Meditation transcript
Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.
0:00We don't have to know the answers to all of our questions to find meaning and fulfillment.
0:08We only have to trust that there is an answer.
0:12We trust that God knows what we do not, and that He has our best interest at heart.
0:21We just simply trust that God's loving hand is at work in our life.
0:28Let that sit with you as you go about your day.
0:35Go ahead and get comfortable in your position, really allowing the body to relax.
0:47And when you feel ready, let your eyes slowly close.
0:58Now, take a moment to consider this verse: "I am with you, and I will protect you everywhere you go." Again, "I am with you, and I will protect you
1:26everywhere you go." Bring your attention to any emotions you're carrying with you.
1:56Not engaging with your feelings, just noticing them.
2:10Almost like you're observing your emotions, and then letting them go.
2:22Just like loosening your grip, you're letting go of those feelings.
2:41Let God handle whatever is out of your control.
2:54This is a place of acceptance and safety.
3:02You can always find rest in God.
3:14Now, begin to notice how your body feels.
3:24When it feels comfortable, begin to consciously relax the body.
3:38Scanning down from your head to your toes, release any areas of tension in the body.
3:58Surrender all of your stress, and all of your responsibilities, and just let your mind rest.
4:22You are safe.
4:25God is looking out for you.
4:42Now, bring your attention to your breath.
4:52Just a soft, easy awareness.
5:04Notice what it feels like as air passes in through the nose, and then back out through the mouth.
5:25Let the breath bring life to your body.
5:42Begin to listen to the sound of your breath.
5:53Listening to the inhale and the exhale.
6:10On the next exhale, allow the breath to relax and become natural.
6:40Allow your breath to bring renewal to your body.
6:50You're making space to notice God's presence in your life.
7:06When it feels comfortable, bring your attention to the heartbeat.
7:22Allow that rhythm and stillness to enter every part of your body.
7:45Feel the presence of God in this space.
7:54Let go of control, and rest into the arms of God.
8:12Take this verse with you, "I am with you, and I will protect you everywhere you go." Softly begin to bring your awareness back to the body, back to that
8:43feeling of weight in the body.
8:46And when you're ready, slowly open your eyes and take a big, deep breath in.
8:55Take a moment to check in and notice how you feel.
9:01I hope you feel a little more present.
9:05We'll see you again tomorrow for another day of hope.
9:10Take care.
