0:01Let's get started by taking a moment just to be thankful for all the blessings in life.
0:16And when you're ready, let your eyes close like the sun sets.
0:30Take a moment to consider this verse in prayer.
0:36Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me.
0:53And again, let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me.
1:16Now, take a moment to be grateful for this opportunity to relax.
1:31Notice how good it feels just to be here in this moment.
1:58Take a few nice big, deep breaths in.
2:20Allow your body and mind to relax.
2:42Nothing else matters right now.
2:47Here you are.
3:19Allow your body to relax and feel the calm of God's presence.
3:59The thoughts may take you away, and that's okay.
4:06Don't resist the thoughts.
4:09Don't force them back.
4:12Be friendly with your thoughts.
4:18When it feels natural, come back to the feeling of relaxation in the body.
4:55Now, without changing the breath, notice the quiet sound of your breathing.
5:15Notice how good it feels just to breathe.
5:31Allow your breath to make the body feel heavy.
5:52Let the body relax a little more into your bed.
6:07And on your next inhale, begin to count the breath.
6:18One on the inhale, and two on the exhale.
6:29Three on the next inhale, and four on the next exhale.
6:42Counting up to 10, and then starting over again.
7:07.
7:09If you lose track of the breath, it's okay, just start over again counting from one.
8:14.
8:14There's nowhere to go, nowhere to be.
8:20We're just here, counting the breath.
8:41On the next exhale, allow the breath to relax and become natural.
9:10Notice how the body is feeling.
9:15It might feel good, or it might not.
9:21Either way, it's okay.
9:41There are no expectations.
9:50And now, for a moment or two, let your mind relax.
10:12Take this verse with you, "Let my passion for life be restored, tasting joy in every breakthrough you bring to me." God, I know you're always with me.
10:44Thank you for all of your blessings.
10:49Help me to relax and let go in your presence.
10:56I trust your plan for my life.
