00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.200
Deep spiritual guided meditation. Abide in me.

00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:08.859
Find a quiet space. Sit comfortably. Close your

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:14.960
eyes and take a slow, deep breath. In and out.

00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:18.820
Let your shoulders relax. Let your thoughts slow.

00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:24.539
Let yourself be here. Now, be still and know

00:00:24.539 --> 00:00:30.010
that I am God. Psalm 4610. Breathe in. deeply

00:00:30.010 --> 00:00:34.350
and exhale slowly. As you breathe, imagine the

00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:37.869
breath of God, His Spirit, gently filling you

00:00:37.869 --> 00:00:41.490
with peace. Inhale His presence. Exhale your

00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:44.950
worries. Let your body rest. Let your mind grow

00:00:44.950 --> 00:00:50.310
quiet. Let your heart become open. Now, imagine

00:00:50.310 --> 00:00:54.649
yourself walking slowly through a quiet garden

00:00:54.649 --> 00:00:58.710
at dawn. The morning light is soft. The air is

00:00:58.710 --> 00:01:02.479
cool. The earth is still. You hear only birdsong

00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.859
and the whisper of the wind in the trees. You

00:01:05.859 --> 00:01:09.000
come to a quiet place beneath a tree. You sit.

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.500
This is your meeting place, sacred ground. You

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:17.420
are not alone. God is here. Draw near to God,

00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:22.340
and He will draw near to you. James 4 .8. Feel

00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:26.459
His presence. Not far, not silent, but near.

00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:30.620
Not angry, not distant. but loving. He knows

00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:34.780
you. He sees you. You are fully known and deeply

00:01:34.780 --> 00:01:38.560
loved. Let His love rest on you like sunlight.

00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.060
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:49.079
Abide in my love. John 15 .9 Now hear the invitation

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.859
of Jesus. Abide in me. Not strive, not perform,

00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:59.420
not prove, just abide. Stay close. Be still with

00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:03.200
me. In this moment, whisper these words within.

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:08.900
I am yours. I am safe. I am loved. I am enough

00:02:08.900 --> 00:02:12.939
because you are enough. Let your heart breathe

00:02:12.939 --> 00:02:17.819
in that truth. If thoughts rise, worries, fears,

00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:22.000
distractions, don't fight them. Just gently release

00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.580
them into God's hands. Picture your hands open,

00:02:25.979 --> 00:02:29.139
not clinging. Not grasping. You're giving him

00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:31.780
what you cannot carry, letting go of what no

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:35.120
longer serves you. Cast all your anxiety on him,

00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:40.300
because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5 -7. Now just

00:02:40.300 --> 00:02:42.800
sit with him. You don't need the right words.

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:45.500
You don't need answers. You only need presence,

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.759
and he is here. Let silence be your prayer. Pause

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.680
in silence for a while. As you prepare to return

00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.439
from this space, breathe in one more time. Deeply,

00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.719
slowly, let that breath carry the peace of God

00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:03.620
into your spirit. Let it root deeply. Know this.

00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:07.580
He walks with you. He abides with you. And you

00:03:07.580 --> 00:03:10.139
can return to this place of stillness anytime.

00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:14.340
The Lord is your shepherd. You shall not want.

00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.500
He makes you lie down in green pastures. He leads

00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:22.939
you beside still waters. He restores your soul.

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.849
Psalm 23. 1 -3. Amen.
