1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,280
Habits and routine are tools we 
use to direct our life. 

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,080
We experience the presence of 
God when we make a regular habit

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:16,239
of communing with God. 
As you meditate today, know that

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,800
you are taking steps every day 
to invite the presence of God 

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:28,120
into your life. 
Let's start by taking a few nice

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:36,520
deep breaths. 
As your breath begins to relax 

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:43,360
your body, allow your eyes to 
close like the sunsets. 

8
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,120
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

9
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:00,040
So faith comes from hearing and 
hearing through the word of 

10
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:12,720
Christ. 
And again, so faith comes from 

11
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:17,440
hearing, and hearing through the
word of Christ. 

12
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:44,880
Now bring your awareness to the 
space around the body, not 

13
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:52,160
really examining it, just 
noticing the space with an easy 

14
00:01:52,160 --> 00:02:07,800
curiosity. 
Notice any sensations on the 

15
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:14,960
skin. 
Feel the clothes on the skin. 

16
00:02:22,420 --> 00:02:24,860
Feel the temperature of the 
room. 

17
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Listen to the sounds in the 
room. 

18
00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:46,190
Just a nice easy focus on the 
sounds in the room. 

19
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,800
Listen to the gentle sound of 
your breathing. 

20
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,200
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest. 

21
00:03:26,290 --> 00:03:31,290
Maybe the breath is shallow or 
maybe it's deep. 

22
00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:39,360
Both are OK. 
Just follow the breath as it 

23
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:54,940
moves through your body. 
Let the rhythm of your breath 

24
00:03:55,900 --> 00:04:13,850
relax your mind. 
This is a safe place. 

25
00:04:15,770 --> 00:04:36,880
God is watching over you. 
Now bring your attention to any 

26
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,480
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

27
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,680
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them with an easy 

28
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:23,080
curiosity. 
Now take a few deep breaths and 

29
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,480
allow the body to relax a little
more. 

30
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:50,220
With each exhale, 
with each passing thought, allow

31
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:54,780
your awareness to rest deeper 
into God's love. 

32
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:27,610
Now begin to deepen the breath. 
Inhale slowly and lengthen the 

33
00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:45,080
breath and then exhale, letting 
go of the breath and then right 

34
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:55,600
back into the next inhale. 
Slow it down and make it deep, 

35
00:07:05,450 --> 00:07:09,890
and then exhale. 
Let the body relax. 

36
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Now allow your breath to settle 
and let your mind settle with 

37
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:44,800
it. 
Give yourself space just to be 

38
00:07:44,800 --> 00:08:04,550
who you are, a child of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

39
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:12,710
So faith comes from hearing and 
hearing through the word of 

40
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:29,840
Christ. 
When it feels easy, bring your 

41
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,679
attention back to the feeling of
the breath. 

42
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:42,320
Take a few more deep breaths and
slowly allow your eyes to open. 

43
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Notice how the breath changes 
the way you feel. 

44
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

45
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:56,800
We'll see you again tomorrow. 
Take care of yourself.
