is my strength and my 
reason for singing. 

42
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:36,320
He saved me. 
Slowly begin to bring your 

43
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:44,120
awareness back to the body. 
Maybe even move your fingers and

44
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,720
toes a little bit. 
When it feels natural, allow 

45
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,240
your eyes to slowly open. 
Take another big deep breath in 

46
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,680
and let it out with a sigh. 
Notice how you feel. 

47
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

48
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,920
We'll see you again to Morrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

49
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:11,440
prayer.
