1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:07,840
Often God's hand in your life is
hidden, but you can see it when 

2
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,600
you look back on the 
circumstances of your life. 

3
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,000
These improbable connections and
life paths almost always lead 

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,600
you somewhere you could have 
never imagined. 

5
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,360
God's fingerprints are on the 
improbable and the unlikely. 

6
00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:43,590
When you look back, God's hand 
is very present and visible 

7
00:00:50,060 --> 00:00:53,260
today. 
As you meditate, rest in the 

8
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:58,980
knowledge that God is always at 
work in your life, even when you

9
00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:09,980
can't see it. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

10
00:01:09,980 --> 00:01:17,040
comfortable. 
Take a few nice big deep 

11
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:27,000
breaths, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

12
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,560
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

13
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,760
We know that in all things God 
works for good with those who 

14
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,360
love Him, those whom he has 
called according to His purpose.

15
00:01:57,630 --> 00:02:05,390
And again, we know that in all 
things God works for good with 

16
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:10,110
those who love Him, those whom 
He has called according to his 

17
00:02:10,110 --> 00:02:27,760
purpose. 
As you relax, allow God's 

18
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,720
presence of peace to wash over 
you. 

19
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:47,180
Let your breath fill your body 
and relax your muscles. 

20
00:02:57,930 --> 00:03:03,810
As your breath relaxes your 
body, bring your attention to 

21
00:03:03,810 --> 00:03:20,280
the heartbeat. 
Just noticing the quiet rhythm 

22
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:33,720
of your heartbeat. 
Allow that rhythm and stillness 

23
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,840
to calm your mind, to relax your
body. 

24
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:55,530
Let go of any feelings of stress
or worry. 

25
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:22,730
God is taking care of you. 
Allow those feelings to go. 

26
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:43,780
You are safe here and if 
thoughts take you away, that's 

27
00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:47,660
OK. 
Be easy with the thoughts. 

28
00:04:50,500 --> 00:04:56,040
Just remember you can always 
come back to the breath and the 

29
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:13,780
heartbeat. 
Let yourself relax and allow God

30
00:05:13,980 --> 00:05:28,630
to speak to your heart 
when it feels comfortable. 

31
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:42,960
Take a few nice deep breaths in 
really making a point to expand 

32
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:58,640
the body and expand the chest. 
Notice how the breath makes you 

33
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:14,650
feel. 
Now let the breath begin to 

34
00:06:14,650 --> 00:06:27,150
settle. 
As your breath begins to settle,

35
00:06:28,470 --> 00:06:44,760
allow the body to become heavy. 
Notice any sensations in the 

36
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,080
body. 
See if you're holding on to any 

37
00:06:50,080 --> 00:07:06,280
tension. 
Maybe the body's tight, or maybe

38
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:10,080
it's not. 
Either is OK. 

39
00:07:24,370 --> 00:07:29,410
You're just scanning the body, 
looking for any areas of 

40
00:07:29,410 --> 00:07:32,890
tightness and letting them 
release. 

41
00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:49,040
And if the mind drifts away in 
thought, slowly bring it back to

42
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,360
the feelings in the body and the
breath. 

43
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:15,980
Your body knows how to relax. 
You don't have to think about it

44
00:08:16,380 --> 00:08:21,420
for it to happen. 
You are simply uncovering the 

45
00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:38,200
calm that was always present. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

46
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:56,030
arms of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

47
00:08:59,510 --> 00:09:04,550
We know that in all things God 
works for good with those who 

48
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:09,310
love Him, those whom He has 
called according to His purpose.

49
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:27,080
Slowly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body. 

50
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,240
Maybe even move your fingers and
toes a little bit. 

51
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,520
When it feels natural, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

52
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:47,080
Take another big deep breath in 
and let it out with a sigh. 

53
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,480
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

54
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,440
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

55
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,360
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
