1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,720
In life, we could all use a 
second chance. 

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,080
It's not unusual to screw things
up the first time around, 

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,800
especially with relationships 
and life choices. 

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:21,480
God is a God of second chances. 
If your heart's still beating, 

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,640
God has a plan for you. 
No matter what has happened in 

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,720
the past, God is there offering 
you a second chance. 

7
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,560
With God, it is always a new 
day. 

8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,640
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

9
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:55,600
in your chair and when you're 
ready, take a few nice deep 

10
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:02,080
breaths and allow your eyes to 
slowly close. 

11
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:12,240
As your body begins to settle, 
take a moment to consider this 

12
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,640
verse. 
With God, everything is 

13
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:31,520
possible. 
And again, with God, everything 

14
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:52,230
is possible. 
Now consciously begin to relax 

15
00:01:52,230 --> 00:02:03,770
your muscles. 
Feel the weight of gravity on 

16
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:07,330
your body as the chair holds you
up. 

17
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Begin to notice how the body 
feels 

18
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:40,120
just scanning the body from the 
head down to the toes, 

19
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:54,070
consciously relaxing any areas 
of tightness or tension. 

20
00:03:02,660 --> 00:03:15,280
Take a few big deep breaths in. 
Notice how the breath changes 

21
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:31,590
the body just relaxing and 
releasing, allowing your body to

22
00:03:31,590 --> 00:03:43,940
totally let go. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

23
00:03:44,660 --> 00:03:49,660
that's OK. 
Thoughts are a normal part of 

24
00:03:49,660 --> 00:03:54,360
meditation. 
You aren't holding on to the 

25
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:01,240
thoughts or the feelings, you're
just allowing them to bubble up 

26
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:09,520
and out. 
You're releasing those thoughts 

27
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:26,840
to God. 
Now, for a moment or two, allow 

28
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:31,240
your awareness to rest deeper 
into God's love. 

29
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:59,480
Now bring your attention to the 
way the breath feels and take a 

30
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:13,930
few deep breaths. 
Gently expand the chest on the 

31
00:05:13,930 --> 00:05:20,890
inhale and then let the body 
soften on the exhale. 

32
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,960
With each breath, there's new 
life entering the body. 

33
00:05:56,870 --> 00:06:01,190
As you breathe, begin to soften 
the body. 

34
00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:16,060
Starting at the top of the head.
Allow the shoulders to fall away

35
00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:27,860
from the ears. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

36
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:46,560
to the space around the body. 
Feel the air on the skin. 

37
00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:56,290
Notice the temperature of the 
air. 

38
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:19,280
And now gently move your 
awareness to the heartbeat. 

39
00:07:32,350 --> 00:07:37,230
Allow the rhythm of the 
heartbeat to relax the body. 

40
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,240
Let your awareness rest deeper 
in the presence of God. 

41
00:08:01,580 --> 00:08:22,120
Simply let go. 
Take this verse with you, With 

42
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,080
God. 
Everything is possible. 

43
00:08:37,809 --> 00:08:45,050
Gently bring your awareness back
to the body and when you feel 

44
00:08:45,050 --> 00:08:52,370
ready, slowly open your eyes and
take a nice deep breath. 

45
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:58,680
Sit back and relax for a moment.
How do you feel? 

46
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:07,200
I hope you feel a little better.
We'll see you next time with 

47
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,000
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
