1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,320
Prayer allows your spirit to 
rest and reconnect. 

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,120
By taking time to rest, you're 
honoring God. 

3
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,280
By resting, you're accepting 
God's love. 

4
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,200
Your actions are telling Him 
that you know He's in control. 

5
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,800
Resting is an act of trust and 
love. 

6
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,960
You're acknowledging that God is
in control. 

7
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:57,720
OK, let's begin by taking a few 
seconds to consciously relax the

8
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:08,920
body, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

9
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,400
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

10
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:24,840
You're my cave to hide in, my 
Cliff to climb. 

11
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:40,880
And again, you're my cave to 
hide in, my Cliff to climb. 

12
00:01:54,070 --> 00:02:04,230
Now let's take some nice deep 
breaths in through the nose and 

13
00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:16,880
out through the mouth. 
Just noticing and observing the 

14
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:24,720
breath, watching the rise and 
the fall of the chest. 

15
00:02:33,710 --> 00:02:37,350
Listen to the gentle sound of 
your breathing. 

16
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:51,770
Begin to notice any feelings you
may have brought with you today.

17
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,520
Thoughts are a natural part of 
meditation. 

18
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,360
Just leave those feelings right 
where they are and then gently 

19
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,480
come back to the feeling of the 
breath. 

20
00:03:27,730 --> 00:03:35,570
Long, deep inhale, then a slow, 
controlled exhale. 

21
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:49,320
Allow the breath to calm the 
mind and relax the body. 

22
00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:11,030
And now allow your awareness to 
fall and move inward, finding 

23
00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:25,460
that place where you feel loved.
Feel that natural peace in God's

24
00:04:25,460 --> 00:04:36,720
presence. 
Remember, when you come near to 

25
00:04:36,720 --> 00:05:01,250
God, He will come near to you. 
Bring your attention to any 

26
00:05:01,250 --> 00:05:03,970
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

27
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Not engaging with your feelings,
just noticing them. 

28
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:36,320
Almost like you're observing 
your emotions and then letting 

29
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,880
them go. 
Just like loosening your grip, 

30
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,720
you're letting go of those 
feelings. 

31
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:14,920
Let God handle whatever is out 
of your control. 

32
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,480
This is a place of acceptance 
and safety. 

33
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:53,920
You can always find rest in God.
Now begin to notice how your 

34
00:06:53,920 --> 00:07:06,010
body feels. 
When it feels comfortable, begin

35
00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:22,700
to consciously relax the body, 
scanning down from your head to 

36
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:28,220
your toes. 
Release any areas of tension in 

37
00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:43,760
the body. 
Surrender all of your stress and

38
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:50,240
all of your responsibilities and
just let your mind rest. 

39
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,680
You are safe. 
God is looking out for you. 

40
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:32,240
Take this verse with you. 
You're my cave to hide in, my 

41
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:53,830
Cliff to climb. 
When you feel ready, slowly 

42
00:08:53,830 --> 00:09:00,150
bring your awareness back to the
breath and allow your eyes to 

43
00:09:00,150 --> 00:09:06,440
open. 
Take a few deep breaths in 

44
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,600
through the nose and out through
the mouth. 

45
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

46
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,640
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

47
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,520
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
