Transcript of the recording. Scripture translation labels describe the translation quoted in the audio.
0:00Stress creates a false reality.
0:04Stress tricks us into believing that everything has to happen now, but faith reassures us that everything happens in God's time.
0:16As you go through the day, remember, there's no need to hit the panic button.
0:23God has it all under control, and you are loved.
0:30When you feel ready, go ahead and get comfortable in your position, really allowing the body to relax.
0:44And when you're ready, let your eyes slowly close.
0:54Take a moment to consider this verse: By your mighty power, I can walk through any devastation and you will keep me alive.
1:15And again, by your mighty power, I can walk through any devastation and you will keep me alive.
1:41Now, bring your awareness to the feeling of the body.
1:52Maybe there's some muscle tightness or stress lingering in the body.
2:04Slowly bring your attention to those areas of tightness and relax them piece by piece.
2:24Feel the weight of your body in the chair.
2:36As your body begins to relax, allow your mind to let go.
2:48Give yourself permission to start fresh.
3:00What is done is done.
3:04All you have is this moment.
3:16This is a safe place.
3:20Release your thoughts to God.
3:36When it feels comfortable, take a few nice, deep breaths.
3:48Inhale, feel the chest rise, and exhale, feel the chest fall.
4:06There's no way to do this wrong.
4:14If the thoughts take you away, that's okay.
4:20When it feels comfortable, bring your awareness back to the feeling of the breath.
4:44Let's take a few nice, deep breaths.
4:58Allow your breath to fill the body up, and then relax with each out breath.
5:18With each new breath, allow the chest to open and the body to relax.
5:39Let go of any tension in your body.
5:46Just focus your attention on the breath.
5:54Deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.
6:10And when it feels comfortable, begin to count the breath, one on the inhale and two on the exhale, three on the next inhale, and four on the next exhale,
6:37counting up to 10 and then starting over again.
7:03Now, let go of the counting and bring your attention to the sound of your breathing.
7:19Just a nice soft focus on the air coming in and the air going out.
7:38Just relaxing and releasing.
7:53Allow your awareness to rest with the breath.
8:10Take this verse with you, "By Your mighty power, I can walk through any devastation and you will keep me alive." Softly, begin to bring your awareness back to the
8:40body, back to that feeling of weight in the body, and 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.
