Tonight, 62 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: the Bible reminds us the Lord is stronger than the 63 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 3: storms we face in our lives. His power and strength 64 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: can sustain us as we sleep. Psalm ninety three from 65 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: the King James version says, the Lord reigneth. He is 66 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 3: clothed with majesty. The Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith 67 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: he hath girded himself. The world also is established that 68 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old. 69 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: Thou art from everlasting. The floods have lifted up, O Lord. 70 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: The floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift 71 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 3: up their waves. The Lord on high is mightier than 72 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves 73 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure. Holiness becometh 74 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: thine house, O Lord, forever. Reflect on the creation of 75 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: the world. Think about the power that brought the world 76 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 3: into its existence and established it so that it cannot 77 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: be moved. Think about the mighty seas that roar and 78 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: rage throughout the day and night. Know the same power 79 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 3: that established the world is the same power that establishes 80 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: your steps, keeping you safe and secure through the night. 81 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: Take a deep breath. Allow the Lord's strength to fill 82 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: your lungs. Exhale slowly and feel his strength flow to 83 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: every bone, every muscle in your body, restoring you and 84 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: rejuvenating you as you rest in him. Close your eyes 85 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 3: and visualize the Lord as your king, clothed with majesty, 86 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: reining over all the earth, reining over your life. Know 87 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: in his power and strength he can strike down the 88 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 3: storms that threaten to overtake you. Take a deep breath. 89 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 3: As your chest rises. Picture the waves of the seas 90 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 3: rising against you. Listen to the pounding of the waves 91 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: as they crash back and forth. Exhale slowly and feel 92 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: the Lord's mighty hands strike down the waters. Hear his 93 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: thundering voice over the roar of the mighty seas. Breathe 94 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: in and out slow and find comfort in the strength 95 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: of the Lord. Think of a time when you buckled 96 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: under pressure and abandon the ways of the Lord. Ask 97 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 3: for his forgiveness. Ask for him to make your steps 98 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 3: firm and secure, just like he did with the foundation 99 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 3: of the world. Breathe in his holiness. Breathe out your 100 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: sin and shame. In his strength, you can stand firm 101 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 3: in the face of temptation. In his power, you can 102 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: overcome sin and death. Rejoice in the power and strength 103 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 3: of the Lord. Thank him for the times he has 104 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: protected you from the storm. Thank him for the times 105 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: he has delivered you with his mighty hands. Thank him 106 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 3: for his salvation that is secure in his righteousness. Think 107 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 3: of a person who needs God's strength to sustain them 108 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 3: during a difficult time. Pray God will satisfy them with 109 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: his provision and protection. Pray God will turn their heart 110 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 3: to him so they can experience his comfort and peace. 111 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 3: Cast your anxieties on the Lord, for he cares for you, 112 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: and his power is strong enough to relieve your fears 113 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: and worries. Pray God will help you follow his commands. 114 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: Pray God will help you be holy because He is holy. 115 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 3: Pray God will keep you in his perfect peace in 116 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 3: the middle of life storms. Pray you can experience deep, 117 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: RESTful sleep no matter what darkness surrounds you. Pray God 118 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 3: will protect you with his mighty hands as you sleep. 119 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: Pray you can rest safely and securely in Him through 120 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: the night. Breathe in and out, slowly, put your trust 121 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 3: in the Almighty God who never changes. Allow his power 122 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 3: and strength to restore your mind, body and soul as 123 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 3: you rest tonight.
