1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,320 Frequently our words say that we trust God, but our actions and 2 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,520 fears tell a different story. As you listen to this 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,880 meditation, trust God with more than just words. 4 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,560 Trust Him with your actions. Act as if God is looking out for 5 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:29,440 you, because He is. OK. 6 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,240 Let's begin by getting comfortable and taking a few 7 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:43,120 nice deep breaths. As you begin to feel your body 8 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,160 releasing, allow your eyes to slowly close. 9 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,640 Take a moment to consider this verse. 10 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,239 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your 11 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:18,850 own understanding. And again, trust in the Lord 12 00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:24,850 with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. 13 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,920 Keeping your eyes closed bring your awareness to the space 14 00:01:47,920 --> 00:02:01,330 around the room. Just noticing the sounds in the 15 00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:05,530 room and the sensations on the body. 16 00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:14,690 Welcome these sensations as part of the practice. 17 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,640 When it feels comfortable, take some nice deep breaths. 18 00:02:42,780 --> 00:03:00,980 Real easy deep breaths. Now begin to slow down the 19 00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:11,860 inhale. Long, slow, deep inhalation, and 20 00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:19,360 then let the breath out and relax again. 21 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:28,240 Take another long, slow, deep breath in, filling up the body, 22 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,640 and then let the exhale come naturally. 23 00:03:38,470 --> 00:03:43,390 With each breath, let your mind relax. 24 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:58,720 Allow your feelings to release and become a prayer to God 25 00:04:12,090 --> 00:04:19,050 now for a few moments. Let go of the focused attention 26 00:04:20,490 --> 00:04:26,850 and let your awareness rest. You are loved. 27 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,880 And now bring your attention to the heartbeat. 28 00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:01,510 Allow its rhythm to relax the body. 29 00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:16,790 As you begin to relax, bring your attention to the weight of 30 00:05:16,790 --> 00:05:37,840 the body. Allow the arms and the legs to 31 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:50,790 become heavy. Allow the face to soften all the 32 00:05:50,790 --> 00:06:00,590 way down through the neck. Soften the skin. 33 00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:11,060 Allow the corners of the eyes to relax. 34 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,920 Let the shoulders fall away from the ears. 35 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:38,580 Release the elbows. Let the wrists and the hands 36 00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:49,520 relax. Soften the chest and the 37 00:06:49,520 --> 00:07:00,870 stomach. Release the hips and the thighs. 38 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Relax the calves all the way down to the ankles. 39 00:07:25,790 --> 00:07:31,870 Allow the entire body to let go and totally relax. 40 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:55,080 There is nowhere to go. You are exactly where you're 41 00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:12,560 supposed to be. Take this verse with you. 42 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,000 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your 43 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:38,240 own understanding. Gently bring your awareness back 44 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,679 to the feeling of your breath. Listen to the sound of your 45 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:53,120 breathing and when you're ready, slowly open your eyes and take 46 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,560 another deep breath in. Give yourself a stretch and sit 47 00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:03,360 back and relax. Remember to take a moment to 48 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,280 check in and notice how you feel. 49 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,760 I hope you feel better. Take care and we'll see you 50 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,480 again to Morrow with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
