1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:07,040
Like a good parent, you may not 
love what your child does, but 

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,120
you will always love who they 
are and what they can become. 

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,000
As Jesus told us, God is our 
Father and He loves us dearly. 

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,560
He forgives you and keeps no 
record of wrongdoing. 

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,960
He knows everything about you 
and loves you completely. 

6
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,480
He has plans for your life and 
sees all the good that is within

7
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:41,080
you. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,920
comfortable and taking a few 
deep breaths. 

9
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:56,200
As you begin to feel your body 
releasing, allow your eyes to 

10
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:04,800
slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,920
this verse. 
Even before He made the world, 

12
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:17,680
God loved us and chose us in 
Christ to be holy and without 

13
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:32,480
fault in His eyes. 
And again, even before he made 

14
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:39,920
the world, God loved us and 
chose us in Christ to be holy 

15
00:01:40,560 --> 00:02:02,040
and without fault in his eyes. 
Now bring your awareness to the 

16
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,480
feelings you brought with you 
today. 

17
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:19,820
Just taking note of your 
emotions and accepting them as 

18
00:02:19,820 --> 00:02:35,340
they are. 
Begin to take a few nice big 

19
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:48,880
breaths. 
With each exhale, you're 

20
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,920
relaxing and letting those 
feelings go. 

21
00:03:02,030 --> 00:03:09,510
Stressful situations are a part 
of life, but you are stronger 

22
00:03:09,510 --> 00:03:31,280
than those feelings. 
Just relaxing and appreciating 

23
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:44,970
the breath on your next inhale. 
Begin to count the breath. 

24
00:03:46,330 --> 00:03:57,330
One on the inhale and two on the
exhale. 3 on the next inhale and

25
00:03:57,330 --> 00:04:05,520
four on the exhale, counting up 
to 10 and then starting over 

26
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:30,880
again. 
Allow your breath to bring life 

27
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:44,650
into your body. 
Let your breath remind you of 

28
00:04:44,650 --> 00:04:48,250
God's calming presence in your 
life. 

29
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:11,080
Now slowly begin to take some 
deep breaths, allowing the body 

30
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:22,620
to open. 
Let the breath relax. 

31
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:25,900
Any areas of tightness in the 
body 

32
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,600
consciously start to turn the 
muscles off. 

33
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,000
Start with the muscles in the 
feet and the legs. 

34
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,520
Allow the feet to be heavy on 
the floor. 

35
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,880
Allow the chest and the back to 
open so the breathing can become

36
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:25,920
deep and natural. 
Soften the shoulders, allow them

37
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:42,250
to fall away from the ears. 
Let the head fall and become 

38
00:06:42,250 --> 00:06:54,780
heavy at the neck. 
Feel the weight of the body and 

39
00:06:54,780 --> 00:06:57,700
how it pushes you down into the 
chair. 

40
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:15,680
When it feels comfortable, bring
your awareness to the sound of 

41
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:22,280
your breath. 
Not changing anything about the 

42
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:39,880
breath, just noticing it. 
Listening to the gentle rhythm 

43
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:57,770
of the inhales and exhales, 
filling the body up with fresh 

44
00:07:57,770 --> 00:08:05,890
air, and then slowly exhaling 
and letting go. 

45
00:08:11,710 --> 00:08:30,040
Let your mind be still. 
Take this verse with you. 

46
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,960
Even before He made the world, 
God loved us and chose us in 

47
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:44,280
Christ to be holy and without 
fault in His eyes. 

48
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,720
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of your breath. 

49
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,600
Listen to the sound of your 
breathing and when you're ready,

50
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:17,480
slowly open your eyes and take 
another deep breath in. 

51
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,440
Give yourself a stretch and sit 
back and relax. 

52
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,960
Remember to take a moment to 
check in and notice how you 

53
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,200
feel. 
I hope you feel better. 

54
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:38,440
Take care and we'll see you 
again tomorrow with hope, 

55
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,800
mindfulness, and prayer.
