00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,960
Sometimes when we read the 
Bible, we find ourselves 

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,760
engaging our minds rather than 
our hearts. 

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:16,120
But today, as you listen to this
verse, allow yourself to listen 

4
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,960
with your heart instead of your 
head. 

5
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,000
Feel the verse. 
Allow the verse to rest with 

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
you. 
God's words are a love letter to

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,600
your soul. 
OK, let's begin by getting 

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,440
comfortable and taking a few 
deep breaths. 

9
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:52,720
As you begin to feel your body 
releasing, allow your eyes to 

10
00:00:52,720 --> 00:01:01,280
slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

11
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,400
this verse. 
The heavens declare the glory of

12
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,440
God. 
The skies proclaim the work of 

13
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:23,740
His hands. 
And again the heavens declare 

14
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:29,460
the glory of God. 
The skies proclaim the work of 

15
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:48,280
His hands. 
Let's begin to take note of how 

16
00:01:48,280 --> 00:02:00,010
the body is feeling, not really 
thinking too much about it, just

17
00:02:00,010 --> 00:02:05,050
letting go of those feelings of 
tightness and tension. 

18
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:20,320
When it feels comfortable, take 
a few deep breaths. 

19
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,320
In through the nose and out 
through the mouth. 

20
00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:50,770
Deep breath in, expanding the 
body and filling the chest. 

21
00:02:50,770 --> 00:03:00,290
Up and exhale, feeling the chest
fall and let go. 

22
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:19,200
Take another big deep breath in 
and control the exhale, letting 

23
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,320
it take twice as long as the 
inhale. 

24
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:32,000
With each breath, allow the 
tension to melt away from the 

25
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:50,080
body. 
Now allow your breath to take up

26
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:57,520
a natural rhythm. 
Let the gentle sound of your 

27
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:15,430
breathing relax your mind. 
There is no way to do this 

28
00:04:15,430 --> 00:04:22,150
wrong, just an easy effortless 
awareness. 

29
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:50,040
Letting go 
now bring your attention to the 

30
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:58,440
position of the body. 
Make sure you can breathe in an 

31
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:16,760
open and natural way. 
Allow the chest to open and take

32
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:28,310
a few nice deep breaths. 
Let the breath fill the body up 

33
00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:43,380
with life. 
With each breath, you're 

34
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:46,940
bringing your awareness into 
this moment. 

35
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:06,440
Relax and allow God to speak to 
you in the way that He wants. 

36
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:21,400
Let your thoughts go and allow 
your awareness to rest in this 

37
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:39,160
moment. 
If your thoughts wander off, 

38
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:45,480
that's OK. 
It's natural for the thoughts to

39
00:06:45,480 --> 00:07:04,380
drift 
as best you can. 

40
00:07:05,420 --> 00:07:11,460
Leave those thoughts right where
they are and come back to that 

41
00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:25,800
feeling of your body. 
Our feelings and emotions can 

42
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,880
distract us from the natural 
calm of God's love. 

43
00:07:37,310 --> 00:07:40,030
There isn't anything to 
discover. 

44
00:07:41,750 --> 00:07:58,320
It's always been there. 
This is a safe place. 

45
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:17,070
God loves you. 
Take this verse with you. 

46
00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:21,910
The heavens declare the glory of
God. 

47
00:08:22,990 --> 00:08:26,950
The skies proclaim the work of 
his hands. 

48
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:43,720
Gently bring your awareness back
to the feeling of your breath. 

49
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:50,640
Listen to the sound of your 
breathing and when you're ready,

50
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,520
slowly open your eyes and take 
another deep breath in. 

51
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,480
Give yourself a stretch and sit 
back and relax. 

52
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Remember to take a moment to 
check in and notice how you 

53
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240
feel. 
I hope you feel better. 

54
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,440
Take care and we'll see you 
again to Morrow with hope, 

55
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,840
mindfulness, and prayer.
