As you take 46 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: your next breath, focus on the areas of the body 47 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: that are still tense. Take a few deep breaths. With 48 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: each inhale, focus on tensing a different area of the body. 49 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: With each exhale, focus on relaxing a different area of 50 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: the body.

Now focus on opening 53 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 3: your chest and heart.

Ask God to draw you close to Him 63 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: and to speak to your heart as you lay down 64 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: to sleep. The Bible reminds us God loves us no 65 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 3: matter what, and he is always faithful, even in the 66 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: times when we are far away from him. Tonight, find 67 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 3: rest and comfort in His goodness and faithfulness. Psalm one 68 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 3: hundred and six from the King James version says, praise 69 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: ye the Lord. Oh give thanks unto the Lord, for 70 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: he is good for his mercy, endureth forever who can 71 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 3: utter the mighty acts of the Lord, who can shew 72 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: forth all his praise. Blessed are they that keep judgment 73 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: and he that doeth righteousness at all times. Remember me, o, Lord, 74 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people. Oh 75 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: visit me with thy salvation, that I may see the 76 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the 77 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance. 78 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity. 79 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: We have done wickedly. Our fathers understood not thy wonders. 80 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: In Egypt, they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies, 81 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red Sea. Nevertheless, 82 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: he saved them for his name's sake, that he might 83 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: make his mighty power to be known. He rebuked the 84 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 3: Red sea also, and it was dried up. So he 85 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. And 86 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 3: he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, 87 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 3: and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy, and 88 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 3: the waters covered their enemies. There was not one of 89 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 3: them left. Then believed they his words, they sang his praise. 90 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: They soon forgat his works. They waited not for his counsel, 91 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in 92 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 3: the desert. And he gave them their request, but sent 93 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: Lenus into their soul. They envied Moses also in the camp, 94 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: and Aron, the saint of the Lord. The earth opened 95 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 3: and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abriam, 96 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: and a fire was kindled in their company. The flame 97 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: burned up the wicked They made a calf of Horeb, 98 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 3: and worshiped the molten image. Thus they changed their glory 99 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 3: into the similitude of an ox that edith grass. They 100 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 3: forgot God, their savior, which had done great things in Egypt, 101 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: wondrous works in the land of Ham, the terrible things 102 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 3: by the Red Sea. Therefore he said that he would 103 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 3: destroy them, had not Moses his chosen, stood before him 104 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: in the breach to turn away his wrath lest he 105 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 3: should destroy them. Yea, they despised the pleasant land. They 106 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: believed not his word, but murmured in their tents, and 107 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 3: hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord. Therefore he 108 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 3: lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in 109 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: the wilderness, to overthrow their seed also among the nations, 110 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: and to scatter them in the lands. They joined themselves 111 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 3: also unto Balpiore, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 112 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 3: Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions, and 113 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: the plague brake in upon them. Then stood at Phineus 114 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 3: and executed judgment. And so the plague was stayed, and 115 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations. 116 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: For evermore, they angered him also at the waters of strife, 117 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 3: so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes, 118 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 3: because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisably 119 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 3: with his lips. They did not destroy the nations concerning 120 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 3: whom the Lord commanded them, but were mingled among the 121 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: heathen and learned their works, and they served their idols, 122 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed their 123 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: sons and their daughters unto devils, and shed innocent blood, 124 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 3: even the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom 125 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 3: they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan, and the land 126 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 3: was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their 127 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 3: own works, and went ahorring with their own inventions. Therefore 128 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, 129 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 3: insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. And he gave 130 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 3: them into the hand of the heathen. And they that 131 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 3: hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, 132 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: and they were brought into subjection unto them their hand. 133 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 3: Many times did he deliver them, but they provoked him 134 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 3: with their counsel and were brought low for their iniquity. Nevertheless, 135 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 3: he regarded their affliction when he heard their cry, and 136 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: he remembered for them his covenant and repented. According to 137 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 3: the multitude of his mercies. He made them also to 138 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 3: be pitied of all those that carried them captives. Save us, o, Lord, 139 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 3: our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to 140 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in 141 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 3: thy praise. Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel, from 142 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 3: everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say Amen, 143 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 3: Praise ye the Lord. Meditate on the everlasting love of 144 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: the Lord. Reflect on his grace and mercy he freely 145 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: gives to his children. Know because His love was poured 146 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 3: out for you, and his grace poured upon you, you 147 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 3: will share in the joyful inheritance of the Lord. Lift 148 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: your spirit to praise the Lord for his goodness and faithfulness. 149 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 3: Satisfy the craving of your soul with his salvation. Close 150 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: your eyes and clear your mind of any distractions. Take 151 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 3: a deep breath, focus on the power and strength of 152 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 3: the Lord. Exhale slowly, and let go of any anxious thoughts. 153 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: Fill your mind with thoughts of the many miracles you 154 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,199 Speaker 3: have heard about in God's word and of the miracles 155 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 3: you have witnessed in your life. Allow these thoughts to 156 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 3: draw you closer to God, to take you to a 157 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: quiet place where you can rest peacefully through the night. 158 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,599 Speaker 3: Think of a time in your life when you rebelled 159 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 3: against God, or when you put other people and possessions 160 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: above the Lord. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin, Confess any idols 161 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 3: you are still holding on to ask for his forgiveness 162 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: and for his mercy. Take a deep breath, be filled 163 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: with His love and grace. Exhale slowly, and release any 164 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 3: sin and shame you are still holding on to completely 165 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: surrender to the Lord. Know he is always faithful to 166 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: forgive us and bless us even when we are not 167 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 3: faithful to him. Rejoice in his salvation. Praise Him for 168 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 3: his love and mercy.
