Daily Hope 3

When you fail, have patience with yourself. God does. He understands that you’re growing and you’re changing. You are being built to be a place that God will live in. Remind yourself of that as you go about your day. Okay, let’s begin by taking a few seconds to consciously relax the body.

And when you’re ready, allow your eyes to slowly close.

Now take a moment to consider this verse. We are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan.

And again, we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan.

Bring your attention to the feeling of the breath.

Let it settle into a natural rhythm, effortless and easy.

Notice how good it feels just to breathe. With

each inhale, let your body fill up with new life.

With each exhale, release and let your body relax.

Feel your feet. On the floor and the weight of your body in the chair.

Now, gently bring your attention to your emotions.

Just noticing the feelings that you brought with you today.

Not engaging with the emotions, just noticing them as an observer.

Remember that you can leave those feelings. Right where they are.

Just allow those thoughts to bubble up and out.

Remember, today is a new day with new opportunities.

God is working in your life

with an easy awareness. Bring your attention to the space in the room.

Just noticing the space. With an easy curiosity.

Notice your place in the room.

Feel the air on your skin.

Listen to the sounds in the room.

Maybe it’s quiet in the room. Maybe it’s not. Both are okay.

You’re just listening and welcoming the sounds as part of the exercise.

Not wishing to change the sounds, just accepting the sounds as they are.

When it feels natural, slowly bring your awareness to the breath.

Allow your breath to be a reminder to stay in this present moment.

If your mind begins to wander, you can always come back to the feeling of the breath.

Relax and let your body honor the natural calm that only comes from the presence of a loving God.

Take this verse with you. We are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan.

Allow your awareness to slowly come back to your body. And when it feels natural, begin to open your eyes. Sit back in your chair. Maybe you want to stretch a little bit. Do whatever feels good. Take a moment to notice how you feel. I hope you feel a little more relaxed. We’ll see you again tomorrow for another day of hope.
