1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,440
Sometimes in life things will go
your way and other times they 

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,360
won't. 
It's so easy to feel like God is

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,120
with us when things are good and
He's nowhere to be found. 

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,840
When things are bad. 
We tend to forget that He can 

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,760
see the whole story in a way 
that we never will. 

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,760
We can trust that good or bad, 
God is working for our benefit. 

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:39,040
OK, let's begin by taking a few 
seconds to consciously relax the

8
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:50,280
body, and when you're ready, 
allow your eyes to slowly close.

9
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,760
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

10
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,800
God keeps His promise, and He 
will not allow you to be tested 

11
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,840
beyond your power to remain 
firm. 

12
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,840
And again, God keeps His promise
and He will not allow you to be 

13
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,640
tested beyond your power to 
remain firm. 

14
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:52,360
In your own time, take a few 
nice deep breaths in through the

15
00:01:52,360 --> 00:02:05,350
nose and out through the mouth. 
Allow the body to let go a 

16
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:08,669
little bit more with each 
exhale. 

17
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:23,040
Feel the face and the neck 
softening as your body begins to

18
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:33,990
relax. 
Notice how your breath softens 

19
00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:48,570
and relaxes the body. 
Come to that sense of weight in 

20
00:02:48,570 --> 00:02:55,010
the body, allowing the chair to 
hold the body up. 

21
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:08,520
Relax the arms all the way down 
to the hands. 

22
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:21,720
Allow the legs to become heavy, 
relaxing all the way down to the

23
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:31,260
toes. 
Feel the muscles softening. 

24
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Allow the natural rhythm of the 
breath to relax the body. 

25
00:03:52,330 --> 00:03:56,450
Notice the rise and the fall of 
the chest. 

26
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:10,730
Just noticing how good it feels 
just to breathe. 

27
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:30,080
And now, for a moment or two, 
let your awareness be free. 

28
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:48,600
Let it rest. 
Bring your attention to the 

29
00:04:48,600 --> 00:05:04,700
feeling of the breath. 
Let it settle into a natural 

30
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:31,880
rhythm, effortless and easy. 
Notice how good it feels just to

31
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:48,960
breathe 
with each inhale, Let your body 

32
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:59,880
fill up with new life. 
With each exhale, release and 

33
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:19,280
let your body relax. 
Feel your feet on the floor and 

34
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,320
the weight of your body in the 
chair. 

35
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:44,980
Now gently bring your attention 
to your emotions, just noticing 

36
00:06:44,980 --> 00:06:48,300
the feelings that you brought 
with you today. 

37
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:04,000
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them. 

38
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:18,800
As an observer, remember that 
you can leave those feelings 

39
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:30,660
right where they are. 
Just allow those thoughts to 

40
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:50,000
bubble up and out. 
Remember, today is a new day 

41
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:57,960
with new opportunities. 
God is working in your life. 

42
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:19,320
Take this verse with you. 
God keeps His promise, and He 

43
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,040
will not allow you to be tested 
beyond your power to remain 

44
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:41,080
firm. 
When you feel ready, slowly 

45
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:47,360
bring your awareness back to the
breath and allow your eyes to 

46
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,640
open. 
Take a few deep breaths in 

47
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,800
through the nose and out through
the mouth. 

48
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:05,680
Notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

49
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:09,840
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow 

50
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,720
with hope, mindfulness, and 
prayer.
