Speaker 1: whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report,

30
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,

31
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:57,600

Speaker 1: name and extol your great and mighty deeds. Peaceful sleep

40
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: is good sleep. You can control the quality of your

41
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: sleep through what you think on before bed. The Bible

42
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: says we are to be mindful of the thoughts we

43
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: harbor inside our heads. It tells us to think of

44
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: righteous things, things that are pure and lovely, good things,

45
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: in short, godly things. So if you think godly thoughts,

46
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: then God's peace will be with you. In theory, this

47
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: is great. In practicality, it can be a difficult habit

48
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: to acquire. Many things will vie for your attention, personal

49
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: goals and obligations, social media, the state of current affairs

50
00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: in the world, and the uncertainty of what tomorrow will bring. However,

51
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: only God can guarantee peace. Open your heart to the

52
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, tell him of your circumstances and confess your

53
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: sins to him. Take a moment to dwell on the

54
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: peace of God in your life and thank him for it. Father,

55

00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: my heavy heart. Now thank back to all the times

59
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:07,159

Speaker 1: is listening to you. Reach out to Him through the

65
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: power of scripture. By thinking of and acting on God's word,

66
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: you draw his presence, and his presence manifests peacefulness. Stand

67
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: on the promise of His word and call out to

00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: His Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you

71
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:21,680
