From 72 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,799 Speaker 3: whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord 73 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 3: which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer for 74 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: thy foot to be moved. He that keepeth Thee will 75 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber 76 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper, The Lord is 77 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not 78 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 3: smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The 79 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve 80 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 3: thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and 81 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 3: thy coming in from this time forth and even for evermore. 82 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: While we rest in Him, we can be assured that 83 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 3: God does not slumber nor sleep.

Slowly focus your 88 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 3: thoughts on God. Reflect on him as your creator, the 89 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 3: maker of the heaven and the earth. Know the hands 90 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: that formed the mountains are the hands that can move 91 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: the mountains or help you climb the mountains. Find strength 92 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: in his power, Find rest in his sovereignty. Take a 93 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: deep breath, Bask in the powerful presence of the Lord. 94 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 3: Imagine him looking down on you, attentive to your needs, 95 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 3: aware of the dangers up ahead. Exhale slowly and allow 96 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 3: God's power to rest on you and prepare you for 97 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 3: your next steps on your journey. Know he will keep 98 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 3: you from evil, and he will guard your life in 99 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: his hands. You will sleep safely, securely through the night, 100 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: knowing he will never leave your side. Think of a 101 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 3: time when you put your hope in the creation rather 102 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,239 Speaker 3: than in the Creator. Confess any idols you are struggling 103 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: to let go. Confess any doubts you have of God's 104 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: power and strength. Ask for his forgiveness and for his 105 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 3: help in looking to Him for deliverance rather than to 106 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: the things and the people in this world. Praise the 107 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: Lord for the times he has helped you and delivered you. 108 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 3: Praise the Lord for watching over you and protecting you. 109 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: Every day and night. Think of a person who needs 110 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: God's help and deliverance. To night, Pray God will intervene 111 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: in their circumstances. Pray they will feel His presence and 112 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: protection to night as they sleep. Lift your requests to 113 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 3: the Lord. Look to the heavens and know your help 114 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 3: comes from the Lord, from the hands that made you. 115 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: Know he is upholding you with his hands. He will 116 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 3: not let you slip nor fall. Pray for God's help 117 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 3: and a specific area of your life. Pray you will 118 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 3: trust Him to deliver you at the right time. Pray 119 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 3: for God to be your strength. 120 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: To night. 121 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 3: Pray you will depend on Him for everything you need 122 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: throughout the day and night. Pray for God to protect 123 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 3: you and your family as you sleep, Pray you will 124 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 3: put your trust in Him and rest peacefully in his presence. 125 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,239 Speaker 3: Take a deep breath, look to the Lord for provision, 126 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 3: protection and peace. Exhale slowly and surrender to God. In 127 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: this sweet surrender, close your eyes and sleep peacefully, knowing 128 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 3: the Lord is watching over you through the night.
