Frequently, our words say that we trust God, but our actions and fears tell a different story. As you listen to this meditation, trust God with more than just words. Trust Him with your actions. Act as if God is looking out for you, because He is.
Okay, let’s begin by getting comfortable and taking a few nice deep breaths. Deep breaths.
As you begin to feel your body releasing, allow your eyes to slowly close.
Take a moment to consider this verse. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.
And again, trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.
Keeping your eyes closed, Bring your awareness to the space around the room,
just noticing the sounds in the room and the sensations on the body.
Welcome these sensations as part of the practice.
When it feels comfortable, take some nice, deep breaths.
Real easy, deep breaths. Now
begin to slow down the inhale.
Long, slow, deep inhalation. And then let the breath out. and relax.
Again, take another long, slow, deep breath in, filling up the body, and then let the exhale come naturally.
With each breath, let your mind relax.
Allow your feelings to release. and become a prayer to God.
Now for a few moments, let go of the focused attention and let your awareness rest. You are loved.
And now, bring your attention to the heartbeat. Allow
its rhythm to relax the body.
As you begin to relax, bring your attention to the weight of the body.
Allow the arms and the legs to become heavy.
Allow the face to soften all the way down through the neck.
Soften the skin. Allow
the corners of the eyes to relax.
Let the shoulders fall away from the ears.
Release the elbows.
Let the wrists and the hands Relax.
Soften the chest and the stomach.
Release the hips and the thighs.
Relax the calves all the way down to the ankles. Allow
the entire body to let go. Totally relax.
There is nowhere to go. You are exactly where you’re supposed to be. Take this verse with you.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.
Gently bring your awareness back to the feeling of your breath. Listen to the sound of your breathing, and when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes. and take another deep breath in. Give yourself a stretch and sit back and relax. Remember to take a moment to check in and notice how you feel. I hope you feel better.
Take care, and we’ll see you again tomorrow with hope, mindfulness, and prayer.
Love is the miracle drug. Love allows us to overcome pain and disappointment. It allows us to persevere through struggles. It restores our hopes and dreams. God is love. And what God loves most is love. is you.
Many of us grew up with the idea that God was sitting in heaven writing down every bad thing that we ever did. But what God tells us He actually does is not writing, but erasing. As soon as we can add another item to our list of wrongs, God is erasing it. This is because God is love, and love keeps no record of wrongs.
When we seek God, we always get more than we ask for. We’re seeking connection. And without even asking for it, God begins to change our hearts. He begins to gradually release all those negative thoughts and feelings that we hold on to. Gradually, He changes what’s inside of us.
