Speaker 1: Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
Speaker 1: the ends of the earth your possessions. That's to an ape. God,
Speaker 1: my King and Lord, you have power over the earth
Speaker 1: and all its nations. I don't want to question your authority.
Speaker 1: I want to live and thrive under it. I want
Speaker 1: to rest firmly Tonight's secure in your goodness. I don't
Speaker 1: want to work against your plans. I want to submit
Speaker 1: to them, while prightful people press against your power. I
Speaker 1: want to be humble enough to be transformed by it.
Speaker 1: I want to work behind uniquely and follow wherever you go.
Speaker 1: As today draws to a close and the night embraces me,
Speaker 1: give me peace and patience. Have patience with me, Lord,

Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep Psalm by pray dot Com.
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm two before listening to
Speaker 2: God's word. It is important to relax your body, clear
Speaker 2: your mind, and settle your heart. Let's prepare to receive
Speaker 2: God's word by getting in a comfortable position and doing
Speaker 2: some breathing exercises. First, get comfortable by laying down flat
Speaker 2: on a bed or a couch, or by sitting straight
Speaker 2: up in your favorite chair. Relax your neck and shoulders,
Speaker 2: Rest your arms gently by your side, and take a
Speaker 2: few deep breaths. Close your eyes and breathe in and
Speaker 2: out slowly. As you inhale, allow your chest to fully
Speaker 2: expand exhale slowly and release the stress in your muscles.
Speaker 2: Feel your joints soften and your feet relax. Take another
Speaker 2: deep breath and clear your mind your thoughts on God.
Speaker 2: Remember who he is, the sovereign one that works every
Speaker 2: day and night on your behalf. He is working tonight
Speaker 2: to relieve you of the stress you are carrying from today,
Speaker 2: and to give you peaceful rest through the night. Breathe
Speaker 2: in and out slowly, surrender to God and listen for
Speaker 2: his voice of truth to comfort you as you sleep tonight.
Speaker 2: You can find rest in knowing God is in complete
Speaker 2: control no matter what's going on in our lives and
Speaker 2: the world around us. We can find peace in His sovereignty,
Speaker 2: and we can find hope in knowing those who place
Speaker 2: their trust in Him will be blessed. Psalm Too from
Speaker 2: the King James version says, why do the heathen rage
Speaker 2: and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of
Speaker 2: the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together
Speaker 2: against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, let us
Speaker 2: break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us.
Speaker 2: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord
Speaker 2: shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto
Speaker 2: them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Speaker 2: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill
Speaker 2: of Zion, I will declare the decree the Lord hath
Speaker 2: said unto me, thou art, my son. This day have
Speaker 2: I begotten THEE ask of me? And I shall give
Speaker 2: thee thy heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts
Speaker 2: of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them
Speaker 2: with a rod of iron, Thou shalt dash them in
Speaker 2: pieces like a potter's vessel. Be Wise now, therefore, O
Speaker 2: ye kings, be instructed, Ye judges of the earth. Serve
Speaker 2: the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the
Speaker 2: sun lest he be angry. And ye perish from the
Speaker 2: way when his wrath is kindled. But a little blessed
Speaker 2: are all they that put their trust in Him. When
Speaker 2: the chaos of this world becomes too much to bear,
Speaker 2: take refuge in God, Knowing he is sovereign over all
Speaker 2: the nations and the rulers, sovereign over every aspect of
Speaker 2: our lives. Nothing happens without his approval, nothing falls from
Speaker 2: his grasp, nothing surprises him. He responds to everything that
Speaker 2: happens in this world, and he knows what to do
Speaker 2: in every situation. Let's focus on taking deep breaths to
Speaker 2: calm our minds and settle our hearts. Take a big,
Speaker 2: deep breath, allow your chest to fully expand when you exhale,
Speaker 2: release all your fears and worries concerning this world. Put
Speaker 2: your hope and trust in God. Bree then and out.
Speaker 2: Feel His love and peace wash over you. Bask in
Speaker 2: his presence, knowing you are safe in his hands. Bree
Speaker 2: then and out slowly, close your eyes and focus on
Speaker 2: God and the freedom you have in him. Praise Him
Speaker 2: for freeing you from the chains and shackles of this world,
Speaker 2: from saving you from the path of sin and destruction
Speaker 2: that so many follow. Find comfort in his sovereignty, knowing
Speaker 2: he is the King of kings and his rule can
Speaker 2: never be overthrown. Breath then and out slowly. Imagine His
Speaker 2: protection surrounding you, keeping you secure as you rest through
Speaker 2: the night. Think of a time when your circumstances or
Speaker 2: the circumstances in this world, made you fearful and kept
Speaker 2: you from God. Confess where you have allowed fear to
Speaker 2: hinder your relationship with God. Lift your fears to Him
Speaker 2: so that he can put them to rest tonight. Take
Speaker 2: a deep breath and be filled with his grace. As
Speaker 2: you breathe out, let go of your guilt and shame.
Speaker 2: Surrender to God's love and find inner peace and rest.
Speaker 2: Praise Him for taking your fears and helping you find rest.
Speaker 2: Praise Him for your salvation and how he has changed
Speaker 2: your life. Praise Him for the good things he is
Speaker 2: doing in your life. Think of someone you know who
Speaker 2: is struggling with fear due to what's happening in this world.
Speaker 2: Pray God will help them put their trust in Him
Speaker 2: and break free from their fear to find rest. Tonight,
Speaker 2: lay your requests before God. Cast all your cares and
Speaker 2: anxieties on him. Allow His hope and peace to fill
Speaker 2: your heart and mind, and his comfort to help you
Speaker 2: experience a deep, RESTful sleep. Tonight, Pray God will reveal
Speaker 2: himself to the leaders of the world, and pray they
Speaker 2: will seek him and his wisdom as they rule over
Speaker 2: the nations. Pray God will help you submit to him
Speaker 2: by putting your trust in Him and following his path
Speaker 2: of righteousness. Pray God will fill your heart with hope
Speaker 2: for the future. Pray God will help you find rest
Speaker 2: in knowing He is in control. Tonight, breathe in and
Speaker 2: out slowly, take refuge in God, knowing He is blessing
Speaker 2: you and protecting you. Make a deep breath as you Exhale,
Speaker 2: release any tension and stress that is lingering from today.
Speaker 2: Relax your neck and shoulders. Feel your body soften and
Speaker 2: your mind settle. As your body relaxes, allow God to
Speaker 2: refresh your soul and bring you peace to help you
