1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:07,120
You were not made to merely 
exist, you were designed with a 

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:14,960
purpose. 
It's natural to feel like you 

3
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:22,520
may not understand that purpose.
Trust that even when you can't 

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,640
fully see, God still has a plan 
for your life. 

5
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:34,160
Allow God to present His plan 
for your life in His time. 

6
00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:47,550
OK, let's get started by 
allowing the body to relax and 

7
00:00:47,550 --> 00:00:53,910
when you're ready, let your eyes
close like the sun sets. 

8
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:01,830
Take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

9
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,320
All the days ordained for me 
were written in your book before

10
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:23,730
one of them came to be. 
And again, all the days ordained

11
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:29,810
for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be. 

12
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:48,440
When it feels natural, let's 
take a nice big breath. 

13
00:01:54,180 --> 00:02:01,460
With each breath, allow the body
to become softer and more 

14
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:11,900
relaxed, almost like a wave of 
relaxation washing over the 

15
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:20,960
body. 
The breath fills up the body, 

16
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:28,640
and then it gives way to that 
natural relaxation that's right 

17
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:44,920
under the surface. 
Now let's turn our awareness to 

18
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:55,400
how the body feels. 
Just examining the body with an 

19
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:07,200
easy curiosity. 
Allow your shoulders to relax 

20
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:16,920
and fall away from the ears. 
Relax your arms and allow your 

21
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:28,400
hands to open and let go. 
Allow your temples and face to 

22
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:36,280
relax. 
Let the throat and the neck 

23
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:45,720
soften. 
Allow your breath to deepen as 

24
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:55,720
your awareness rests deeper, 
just relaxing and releasing. 

25
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:10,920
You are here and everything is 
OK God is with you. 

26
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:28,000
And 
now, for a moment or two, let go

27
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,320
of any focus and allow yourself 
to simply be. 

28
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:54,680
Now let's take some nice deep 
breaths in through the nose and 

29
00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:11,320
out through the mouth, 
just noticing and observing the 

30
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:19,160
breath, watching the rise and 
the fall of the chest. 

31
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Listen to the gentle sound of 
your breathing. 

32
00:05:52,220 --> 00:05:58,220
Begin to notice any feelings you
may have brought with you today.

33
00:06:08,270 --> 00:06:12,030
Thoughts are a natural part of 
meditation. 

34
00:06:16,190 --> 00:06:21,830
Just leave those feelings right 
where they are and then gently 

35
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960
come back to the feeling of the 
breath. 

36
00:06:36,220 --> 00:06:44,060
Long, deep inhale, then a slow 
controlled exhale. 

37
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,760
Allow the breath to calm the 
mind and relax the body. 

38
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:19,520
And now allow your awareness to 
fall and move inward, finding 

39
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:37,940
that place where you feel loved.
Feel that natural peace in God's

40
00:07:37,940 --> 00:07:53,720
presence. 
Remember, when you come near to 

41
00:07:53,720 --> 00:08:14,040
God, He will come near to you. 
Take this verse with you. 

42
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:22,240
All the days ordained for me 
were written in your book before

43
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:38,600
one of them came to be. 
Softly begin to bring your 

44
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:45,320
awareness back to the body, back
to that feeling of weight in the

45
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,000
body. 
And when you're ready, slowly 

46
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,640
open your eyes and take a big 
deep breath in. 

47
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,800
Take a moment to check in and 
notice how you feel. 

48
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,200
I hope you feel a little more 
present. 

49
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,680
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope. 

50
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:11,720
Take care.
