1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,840
There are important things all 
around us that remind us of 

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:09,200
God's love. 
It's the kind gesture of a Co 

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,840
worker when they know you're 
having a tough time. 

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,040
Or the smile on the face of the 
person in the drive through 

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:20,000
window. 
Or maybe even more abstract 

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,720
things, like spring blooms after
a gloomy winter, or the sun 

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,760
coming out after a hard rain. 
The simplest noticing can remind

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,800
us that with Jesus, there's 
always light behind the clouds. 

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,000
Let that sit with you as you 
begin to meditate. 

10
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:49,720
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable. 

11
00:00:52,800 --> 00:01:01,280
Take a few nice big deep 
breaths, and when you're ready, 

12
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:12,960
allow your eyes to slowly close.
Take a moment to consider this 

13
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,480
verse. 
Nothing in all creation can 

14
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,520
separate us from God's love for 
us. 

15
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:35,880
And again, nothing in all 
creation can separate us from 

16
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:56,830
God's love for us. 
Now bring your attention to your

17
00:01:56,830 --> 00:02:02,910
breath. 
Just a soft, easy awareness. 

18
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:18,240
Notice what it feels like as air
passes in through the nose and 

19
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:32,460
then back out through the mouth.
Let the breath bring life to 

20
00:02:32,460 --> 00:02:49,640
your body. 
Begin to listen to the sound of 

21
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:59,040
your breath, listening to the 
inhale and the exhale. 

22
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,560
On the next exhale, allow the 
breath to relax and become 

23
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:35,530
natural. 
Allow your breath to bring 

24
00:03:35,530 --> 00:03:44,130
renewal to your body. 
You're making space to notice 

25
00:03:44,130 --> 00:04:00,840
God's presence in your life. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

26
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:15,920
your attention to the heartbeat.
Allow that rhythm and stillness 

27
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,480
to enter every part of your 
body. 

28
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:34,930
Feel the presence of God in this
space. 

29
00:04:36,970 --> 00:04:41,690
Let go of control and rest into 
the arms of God. 

30
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:07,120
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few nice deep breaths in, 

31
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:23,400
really making a point to expand 
the body and expand the chest. 

32
00:05:35,070 --> 00:05:37,870
Notice how the breath makes you 
feel. 

33
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,400
Now let the breath begin to 
settle. 

34
00:05:59,110 --> 00:06:05,350
As your breath begins to settle,
allow the body to become heavy. 

35
00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:23,900
Notice any sensations in the 
body. 

36
00:06:26,660 --> 00:06:29,300
See if you're holding on to any 
tension. 

37
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,560
Maybe the body is tight, or 
maybe it's not. 

38
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:53,040
Either is OK. 
You're just scanning the body 

39
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,680
looking for any areas of 
tightness and letting them 

40
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:09,200
release. 
And if the mind drifts away in 

41
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:16,440
thought, slowly bring it back to
the feelings in the body and the

42
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:30,160
breath. 
Your body knows how to relax. 

43
00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:41,980
You don't have to think about it
for it to happen. 

44
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:49,180
You are simply uncovering the 
calm that was always present. 

45
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,120
Let your awareness rest in the 
arms of God. 

46
00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:29,990
Take this verse with you. 
Nothing in all creation can 

47
00:08:29,990 --> 00:08:33,030
separate us from God's love for 
us. 

48
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:53,480
Slowly bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

49
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:02,840
ready, allow your eyes to open. 
Take a moment to notice how your

50
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,000
body feels. 
I hope you feel a little better.

51
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,120
We'll see you again tomorrow 
with Hope, Mindfulness and 

52
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,720
prayer. 
Remember, be easy with yourself.
