1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:09,160
Begin by getting comfortable and
when you're ready, allow your 

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:22,690
eyes to slowly close as your 
body begins to relax. 

3
00:00:24,450 --> 00:00:29,530
Allow your awareness to rest 
with this verse and prayer. 

4
00:00:31,970 --> 00:00:37,680
This is my command, be strong 
and courageous. 

5
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:46,600
Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the Lord your God is with 

6
00:00:46,600 --> 00:01:00,520
you wherever you go. 
And again, this is my command, 

7
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:09,600
be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid or discouraged,

8
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,160
for the Lord your God is with 
you wherever you go. 

9
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,960
Bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

10
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:41,920
you in the body. 
Not placing judgement on the 

11
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:53,680
feelings or engaging with them, 
just noticing them, taking note 

12
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,080
of the emotions and then letting
them go. 

13
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:16,260
Begin to notice that deeper 
sense of calm beneath those 

14
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:33,600
emotions. 
Maybe even begin to visualize a 

15
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:41,600
place that feels safe, a place 
where you feel loved and taken 

16
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:55,160
care of. 
This is a place of safety and 

17
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:06,290
acceptance. 
God loves you and wants you to 

18
00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:13,400
feel loved. 
He wants you to feel a sense of 

19
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:33,920
security in Him. 
In this place of safety, begin 

20
00:03:33,920 --> 00:03:46,930
to notice how your body feels, 
consciously relaxing the body 

21
00:03:47,890 --> 00:03:52,170
and allowing God's presence to 
calm your mind. 

22
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:14,120
For a moment or two, relax and 
notice how you feel in this 

23
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:29,190
place. 
If the mind wanders off, that's 

24
00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:35,830
OK. 
When it feels natural, bring 

25
00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:42,150
your awareness back to this 
place of love and safety. 

26
00:04:52,760 --> 00:05:00,920
Surrendering all of your worried
thoughts, your stresses, and 

27
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,320
maybe even your 
responsibilities. 

28
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:13,840
Just relaxing and releasing. 
Letting go. 

29
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:41,680
Now let's relax the muscles. 
Start with the hands. 

30
00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:47,400
Letting go of the tension in the
hands. 

31
00:05:56,090 --> 00:06:00,810
Let the palms open. 
Relax each finger. 

32
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:22,500
Let your grip relax, let the 
arms relax and the joints 

33
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:34,260
release, the shoulders falling 
away from the ears. 

34
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:58,240
Feel the weight of the body and 
now to the legs, relaxing and 

35
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:07,080
letting go. 
Allow the legs to be heavy. 

36
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:24,680
Allow the muscles to completely 
relax, almost like they're 

37
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:49,760
melting. 
If you need a deep breath, take 

38
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:55,400
it. 
Keep it easy and natural. 

39
00:08:08,890 --> 00:08:13,210
Notice how the breath changes 
the way you feel. 

40
00:08:19,810 --> 00:08:25,050
There is nowhere to go, nowhere 
to be. 

41
00:08:25,930 --> 00:08:35,880
You are here, everything is 
perfectly how it should be. 

42
00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:51,310
Let your mind relax. 
You are safe. 

43
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:29,880
Allow yourself to release those 
feelings of tightness and 

44
00:09:29,880 --> 00:10:04,960
tension. 
And now for a moment or two, let

45
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:12,680
go of any focus. 
Just allow yourself to be. 

46
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:33,670
Take this verse with you. 
This is my command. 

47
00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:42,720
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid or discouraged,

48
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:50,240
for the Lord your God is with 
you wherever you go. 

49
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:05,920
God, I know you're always with 
me. 

50
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Thank you for all of your 
blessings. 

51
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,640
Help me to relax and let go in 
your presence. 

52
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,200
I trust your plan for my life.
