WEBVTT - Psalm 2

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 1>the ends of the earth your possessions. That's to an ape. God,

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>my King and Lord, you have power over the earth

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>and all its nations. I don't want to question your authority.

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to live and thrive under it. I want

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>to rest firmly Tonight's secure in your goodness. I don't

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>want to work against your plans. I want to submit

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>to them, while prightful people press against your power. I

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>want to be humble enough to be transformed by it.

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to work behind uniquely and follow wherever you go.

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>As today draws to a close and the night embraces me,

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:20.279
<v Speaker 1>give me peace and patience. Have patience with me, Lord,

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>when pride consumes me, be gentle with me. Oh my God,

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>when my flesh takes command, Bring me back to you

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:42.720
<v Speaker 1>when I stray, and show me your glory and your ways.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, Thank you for praying

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>with me. I'm besure. Tdjakes inviting you to unwind your

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep Psalm by pray dot Com.

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>We will be meditating on Psalm two before listening to

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 2>God's word. It is important to relax your body, clear

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>your mind, and settle your heart. Let's prepare to receive

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>God's word by getting in a comfortable position and doing

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>some breathing exercises. First, get comfortable by laying down flat

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>on a bed or a couch, or by sitting straight

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>up in your favorite chair. Relax your neck and shoulders,

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Rest your arms gently by your side, and take a

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 2>few deep breaths. Close your eyes and breathe in and

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 2>out slowly. As you inhale, allow your chest to fully

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 2>expand exhale slowly and release the stress in your muscles.

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Feel your joints soften and your feet relax. Take another

0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>deep breath and clear your mind your thoughts on God.

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>Remember who he is, the sovereign one that works every

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>day and night on your behalf. He is working tonight

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 2>to relieve you of the stress you are carrying from today,

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>and to give you peaceful rest through the night. Breathe

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 2>in and out slowly, surrender to God and listen for

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:29.160
<v Speaker 2>his voice of truth to comfort you as you sleep tonight.

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 2>You can find rest in knowing God is in complete

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 2>control no matter what's going on in our lives and

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 2>the world around us. We can find peace in His sovereignty,

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.919
<v Speaker 2>and we can find hope in knowing those who place

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>their trust in Him will be blessed. Psalm Too from

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the King James version says, why do the heathen rage

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 2>and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of

0:04:56.760 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 2>the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together

0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, let us

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 2>break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.719
<v Speaker 2>He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 2>them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure.

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>of Zion, I will declare the decree the Lord hath

0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 2>said unto me, thou art, my son. This day have

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I begotten THEE ask of me? And I shall give

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 2>thee thy heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.599
<v Speaker 2>of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 2>with a rod of iron, Thou shalt dash them in

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>pieces like a potter's vessel. Be Wise now, therefore, O

0:05:56.400 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>ye kings, be instructed, Ye judges of the earth. Serve

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 2>sun lest he be angry. And ye perish from the

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 2>way when his wrath is kindled. But a little blessed

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 2>are all they that put their trust in Him. When

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>the chaos of this world becomes too much to bear,

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 2>take refuge in God, Knowing he is sovereign over all

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>the nations and the rulers, sovereign over every aspect of

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>our lives. Nothing happens without his approval, nothing falls from

0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>his grasp, nothing surprises him. He responds to everything that

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>happens in this world, and he knows what to do

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 2>in every situation. Let's focus on taking deep breaths to

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>calm our minds and settle our hearts. Take a big,

0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 2>deep breath, allow your chest to fully expand when you exhale,

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>release all your fears and worries concerning this world. Put

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>your hope and trust in God. Bree then and out.

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Feel His love and peace wash over you. Bask in

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 2>his presence, knowing you are safe in his hands. Bree

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 2>then and out slowly, close your eyes and focus on

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 2>God and the freedom you have in him. Praise Him

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 2>for freeing you from the chains and shackles of this world,

0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 2>from saving you from the path of sin and destruction

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that so many follow. Find comfort in his sovereignty, knowing

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 2>he is the King of kings and his rule can

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>never be overthrown. Breath then and out slowly. Imagine His

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>protection surrounding you, keeping you secure as you rest through

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>the night. Think of a time when your circumstances or

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 2>the circumstances in this world, made you fearful and kept

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 2>you from God. Confess where you have allowed fear to

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 2>hinder your relationship with God. Lift your fears to Him

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>so that he can put them to rest tonight. Take

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 2>a deep breath and be filled with his grace. As

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 2>you breathe out, let go of your guilt and shame.

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 2>Surrender to God's love and find inner peace and rest.

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Praise Him for taking your fears and helping you find rest.

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Praise Him for your salvation and how he has changed

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 2>your life. Praise Him for the good things he is

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 2>doing in your life. Think of someone you know who

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>is struggling with fear due to what's happening in this world.

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Pray God will help them put their trust in Him

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 2>and break free from their fear to find rest. Tonight,

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>lay your requests before God. Cast all your cares and

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:12.920
<v Speaker 2>anxieties on him. Allow His hope and peace to fill

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.360
<v Speaker 2>your heart and mind, and his comfort to help you

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 2>experience a deep, RESTful sleep. Tonight, Pray God will reveal

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 2>himself to the leaders of the world, and pray they

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 2>will seek him and his wisdom as they rule over

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the nations. Pray God will help you submit to him

0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:36.319
<v Speaker 2>by putting your trust in Him and following his path

0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 2>of righteousness. Pray God will fill your heart with hope

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 2>for the future. Pray God will help you find rest

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>in knowing He is in control. Tonight, breathe in and

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 2>out slowly, take refuge in God, knowing He is blessing

<v Speaker 2>you and protecting you. Make a deep breath as you Exhale,
