1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,480
Life throws a lot of things at 
us that demand our attention. 

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,840
Sometimes it feels like we're 
busy an entire day, but when the

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,000
day is over, it feels as though 
nothing was accomplished. 

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,080
If we can learn to approach each
moment as a gift, we can see 

5
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,640
past the busyness and learn to 
appreciate the little things. 

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:35,040
Let's begin by loosening the 
shoulders and the chest, and 

7
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:41,280
when you feel ready, just allow 
the eyes to slowly close. 

8
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,920
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,800
The Lord is my shepherd. 
I lack nothing. 

10
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:11,280
Again, the Lord is my shepherd. 
I lack nothing. 

11
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:32,520
Now begin to soften the body and
pay attention to the breath. 

12
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:46,020
Now take a deep breath until the
air reaches the top of the chest

13
00:01:50,360 --> 00:02:09,070
and then slowly exhale 
and again let your inhale be 

14
00:02:09,070 --> 00:02:19,030
slow and expansive and then 
exhale, following the breath 

15
00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:35,840
back out. 
Allow your breath to settle and 

16
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:51,280
become natural. 
Bring your attention to any 

17
00:02:51,280 --> 00:03:04,530
sounds in the room. 
Maybe the room is quiet or maybe

18
00:03:04,530 --> 00:03:08,610
it's not. 
Both are OK. 

19
00:03:14,510 --> 00:03:20,030
Just notice the sounds and 
accept them as they are. 

20
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,760
You're right where you need to 
be 

21
00:03:44,620 --> 00:03:48,900
in this moment. 
Everything is OK. 

22
00:03:49,940 --> 00:04:05,560
God loves you. 
This is a place of rest and 

23
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:17,579
safety. 
Simply let go. 

24
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:37,600
Gradually and with ease, bring 
your awareness to rest on your 

25
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:49,030
breath. 
Feel the body rise with each 

26
00:04:49,030 --> 00:04:58,870
inhale and then allow your 
awareness to rest in a little 

27
00:04:58,870 --> 00:05:20,320
more with each exhale. 
Notice how with each breath the 

28
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:38,530
body feels a little calmer. 
Begin to notice the space around

29
00:05:38,530 --> 00:05:48,050
the body. 
Feel the contact of the body on 

30
00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:52,410
the chair and your feet on the 
floor. 

31
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:12,040
When you feel comfortable, begin
to scan the entire body to build

32
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,360
up a picture of what the body 
feels like. 

33
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Piece by piece. 
Release any areas of tension. 

34
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:34,520
Let go of your stress. 
Let go of your anxiety. 

35
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,320
You are exactly where you're 
meant to be. 

36
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,720
Allow that natural rhythm of the
breath to relax you. 

37
00:07:08,090 --> 00:07:14,890
Let your breath guide you to a 
place of safety in the presence 

38
00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:40,360
of God. 
You are accepted here. 

39
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:58,580
You are loved. 
Take this verse with you. 

40
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:07,020
The Lord is my shepherd. 
I lack nothing. 

41
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,880
Slowly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body. 

42
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,000
Maybe even move your fingers and
toes a little bit. 

43
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:40,280
When it feels natural, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

44
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,840
Take another big deep breath in 
and let it out with a sigh. 

45
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,240
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

46
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,200
relaxed. 
We'll see you again to Morrow 

47
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,160
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
