1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,880
There are always things to enjoy
and to give thanks for. 

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Maybe it's a cup of coffee, 
maybe it's a breeze, a sunset, a

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,320
back porch swing, or connecting 
with an old friend. 

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,640
Life does not have to be 
complicated to be enjoyable. 

5
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,680
When you feel ready, go ahead 
and get comfortable in your 

6
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:36,680
position, really allowing the 
body to relax. 

7
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,080
And when you're ready, let your 
eyes slowly close. 

8
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,480
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,000
The Lord is my best friend and 
my shepherd. 

10
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:12,920
I always have more than enough. 
And again, the Lord is my best 

11
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,040
friend and my shepherd. 
I always have more than enough. 

12
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Bring your attention to any 
emotions you're carrying with 

13
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:50,740
you. 
Not engaging with your feelings,

14
00:01:52,540 --> 00:02:04,610
just noticing them. 
Almost like you're observing 

15
00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:09,009
your emotions and then letting 
them go. 

16
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Just like loosening your grip, 
you're letting go of those 

17
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:36,870
feelings. 
Let God handle whatever is out 

18
00:02:36,870 --> 00:02:49,510
of your control. 
This is a place of acceptance 

19
00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:58,390
and safety. 
You can always find rest in God.

20
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Now begin to notice how your 
body feels. 

21
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:22,880
When it feels comfortable, begin
to consciously relax the body, 

22
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,660
scanning down from your head to 
your toes. 

23
00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:38,860
Release any areas of tension in 
the body. 

24
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:57,680
Surrender all of your stress and
all of your responsibilities and

25
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:15,740
just let your mind rest. 
You are safe. 

26
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:37,320
God is looking out for you. 
Now bring your attention to your

27
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:46,620
breath. 
Just a soft, easy awareness. 

28
00:04:55,340 --> 00:05:01,980
Notice what it feels like as air
passes in through the nose and 

29
00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:19,240
then back out through the mouth.
Let the breath bring life to 

30
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:36,400
your body. 
Begin to listen to the sound of 

31
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:48,310
your breath, listening to the 
inhale and the exhale. 

32
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:08,800
On the next exhale, allow the 
breath to relax and become 

33
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:33,800
natural. 
Allow your breath to bring 

34
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:44,900
renewal to your body. 
You're making space to notice 

35
00:06:44,900 --> 00:07:01,620
God's presence in your life. 
When it feels comfortable, bring

36
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:16,640
your attention to the heartbeat.
Allow that rhythm and stillness 

37
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,200
to enter every part of your 
body. 

38
00:07:37,180 --> 00:07:40,900
Feel the presence of God in this
space. 

39
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:50,180
Let go of control and rest into 
the arms of God. 

40
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:11,120
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord is my best friend and 

41
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,880
my shepherd. 
I always have more than enough. 

42
00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:33,900
Softly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body, back

43
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:37,179
to that feeling of weight in the
body. 

44
00:08:38,140 --> 00:08:44,520
And when you're ready, slowly 
open your eyes and take a big 

45
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:49,520
deep breath in. 
Take a moment to check in and 

46
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,680
notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

47
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:59,680
present. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

48
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:03,000
another day of hope. 
Take care.
