1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,320
Knowing that God is beside you 
can make a big difference in our

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,800
outlook. 
You can be hopeful when you rely

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,320
on the one who can do all 
things. 

4
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,680
You can know that God loves you 
and will make all things work to

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,640
your eternal benefit. 
So have courage today because 

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:29,800
God is with you. 
Go ahead and get comfortable in 

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:36,040
your position, really allowing 
the body to relax. 

8
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,840
And when you feel ready, let 
your eyes slowly close. 

9
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,600
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

10
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,560
I can do all things through 
Christ who strengthens me. 

11
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:17,720
And again, I can do all things 
through Christ who strengthens 

12
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:37,520
me. 
With a gradual ease, take a nice

13
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:45,480
big breath. 
Be intentional with the breath. 

14
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,520
Big deep inhales and nice long 
exhales. 

15
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:11,160
Relax and settle into your body 
with each breath. 

16
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,760
Allow the muscles to soften and 
let go. 

17
00:02:24,870 --> 00:02:29,950
Feel that sense of gravity and 
weight in the body. 

18
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,720
You're just uncovering the 
natural calm that's always 

19
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:55,900
accessible through God. 
Now, with ease, bring your 

20
00:02:55,900 --> 00:02:59,100
awareness to the sounds in the 
room. 

21
00:03:05,690 --> 00:03:15,410
Just listening to the sounds 
with an easy curiosity, not 

22
00:03:15,410 --> 00:03:22,920
placing judgment on the sounds, 
just noticing the sounds and 

23
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,200
accepting them as part of this 
practice. 

24
00:03:38,050 --> 00:03:42,050
If the thoughts take you away, 
it's OK. 

25
00:03:43,130 --> 00:03:49,250
When you notice the thoughts, 
gently bring your awareness back

26
00:03:49,250 --> 00:04:04,680
to the sounds. 
Just noticing and listening 

27
00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:25,140
now for a moment or two. 
Let your awareness go where it 

28
00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:41,230
wants to go. 
When you feel comfortable, bring

29
00:04:41,230 --> 00:04:44,630
your attention to the feeling of
the body. 

30
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:55,920
Make sure you aren't holding any
stress or anxiety in the body. 

31
00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:15,030
Consciously begin to scan the 
body and make sure everything is

32
00:05:15,030 --> 00:05:41,240
comfortable and relaxed. 
Take a few natural deep breaths.

33
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:49,400
Release any emotions or feelings
you brought with you to this 

34
00:05:49,400 --> 00:06:04,870
practice. 
Let God handle what you cannot. 

35
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,040
Relax the body a little more 
with each out breath. 

36
00:06:27,230 --> 00:06:32,390
Simply let go and rest in the 
presence of God. 

37
00:06:43,570 --> 00:06:58,780
Feel the space around the body. 
Appreciate the sounds in the 

38
00:06:58,780 --> 00:07:12,920
room. 
Just listening and experiencing 

39
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:28,650
the feeling of breathing. 
If you notice any resistance in 

40
00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:35,650
the body, come back to the 
breath and allow that tension to

41
00:07:35,650 --> 00:07:49,480
release. 
You are safe, 

42
00:08:03,780 --> 00:08:10,820
take this verse with you. 
I can do all things through 

43
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:29,150
Christ who strengthens me. 
Gently bring your awareness back

44
00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:34,150
to the feeling of the body. 
Notice the weight of the body on

45
00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:41,039
the chair and when you feel 
ready, allow your eyes to open 

46
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:48,280
and take a nice deep breath. 
Notice how your breath changes 

47
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:54,120
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more in

48
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,720
touch with God. 
We'll see you again next time 

49
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:02,800
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
