37
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: your life. Our goal for today's meditative Prayer again is

38
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: to fight anxiety. So hit pause for a second. Find

39
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: a safe and secluded spot where you can comfortably settle down,

40
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: close your eyes read then and now breathe out, and

41
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: as you exhale, imagine the tension leaving your body along

42
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: with that breath. Now take every thought captive and bring

43
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: your focus to the Word of God. Today we'll be

44
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: meditating on Psalm chapter ninety four, verse nineteen from the

45
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: King James version. It reads, when I am filled with cares,

46
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: your comfort brings me joy. Now take a moment to

47
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: just pour out your adoration to God for his blessings. Jesus,

48
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: I praise you. You are greater than my anxiety. Your

49
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: comfort brings me joy in times of fear. I adore you,

50
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: for you are the mighty and powerful God. Your vast

51
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: power stretches across the heavens and abides in my heart.

52
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: I worship you for providing me with joy, over lasting you. Guys,

53
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 3: life is and always a picnic. Unfortunately, your efforts won't

54
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: always produce your desired outcome. Hardships, unexpected loss, and persistent

55
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: problems will wear you down. Sadness will attempt to become

56
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 3: your constant companion. You must not accept this. You must

57
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: not give in. Finding comfort in God while nervous and

58
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: agitated is a difficult task, but you must rise to

59
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 3: the occasion. Although anxiety is a tough opponent, it is

60
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: not invincible. So stop for a second and allow God

61
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: to speak to your heart. Confess to Jesus the times

62
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 3: you gave up the fight, those times where the unease

63
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: was too much and the tension was too great, and

64
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: hand those failures over to Jesus. Cast your cares upon him.

65
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: Take just a few minutes to dwell on God's comfort

66
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 3: in your life. Thank Him because his comfort brings you joy.

67
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 3: Thank the Holy Spirit for helping and enabling you to

68
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: win this fight. Think of past victories his joy has

69
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: brought you. Thank God for watching over you in the

70
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: past and for continuing to do so forevermore. Thank God

71
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: that in his grace you will no longer be ruled

72
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: by apprehension or restlessness, but instead you will overflow with jubilation.

73
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: You will rejoice in the gratification of His word. Thank

74
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: God because in His love and through His strength, you

75
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: can do all things. God is present and he is

76
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: listening to you. The Bible says, ask and it shall

77
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: be given unto you. So today ask the Holy Spirit

78
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: to give you his consolation to help you stay in

79
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: the fight until the final round. Ask Him to be

80
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: your solace in support in times of need. Even when

81
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: life becomes impossible to beat and victory seems improbable, you

82
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 3: can still experience joy. As challenging as this may seem,

83
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: God has provided away. Remember God promised you joy through

84
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: comfort in times of distress. It doesn't matter how high

85
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: the hell your climbing may be. God will guide and

86
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: support you every step of the way. You must be

87
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: vigilant and not allow daily distractions or problems to steal

88
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: your joy, but instead seek God's reassurance in his word

89
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: and watch your life transform. God wants to fill your

90
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: heart with glee, in your life with great happiness, so

91
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: trust in Him today. My friends, thank you for completing
