1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,400
God is constantly creating 
change in your life. 

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,760
These changes are opportunities 
to grow and to experience new 

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,920
life. 
Trust in the knowledge that God 

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,880
is at work in your life and God 
is good. 

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:26,040
Knowing what you know, make the 
best possible decisions that you

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:32,960
can and leave the rest to God. 
There's peace in resting with 

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,360
God. 
OK, let's begin by consciously 

8
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:48,840
relaxing the body, and when 
you're ready, allow your eyes to

9
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:56,440
slowly close as your body begins
to settle. 

10
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,120
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

11
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,400
I know that there is someone to 
defend me and that he lives. 

12
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:24,520
And again, I know that there is 
someone to defend me and that he

13
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:45,400
lives. 
Now let's take some nice deep 

14
00:01:45,480 --> 00:02:01,190
breaths in through the nose and 
out through the mouth, just 

15
00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:09,590
noticing and observing the 
breath, watching the rise and 

16
00:02:09,590 --> 00:02:23,520
the fall of the chest. 
Listen to the gentle sound of 

17
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:36,530
your breathing. 
Begin to notice any feelings you

18
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:49,640
may have brought with you today.
Thoughts are a natural part of 

19
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:57,360
meditation. 
Just leave those feelings right 

20
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:04,040
where they are and then gently 
come back to the feeling of the 

21
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:19,920
breath. 
Long, deep inhale, then a slow 

22
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:33,470
controlled exhale. 
Allow the breath to calm the 

23
00:03:33,470 --> 00:03:52,640
mind and relax the body. 
And now allow your awareness to 

24
00:03:52,640 --> 00:04:01,680
fall and move inward, finding 
that place where you feel loved.

25
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,320
Feel that natural peace in God's
presence. 

26
00:04:20,649 --> 00:04:27,800
Remember, when you come near to 
God, He will come near to you. 

27
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,720
Bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

28
00:04:50,720 --> 00:05:03,700
you. 
Not engaging with your feelings,

29
00:05:05,540 --> 00:05:19,610
just noticing them. 
Almost like you're observing 

30
00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:24,010
your emotions and then letting 
them go. 

31
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,960
Just like loosening your grip, 
you're letting go of those 

32
00:05:32,960 --> 00:06:00,880
feelings. 
Let God handle whatever is out 

33
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:16,560
of your control. 
This is a place of acceptance 

34
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:25,400
and safety. 
You can always find rest in God.

35
00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:42,120
Now begin to notice how your 
body feels. 

36
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:55,880
When it feels comfortable, begin
to consciously relax the body, 

37
00:07:06,750 --> 00:07:10,670
scanning down from your head to 
your toes. 

38
00:07:12,110 --> 00:07:15,870
Release any areas of tension in 
the body. 

39
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:34,680
Surrender all of your stress and
all of your responsibilities and

40
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:53,220
just let your mind rest. 
You are safe. 

41
00:07:54,820 --> 00:08:12,560
God is looking out for you. 
Take this verse with you. 

42
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:20,400
I know that there is someone to 
defend me and that he lives. 

43
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:40,000
When you feel ready, slowly 
bring your awareness back to the

44
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,200
breath and allow your eyes to 
open. 

45
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:52,600
Take a few deep breaths in 
through the nose and out through

46
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,120
the mouth. 
Notice how you feel. 

47
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,840
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

48
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:09,520
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with hope, mindfulness, and 

49
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:10,000
prayer.
