0:01Let's go ahead and get comfortable in your bed or in your chair.

0:09And when you're ready, allow your eyes to slowly close.

0:20Take a moment to consider this verse and prayer.

0:27There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love.

0:42And again, there is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love.

1:05When it feels natural, begin releasing the tension in your hands, shoulders, and neck.

1:24Let go of that stress.

1:34Release your anxieties and worries to God.

1:47Let go of your grip on control.

2:02Take a big deep breath in.

2:14Release your stress.

2:20Let go of your frustrations.

2:30Let it all go on the exhale.

2:43We aren't holding onto the thoughts, we're just letting them release.

3:06Now bring your awareness to the way the body feels.

3:24Allow yourself to sink into your chair or your bed.

3:34Let the body relax and release.

3:52When it feels comfortable, bring your attention to the heart.

4:04Feel the heart beat.

4:12Just noticing it.

4:27Allow that natural rhythm and stillness to relax the body.

4:46Just notice the way that you feel.

4:52Not trying to change it.

4:56Just accepting it the way that it is.

5:14Now, let's relax the muscles.

5:20Start with the hands.

5:25Letting go of the tension in the hands.

5:32Let the palms open and relax each finger.

5:40Let your grip relax.

5:51Let the arms relax and the joints release.

6:03...

6:03the shoulders falling away from the ears.

6:14Feel the weight of the body.

6:23And now to the legs.

6:29Relaxing and letting go.

6:37Allow the legs to be heavy.

6:48Allow the muscles to completely relax, almost like they're melting.

7:11If you need a deep breath, take it.

7:17Keep it easy and natural.

7:27Notice how the breath changes the way you feel.

7:46There is nowhere to go, nowhere to be.

7:52You are here.

7:58Everything is perfectly how it should be.

8:10Let your mind relax.

8:16You are safe.

8:32Notice any feelings that you're having in the body.

8:40Not judging, just noticing.

8:59Allow yourself to release those feelings of tightness and tension.

9:33And now, for a moment or two, allow yourself to relax into the loving presence of God.

9:57Take this verse with you, "There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love." God, I know you're always with me.

10:26Thank you for all of your blessings.

10:31Help me to relax and let go in your presence.

10:38I trust your plan for my life.
