1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,600 Finding peace in the storm can be as simple as looking to God. 2 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:15,440 It's a matter of trust. Jesus slept through the storm 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:21,400 because he wasn't worried. That's what unconditional trust 4 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:31,280 looks like today. As you meditate, allow yourself 5 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:42,560 to let go and fully trust God. OK, let's get started by 6 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:50,360 allowing the body to relax. And when you're ready, let your 7 00:00:50,360 --> 00:01:01,280 eyes close like the sun sets. Take a moment to consider this 8 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,120 verse. Though I am surrounded by 9 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,160 troubles, you will bring me safely through them. 10 00:01:18,780 --> 00:01:25,420 And again, though I am surrounded by troubles, you will 11 00:01:25,420 --> 00:01:44,960 bring me safely through them. Gradually and with ease, bring 12 00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:48,600 your awareness to rest on your breath. 13 00:01:53,560 --> 00:02:02,320 Feel the body rise with each inhale and then allow your 14 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,960 awareness to rest in a little more with each exhale. 15 00:02:17,530 --> 00:02:23,370 Notice how with each breath the body feels a little calmer. 16 00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:39,730 Begin to notice the space around the body. 17 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:52,240 Feel the contact of the body on the chair and your feet on the 18 00:02:52,240 --> 00:03:03,440 floor. When you feel comfortable, begin 19 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,960 to scan the entire body to build up a picture of what the body 20 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:15,040 feels like. Piece by piece. 21 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:25,640 Release any areas of tension. Let go of your stress. 22 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:34,880 Let go of your anxiety. You are exactly where you're 23 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:48,060 meant to be. Allow that natural rhythm of the 24 00:03:48,060 --> 00:04:05,560 breath to relax you. Let your breath guide you to a 25 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,360 place of safety in the presence of God. 26 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,880 You are accepted here. You are loved 27 00:04:39,750 --> 00:04:44,110 with ease. Bring your attention to the 28 00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:56,240 breath. Take a few nice deep breaths. 29 00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:05,430 Make them feel easy and effortless. 30 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:27,760 Feel life enter your body as you breathe in and then release your 31 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:48,260 tension as you breathe out. Inhale, feel how the body 32 00:05:48,260 --> 00:05:58,260 expands, then slowly exhale, feeling the body fall. 33 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:19,840 Feel the air as it travels in through the nose and follow the 34 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:36,010 air back out through the mouth. Allow each breath to soften the 35 00:06:36,010 --> 00:06:53,560 chest and relax the shoulders. Begin to scan the body from the 36 00:06:53,560 --> 00:07:01,480 head to the toe, relaxing the body piece by piece. 37 00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:33,190 There's no way to do this wrong. And now, for a few moments, 38 00:07:34,550 --> 00:07:38,430 allow your mind to do what it wants to do. 39 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:51,080 If it wants to think, then let it think, and if it wants to 40 00:07:51,080 --> 00:08:11,590 rest, then let it rest. Take this verse with you. 41 00:08:14,110 --> 00:08:18,710 Though I am surrounded by troubles, You will bring me 42 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:36,320 safely through them. When you feel ready, slowly 43 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,640 bring your awareness back to the breath and allow your eyes to 44 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,920 open. Take a few deep breaths in 45 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,080 through the nose and out through the mouth. 46 00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:00,960 Notice how you feel. I hope you feel a little more 47 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,120 relaxed. We'll see you again tomorrow 48 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,000 with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
