1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,200
Jesus introduced an amazing 
concept to the world. 

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,560
He told us that God is our 
Father. 

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,320
Not a distant, far off ruler 
that wants to punish us for our 

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,520
misdeeds, but a loving Father 
who will go to any lengths to 

5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,720
bring us home. 
Remember, your life is a journey

6
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,520
and it has a purpose. 
The purpose is to bring you 

7
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,560
home. 
God is always at work in your 

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,720
life. 
OK, let's get started by 

9
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:46,720
allowing the body to relax. 
And when you're ready, let your 

10
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:56,680
eyes close like the sun sets. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:03,280
this verse. 
For you are all children of God 

12
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:17,360
through faith in Christ Jesus. 
And again, for you are all 

13
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,520
children of God through faith in
Christ Jesus. 

14
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:44,440
When it feels natural, begin to 
consciously relax the body. 

15
00:01:50,620 --> 00:02:03,350
Release the tension in your 
hands, let the shoulders relax 

16
00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:17,360
and fall away from the ears. 
Allow the neck to relax and let 

17
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:30,320
go. 
Take a big deep breath in. 

18
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Release your stress. 
Let go of your frustrations. 

19
00:02:47,790 --> 00:02:52,790
If your mind is full of 
thoughts, it's OK. 

20
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:07,040
When it feels natural, just come
back to the feeling of the 

21
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:16,290
breath. 
We aren't holding on to the 

22
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:22,850
thoughts, we're just noticing 
them and letting them go. 

23
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,720
Bring your awareness to the way 
your body feels. 

24
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,680
Notice how your breath relaxes 
the body. 

25
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:57,750
Allow that natural rhythm of 
your breath to calm your body. 

26
00:04:01,070 --> 00:04:08,230
Not trying to change anything, 
just accepting the body the way 

27
00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:22,079
it is. 
Allow yourself to relax in the 

28
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:46,520
loving presence of God. 
Now bring your attention to the 

29
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:54,960
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

30
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:17,320
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

31
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:31,850
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

32
00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:46,890
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

33
00:05:46,890 --> 00:05:50,490
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

34
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:11,880
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

35
00:06:26,140 --> 00:06:32,380
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

36
00:06:32,380 --> 00:06:44,140
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

37
00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:50,460
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

38
00:06:50,460 --> 00:07:03,160
drift. 
As best you can, leave those 

39
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:09,360
thoughts right where they are 
and come back to that feeling of

40
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:22,810
your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

41
00:07:22,810 --> 00:07:27,890
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

42
00:07:32,330 --> 00:07:38,040
There isn't anything to 
discover, it's always been 

43
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:48,830
there. 
This is a safe place. 

44
00:07:50,270 --> 00:08:11,630
God loves you. 
Take this verse with you, for 

45
00:08:11,630 --> 00:08:18,150
you are all children of God 
through faith in Christ Jesus. 

46
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:38,280
Softly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body, back

47
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,559
to that feeling of weight in the
body. 

48
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:48,920
And when you're ready, slowly 
open your eyes and take a big 

49
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:54,880
deep breath in. 
Take a moment to check in and 

50
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,080
notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

51
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,040
present. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

52
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,400
another day of hope. 
Take care.
