• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to name any worries that are weighing you down. Don't

  Speaker 1: be ashamed of your anxiety, offer it to God. Remember
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that Jesus said that you could cast your cares on him.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Picture your worries like rocks in a backpack. Take them
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: out one by one and hand them to Jesus. If
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: those worries show up in your backpack again, that's okay.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Just give them to Jesus again. He is our ever
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: present help in times of trouble. He does not grow weary,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and he desires to give you his peace. Having surrendered
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: your worries and fears to God, feel the lightness in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your spirit. You don't have to carry those things anymore.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You're free of them. Feel the weight gone from your shoulders.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Feel the muscles of your neck and back loosen and relax,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: free of the burden they were carrying. Notice your breath.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Don't judge it, just notice it. Is it shallow or deep? Now?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: As you breathe out, surrender more of your worries to God.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Feel your tension moved through your body and out with
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: your breath. As you exhale, then breathe in God's peace.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Feeling it move through your body and expanding inside of you.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Feel the relaxation in your shoulders deepen as you breathe
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: out the tension and breathe in God's peace. Keep breathing
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: out the tension and in the peace of God, as
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I read to you from Psalm for answer me when
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I call to you, my Righteous God, give me relief
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: from my distress. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: for himself. The Lord hears when I call to him. Tremble,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and you not sin when you are on your beds,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: search your hearts and be silent. Offer the sacrifices of
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the righteous and trust in the Lord. God. You answer
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: when we call to you, and you alone have the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: power to answer prayers. Please have mercy on your child.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Relieve your child's distress and anxiety. Lift the burdens from
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: their shoulders, and help them to trust your power and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: your providence, your deep love were them. I ask this
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Feel the relaxation spread out from your shoulders and back
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: into your arms and deep inside your chest. Feel each
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: individual muscle loosen, continuing to breathe out your tension and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in God's peace. Let your awareness of God's mercy be
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: stronger than any other thought in your mind. Let's pray
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: these words from Psalm three cover you like a blanket.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: But you Lord are a shield around me, my glory,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the one who lifts my head high. I call out
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to the Lord, and he answers me. From his holy mountain.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I lie down in sleep. I wake again because the
