1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,520
Whatever the day may bring, know
that God is on your side. 

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:11,880
Whether the day is good or bad, 
God is on your side. 

3
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:18,280
Whether things are going perfect
or everything's falling apart, 

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:25,280
God is on your side. 
Regardless of what happens, God 

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,880
is always on your side and that 
is enough. 

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,240
OK, let's go ahead and get 
started by getting comfortable 

7
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,960
in your chair. 
And when you're ready, take a 

8
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:53,600
few nice deep breaths and allow 
your eyes to slowly close. 

9
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,920
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

10
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,080
The Lord is close to the broken 
hearted. 

11
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,200
He rescues those whose spirits 
are crushed. 

12
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:26,860
And again, the Lord is close to 
the broken hearted. 

13
00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:32,540
He rescues those whose spirits 
are crushed. 

14
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,480
Now consciously begin to relax 
your muscles. 

15
00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:06,220
Feel the weight of gravity on 
your body as the chair holds you

16
00:02:06,220 --> 00:02:22,010
up. 
Begin to notice how the body 

17
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:37,080
feels. 
Just scanning the body from the 

18
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:51,380
head down to the toes, 
consciously relaxing any areas 

19
00:02:51,380 --> 00:03:04,930
of tightness or tension. 
Take a few big deep breaths in. 

20
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:15,310
Notice how the breath changes 
the body. 

21
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:31,600
Just relaxing and releasing, 
allowing your body to totally 

22
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:43,190
let go. 
If the thoughts take you away, 

23
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:48,910
that's OK. 
Thoughts are a normal part of 

24
00:03:48,910 --> 00:03:53,630
meditation. 
You aren't holding on to the 

25
00:03:53,630 --> 00:04:00,480
thoughts or the feelings, you're
just allowing them to bubble up 

26
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:08,760
and out. 
You're releasing those thoughts 

27
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:26,090
to God. 
Now, for a moment or two, allow 

28
00:04:26,090 --> 00:04:30,490
your awareness to rest deeper 
into God's love. 

29
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:58,720
Now bring your attention to the 
way the breath feels and take a 

30
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:13,170
few deep breaths. 
Gently expand the chest on the 

31
00:05:13,170 --> 00:05:20,090
inhale and then let the body 
soften on the exhale. 

32
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,200
With each breath, there's new 
life entering the body. 

33
00:05:56,130 --> 00:06:00,410
As you breathe, begin to soften 
the body. 

34
00:06:01,370 --> 00:06:15,290
Starting at the top of the head.
Allow the shoulders to fall away

35
00:06:15,290 --> 00:06:27,130
from the ears. 
Now gently bring your awareness 

36
00:06:27,530 --> 00:06:53,580
to the space around the body. 
Feel the air on the skin, notice

37
00:06:53,580 --> 00:07:16,150
the temperature of the air, 
and now gently move your 

38
00:07:16,150 --> 00:07:33,400
awareness to the heartbeat. 
Allow the rhythm of the 

39
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:53,340
heartbeat to relax the body. 
Let your awareness rest deeper 

40
00:07:53,780 --> 00:08:03,070
in the presence of God. 
Simply let go. 

41
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:24,480
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord is close to the broken 

42
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,320
hearted. 
He rescues those whose spirits 

43
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:46,290
are crushed. 
Gently bring your awareness back

44
00:08:46,290 --> 00:08:55,640
to the body and when you feel 
ready, slowly open your eyes and

45
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,440
take a nice deep breath. 
Sit back and relax for a moment.

46
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,760
How do you feel? 
I hope you feel a little better.

47
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,360
We'll see you next time with 
hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
