1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,680
God has a plan for your life. 
You can be sure that it's 

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,760
different from the plan you 
expected. 

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,520
Expect the unexpected. 
Do your best to approach 

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:21,280
challenges not as setbacks, but 
as opportunities to change and 

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:29,600
grow in God's plan. 
Let's start by taking a few nice

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:37,520
deep breaths. 
As your breath begins to relax 

7
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,600
your body, allow your eyes to 
close like the sun sets. 

8
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,160
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,360
The Lord your God will fight 
alongside you and help you win 

10
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:12,330
the battle. 
And again, the Lord your God 

11
00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:17,250
will fight alongside you and 
help you win the battle. 

12
00:01:33,250 --> 00:01:40,610
When it feels comfortable. 
Take a few nice deep breaths in 

13
00:01:46,470 --> 00:01:52,880
really making a point to expand 
the body and expand the chest. 

14
00:02:00,590 --> 00:02:03,350
Notice how the breath makes you 
feel. 

15
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Now let the breath begin to 
settle. 

16
00:02:24,590 --> 00:02:30,830
As your breath begins to settle,
allow the body to become heavy. 

17
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400
Notice any sensations in the 
body. 

18
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,800
See if you're holding on to any 
tension. 

19
00:02:52,570 --> 00:02:57,050
Maybe the body is tight, or 
maybe it's not. 

20
00:02:58,810 --> 00:03:12,090
Either is OK, you're just 
scanning the body looking for 

21
00:03:12,090 --> 00:03:16,930
any areas of tightness and 
letting them release. 

22
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,080
And if the mind drifts away in 
thought, slowly bring it back to

23
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,440
the feelings in the body and the
breath. 

24
00:03:44,670 --> 00:03:58,020
Your body knows how to relax. 
You don't have to think about it

25
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:03,460
for it to happen. 
You are simply uncovering the 

26
00:04:03,460 --> 00:04:18,720
calm that was always present. 
Let your awareness rest in the 

27
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:37,660
arms of God 
gradually and with ease. 

28
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:43,580
Bring your awareness to rest on 
your breath. 

29
00:04:51,580 --> 00:05:02,320
Feel the body rise with each 
inhale and then allow your 

30
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:08,960
awareness to rest in a little 
more with each exhale. 

31
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,360
Notice how with each breath, the
body feels a little calmer. 

32
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:43,750
Begin to notice the space around
the body. 

33
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:58,280
Feel the contact of the body on 
the chair and your feet on the 

34
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:17,480
floor. 
When you feel comfortable, begin

35
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:23,000
to scan the entire body to build
up a picture of what the body 

36
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:31,320
feels like. 
Piece by piece, release any 

37
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:43,610
areas of tension. 
Let go of your stress. 

38
00:06:44,490 --> 00:06:52,890
Let go of your anxiety. 
You are exactly where you're 

39
00:06:52,890 --> 00:07:06,070
meant to be. 
Allow that natural rhythm of the

40
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:23,600
breath to relax you. 
Let your breath guide you to a 

41
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:28,400
place of safety in the presence 
of God. 

42
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:48,410
You are accepted here. 
You are loved. 

43
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:10,640
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord your God will fight 

44
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,240
alongside you and help you win 
the battle. 

45
00:08:29,780 --> 00:08:37,059
Allow your awareness to slowly 
come back to your body and when 

46
00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:41,820
it feels natural, begin to open 
your eyes. 

47
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:48,120
Sit back in your chair. 
Maybe you want to stretch a 

48
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,800
little bit. 
Do whatever feels good. 

49
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

50
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,920
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

51
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,040
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
