1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,920
When your spirit is filled with 
the presence of Jesus, it 

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,560
protects you against all the 
things that can harm you. 

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,920
You lose the desire to criticize
yourself or to criticize others.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:21,440
You lose anger and resentment. 
You can find meaning and 

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,600
fulfillment in circumstances 
that are less than ideal. 

6
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:32,360
So today, may God's love fill 
you and protect you. 

7
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,000
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

8
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:46,720
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

9
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:55,360
few nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close. 

10
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,680
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

11
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:09,800
Love is patient. 
Love is kind. 

12
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,800
It does not envy. 
It does not boast. 

13
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:30,720
It keeps no record of wrongs. 
And again, love is patient, love

14
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:39,280
is kind, does not envy, it does 
not boast, it keeps no record of

15
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:58,520
wrongs. 
Now bring your attention to the 

16
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:06,960
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

17
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:21,280
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

18
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:32,840
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

19
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:45,880
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

20
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,440
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

21
00:02:57,630 --> 00:03:04,910
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

22
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:19,880
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

23
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:35,640
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

24
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:42,000
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

25
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:54,860
drift 
as best you can. 

26
00:03:55,940 --> 00:04:01,980
Leave those thoughts right where
they are and come back to that 

27
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:16,320
feeling of your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

28
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,399
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

29
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,560
There isn't anything to 
discover. 

30
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:41,320
It's always been there. 
This is a safe place. 

31
00:04:42,760 --> 00:05:04,960
God loves you. 
Gradually and with ease, bring 

32
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,640
your awareness to rest on your 
breath. 

33
00:05:16,590 --> 00:05:20,790
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale. 

34
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:39,360
Notice how with each breath, the
body feels a little calmer. 

35
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,800
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

36
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:21,260
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

37
00:06:21,260 --> 00:06:39,450
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

38
00:06:39,450 --> 00:06:45,010
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

39
00:06:45,010 --> 00:06:56,320
feels like. 
Piece by piece, release any 

40
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:05,660
areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress. 

41
00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:18,910
Let go of your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

42
00:07:18,910 --> 00:07:32,080
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

43
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:49,580
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

44
00:07:49,580 --> 00:07:54,380
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

45
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,920
You are accepted here. 
You are loved. 

46
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:31,800
Take this verse with you. 
Love is patient. 

47
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,080
Love is kind. 
Does not envy. 

48
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:42,000
It does not boast. 
It keeps no record of wrongs. 

49
00:08:54,280 --> 00:09:01,520
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

50
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:08,880
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

51
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:15,160
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

52
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:23,720
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

53
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,520
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
