1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:05,400
Interruptions and detours in 
life are part of God's plan. 

2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:12,640
This may be surprising to hear, 
but what you decide is a detour 

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,680
may have always been your path 
to take. 

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,800
As you meditate today, remember 
that you're walking with God and

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,120
He knows exactly where you're 
going. 

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,360
Let's start by taking a few nice
deep breaths. 

7
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,480
As your breath begins to relax 
your body, allow your eyes to 

8
00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:57,720
close like the sunsets. 
Now take a moment to consider 

9
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:03,240
this verse. 
The Lord is there to rescue all 

10
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,960
who are discouraged and have 
given up hope. 

11
00:01:15,580 --> 00:01:22,060
And again, the Lord is there to 
rescue all who are discouraged 

12
00:01:22,260 --> 00:01:40,440
and have given up hope. 
Now bring your awareness to the 

13
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:51,400
space around the body, not 
really examining it, just 

14
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,360
noticing the space with an easy 
curiosity. 

15
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,400
Notice any sensations on the 
skin. 

16
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:27,310
Feel the clothes on the skin. 
Feel the temperature of the 

17
00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:36,510
room. 
Listen to the sounds in the 

18
00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:47,730
room. 
Just a nice easy focus on the 

19
00:02:47,730 --> 00:03:06,960
sounds in the room. 
Listen to the gentle sound of 

20
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:15,320
your breathing. 
Notice the rise and the fall of 

21
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:33,040
the chest. 
Maybe the breath is shallow or 

22
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,120
maybe it's deep. 
Both are OK. 

23
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,800
Just follow the breath as it 
moves through your body. 

24
00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:00,560
Let the rhythm of your breath 
relax your mind. 

25
00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:20,620
This is a safe place. 
God is watching over you. 

26
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:42,240
Now bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

27
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:55,060
you. 
Not engaging with the emotions, 

28
00:04:56,220 --> 00:05:00,820
just noticing them with an easy 
curiosity. 

29
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:29,880
Now take a few deep breaths and 
allow the body to relax a little

30
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,720
more. 
With each exhale, 

31
00:05:48,980 --> 00:05:55,860
with each passing thought, allow
your awareness to rest deeper 

32
00:05:56,220 --> 00:06:12,280
into God's love. 
Now begin to deepen the breath. 

33
00:06:27,050 --> 00:06:38,290
Inhale slowly and lengthen the 
breath and then exhale, letting 

34
00:06:38,290 --> 00:06:50,840
go of the breath and then right 
back into the next inhale. 

35
00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:09,930
Slow it down and make it deep, 
and then exhale. 

36
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:29,370
Let the body relax. 
Now allow your breath to settle 

37
00:07:30,370 --> 00:07:32,490
and let your mind settle with 
it. 

38
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:51,440
Give yourself space just to be 
who you are, a child of God. 

39
00:08:05,770 --> 00:08:13,170
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord is there to rescue all 

40
00:08:13,170 --> 00:08:16,010
who are discouraged and have 
given up hope. 

41
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:35,760
When it feels easy, bring your 
attention back to the feeling of

42
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:41,600
the breath. 
Take a few more deep breaths and

43
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:49,280
slowly allow your eyes to open. 
Notice how the breath changes 

44
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,040
the way you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

45
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,880
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow. 

46
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,480
Take care of yourself.
