Hello,
And welcome to today's guided meditation.
Today we will focus on Biblical affirmations for mental health.
Even as believers,
Many of us have seasons and times in our lives when we struggle.
Maybe you have struggled with fear,
Anxiety,
Or maybe even depression.
Through God's Word,
We are reminded that He loves us and He is with you.
Repeat these Biblical affirmations and with your whole heart,
Believe them.
Begin to find a comfortable seated or lying down position.
And with your eyes open or closed,
Let's begin to take the journey inward.
As you breathe,
Allow your legs and your arms to gently soften.
Notice the heaviness in your arms and your legs as you surrender to gravity,
Letting go of resisting,
Letting go mind,
Body,
And spirit.
And with your heart,
Begin to offer your presence to God.
With this heart-centered practice,
Begin to breathe gently and fully,
Inhaling deeply through your nose and slowly releasing the breath out through your mouth.
Inhale and exhale.
Continue to breathe as you meet God heart to heart,
Spirit to spirit,
And breath to breath.
Feel free to repeat these Biblical affirmations out loud or in the silence of your mind,
Or simply listen,
Allowing the scriptures and the affirmations to wash over you,
Saturating you from the inside out.
God is doing good work in me.
God is doing good work in me.
Philippians 1.
6,
Being confident of this,
That he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Jesus Christ.
God is doing good work in me.
Breathe and receive God's truth for your life.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
But of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Breathe knowing he will fulfill it.
Nothing can separate me from God's love.

Romans 8.
38-39,
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
Neither angels or demons,
Neither the present or the future,
Nor any powers,
Neither height nor depth,
Nor anything else in all creation,
Will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nothing can separate me from God's love.
Rest in God's love.

Allow yourself to cry in God's safety.

I am anxious for nothing.
Believe as you breathe and receive.

For the next few moments,

Understanding the power of God's word is life-giving,
No matter what you're feeling.
In this truth,
Breathe as you believe.
