4
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:33,080

5
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,560

6
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:46,479

7
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: in your sovereignty to carry me through the night. You

8
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: are the greatest source of help against the foe, and

9
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: divine intervention is the only solution to man's vain attempts

10
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: at self salvation. In this moment of quiet reflection, I

28
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm sixty. The darkness and

29
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: stillness of the night can make us feel alone. Our

30
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: anxious thoughts are sometimes our only company. As you lay

31
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: down to sleep, invite the presence of God into your

32
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: space and allow him to refresh your mind, body, and soul.

33
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: Know you are never alone. God is always with you. No,

34
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: He is the almighty, sovereign Lord who has the power

35
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: and strength to lift your burdens and give you rest.

36
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath. Feel his power and strength fill

37
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: your lungs. Hold your breath for a few seconds, Exhale

38
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: slowly and feel his power and strength lift your burdens

39
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: from your shoulders. Relaxing your body, lightening your heart, calming

40
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: your mind. Breathe in and out slowly. Feel the power

41
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: of His presence. Calm your mind, soul, and spirit with

42
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: his joy, hope, and peace. Meditate on his goodness, on

43
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: his faithfulness. Breathe in and out slowly. Open your mind

44
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: and heart to hear his voice. Ask for him to

45
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: speak to you through his word. Know his voice will

46
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 2: lead you to a quiet place where you can rest

47
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: safely and securely in His power and strength. When our

48
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: circumstances seem out of control, the Bible reminds us of

49
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: God's sovereignty and of his power to do mighty things. Tonight,

50
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: put your trust in God and find rest, knowing he

51
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: is in complete control of your life and of our world.

52
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: Psalm sixty from the King James version, says, O God,

53
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 2: thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou

54
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: hast been displeased. Oh, turn thyself to us again. Thou

55
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast broken it.

56
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: Heal the breaches thereof for it shaketh. Thou hast shewed

57
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: thy people hard things. Thou hast made us to drink

58
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: the wine of astonishment. Thou hast given a banner to

59
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: them that fear thee. It may be displayed because of

60
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: the truth Selah, that thy beloved may be delivered. Save

61
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: with thy right hand, and hear me, God hath spoken

62
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: in his holiness. I will rejoice. I will divide Shechem

63
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: and meet out of the valley of Sukhote. Gilead is mine,

64
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: Gilead is mine, and Manssa is mine. Ethhrom also is

65
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: the strength of mine head. Judah is my lawgiver, Moab

66
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: is my washpot over Edam, will I cast out my

67
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: shoe Phelictia triumph Thou because of me, who will bring

68
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edam?

69
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: Wilt not thou, o God, which hadst cast us off?

70
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: And thou, o God, which didst not go out with

71
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: our army. Give us help from trouble, for vain is

72
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: the help of man. Through God, we shall do valiantly,

73
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

74
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 2: Knowing God is in control can help us find freedom

75
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: from our fears and worries, and help us find hope

76
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: and peace in the middle of chaos. We never have

77
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: to face the darkness in our world alone. God is

78
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: there to help us and guide us through every situation

79
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: we face. Breathe in and out slowly. Know you can

80
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: rest safely and securely in God's mighty hands. Close your

81
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: eyes and take a deep breath. As your chest rises,

82
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: imagine God lifting his right hand to deliver you and

83
00:07:54,720 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: protect you. Exhale slowly and trust your enemy and troubles

84
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: will fall at the power and strength of his hands.

85
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath. When your chest fully expands. Exhale slowly,

86
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: releasing any tension in your body. Focus on God's promise

87
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: to help us overcome the evil in this world. Under

88
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: the banner of His truth, we will be victorious over

89
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: the enemy and over our fears and anxiety. Rest in

90
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: His sovereignty. Find peace in His mercy and love for you.

91
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: Acknowledge any unconfessed sin before the Lord. Confess any doubts

92
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: you have of God's power and sovereignty. Ask for his

93
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 2: forgiveness and for his help to turn back to him.

94
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath. Allow God's mercy and love to

95
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: wash over you. Exhale and release any guilt and shame

96
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: you are experiencing. Know He is always faithful to us,

97
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: even when we are not faithful to him. Praise God

98
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,880

99
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: been faithful to you. Thank him for the times he

100
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: has protected you and delivered you. Think of someone who

101
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 2: needs God's deliverance tonight. Pray he will intervene in their

102
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: circumstances and turn their heart toward him. Pray they will

103
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: find strength and hope in Him so they can sleep

104
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: peacefully throughout the night. Lay your requests before the Lord.

105
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: Tell him about your troubles and struggles. Know he is

106
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 2: always faithful and he will help you when you call

107
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 2: upon him. Pray for evil in this world to be revealed.

108
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: Pray God will administer his justice in our world and

109
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: will have mercy on those who love him. Pray for

110
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: God's protection as you seek to do his will in

111
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: a fallen world where so many oppose his word. Pray

112
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: he will give you strength to do what is right.

113
