00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:14.320
Take a deep breath in, hold it, and slowly exhale.

2
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:21.160
Loneliness can feel like an empty ache, a quiet sadness that sits in the soul.

3
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.760
And I want you to know you are not alone.

4
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:35.040
Right now, place your hand over your heart, feel its steady rhythm.

5
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:43.040
Feel where you're standing, where you're sitting, maybe you're in your car.

6
00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:54.960
Take another deep breath in, hold it, and exhale out.

7
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.840
When you're feeling lonely, it can hurt, it can be hard.

8
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:06.720
Maybe it's a lonely season, maybe it's just a lonely moment, but you have found yourself

9
00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:13.040
wanting to understand or get released from this feeling.

10
00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:21.040
Let's get curious about what's happening with this loneliness, with love, with longing and

11
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:22.040
hope.

12
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.240
Is it holding a space for you now?

13
00:01:27.240 --> 00:01:29.200
Was there a loss?

14
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:36.800
Are you missing someone or something that you had wanted or hoped for?

15
00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:39.760
In this moment, what are you noticing?

16
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:49.120
With your hand placed back on your heart, reminding you that you are loved.

17
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.760
Yes, you matter.

18
00:01:53.760 --> 00:02:02.480
You are seen and you are safe and you are not alone.

19
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:12.120
He's with you and that part of you that feels alone is seen.

20
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:21.760
Take another deep breath and as you exhale, release any tension you feel.

21
00:02:21.760 --> 00:02:23.240
Where is that tension?

22
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.800
You can place your hand on that part of you.

23
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.200
What is that part of you needing right now?

24
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:46.200
Your care for you to see that part of you, just notice it, the sadness, longing, desire.

25
00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:50.040
I want you to ask that part of you what it's needing.

26
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:54.000
What are you longing for in this moment?

27
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.880
What's missing?

28
00:02:55.880 --> 00:03:02.680
What's not there?

29
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:08.840
What part of you feels unseen or unheard?

30
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:17.200
How can I offer myself the presence and kindness I seek?

31
00:03:17.200 --> 00:03:22.560
How can I invite him in, his spirit, Jesus?

32
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:31.680
How can I invite him in to this place where I need his presence?

33
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:36.640
It is okay and beautiful to long for connection.

34
00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:40.880
It's a beautiful and holy desire.

35
00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:48.840
Let's reframe loneliness as an invitation rather than an emptiness, an invitation to

36
00:03:48.840 --> 00:04:03.480
fill that space with his love, with the courage to look at what's missing, to let yourself

37
00:04:03.480 --> 00:04:16.760
feel sad and name that and feel that and know that you're not alone as you look at that

38
00:04:16.760 --> 00:04:17.800
space.

39
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:23.440
What if this moment is calling you deeper into your own heart and soul?

40
00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:35.480
What if it's making space for something sacred, something beautiful?

41
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:43.040
Now I want you to imagine reaching up, taking his hand.

42
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:47.080
Is he sitting beside you?

43
00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:53.680
Are you noticing him inside that place that you noticed?

44
00:04:53.680 --> 00:05:00.000
His eyes full of tenderness, hearing him say, I am with you.

45
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:09.320
You are not alone with me.

46
00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:15.360
You are held in love as you feel whatever you need to feel.

47
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:20.360
He is a compassionate King Priest.

48
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:29.760
Let yourself settle into the truth that you are whole, worthy, and loved.

49
00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:42.960
Take a deep inhale, and as you exhale, inviting light, life, filling the spaces where the

50
00:05:42.960 --> 00:05:45.040
loneliness is.

51
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:55.640
Let the light remind you that in Him, you are safe, and you are seen, and you are known.

52
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.040
Amen.

53
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.040
Amen.

54
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:47.040
