  Speaker 2: Hi, and welcome to this time of Christian guided meditation
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: on Abide. This guide is here to help you with
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: thoughts of worry and anxiety that you may be experiencing
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and that may be causing some restless sleep or insomnia
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: for you. You may consider playing it softly next to
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: your pillow as you rest. The ultimate goal is a
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: personal encounter with God, because only in his arms can
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: we truly find rest. So take your time. God is
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: in no rush, nor should you be. So when you're ready,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I want you to close your eyes and just relax
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: as you listen to my voice. Just relax and let
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: me guide as we begin by listening and joining me
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: in the Jesus Prayer. It has its origins in Egyptian
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Christian monasteries in the fifth century. The prayer is just
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: simply a method of opening up the heart to the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: prayer of the heart. It's considered to be the unceasing
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: prayer that Paul mentions, the prayer that is voiced so
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: humbly in Luke chapter eighteen. Now just listen to the words.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Don't concentrate, no need to focus on them, no effort,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: just notice them, soak in their truth. Lord Jesus Christ,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Feel yourself relaxing, just falling back, surrendering yourself
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and being held up by the strong right hand of God.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus christ Son of God,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: have mercy on me, a sinner. Jesus uses this prayer
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: in a parable about a pious pharisee and a despised
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: tax collector. Jesus tells of the pride of the pharisee
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and the humility of the lowly tax collector, too humble
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: to even look up to God as he prays, too
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: ashamed to even glance towards Heaven, beating his chest in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: agony over the weight of sin he feels on his shoulders.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Can you relate to him, and the simple prayer of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: this tax collector, the prayer Jesus said, would make this
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: man righteous before God. The prayer Jesus said would lift
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: this man into the very presence of God. Lord Jesus Christ,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Release the weight of your worldly cares as
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you focus on the mercy of Jesus, O Peaceful and

  Speaker 2: heavenly Father, give this one your child rest for the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: refreshing of their soul and body. Grant this one this gift.

• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to them whose mind is fixed on you, And give
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: them such a sense of your presence that in these
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: moments of silence they may enjoy the blessed assurance of

• 5:14
  Speaker 2: of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: The words are important.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Not just Lord, not just Jesus, and not just Christ,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: but Lord, submitting to his authority, and Jesus acknowledging his humanity,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: and Christ honoring his title the Messiah. Lord, Jesus Christ,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Son of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord, Jesus, Christ,

  Speaker 2: Son of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord

  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Mercy means to show compassion or forgiveness towards someone who
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: doesn't deserve it and has done nothing to earn it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Mercy grace the very siner and core of God's gift
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to you. So just rest in it tonight. Receive it,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Oh beautiful and loving Father. Be merciful to this one,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Oh God, because of your constant love, because of your
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: great mercy, Wipe away their sins, wash away all ear

  Speaker 2: and make them clean. Let them hear the sounds of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: joy and gladness. Create in them a pure heart, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: give them again the joy that comes from your salvation. God,

  Speaker 2: Feel Jesus's embrace. Feel Jesus whispering his love and care
• 7:31

• 7:35
  Speaker 2: want you to pace your breathing as you listen to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the prayer of the tax collector. Let his prayer become yours.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: As you rest, as you find calm and peace, Listen
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: as I read the Jesus Prayer with longer and longer
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: pauses between, and use the pauses to settle your thoughts
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: on Jesus. You may notice that your thoughts wander in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the moments of stillness, and that's perfectly natural. Each time
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: your mind begins to wander, and it will happen. Just
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: let the wanderings be a reminder to come back gently
• 8:14

  Speaker 2: pharisee and a despised tax collector. Jesus tells of the
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: pride of the pharisee and the humility of the lowly
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: tax collector, too humble to even look up to God
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: as he prays, too ashamed to even glance towards Heaven,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: beating his chest in agony, over the weight of sin
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: he feels on his shoulders. Can you relate to him
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: in the simple prayer of this tax collector, The prayer
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: Jesus said would make this man righteous before God. The
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: prayer Jesus said would lift this man into the very

• 1:41:57
  Speaker 2: me guide. As we begin by listening and joining me
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 2: in the Jesus Prayer. It has its origins in Egyptian
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 2: Christian monasteries in the fifth century. The prayer is just
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 2: simply a method of opening up the heart to the
• 1:42:14
  Speaker 2: prayer of the heart. It's considered to be the unceasing
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: prayer that Paul mentions, the prayer that is voiced so
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 2: humbly in Luke chapter eighteen. Now just listen to the words.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: Don't concentrate, no need to focus on them, no effort,

• 1:43:05

• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: and being held up by the strong right hand of God.

  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,

  Speaker 2: a sinner. Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: have mercy on me, a sinner. Jesus uses this prayer
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 2: in a parable about a pious pharisee and a despised
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 2: tax collector. Jesus tells of the pride of the pharisee
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 2: and the humility of the lowly tax collector, too humble
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 2: to even look up to God as he prays, too
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 2: ashamed to even glance towards Heaven, beating his chest in
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 2: agony over the weight of sin he feels on his shoulders.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 2: Can you relate to him in the simple prayer of
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 2: this tax collector. The prayer Jesus said would make this
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 2: man righteous before God. The prayer Jesus said would lift
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 2: this man into the very presence of God. Lord Jesus Christ,
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord

  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Release the weight of your worldly cares as
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 2: you focus on the mercy of Jesus. O peaceful and
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 2: heavenly Father, give this one your child rest for the
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 2: refreshing of their soul and body. Grant this one this gift.
• 1:45:37
  Speaker 2: I pray, keep them in that perfect peace which you
• 1:45:41
  Speaker 2: have promised to them whose mind is fixed on you,
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 2: And give them such a sense of your presence that
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 2: in these moments of silence they may enjoy the blessed
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 2: assurance of your love through you. Lord, Jesus Christ, Son

• 1:47:15
  Speaker 2: of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Mercy means
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: to show compassion or forgiveness towards someone who doesn't deserve
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 2: it and has done nothing to earn it. Mercy grace
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 2: the very siner and core of God's gift to you,
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 2: So just rest in it tonight. Receive it, Oh beautiful
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 2: and loving Father. Be merciful to this one, Oh God,
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 2: because of your constant love, because of your great mercy.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 2: Wipe away their sins, wash away all evil, and make
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 2: them clean. Let them hear the sounds of joy and gladness.

  Speaker 2: want you to pace your breathing as you listen to
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 2: the prayer of the tax collector. Let his prayer become yours.

  Speaker 2: as I read the Jesus Prayer with longer and longer

• 2:03:12
  Speaker 2: may notice that your thoughts wander in the moments of stillness,
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 2: and that's perfectly natural. Each time your mind begins to wander,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 2: and it will happen. Just let the wanderings be a

• 2:10:30
  Speaker 2: It has its origins in Egyptian Christian monasteries in the
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 2: fifth century. The prayer is just simply a method of
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: opening up the heart to the prayer of the heart.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 2: It's considered to be the unceasing prayer that Paul mentions,
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 2: the prayer that is voiced so humbly in Luke chapter eighteen.
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 2: Now just listen to the words. Don't concentrate, no need
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 2: to focus on them, no effort, Just notice them, soak
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 2: in their truth. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have

  Speaker 2: of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus,

• 2:12:09
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus, christ Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Jesus uses this prayer in a parable about
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 2: a pious pharisee and a despised tax collector. Jesus tells
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 2: of the pride of the pharisee and the humility of
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 2: the lowly tax collector, too humble to even look up
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 2: to God as he prays, too ashamed to even glance
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 2: towards Heaven, beating his chest in agony over the weight
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 2: of sin he feels on his shoulders. Can you relate
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 2: to him in the simple prayer of this tax collector.
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 2: The prayer Jesus said would make this man righteous before God.
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 2: The prayer Jesus said, would lift this man into the
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 2: very presence of God. Lord Jesus, Christ, Son of God,

• 2:13:48
  Speaker 2: on the mercy of Jesus, Oh Peaceful and heavenly Father,
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 2: give this one your child rest for the refreshing of
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 2: their soul and life.

  Speaker 2: Keep them in that perfect peace which you have promised
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 2: to them whose mind is fixed on you, And give
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 2: them such a sense of your presence that in these

• 2:31:29
  Speaker 2: constant love, because of your great mercy. Wipe away their sins,
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 2: wash away all evil, and make them clean. Let them
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 2: hear the sounds of joy and gladness. Create in them
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 2: a pure heart, and give them again the joy that
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 2: comes from your salvation. God, grant this one peace so
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 2: that they can have a renewed, fresh spirit ready to
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 2: face every day in Jesus name. Amen, feel Jesus's embrace.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 2: Feel Jesus whispering his love and care and mercy for you.
• 2:32:09
  Speaker 2: As you continue to relax, I want you to pace
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 2: your breathing as you listen to the prayer of the
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 2: tax collector. Let his prayer become yours. As you rest,
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 2: as you find calm and peace, Listen as I read
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 2: the Jesus Prayer with longer and longer pauses between, and
• 2:32:33
  Speaker 2: use the pauses to settle your thoughts on Jesus. You
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 2: may notice that your thoughts wander in the moments of stillness,
• 2:32:40
  Speaker 2: and that's perfectly natural. Each time your mind begins to wander,
• 2:32:44
  Speaker 2: and it will happen. Just let the wanderings be a
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 2: reminder to come back gently to the thoughts of mercy
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 2: of Jesus. Let the prayers center you back into the
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 2: peace of Christ. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have
• 2:33:05
  Speaker 2: mercy on me, a sinner. Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God,

• 2:34:13
  Speaker 2: Peaceful and Loving Father, Be merciful to this one, Oh God,
• 2:34:19
  Speaker 2: because of your constant love, because of your great mercy,
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 2: wipe away their anxiety, wash away all evil, and make
• 2:34:30
  Speaker 2: them clean from their sin. Tonight, tonight, let them hear
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 2: the sounds of joy and gladness. Create in them tonight
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 2: a pure heart. O God, give them again the joy
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 2: that comes from your salvation. God, grant them this one
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 2: peace so they can sleep and awaken with a renewed spirit,
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 2: ready to face the day ahead.
• 2:35:02
  Speaker 4: Jesus name, Amen.

• 2:35:49
  Speaker 2: I pray God's word over you. When you lie down,
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 2: you will not be afraid. When you lie down, your
• 2:36:00
  Speaker 2: sleep will be sweet. When you lie down, no one
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 2: will make you afraid. Many will rejoice with you. When
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 2: you lay down, you will be at peace, and you
• 2:36:18
  Speaker 2: will sleep, for the Lord keeps you safe. When you
• 2:36:25
  Speaker 2: lay down to sleep, behold, there is an angel with
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 2: you that this your sleep will be pleasant to you. Lord,
• 2:36:44

  Speaker 2: Dear peaceful Father, thank you for your peace, your care,
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 2: your love, your salvation, and your mercy. As this child
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 2: of yours finds rest, as they rest, let them feel
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 2: your presence over them. Let them rest under your wings.
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 2: And now God bless them, God keep them. God, Let
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 2: your face shine upon them, and give them your peace
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 2: by your grace through faith in your Son and whose
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 2: name that I pray. Amen, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 2: have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 2: of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord, Jesus Christ,
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord God,
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 2: I ask that you watch over your childhood, hold them
• 2:39:02
  Speaker 2: in the fold of your tender loving arms. And Father,
• 2:39:06
  Speaker 2: I pray for deep rest and security for this dear
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 2: and wonderful person that you love and care for. Give
• 2:39:15
  Speaker 2: them visions and dreams of your hope, and refresh them
• 2:39:20
  Speaker 2: for a new day. Be their help in time of need,
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 2: and allow them to sleep deeply tonight in the name
• 2:39:29
  Speaker 2: of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
• 2:39:33
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 2:39:45
  Speaker 2: As you listen to my voice, just relax and let
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 2: me guide. As we begin by listening and joining me
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 2: in the Jesus Prayer. It has its origins in Egyptian
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 2: Christian monasteries. In the fifth cl the prayer is just
• 2:40:02
  Speaker 2: simply a method of opening up the heart to the
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 2: prayer of the heart. It's considered to be the unceasing
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 2: prayer that Paul mentions, the prayer that is voiced so
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 2: humbly in Luke chapter eighteen. Now just listen to the words.
• 2:40:19
  Speaker 2: Don't concentrate, no need to focus on them, no effort,
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 2: just notice them, soak in their truth. Lord Jesus Christ,
• 2:40:33
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord
• 2:40:41
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me,
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Feel yourself relaxing, just falling back, surrendering yourself
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 2: and being held up by the strong right hand of God.
• 2:41:14
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 2:41:20
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy
• 2:41:29
  Speaker 2: on me, a sinner. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
• 2:41:39
  Speaker 2: have mercy on me, a sinner. Jesus uses this prayer
• 2:41:47
  Speaker 2: in a parable about a pious pharisee and a despised
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 2: tax collector. Jesus tells of the pride of the pharisee
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 2: and the humility of the lowly tax collector, too humble
• 2:42:03
  Speaker 2: to even look up to God as he prays, too
• 2:42:06
  Speaker 2: ashamed to even glance towards Heaven, beating his chest in
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 2: agony over the weight of sin he feels on his shoulders.
• 2:42:17
  Speaker 2: Can you relate to him in the simple prayer of
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 2: this tax collector. The prayer Jesus said would make this
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 2: man righteous before God. The prayer Jesus said would lift
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 2: this man into the very presence of God. Lord Jesus
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 2: Christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 2:42:47
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 2: a sinner. Lord Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy
• 2:43:03
  Speaker 2: on me, a sinner. Release the weight of your worldly
• 2:43:11
  Speaker 2: cares as you focus on the mercy of Jesus, O
• 2:43:17
  Speaker 2: Peaceful and heavenly Father, Give this one your child rest
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 2: for the refreshing of their soul and body. Grant this
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 2: one this gift.
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 3: I pray.
• 2:43:30
  Speaker 2: Keep them in that perfect peace which you have promised
• 2:43:33
  Speaker 2: to them whose mind is fixed on you, And give
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 2: them such a sense of your presence that in these
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 2: moments of silence they may enjoy the blessed assurance of
• 2:43:46
  Speaker 2: Your love through you.
• 2:43:51
  Speaker 3: Lord Jesus Christ.
• 2:43:54
  Speaker 2: Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord
• 2:44:02
  Speaker 2: Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 2: Lord Jesus christ Son of God, have mercy on me,
• 2:44:17
  Speaker 2: a sinner. The words are important. Not just Lord, not
• 2:44:25
  Speaker 2: just Jesus, and not just Christ but Lord, submitting to
• 2:44:31
  Speaker 2: his authority, and Jesus acknowledging his humanity in Christ, honoring
• 2:44:40
  Speaker 2: his title the Messiah. Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God,
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 2: Have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord, Jesus Christ, Son
• 2:44:57
  Speaker 2: of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner. Lord, Jesus Christ,
• 2:45:06
  Speaker 2: Son of God, Have mercy on me, a sinner. Mercy
• 2:45:16
  Speaker 2: means to show compassion or forgiveness towards someone who doesn't
• 2:45:20
  Speaker 2: deserve it and has done nothing to earn it. Mercy
• 2:45:26
  Speaker 2: grace the very center and core of God's gift to you,
• 2:45:31
  Speaker 2: So just rest in it tonight. Receive it, Oh beautiful
• 2:45:37
  Speaker 2: and Loving Father, Be merciful to this one, O God,
• 2:45:41
  Speaker 2: because of your constant love, because of your great mercy.
• 2:45:45
  Speaker 2: Wipe away their sins, wash away all evil, and make
• 2:45:50
  Speaker 2: them clean. Let them hear the sounds of joy and gladness.
• 2:45:55
  Speaker 2: Create in them a pure heart, and give them again
• 2:45:58
  Speaker 2: the joy that come from your salvation. God, grant this
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 2: one peace so that they can have a renewed, fresh spirit,
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 2: ready to face every day. In Jesus' name. Amen, feel
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 2: Jesus's embrace. Feel Jesus whispering his love and care and
• 2:46:21
  Speaker 2: mercy for you. As you continue to relax, I want
• 2:46:25
  Speaker 2: you to pace your breathing as you listen to the
• 2:46:28
  Speaker 2: prayer of the tax collector. Let his prayer become yours.
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 2: As you rest, as you find calm and peace, Listen
• 2:46:40
  Speaker 2: as I read the Jesus Prayer with longer and longer
• 2:46:43
  Speaker 2: pauses between, and use the pauses to settle your thoughts
• 2:46:48
  Speaker 2: on Jesus. You may notice that your thoughts wander in
• 2:46:52
  Speaker 2: the moments of stillness, and that's perfectly natural. Each time
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 2: your mind begins to wander, and it will happen. Just
• 2:47:00
  Speaker 2: let the wanderings be a reminder to come back gently
• 2:47:04
  Speaker 2: to the thoughts of mercy of Jesus. Let the prayers
• 2:47:08
  Speaker 2: center you back into the.
