1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:15,890
Begin by taking a few nice deep 
breaths and as your body begins 

2
00:00:15,890 --> 00:00:21,890
to relax, allow your eyes to 
slowly close. 

3
00:00:29,190 --> 00:00:34,550
Bring your awareness to rest 
with this verse and prayer. 

4
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:43,600
In My Distress I called to the 
Lord, and He answered me. 

5
00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:57,750
And again in my distress, I 
called to the Lord, and He 

6
00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:12,470
answered me. 
Bring your attention to the 

7
00:01:12,470 --> 00:01:23,350
heartbeat. 
Allow its rhythm to relax your 

8
00:01:23,350 --> 00:01:32,160
body, letting the arms and legs 
become heavy. 

9
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:52,090
Now bring your awareness to the 
top of the head. 

10
00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:59,810
Allow the head to soften all the
way down the face. 

11
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:18,640
Softening the skin on the face 
and the eyes, 

12
00:02:34,780 --> 00:02:39,500
soften the throat and the back 
of the neck. 

13
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:10,640
Soften the collar bone, the 
shoulders and the arms, 

14
00:03:21,260 --> 00:03:40,120
releasing the elbows. 
Let the wrists and the hands 

15
00:03:40,480 --> 00:04:01,260
relax, 
softening the chest and the 

16
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:16,630
stomach, 
releasing the hips and the 

17
00:04:16,630 --> 00:04:34,160
thighs, the knees. 
Relax the calves down to the 

18
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:50,530
ankles. 
Bring your attention back to the

19
00:04:50,530 --> 00:05:17,520
breath. 
Just noticing the inhale and the

20
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:50,240
exhale. 
Release your anxieties and 

21
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:59,280
worries to God. 
Let go of that stress. 

22
00:06:05,900 --> 00:06:28,000
Let go of your grip on control. 
Take a big deep breath in. 

23
00:06:39,140 --> 00:06:47,060
Release your stress. 
Let go of your frustrations. 

24
00:06:58,130 --> 00:07:12,800
Let it all go on the exhale. 
We aren't holding on to the 

25
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,600
thoughts, we're just letting 
them release 

26
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:37,460
now. 
Bring your awareness to the way 

27
00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:55,750
the body feels. 
Allow yourself to sink into your

28
00:07:55,750 --> 00:08:05,840
chair or your bed. 
Let the body relax and release 

29
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:26,180
when it feels comfortable. 
Bring your attention to the 

30
00:08:26,180 --> 00:08:41,510
heart. 
Feel the heartbeat, just 

31
00:08:41,710 --> 00:08:58,280
noticing it. 
Allow that natural rhythm and 

32
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:18,910
stillness to relax the body. 
Just notice the way that you 

33
00:09:18,910 --> 00:09:29,510
feel, not trying to change it, 
just accepting it the way that 

34
00:09:29,510 --> 00:09:50,320
it is. 
Allow yourself to relax into the

35
00:09:50,320 --> 00:10:10,970
loving presence of God. 
Take this verse with you. 

36
00:10:13,570 --> 00:10:19,650
In my distress I called to the 
Lord, and He answered me. 

37
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,080
God, I know you're always with 
me. 

38
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,920
Thank you for all of your 
blessings. 

39
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Help me to relax and let go in 
your presence. 

40
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,360
I trust your plan for my life.
