1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,640
Life has a tendency to feel like
you're in a small boat being 

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,880
tossed around in a storm and you
aren't sure if you're going to 

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:18,190
make it. 
Jesus slept through the storm, 

4
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:24,550
not because he didn't understand
the danger of the situation, but

5
00:00:24,550 --> 00:00:27,830
because he knew something that 
his disciples didn't. 

6
00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:38,240
God had a plan for their life. 
When it feels like life is a 

7
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:45,160
storm and all hope is lost, 
remember God has a plan for your

8
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:54,060
life. 
Let's begin by allowing the body

9
00:00:54,300 --> 00:01:05,340
to become heavy, and as you 
begin to relax, allow your eyes 

10
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:13,640
to close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:20,200
this verse. 
This is my command. 

12
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:28,680
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid or discouraged,

13
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,560
for the Lord your God is with 
you wherever you go. 

14
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:51,440
And again, this is my command. 
Be strong and courageous. 

15
00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:01,080
Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the Lord your God is with 

16
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:19,760
you wherever you go. 
Bring your attention to any 

17
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,480
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

18
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:36,700
Not engaging with your feelings,
just noticing them. 

19
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:50,820
Almost like you're observing 
your emotions and then letting 

20
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:59,160
them go. 
Just like loosening your grip, 

21
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,000
you're letting go of those 
feelings. 

22
00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:20,390
Let God handle whatever is out 
of your control. 

23
00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:33,990
This is a place of acceptance 
and safety. 

24
00:03:36,510 --> 00:03:52,400
You can always find rest in God.
Now begin to notice how your 

25
00:03:52,400 --> 00:04:02,480
body feels. 
When it feels comfortable, begin

26
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:15,170
to consciously relax the body, 
scanning down from your head to 

27
00:04:15,170 --> 00:04:20,690
your toes. 
Release any areas of tension in 

28
00:04:20,690 --> 00:04:36,240
the body. 
Surrender all of your stress and

29
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,720
all of your responsibilities and
just let your mind rest. 

30
00:04:56,580 --> 00:05:01,660
You are safe. 
God is looking out for you. 

31
00:05:20,280 --> 00:05:25,320
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

32
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

33
00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:53,860
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

34
00:05:53,860 --> 00:06:10,120
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

35
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:18,560
effortlessly, and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

36
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,240
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

37
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:40,520
This is all that matters right 
now. 

38
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:54,040
Whenever you need to let go of 
let it go, release it to God. 

39
00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:08,790
Today is a new day with new 
opportunities. 

40
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:24,440
Allow your breath to renew your 
spirit and connect you to your 

41
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:40,000
Creator who loves you. 
Deep breath in through the nose 

42
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:58,280
and out through the mouth. 
Remember, this is a place of 

43
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,280
love. 
Let this practice be whatever 

44
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:10,840
you need it to be. 
God's calming presence is always

45
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:29,120
accessible to you. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

46
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:48,070
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

47
00:08:50,550 --> 00:08:56,590
This is my command. 
Be strong and courageous. 

48
00:08:57,990 --> 00:09:06,230
Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the Lord your God is with 

49
00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:25,020
you wherever you go. 
When it feels easy, bring your 

50
00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:28,860
attention back to the feeling of
the breath. 

51
00:09:30,220 --> 00:09:37,460
Take a few more deep breaths and
slowly allow your eyes to open. 

52
00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:42,980
Notice how the breath changes 
the way you feel. 

53
00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:46,380
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

54
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,000
We'll see you again tomorrow. 
Take care of yourself.
