1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,520
The Bible says that you were 
made in God's image. 

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,240
This means that all of your 
thoughts and feelings and fears 

3
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,760
aren't foreign to Him. 
He understands. 

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,720
In fact, he understands so much 
that he doesn't even judge you 

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,080
for them. 
He knows what you are thinking 

6
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:41,160
and feeling. 
Today, as you meditate, remember

7
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:45,640
that you are understood because 
God sees Himself in you. 

8
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:57,790
OK, let's begin by getting 
comfortable and taking a few 

9
00:00:57,790 --> 00:01:05,960
deep breaths. 
As you begin to feel your body 

10
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:11,800
releasing, allow your eyes to 
slowly close. 

11
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,680
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

12
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:38,560
You are precious to me. 
And again, you are precious to 

13
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:54,870
me. 
With ease, bring your attention 

14
00:01:55,310 --> 00:02:06,740
to the breath. 
Take a few nice deep breaths. 

15
00:02:11,140 --> 00:02:15,060
Make them feel easy and 
effortless. 

16
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:38,280
Feel life enter your body as you
breathe in and then release your

17
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:58,790
tension as you breathe out. 
Inhale, feel how the body 

18
00:02:58,790 --> 00:03:08,790
expands, then slowly exhale, 
feeling the body fall. 

19
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,360
Feel the air as it travels in 
through the nose and follow the 

20
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:41,510
air back out through the mouth. 
Allow each breath to soften the 

21
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:51,070
chest and relax the shoulders. 
Begin to scan the body from the 

22
00:03:51,070 --> 00:03:58,960
head to the toe, relaxing the 
body piece by piece. 

23
00:04:05,150 --> 00:04:19,680
There's no way to do this wrong.
And now, for a few moments, 

24
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,920
allow your mind to do what it 
wants to do. 

25
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:36,320
If it wants to think then let it
think, and if it wants to rest 

26
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:55,870
then let it rest. 
Bring your attention to any 

27
00:04:55,870 --> 00:05:07,320
tightness in the body, just 
noticing how the body feels. 

28
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:31,720
Start by relaxing the hands, 
letting go of any tension in the

29
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:49,020
hands. 
Allow the arms to totally relax,

30
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:54,940
letting go at the elbows and the
wrists. 

31
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,800
Let the shoulders fall away from
the ears. 

32
00:06:24,650 --> 00:06:39,630
Let the legs become heavy. 
Allow the muscles to completely 

33
00:06:39,630 --> 00:07:00,320
let go. 
Let your body totally relax and 

34
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:18,540
release. 
And now if it feels comfortable,

35
00:07:19,620 --> 00:07:25,940
take a big deep breath, letting 
the air fill up the body. 

36
00:07:35,020 --> 00:07:40,100
Notice how the breath changes 
the way the body feels. 

37
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:06,000
And now for a moment or two, let
go of any focus and just allow 

38
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:23,020
yourself to be. 
Take this verse with you. 

39
00:08:25,620 --> 00:08:44,120
You are precious to me. 
Gently bring your awareness back

40
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,560
to the feeling of your breath. 
Listen to the sound of your 

41
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:59,000
breathing and when you're ready,
slowly open your eyes and take 

42
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:04,440
another deep breath in. 
Give yourself a stretch and sit 

43
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,200
back and relax. 
Remember to take a moment to 

44
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,120
check in and notice how you 
feel. 

45
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,600
I hope you feel better. 
Take care and we'll see you 

46
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,280
again to Morrow with hope, 
mindfulness, and prayer.
