00:26.696 --> 00:30.662
[SPEAKER_00]: Remind me, Father, of the palace that you are creating within me.

00:31.773 --> 00:39.414

00:40.236 --> 00:42.542
[SPEAKER_00]: He intends to come and live in it himself.

[SPEAKER_00]: Your love comforts and nourishes me.

01:07.649 --> 01:09.211
[SPEAKER_00]: your spirit is my palace.

01:09.831 --> 01:11.253
[SPEAKER_00]: You are my safe place.

01:12.194 --> 01:20.783
[SPEAKER_00]: When my soul searches for rest, pick me up by their hold me like a child, alive and breathing fully, lead me to recline.

01:20.803 --> 01:25.709
[SPEAKER_00]: Draw my face to yours and breathe life into my lungs.

01:27.070 --> 01:30.614
[SPEAKER_00]: Your tender love allows me to release all anxiety.

01:31.975 --> 01:34.298

01:39.704 --> 01:44.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Who holds me when I'm weak, holding hands with my Father, I have no need to fear.

01:47.014 --> 01:52.240
[SPEAKER_00]: The reassuring sensation of your hand in mind gives me the courage I need to move forward.

01:53.081 --> 02:01.011
[SPEAKER_00]: When I'd rather slink back from the challenge, you give me the courage to wake up, put my house in order and live fully alive.

02:03.421 --> 02:10.929
[SPEAKER_00]: Open my ears to hear the truth, flush out the lies that shut me down, so that I may discern your voice.

02:12.371 --> 02:24.964
[SPEAKER_00]: I am seen, I am loved, I am safe, I am free, I am whole, I am everything I need to be, I am your child and I am assured in your love.

02:26.386 --> 02:31.251
[SPEAKER_00]: You loving Father, keep me, provide for me, and have my best interest at heart.

02:31.973 --> 02:34.136
[SPEAKER_00]: even when my emotions tell me otherwise.

02:34.797 --> 02:49.055
[SPEAKER_00]: When I'm overcome by fear and doubt sets in, when this anxiety lingers still, when this world is shaken and calamity crashes on the shore, I will remind my heart of these great things of your steadfast love and all that it means.

02:50.257 --> 02:53.441
[SPEAKER_00]: Glory be unto you, my God and my Father.

02:53.461 --> 02:55.183
[SPEAKER_00]: Glory in these healing waters.

02:56.004 --> 02:58.287
[SPEAKER_00]: Glory in these still small places.

02:59.549 --> 03:01.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Glory be unto you, always Lord.

03:01.876 --> 03:02.403
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
