1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:08,560
In time, everything will pass. 
That can be hard to accept when 

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,040
you're in the middle of a storm,
but it's true. 

3
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,800
If you're struggling, know that 
you're not alone. 

4
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:36,320
This will eventually pass. 
OK, let's begin by consciously 

5
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:44,800
relaxing the body, and when 
you're ready, allow your eyes to

6
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:52,440
slowly close. 
As your body begins to settle, 

7
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,080
take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

8
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,440
This is my command, be strong 
and courageous. 

9
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:15,320
Do not be afraid or discouraged,
for the Lord your God is with 

10
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:30,650
you wherever you go. 
And again, this is my command. 

11
00:01:31,850 --> 00:01:39,720
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid or discouraged,

12
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:47,200
for the Lord your God is with 
you wherever you go. 

13
00:01:59,410 --> 00:02:03,090
Bring your attention to the 
feeling of the breath. 

14
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Let it settle into a natural 
rhythm, effortless and easy. 

15
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,440
Notice how good it feels just to
breathe 

16
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:50,600
with each inhale, Let your body 
fill up with new life. 

17
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:00,800
With each exhale, release and 
let your body relax. 

18
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:17,760
Feel your feet on the floor and 
the weight of your body in the 

19
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:32,730
chair. 
Now gently bring your attention 

20
00:03:33,450 --> 00:03:43,250
to your emotions, just noticing 
the feelings that you brought 

21
00:03:43,250 --> 00:03:56,680
with you today. 
Not engaging with the emotions, 

22
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:12,640
just noticing them. 
As an observer, remember that 

23
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,680
you can leave those feelings 
right where they are. 

24
00:04:22,450 --> 00:04:28,890
Just allow those thoughts to 
bubble up and out. 

25
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Remember, today is a new day 
with new opportunities. 

26
00:04:47,920 --> 00:05:05,060
God is working in your life 
with an easy awareness. 

27
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:09,700
Bring your attention to the 
space in the room. 

28
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,440
Just noticing the space with an 
easy curiosity. 

29
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:53,380
Notice your place in the room. 
Feel the air on your skin. 

30
00:06:03,580 --> 00:06:06,180
Listen to the sounds in the 
room. 

31
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:13,900
Maybe it's quiet in the room, 
maybe it's not. 

32
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:28,890
Both are OK. 
You're just listening and 

33
00:06:28,890 --> 00:06:40,350
welcoming the sounds as part of 
the exercise, not wishing to 

34
00:06:40,350 --> 00:06:46,190
change the sounds, just 
accepting the sounds as they 

35
00:06:46,190 --> 00:07:11,960
are. 
When it feels natural, slowly 

36
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,720
bring your awareness to the 
breath. 

37
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Allow your breath to be a 
reminder to stay in this present

38
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:44,280
moment. 
If your mind begins to wander, 

39
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,280
you can always come back to the 
feeling of the breath. 

40
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,720
Relax and let your body honor 
the natural calm that only comes

41
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,480
from the presence of a loving 
God. 

42
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:35,140
Take this verse with you. 
This is my command. 

43
00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:44,260
Be strong and courageous. 
Do not be afraid or discouraged,

44
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:51,720
for the Lord your God is with 
you wherever you go. 

45
00:09:03,260 --> 00:09:10,540
Allow your awareness to slowly 
come back to your body and when 

46
00:09:10,540 --> 00:09:15,260
it feels natural, begin to open 
your eyes. 

47
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:21,580
Sit back in your chair. 
Maybe you want to stretch a 

48
00:09:21,580 --> 00:09:25,280
little bit. 
Do whatever feels good. 

49
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,360
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

50
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,400
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,560
We'll see you again to Morrow 
for another day of hope.
