1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,039
Frustration and depression are 
natural emotions in life it can 

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,400
sometimes feel like you've 
reached the. 

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,400
End of your rope. 
And you're out of options. 

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,720
Maybe it's in regards to your 
job or your relationship. 

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:26,480
Or maybe. 
Even with yourself, life can be 

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,400
hard and it's normal to feel 
this way at times. 

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:38,160
In times like this, even if you 
can't see a way out, it doesn't 

8
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:42,160
mean there isn't 1. 
As. 

9
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:47,440
You rest into this meditation, 
allow yourself to let go of your

10
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,360
expectations and let God lead 
you in a direction of hope. 

11
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:05,800
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable and taking a few 

12
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:14,000
deep breaths. 
As you begin to feel your body 

13
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,840
releasing, allow your eyes to 
slowly close. 

14
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,680
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

15
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,960
You're blessed. 
When you're at the end of your 

16
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,960
rope. 
With less of you. 

17
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:47,910
There is more of God. 
And again. 

18
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:53,230
You're blessed. 
When you're at the end of your 

19
00:01:53,230 --> 00:01:56,030
rope. 
With less of you. 

20
00:01:56,630 --> 00:02:12,840
There's more of God. 
Bring your attention to any 

21
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:22,320
tightness in the body, just 
noticing how the body feels. 

22
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:38,700
Start by relaxing the hands, 
letting go of any tension in the

23
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:50,040
hands. 
Allow the arms to totally relax,

24
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,960
letting go at the elbows and the
wrists. 

25
00:03:03,090 --> 00:03:06,850
Let the shoulders fall away from
the ears. 

26
00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:28,660
Let the legs become heavy. 
Allow the muscles to completely 

27
00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:43,280
let go. 
Let your body totally relax and 

28
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:57,530
release. 
And now if it feels comfortable,

29
00:03:58,570 --> 00:04:04,930
take a big deep breath, letting 
the air fill up the body. 

30
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Feel the chest rise on the 
inhale and fall on the exhale. 

31
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,120
Notice how the breath changes 
the way the body feels. 

32
00:04:45,150 --> 00:04:54,350
And now, for a moment or two, 
let go of any focus and just 

33
00:04:54,350 --> 00:05:18,880
allow yourself to be. 
Now let's take some nice deep 

34
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:25,760
breaths in through the nose and 
out through the mouth, 

35
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:46,520
just noticing and observing the 
breath, watching the rise and 

36
00:05:46,520 --> 00:06:04,480
the fall of the chest. 
Listen to the gentle sound of 

37
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:25,510
your breathing. 
Begin to notice any feelings you

38
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:41,130
may have brought with you today.
Thoughts are a natural part of 

39
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:48,850
meditation. 
Just leave those feelings right 

40
00:06:48,850 --> 00:06:55,520
where they are and then gently 
come back to the feeling of the 

41
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:15,940
breath. 
Long, deep inhale, then a slow 

42
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:30,980
controlled exhale. 
Allow the breath to calm the 

43
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:47,120
mind and relax the body. 
And now allow your awareness to 

44
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:56,160
fall and move inward, finding 
that place where you feel loved.

45
00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:09,790
Feel that natural peace in God's
presence. 

46
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:26,280
Remember, when you come near to 
God, He will come near to you. 

47
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:46,100
Take this verse with you. 
You're blessed. 

48
00:08:46,180 --> 00:08:47,900
When you're at the end of your 
rope. 

49
00:08:49,180 --> 00:08:52,340
With less of you, there's. 
More of God. 

50
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:10,760
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of your breath. 

51
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:17,600
Listen to the sound of your 
breathing and when you're ready,

52
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:25,480
slowly open your eyes and take 
another deep breath in. 

53
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,440
Give yourself a stretch and sit 
back and relax. 

54
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,000
Remember to take a moment to 
check in and notice how you 

55
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,240
feel. 
I hope you feel better. 

56
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:46,440
Take care and we'll see you 
again to Morrow with hope, 

57
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,840
mindfulness, and prayer.
