1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,520
Knowing someone's name is the 
first step towards creating a 

2
00:00:04,520 --> 00:00:09,840
friendship. 
The Bible says that God doesn't 

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,000
just know your name, but He has 
it written on His heart. 

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:24,120
That's an act of true love. 
His thoughts revolve around you.

5
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:33,320
As you spend time in prayer 
today, rest your attention on 

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:41,980
God's love. 
Go ahead and get comfortable in 

7
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:48,220
your position, really allowing 
the body to relax. 

8
00:00:52,060 --> 00:00:57,980
And when you feel ready, let 
your eyes slowly close. 

9
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,760
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

10
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,480
I drew a picture of you on my 
hand. 

11
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:28,930
You are always before my eyes. 
Again I drew a picture of you on

12
00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:34,440
my hand. 
You are always before my eyes. 

13
00:01:46,770 --> 00:01:53,970
Now bring your attention to the 
way the breath feels and take a 

14
00:01:53,970 --> 00:02:08,419
few deep breaths. 
Gently expand the chest on the 

15
00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:15,340
inhale and then let the body 
soften on the exhale. 

16
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,440
With each breath, there's new 
life entering the body. 

17
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:47,960
As you breathe, begin to soften 
the body, starting at the top of

18
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:58,530
the head. 
Allow the shoulders to fall away

19
00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:10,770
from the ears. 
Feel gravity push the body down 

20
00:03:11,170 --> 00:03:22,360
into the chair. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

21
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:42,830
to the space around the body. 
Feel the air on the skin, notice

22
00:03:42,830 --> 00:03:59,370
the temperature of the air, 
and now gently move your 

23
00:03:59,370 --> 00:04:12,640
awareness to the heartbeat. 
Allow the rhythm of the 

24
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:26,110
heartbeat to relax the body. 
Let your awareness rest deeper 

25
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:35,830
in the presence of God. 
Simply let go. 

26
00:04:46,180 --> 00:04:50,420
Bring your attention to any 
tightness in the body. 

27
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,280
Just noticing how the body 
feels. 

28
00:05:15,430 --> 00:05:23,710
Start by relaxing the hands, 
letting go of any tension in the

29
00:05:23,710 --> 00:05:39,000
hands. 
Allow the arms to totally relax,

30
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,920
letting go at the elbows and the
wrists. 

31
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,800
Let the shoulders fall away from
the ears. 

32
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:23,640
Let the legs become heavy. 
Allow the muscles to completely 

33
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:38,320
let go. 
Let your body totally relax and 

34
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:53,720
release. 
And now, if it feels 

35
00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:01,200
comfortable, take a big deep 
breath, letting the air fill up 

36
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:16,890
the body. 
Feel the chest rise on the 

37
00:07:16,890 --> 00:07:38,360
inhale and fall on the exhale. 
Notice how the breath changes 

38
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:53,900
the way the body feels. 
And now, for a moment or two, 

39
00:07:55,180 --> 00:08:02,420
let go of any focus and just 
allow yourself to be. 

40
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,400
Take this verse with you and 
drew a picture of you on my 

41
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,560
hand. 
You are always before my eyes. 

42
00:08:39,750 --> 00:08:46,870
Softly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body, back

43
00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:50,150
to that feeling of weight in the
body. 

44
00:08:51,110 --> 00:08:57,520
And when you're ready, slowly 
open your eyes and take a big 

45
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,480
deep breath in. 
Take a moment to check in and 

46
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,640
notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

47
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,640
present. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

48
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,960
another day of hope. 
Take care.
