1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,600
When you meditate in God's 
presence, you're opening 

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:17,090
yourself to God's wisdom. 
Slowing down to rest with God 

3
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:20,570
opens you up to his wisdom and 
guidance. 

4
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:33,310
Rest into God's love and wisdom 
as you prepare for this 

5
00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:43,680
meditation. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

6
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:55,040
comfortable, taking a few nice 
big deep breaths, and when 

7
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,680
you're ready, allow your eyes to
slowly close. 

8
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,560
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

9
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:19,120
God create a pure heart in me 
and make my spirit strong again.

10
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:34,540
Again. 
God create a pure heart in me 

11
00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:53,760
and make my spirit strong again.
As you relax, allow God's 

12
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,680
presence of peace to wash over 
you. 

13
00:02:08,050 --> 00:02:13,170
Let your breath fill your body 
and relax your muscles. 

14
00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:29,810
As your breath relaxes your 
body, bring your attention to 

15
00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:46,280
the heartbeat. 
Just noticing the quiet rhythm 

16
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:59,740
of your heartbeat. 
Allow that rhythm and stillness 

17
00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:06,860
to calm your mind, to relax your
body. 

18
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:21,520
Let go of any feelings of stress
or worry. 

19
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:48,720
God is taking care of you. 
Allow those feelings to go. 

20
00:03:54,290 --> 00:04:09,770
You are safe here and if 
thoughts take you away, that's 

21
00:04:09,770 --> 00:04:13,650
OK. 
Be easy with the thoughts. 

22
00:04:16,490 --> 00:04:22,000
Just remember you can always 
come back to the breath and the 

23
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:39,760
heartbeat. 
Let yourself relax and allow God

24
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:54,610
to speak to your heart 
when it feels comfortable. 

25
00:04:56,210 --> 00:05:08,930
Take a few nice deep breaths in 
really making a point to expand 

26
00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:24,640
the body and expand the chest. 
Notice how the breath makes you 

27
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:40,650
feel. 
Now let the breath begin to 

28
00:05:40,650 --> 00:05:53,150
settle. 
As your breath begins to settle,

29
00:05:54,470 --> 00:06:10,760
allow the body to become heavy. 
Notice any sensations in the 

30
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,080
body. 
See if you're holding on to any 

31
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:32,280
tension. 
Maybe the body's tight, or maybe

32
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:36,120
it's not. 
Either is OK. 

33
00:06:50,350 --> 00:06:55,430
You're just scanning the body, 
looking for any areas of 

34
00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:58,910
tightness and letting them 
release. 

35
00:07:08,470 --> 00:07:15,040
And if the mind drifts away in 
thought, slowly bring it back to

36
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,400
the feelings in the body and the
breath. 

37
00:07:28,660 --> 00:07:41,960
Your body knows how to relax. 
You don't have to think about it

38
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,400
for it to happen. 
You are simply uncovering the 

39
00:07:47,400 --> 00:08:04,200
calm that was always present. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

40
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:24,720
arms of God. 
Take this verse with you God. 

41
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,480
Create a pure heart in me and 
make my spirit strong again. 

42
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:49,840
Slowly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body. 

43
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,000
Maybe even move your fingers and
toes a little bit. 

44
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:03,280
When it feels natural, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

45
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Take another big deep breath in 
and let it out with a sigh. 

46
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

47
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,200
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

48
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,120
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
