1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,040
Stress creates a false reality. 
Stress tricks us into believing 

2
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:12,600
that everything has to happen 
now, but faith reassures us that

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,560
everything happens in God's 
time. 

4
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,360
As you go through the day, 
remember there's no need to hit 

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,120
the panic button. 
God has it all under control and

6
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:33,720
you are loved. 
When you feel ready, go ahead 

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:40,520
and get comfortable in your 
position, really allowing the 

8
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:48,640
body to relax. 
And when you're ready, let your 

9
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:57,520
eyes slowly close. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:03,480
verse. 
By your mighty power, I can walk

11
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,680
through any devastation, and you
will keep me alive. 

12
00:01:15,730 --> 00:01:21,970
And again, by your mighty power,
I can walk through any 

13
00:01:21,970 --> 00:01:25,130
devastation, and you will keep 
me alive. 

14
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,840
Now bring your awareness to the 
feeling of the body. 

15
00:01:52,850 --> 00:01:57,770
Maybe there's some muscle 
tightness or stress lingering in

16
00:01:57,770 --> 00:02:08,860
the body. 
Slowly bring your attention to 

17
00:02:08,860 --> 00:02:15,900
those areas of tightness and 
relax them piece by piece. 

18
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,360
Feel the weight of your body in 
the chair. 

19
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:43,750
As your body begins to relax, 
allow your mind to let go. 

20
00:02:48,390 --> 00:02:52,350
Give yourself permission to 
start fresh. 

21
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:07,560
What is done is done. 
All you have is this moment. 

22
00:03:16,510 --> 00:03:23,630
This is a safe place. 
Release your thoughts to God. 

23
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:49,760
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few nice deep breaths, inhale,

24
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:58,720
feel the chest rise, and exhale,
feel the chest fall. 

25
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:16,550
There's no way to do this wrong.
If the thoughts take you away, 

26
00:04:17,950 --> 00:04:23,870
that's OK. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

27
00:04:23,870 --> 00:04:28,270
your awareness back to the 
feeling of the breath. 

28
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,920
Let's take a few nice deep 
breaths. 

29
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:08,920
Allow your breath to fill the 
body up and then relax with each

30
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:22,160
out breath. 
With each new breath, allow the 

31
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,040
chest to open and the body to 
relax. 

32
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Let go of any tension in your 
body. 

33
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,480
Just focus your attention on the
breath. 

34
00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:00,720
Deep breaths in through the nose
and out through the mouth. 

35
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,280
And when it feels comfortable, 
begin to count the breath. 

36
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:30,440
One on the inhale and two on the
exhale, three on the next inhale

37
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:40,240
and four on the next exhale, 
counting up to 10 and then 

38
00:06:40,240 --> 00:07:07,660
starting over again. 
Now let go of the counting and 

39
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:11,420
bring your attention to the 
sound of your breathing. 

40
00:07:18,990 --> 00:07:26,670
Just a nice soft focus on the 
air coming in and the air going 

41
00:07:26,670 --> 00:07:42,160
out. 
Just relaxing and releasing. 

42
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Allow your awareness to rest 
with the breath. 

43
00:08:10,820 --> 00:08:17,980
Take this verse with you. 
By your mighty power, I can walk

44
00:08:17,980 --> 00:08:22,180
through any devastation, and you
will keep me alive. 

45
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,159
Softly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body, back

46
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:45,440
to that feeling of weight in the
body. 

47
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:52,800
And when you're ready, slowly 
open your eyes and take a big 

48
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:58,760
deep breath in. 
Take a moment to check in and 

49
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,960
notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

50
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,920
present. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

51
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,240
another day of hope. 
Take care.
