1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,600
As you go through life, you will
grow and change. 

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
You will become more like the 
people and things you spend your

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,200
time with. 
If you focus on the approval of 

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,800
others, your thoughts will be 
consumed by what others think. 

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,800
But by spending time with God, 
you can become more like Him. 

6
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,200
His love and acceptance for you 
will become your love and 

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,640
acceptance for others. 
Rest with that today as you 

8
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:51,160
relax into this meditation. 
OK, let's go ahead and get 

9
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:56,240
started by taking a moment to 
notice your breath. 

10
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,519
Just the rise and the fall of 
the chest. 

11
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,080
And when you're ready, let your 
eyes close like the sunsets. 

12
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,760
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

13
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:33,360
The fruit of the Spirit is 
Lovejoy, Peace, forbearance, 

14
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,800
kindness, goodness, 
faithfulness. 

15
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:55,730
And again, the fruit of the 
Spirit is Lovejoy, peace, 

16
00:01:56,530 --> 00:02:03,210
forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness. 

17
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,760
When it feels comfortable, go 
ahead and take a few deep 

18
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:38,880
breaths in nice and easy. 
Let the breath settle and become

19
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:49,840
natural and bring your attention
to the space in the room, not 

20
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:56,720
thinking too hard about it, just
becoming aware of your body and 

21
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:16,780
your surroundings. 
Notice the air on the skin, feel

22
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:28,280
the chair beneath you. 
Pay attention to the position of

23
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,960
your body. 
Make sure that you're 

24
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:46,360
comfortable. 
Notice the state of your mind. 

25
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Does the mind feel calm? 
Does it feel restless? 

26
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:08,240
Both are OK, just a simple easy 
noticing. 

27
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,520
Just noticing the space, almost 
like you're an observer. 

28
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:39,120
Notice the gentle sound of your 
breath coming in and going out, 

29
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:54,100
deepening the inhales and 
extending the exhales, letting 

30
00:04:54,100 --> 00:05:08,440
the body rest. 
Just relax, 

31
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,880
keeping your eyes closed, bring 
your awareness to the space 

32
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:46,320
around the room, 
just noticing the sounds in the 

33
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,520
room and the sensations on the 
body. 

34
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,680
Welcome these sensations as part
of the practice. 

35
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,640
When it feels comfortable, take 
some nice deep breaths. 

36
00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:57,960
Real easy deep breaths. 
Now begin to slow down the 

37
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:11,480
inhale, long, slow, deep 
inhalation, and then let the 

38
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:23,600
breath out and relax again. 
Take another long, slow, deep 

39
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:30,640
breath in filling up the body, 
and then let the exhale come 

40
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:43,310
naturally. 
With each breath, let your mind 

41
00:07:43,310 --> 00:07:58,720
relax, 
allow your feelings to release 

42
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:22,040
and become a prayer to God. 
Now for a few moments, let go of

43
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,480
the focused attention and let 
your awareness rest. 

44
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:47,520
You are loved. 
Take this verse with you. 

45
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:57,160
The fruit of the Spirit is 
Lovejoy, peace, forbearance, 

46
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,680
kindness, goodness, 
faithfulness. 

47
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:22,560
When it feels natural, bring 
your awareness back to the room,

48
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:29,080
just noticing the room with a 
gentle appreciation. 

49
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:35,200
And when you're ready, allow 
your eyes to slowly open. 

50
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,240
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

51
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,600
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

52
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,240
We'll see you again to Morrow 
for another day of hope.
