1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,680
Life can bring you down roads 
that pull you away from God, but

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,360
you're never so far away that 
you're beyond His reach. 

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,720
If you're feeling a little lost 
today, or maybe in need of some 

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:21,600
direction, allow yourself to 
rest and trust that God's hand 

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:33,640
is at work in your life. 
OK, let's begin by consciously 

6
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:42,120
relaxing the body, and when 
you're ready, allow your eyes to

7
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:49,720
slowly close as your body begins
to settle. 

8
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,400
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:04,239
The Goodman does not escape all 
troubles, he has them too, but 

10
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,680
the Lord helps him in each and 
everyone. 

11
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:22,990
And again, the good man does not
escape all troubles, he has them

12
00:01:22,990 --> 00:01:27,550
too. 
But the Lord helps him in each 

13
00:01:27,550 --> 00:01:44,640
and everyone. 
With an easy awareness, bring 

14
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,680
your attention to the space in 
the room. 

15
00:01:54,980 --> 00:02:07,540
Just noticing the space. 
With an easy curiosity, notice 

16
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:18,890
your place in the room. 
Feel the weight of your body in 

17
00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:28,840
the chair. 
Feel the air on your skin. 

18
00:02:35,060 --> 00:02:37,660
Listen to the sounds in the 
room. 

19
00:02:41,460 --> 00:02:45,420
Maybe it's quiet in the room, 
maybe it's not. 

20
00:02:46,980 --> 00:03:02,400
Both are OK. 
You're just listening and 

21
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:13,830
welcoming the sounds as part of 
the exercise, not wishing to 

22
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:20,150
change the sounds, just 
accepting the sounds as they are

23
00:03:30,950 --> 00:03:37,630
when it feels natural. 
Slowly bring your awareness to 

24
00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:48,560
the breath. 
Allow your breath to be a 

25
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,000
reminder to stay in this present
moment. 

26
00:04:01,070 --> 00:04:06,750
If your mind begins to wander, 
you can always come back to the 

27
00:04:06,750 --> 00:04:25,480
feeling of the breath. 
Relax and let your body honor 

28
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:31,400
the natural calm that only comes
from the presence of a loving 

29
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:50,380
God. 
With ease, bring your attention 

30
00:04:50,820 --> 00:05:05,740
to the breath. 
Take a few nice deep breaths. 

31
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,560
Make them feel easy and 
effortless. 

32
00:05:31,650 --> 00:05:40,770
Feel life enter your body as you
breathe in and then release your

33
00:05:40,770 --> 00:06:07,280
tension as you breathe out. 
Inhale, feel how the body 

34
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:17,280
expands, then slowly exhale, 
feeling the body fall. 

35
00:06:29,510 --> 00:06:36,870
Feel the air as it travels in 
through the nose and follow the 

36
00:06:36,870 --> 00:06:50,040
air back out through the mouth. 
Allow each breath to soften the 

37
00:06:50,040 --> 00:07:01,570
chest and relax the shoulders. 
Begin to scan the body from the 

38
00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:09,490
head to the toe, relaxing the 
body piece by piece. 

39
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:38,200
There's no way to do this wrong.
And now, for a few moments, 

40
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,440
allow your mind to do what it 
wants to do. 

41
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:54,800
If it wants to think then let it
think, and if it wants to rest 

42
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:12,560
then let it rest. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,320
The good man does not escape all
troubles, he has them too. 

44
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,480
But the Lord helps him in each 
and everyone. 

45
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:46,320
Allow your awareness to slowly 
come back to your body and when 

46
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,040
it feels natural, begin to open 
your eyes. 

47
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,360
Sit back in your chair. 
Maybe you want to stretch a 

48
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,040
little bit. 
Do whatever feels good. 

49
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,120
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

50
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:10,200
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,320
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
