1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,920
One of the only constants in 
life is change, and when things 

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:12,200
are changing, it's easy to wish 
for some past reality or hope 

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,360
for a future that doesn't seem 
to be possible anymore. 

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,680
But the truth is that neither of
those things are real. 

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,760
The present moment is all that 
you are given. 

6
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,200
While change can be difficult, 
you have to trust that God is 

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,760
moving in your life. 
You have to choose to see Him in

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:48,720
your present existence. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

9
00:00:48,720 --> 00:01:00,040
comfortable, taking a few nice 
big deep breaths, and when 

10
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,680
you're ready, allow your eyes to
slowly close. 

11
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,560
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

12
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,400
I will answer them before they 
even call to me. 

13
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,440
While they are still talking 
about their needs, I will go 

14
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:39,880
ahead and answer their prayers. 
And again, I will answer them 

15
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:45,080
before they even call to me. 
While they are still talking 

16
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,440
about their needs, I will go 
ahead and answer their prayers. 

17
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:12,480
As you relax, allow God's 
presence of peace to wash over 

18
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:25,760
you. 
Let your breath fill your body 

19
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:41,030
and relax your muscles. 
As your breath relaxes your 

20
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:45,590
body, bring your attention to 
the heartbeat. 

21
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:02,880
Just noticing the quiet rhythm 
of your heartbeat. 

22
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:21,250
Allow that rhythm and stillness 
to calm your mind, to relax your

23
00:03:21,250 --> 00:03:35,570
body. 
Let go of any feelings of stress

24
00:03:35,650 --> 00:03:49,440
or worry. 
God is taking care of you. 

25
00:04:01,430 --> 00:04:21,510
Allow those feelings to go. 
You are safe here and if 

26
00:04:21,510 --> 00:04:25,310
thoughts take you away, that's 
OK. 

27
00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:34,470
Be easy with the thoughts. 
Just remember you can always 

28
00:04:34,470 --> 00:04:37,800
come back to the breath and the 
heartbeat. 

29
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:56,500
Let yourself relax and allow God
to speak to your heart 

30
00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:15,090
when it feels comfortable. 
Take a few nice deep breaths in 

31
00:05:20,930 --> 00:05:27,370
really making a point to expand 
the body and expand the chest. 

32
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,360
Notice how the breath makes you 
feel. 

33
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:56,340
Now let the breath begin to 
settle. 

34
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:12,320
As your breath begins to settle,
allow the body to become heavy. 

35
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,390
Notice any sensations in the 
body. 

36
00:06:29,150 --> 00:06:31,790
See if you're holding on to any 
tension. 

37
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Maybe the body is tight, or 
maybe it's not. 

38
00:06:49,840 --> 00:07:07,550
Either is OK. 
You're just scanning the body 

39
00:07:08,150 --> 00:07:13,190
looking for any areas of 
tightness and letting them 

40
00:07:13,190 --> 00:07:25,700
release. 
And if the mind drifts away in 

41
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:32,920
thought, slowly bring it back to
the feelings in the body and the

42
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:46,660
breath. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

43
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,440
You don't have to think about it
for it to happen. 

44
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:05,680
You are simply uncovering the 
calm that was always present. 

45
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,600
Let your awareness rest in the 
arms of God. 

46
00:08:35,289 --> 00:08:42,610
Take this verse with you. 
I will answer them before they 

47
00:08:42,610 --> 00:08:46,730
even call to me. 
While they are still talking 

48
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:51,290
about their needs, I will go 
ahead and answer their prayers. 

49
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,600
Slowly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body. 

50
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,760
Maybe even move your fingers and
toes a little bit. 

51
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:24,040
When it feels natural, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

52
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:30,600
Take another big deep breath in 
and let it out with a sigh. 

53
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

54
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,960
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

55
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
