0:00In meditation and prayer, we have a unique opportunity to absorb the Bible in a way that we can't otherwise.
0:09We get the chance to make it a part of our perspective and our heart.
0:14In a truly effortless and easy way, it changes from something we know into something that we are.
0:24Feeling God's presence in our lives becomes easier, because we become more aware of His touch.
0:33Let yourself rest on that today.
0:36God is with you, and He loves you.
0:42Let's begin by loosening the shoulders and the chest.
0:51And when you feel ready, just allow the eyes to slowly close.
1:01Take a moment to consider this verse, "For He alone is my safe place.
1:11His wraparound presence always protects me." And again, "For He alone is my safe place.
1:29His wraparound presence always protects me." As you relax, allow God's presence of peace to wash over you.
2:06Let your breath fill your body and relax your muscles.
2:22As your breath relaxes your body, bring your attention to the heartbeat.
2:41Just noticing the quiet rhythm of your heartbeat.
2:54Allow that rhythm and stillness to calm your mind, to relax your body.
3:14Let go of any feelings of stress or worry.
3:30God is taking care of you.
3:44Allow those feelings to go.
3:52You are safe here.
4:04And if thoughts take you away, that's okay.
4:10Be easy with the thoughts.
4:15Just remember, you can always come back to the breath and the heartbeat.
4:33Let yourself relax, and allow God to speak to your heart.
4:55Keeping your eyes closed, bring your awareness to the space around the room.
5:12Just noticing the sounds in the room, and the sensations on the body.
5:23Welcome these sensations as part of the practice.
5:47When it feels comfortable, take some nice, deep breaths.
6:01Real easy, deep breaths.
6:22Now, begin to slow down the inhale.
6:32Long, slow, deep inhalation, and then let the breath out and relax.
6:49Again, take another long, slow, deep breath in, filling up the body, and then let the exhale come naturally.
7:13With each breath, let your mind relax.
7:31Allow your feelings to release and become a prayer to God.
7:50Now, for a few moments, let go of the focused attention and let your awareness rest.
8:02You are loved.
8:18Take this verse with you.
8:21"For He alone is my safe place.
8:27His wraparound presence always protects me." Slowly bring your awareness back to the body, and when you feel ready, allow your eyes to open.
8:57Take a moment to notice how your body feels.
9:04I hope you feel a little better.
9:08We'll see you again tomorrow with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
9:14Remember, be easy with yourself.
