1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:07,120
Could haves, should haves and 
what ifs will always destroy 

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,400
peace and contentment. 
They simply aren't real. 

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:19,520
But accepting life as it is is 
opening the door to new life and

4
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,920
opportunity. 
Whether a situation is good or 

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,440
bad, contentment is always 
possible when you trust God's 

6
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:37,000
plan for your life. 
Go ahead and get comfortable in 

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,240
your position, really allowing 
the body to relax. 

8
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:53,040
And when you feel ready, let 
your eyes slowly close. 

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,800
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

10
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:10,960
Jesus said to his disciples, 
Don't be worried, have faith in 

11
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:24,430
God and have faith in me. 
And again, Jesus said to his 

12
00:01:24,430 --> 00:01:31,390
disciples, don't be worried. 
Have faith in God and have faith

13
00:01:31,390 --> 00:01:48,680
in me. 
Now bring your awareness to the 

14
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:57,790
feeling of the body. 
Maybe there's some muscle 

15
00:01:57,790 --> 00:02:01,950
tightness or stress lingering in
the body. 

16
00:02:08,350 --> 00:02:15,790
Slowly bring your attention to 
those areas of tightness and 

17
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:31,120
relax them piece by piece. 
Feel the weight of your body in 

18
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:42,850
the chair. 
As your body begins to relax, 

19
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:54,490
allow your mind to let go. 
Give yourself permission to 

20
00:02:54,490 --> 00:03:06,560
start fresh. 
What is done is done. 

21
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:22,420
All you have is this moment. 
This is a safe place. 

22
00:03:24,380 --> 00:03:44,080
Release your thoughts to God. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

23
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:59,680
a few nice deep breaths, inhale,
feel the chest rise, and exhale,

24
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:12,400
feel the chest fall. 
There's no way to do this wrong.

25
00:04:17,950 --> 00:04:22,430
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

26
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:30,070
When it feels comfortable, bring
your awareness back to the 

27
00:04:30,070 --> 00:04:51,600
feeling of the breath. 
Let's take a few nice deep 

28
00:04:51,600 --> 00:05:04,790
breaths. 
Allow your breath to fill the 

29
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:13,190
body up and then relax with each
out breath. 

30
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:28,620
With each new breath, allow the 
chest to open and the body to 

31
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:45,640
relax. 
Let go of any tension in your 

32
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:53,480
body. 
Just focus your attention on the

33
00:05:53,480 --> 00:06:01,400
breath. 
Deep breaths in through the nose

34
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:15,920
and out through the mouth. 
And when it feels comfortable, 

35
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:26,960
begin to count the breath. 
One on the inhale and two on the

36
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:39,240
exhale, three on the next inhale
and four on the next exhale, 

37
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,160
counting up to 10 and then 
starting over again. 

38
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Now let go of the counting and 
bring your attention to the 

39
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:26,610
sound of your breathing. 
Just a nice soft focus on the 

40
00:07:26,650 --> 00:07:30,570
air coming in and the air going 
out. 

41
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:59,620
Just relaxing and releasing. 
Allow your awareness to rest 

42
00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:16,060
with the breath. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:18,820 --> 00:08:23,100
Jesus said to his disciples. 
Don't be worried. 

44
00:08:23,940 --> 00:08:27,540
Have faith in God and have faith
in me. 

45
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:49,680
Softly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body, back

46
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:52,920
to that feeling of weight in the
body. 

47
00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:00,320
And when you're ready, slowly 
open your eyes and take a big 

48
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,280
deep breath in. 
Take a moment to check in and 

49
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,440
notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

50
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,440
present. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

51
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,760
another day of hope. 
Take care.
