1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,160
I think it's common for us to 
ask God to improve the 

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,960
circumstances of our lives, but 
at the same time, we can be so 

3
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:23,450
unwilling to accept change. 
Transformation requires change. 

4
00:00:25,610 --> 00:00:28,530
Renewal often comes through 
hardship. 

5
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:43,400
If you're in a season of change,
be mindful and allow yourself to

6
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,240
grow. 
Allow this natural 

7
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:58,090
transformation. 
Let's start by taking a few nice

8
00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:06,490
deep breaths. 
As your breath begins to relax 

9
00:01:06,490 --> 00:01:13,360
your body, allow your eyes to 
close like the sunsets. 

10
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

11
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,960
Even to your old age and Gray 
hairs. 

12
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:41,600
I am He who will sustain you. 
And again, even to your old age 

13
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,280
and Gray hairs, I am He who will
sustain you 

14
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,560
with a gentle ease. 
Let's go ahead and take a nice 

15
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:14,680
deep breath. 
Notice how good it feels just to

16
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:26,040
breathe. 
Allow your inhales to fill the 

17
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:34,400
body up and then totally relax 
the body. 

18
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:48,620
On the exhale, notice how your 
breath changes the way your body

19
00:02:48,620 --> 00:03:00,100
feels, and on your next inhale, 
begin to count the breath. 

20
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:08,040
One on the inhale and two on the
exhale. 

21
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:18,920
Three on the next inhale and 
four on the next exhale, 

22
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,320
counting up to 10 and then 
starting over again. 

23
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:45,680
If you lose track of the breath,
it's OK, just start over again, 

24
00:03:46,560 --> 00:04:09,710
counting from 1:00. 
There is nowhere to go, nowhere 

25
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:15,710
to be. 
We are just here counting the 

26
00:04:15,710 --> 00:04:30,320
breath. 
On the next exhale, allow the 

27
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,880
breath to relax and become 
natural. 

28
00:04:42,010 --> 00:04:48,130
And now, for a moment or two, 
let your mind relax. 

29
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:08,200
When it feels natural, let's 
take a nice big breath. 

30
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:25,200
With each breath, allow the body
to become softer and more 

31
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:35,640
relaxed, almost like a wave of 
relaxation washing over the 

32
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:55,720
body. 
The breath fills up the body, 

33
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:03,400
and then it gives way to that 
natural relaxation that's right 

34
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:21,690
under the surface. 
Now let's turn our awareness to 

35
00:06:21,690 --> 00:06:34,170
how the body feels. 
Just examining the body with an 

36
00:06:34,330 --> 00:06:45,960
easy curiosity. 
Allow your shoulders to relax 

37
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:57,160
and fall away from the ears. 
Relax your arms and allow your 

38
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:10,650
hands to open and let go. 
Allow your temples and face to 

39
00:07:10,650 --> 00:07:20,000
relax. 
Let the throat and the neck 

40
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:30,460
soften. 
Allow your breath to deepen as 

41
00:07:30,460 --> 00:07:40,460
your awareness rests deeper, 
just relaxing and releasing. 

42
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:57,680
You are here and everything is 
OK God is with you. 

43
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:15,430
And now, for a moment or two, 
let go of any focus and allow 

44
00:08:15,430 --> 00:08:33,640
yourself to simply be. 
Take this verse with you, even 

45
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:39,799
to your old age and Gray hairs. 
I am He who will sustain you. 

46
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:59,200
Allow your awareness to slowly 
come back to your body and when 

47
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,920
it feels natural, begin to open 
your eyes. 

48
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,480
Sit back in your chair, maybe 
you want to stretch a little 

49
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,880
bit. 
Do whatever feels good. 

50
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,960
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

51
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,040
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

52
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,160
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
