8
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: to them, while prightful people press against your power. I

9
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: want to be humble enough to be transformed by it.

10
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: I want to work behind uniquely and follow wherever you go.

11
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,920

25
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm two before listening to

26
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: God's word. It is important to relax your body, clear

27
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: your mind, and settle your heart. Let's prepare to receive

28
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: God's word by getting in a comfortable position and doing

29
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: some breathing exercises. First, get comfortable by laying down flat

30
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: on a bed or a couch, or by sitting straight

31
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: up in your favorite chair. Relax your neck and shoulders,

32
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: Rest your arms gently by your side, and take a

33
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: few deep breaths. Close your eyes and breathe in and

34
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: out slowly. As you inhale, allow your chest to fully

35
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: expand exhale slowly and release the stress in your muscles.

36
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: Feel your joints soften and your feet relax. Take another

37
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: deep breath and clear your mind your thoughts on God.

38
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Remember who he is, the sovereign one that works every

39
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: day and night on your behalf. He is working tonight

40
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: to relieve you of the stress you are carrying from today,

41
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: and to give you peaceful rest through the night. Breathe

42
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: in and out slowly, surrender to God and listen for

43
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: his voice of truth to comfort you as you sleep tonight.

44
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: You can find rest in knowing God is in complete

45
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: control no matter what's going on in our lives and

46
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: the world around us. We can find peace in His sovereignty,

47
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: and we can find hope in knowing those who place

48
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: their trust in Him will be blessed. Psalm Too from

49
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: the King James version says, why do the heathen rage

50
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of

51
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together

52
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, let us

53
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us.

54
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord

55
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto

56
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure.

57
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill

58
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: of Zion, I will declare the decree the Lord hath

59
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: said unto me, thou art, my son. This day have

60
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: I begotten THEE ask of me? And I shall give

61
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: thee thy heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts

62
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them

63
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: with a rod of iron, Thou shalt dash them in

64
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: pieces like a potter's vessel. Be Wise now, therefore, O

65
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: ye kings, be instructed, Ye judges of the earth. Serve

66
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the

67
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: sun lest he be angry. And ye perish from the

68
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: way when his wrath is kindled. But a little blessed

69
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: are all they that put their trust in Him. When

70
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: the chaos of this world becomes too much to bear,

71
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: take refuge in God, Knowing he is sovereign over all

72
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: the nations and the rulers, sovereign over every aspect of

73
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: our lives. Nothing happens without his approval, nothing falls from

74
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: his grasp, nothing surprises him. He responds to everything that

75
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: happens in this world, and he knows what to do

76
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: in every situation. Let's focus on taking deep breaths to

77
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: calm our minds and settle our hearts. Take a big,

78
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: deep breath, allow your chest to fully expand when you exhale,

79
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: release all your fears and worries concerning this world. Put

80
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: your hope and trust in God. Bree then and out.

81
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: Feel His love and peace wash over you. Bask in

82
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: his presence, knowing you are safe in his hands. Bree

83
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: then and out slowly, close your eyes and focus on

84
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: God and the freedom you have in him. Praise Him

85
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: for freeing you from the chains and shackles of this world,

86
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: from saving you from the path of sin and destruction

87
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: that so many follow. Find comfort in his sovereignty, knowing

88
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: he is the King of kings and his rule can

89
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: never be overthrown. Breath then and out slowly. Imagine His

90
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: protection surrounding you, keeping you secure as you rest through

91
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: the night. Think of a time when your circumstances or

92
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: the circumstances in this world, made you fearful and kept

93
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: you from God. Confess where you have allowed fear to

94
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: hinder your relationship with God. Lift your fears to Him

95
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: so that he can put them to rest tonight. Take

96
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: a deep breath and be filled with his grace. As

97
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: you breathe out, let go of your guilt and shame.

98
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: Surrender to God's love and find inner peace and rest.

99
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: Praise Him for taking your fears and helping you find rest.

100
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: Praise Him for your salvation and how he has changed

101
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: your life. Praise Him for the good things he is

102
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: doing in your life. Think of someone you know who

103
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: is struggling with fear due to what's happening in this world.

104
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: Pray God will help them put their trust in Him

105
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: and break free from their fear to find rest. Tonight,

107
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: anxieties on him. Allow His hope and peace to fill

108
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: your heart and mind, and his comfort to help you

109
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,800

110
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: himself to the leaders of the world, and pray they

111
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: will seek him and his wisdom as they rule over

112
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: the nations. Pray God will help you submit to him

113
