27
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: deep breath, allow your lungs to completely fill with air.

28
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Hold your breath for a few seconds. Breathe out and

29
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: feel the oxygen spread throughout your body. Cleansing your mind,

30
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: body and soul. Clear your mind, and focus your thoughts

31
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: on God as the all powerful, sovereign one that sees you,

32
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: protects you, and sustains you. He knows your afflictions. He

33
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: knows the weight of the burdens you are carrying from

34
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: to day. He wants to give you rest to night.

35
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: Lift your burdens to the Lord. Take a deep breath.

36
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: As your chest rises, feel his mighty hands lift your

37
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: fears and worries. Hold your breath for a few seconds,

38
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: allow him to alleviate your stress and anxiety. Exhale slowly

39
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: and release any tension in your body. Feel your muscles

40
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: relax and your joints soften as you surrender to the Lord.

41
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: Take a d breath, open your mind and heart to

42
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: receive God's word. Exhale slowly and feel your heart rates

43
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: slow down as you relax. Ask God to speak to

44
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: you through tonight's psalm. Allow His truth to lead you

45
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: to a safe, secure place where you can sleep peacefully

46
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: through the night. The Bible reminds us God will rescue

47
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 2: us and deliver us from our afflictions. We never have

48
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: to worry about facing our troubles alone. Tonight, let's find

49
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: comfort in the powerful presence of the sovereign Lord who

50
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 2: will protect us and sustain us the night. Psalm seventy

51
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: six from the King James's version says in Judah is

52
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: God known. His name is great in Israel, in Salem.

53
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Also is his tabernacle and his dwelling place in Zion.

54
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: There break ye the arrows of the bow, the shield,

55
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: and the sword, and the battle. Selah, thou art more

56
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. The stout

57
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: hearted are spoiled. They have slept their sleep, and none

58
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: of the men might have found their hands at thy

59
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: rebuke O, God of Jacob. Both the chariot and horse

60
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: are cast into a dead sleep. Thou even thou art

61
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: to be feared, and who may stand in thy sight?

62
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: When once thou art angry, thou didst cause judgment to

63
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: be heard from heaven. The earth feared and was still

64
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: when God arose to judgment, to say, all the meek

65
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: of the earth, sayllah, surely the wrath of men. Surely

66
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: the wrath of man shall praise thee the remainder of wrath.

67
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 2: Shalt thou restrain thou and pay unto the Lord your God.

68
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 2: Let all that be round about him bring presents unto

69
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: him that ought to be feared. He shall cut off

70
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: the spirit of princes. He is terrible to the kings

71
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: of the earth. Meditating on the power and strength of

72
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: the Lord can put our minds at ease and help

73
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: us experience deep, RESTful peace at night. His power can

74
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: strike down our fears, and his strength can carry our burdens,

75
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: so that we may find rest. Breathe in and out slowly,

76
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: bask in the glory of God. Allow His radiance to

77
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: shine upon you, keeping you warm and safel your heart

78
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: with joy and peace. Fear God, and be in awe

79
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: of his majesty. Take a deep breath. Breathe in his

80
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: beauty and power. Breathe out any stress and tension. Think

81
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: of a time you made a vow to the Lord

82
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: and did not fulfill it. Confess any sins before him.

83
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Ask for his forgiveness. Pray he will help you be

84
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: faithful and keep your commitments to him. Take a deep breath,

85
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: Allow his mercy and love to wash over you. Exhale slowly,

86
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: and release any guilt and shame you are carrying with

87
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: you tonight. Know his salvation redeems you, and his power

88
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: and strength restore you. Rejoice in the power and the

89
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: strength of the Lord. Give God the glory for the

90
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: war wonderful things he has done in your life. Thank

91
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: Him for his protection and provision. Thank him for his

92
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: justice that he brings.

93
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: To our world.

94
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: Think of someone who needs to be filled with God's

95
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 2: strength tonight. Pray he will give them strength to face

96
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: their afflictions. Pray he will draw them toward Him as

97
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: they lay down to sleep, and help them find rest

98
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: in His protection and provision. Lay your requests before the Lord.

99
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,240

00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,800

102
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:50,000
