1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,960
One of the hard truths of life 
is that lasting peace cannot be 

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,520
found with unforgiveness in our 
hearts. 

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,320
Anger and resentment have a way 
of weighing down our hearts. 

4
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:22,600
That anger may be justified, but
as long as you personally hold 

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,880
onto it, you'll never be able to
truly let go. 

6
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:35,480
As you meditate today, allow God
to work on your heart so that 

7
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:43,320
you can find peace. 
OK, let's get started by 

8
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:51,120
allowing the body to relax. 
And when you're ready, let your 

9
00:00:51,120 --> 00:01:02,040
eyes close like the sunsets. 
Take a moment to consider this 

10
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:08,720
verse. 
The Lord is close to the broken 

11
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,560
hearted. 
He rescues those whose spirits 

12
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:26,400
are crushed. 
And again, the Lord is close to 

13
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,400
the broken hearted. 
He rescues those whose spirits 

14
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:53,400
are crushed. 
Now bring your attention to any 

15
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,000
emotions you're carrying with 
you. 

16
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:08,199
Not engaging with the emotions, 
just noticing them with an easy 

17
00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:29,560
curiosity. 
Now take a few deep breaths and 

18
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,960
allow the body to relax a little
more. 

19
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:50,690
With each exhale, 
with each passing thought, allow

20
00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:55,290
your awareness to rest deeper 
into God's love. 

21
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:20,600
Now begin to deepen the breath. 
Inhale slowly and lengthen the 

22
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:36,060
breath and then exhale, letting 
go of the breath and then right 

23
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:46,560
back into the next inhale. 
Slow it down and make it deep, 

24
00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:57,820
and then exhale. 
Let the body relax. 

25
00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:19,810
Now allow your breath to settle 
and let your mind settle with 

26
00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:35,280
it. 
Give yourself space just to be 

27
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:59,970
who you are, a child of God. 
Keeping your eyes closed bring 

28
00:04:59,970 --> 00:05:03,570
your awareness to the space 
around the room. 

29
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:23,400
Just noticing the sounds in the 
room and the sensations on the 

30
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:37,100
body. 
Welcome these sensations as part

31
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:58,920
of the practice. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

32
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:12,580
some nice deep breaths. 
Real easy deep breaths. 

33
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,720
Now begin to slow down the 
inhale. 

34
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Long, slow, deep inhalation, and
then let the breath out and 

35
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:55,320
relax. 
Again. 

36
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:04,240
Take another long, slow, deep 
breath in filling up the body, 

37
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,640
and then let the exhale come 
naturally. 

38
00:07:16,530 --> 00:07:21,410
With each breath, let your mind 
relax, 

39
00:07:34,740 --> 00:07:40,700
allow your feelings to release 
and become a prayer to God. 

40
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:59,040
Now for a few moments, let go of
the focused attention and let 

41
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:04,800
your awareness rest. 
You are loved. 

42
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:27,240
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord is close to the broken 

43
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,080
hearted. 
He rescues those whose spirits 

44
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:50,640
are crushed. 
Softly begin to bring your 

45
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:57,360
awareness back to the body, back
to that feeling of weight in the

46
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,040
body. 
And when you're ready, slowly 

47
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,680
open your eyes and take a big 
deep breath in. 

48
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,840
Take a moment to check in and 
notice how you feel. 

49
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,240
I hope you feel a little more 
present. 

50
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,720
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope. 

51
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,760
Take care.
