Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.

0:00God is like a father who's exposing us to the world and teaching us how to see it.

0:08God wants us to grow in wisdom.

0:11He wants us to understand what's really important in life.

0:17Invite God into your space and let His love give your heart a new understanding.

0:27Let's begin by allowing the body to become heavy.

0:36And as you begin to relax, allow your eyes to close.

0:46Now take a moment to consider this verse.

0:52"For the fountain of life pours into you every time that you find me, and this is the secret of growing in the delight and the favor of the Lord."

1:13And again," For the fountain of life pours into you every time that you find me, and this is the secret of growing in the delight and the favor of

1:27the Lord." Now, gently bring your awareness to the breath.

1:51Allow your breath to deepen and fill the lungs.

2:01Big, deep breath in, and then taking twice as long on the exhale.

2:15Let the inhale come easily and effortlessly.

2:24And then exhale, controlling the breath.

2:33Allow yourself to be here in this moment.

2:42This is all that matters right now.

2:50Whatever you need to let go of, let it go.

2:58Release it to God.

3:09Today is a new day, with new opportunities.

3:23Allow your breath to renew your spirit and connect you to your Creator, who loves you.

3:41Deep breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth.

3:57Remember, this is a place of love.

4:04Let this practice be whatever you need it to be.

4:09God's calming presence is always accessible to you.

4:22Let your awareness rest in the loving presence of God.

4:46With a gentle curiosity, begin to notice the breath.

5:04Make the breath deep, and full of life.

5:10Allow that fresh air to fill up the lungs, and then relax the body as you exhale.

5:39Let your body become heavy as your mind continues to relax.

5:48You are exactly where you need to be.

6:09And now, come to the heartbeat.

6:15Maybe even listen for its rhythm.

6:31Just relaxing and releasing.

6:45If the thoughts take you away, that's okay.

6:52When it's easy, bring your awareness back to the heartbeat.

7:12Just listen to your heartbeat and the gentle sound of your breath.

7:31Let your breath act as an anchor to this moment and this practice.

7:50With each breath, allow yourself to rest further into the calm of God's love.

8:13Take this verse with you, for the fountain of life pours into you every time that you find me, and this is the secret of growing in the delight and

8:28the favor of the Lord.

8:42When it feels natural, bring your awareness back to the room.

8:49Just noticing the room with a gentle appreciation.

8:56And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly open.

9:02Take a moment to notice how you feel.

9:06I hope you feel a little more relaxed.

9:09We'll see you again tomorrow for another day of hope.
