Let’s go ahead and get comfortable in your bed or in your chair,
and when you’re ready, allow your eyes to slowly close.
Take a moment to consider this verse and prayer. Those who wait on the Lord get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles.
And again, those who wait on the Lord. Get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles.
When it feels natural, begin releasing the tension in your hands, shoulders, and neck.
Let go of that stress.
Release your anxieties and worries to God.
Let go. of your grip on control.
Take a big, deep breath in.
Release your stress.
Let go of your frustrations.
Let it all go on the exhale.
We aren’t holding on to the thoughts. We’re just letting them release.
Now bring your awareness to the way the body feels.
Allow yourself to sink into your chair or your bed.
Let the body relax and release.
When it feels comfortable, bring your attention to the heart.
Feel the heartbeat,
just noticing it.
Allow that natural rhythm and stillness to relax the body.
Just notice the way that you feel,
not trying to change it. Just accepting it the way that it is.
Now, let’s relax the muscles. Start with the hands, letting go of the tension in the hands.
Let the palms open and relax each finger.
Let your grip relax.
Let the arms relax and the joints release.
The shoulders falling away from the ears,
feel the weight of the body.
And now to the legs,
relaxing and letting go.
Allow the legs to be heavy.
Allow the muscles to completely relax,
almost like they’re melting.
If you need a deep breath, take it. Keep it easy and natural.
Notice how the breath changes the way you feel.
There is nowhere to go. Nowhere to be. You are here.
Everything is perfectly how it should be.
Let your mind relax. You are safe.
Notice any feelings that you’re having in the body.
Not judging, just noticing.
Allow yourself to release. Those feelings of tightness and tension.
And now, for a moment or two, allow yourself to relax into the loving presence of God.
Take this verse with you. Those who wait on the Lord get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles.
God, I know you’re always with me. Thank you for all of your blessings. Help me to relax and let go in your presence. I trust your plan for my life.
