36

37
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,560

44
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: to the Lord the issues that are keeping you up

45
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: late at night and stopping you from making the most

46
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: of your days. Let God into the areas of your

47
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: heart where his peace east does not yet reign. Take

48
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360

Speaker 1: is present and he is listening to you. Once again,

55
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: bring to mind those anxious thoughts. Ask God to bring

56
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: resolution to your conflict. To bring peace and reconciliation to

57
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,000
