1
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: not wither. Whatever they do prospers the Psalms, Chapter one,

4
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: verse three. Dear Lord, you are the source of life, love,

5
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: and fruitfulness. Tonight, as my head lays tently on my pillow,

6
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: I want to be planted by you, roots dug deep

7
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: into fertile soil, beside the flowing streams of truth, love

8
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: and life. Position me in the place of peace, and

9
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: give me purpose in your presence as I sleep. Make

10
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: me like a tree with branches reaching skyward, stretching upwards

11
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: toward the call of heaven. The wicked will wander and

12
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: their leaves will eventually wither. But I know if I

13
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: remain steadfast and you, I will run and never grow weary.

14
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: I will prosper because of your guidance, counsel, and spirit.

15
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: Bring me refreshment and life. In your word, Lord, teach me.

16
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: Teach my heart to be steel, like a tree planted

17
00:01:51,720 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: by living water. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen, thank

18
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: you for praying with me. I'm Bishop td Jakes inviting

19

Speaker 1: Prepare your heart for this devotional from the Book of Psalms,

21
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: guiding you into a RESTful embrace under His watchful eyes.

22
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining me, Bishop TD Jakes for tonight's

23
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: episode of the Sleepsalms Podcast. If this episode blessed you,

24
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: follow the podcast so you never miss a nightly encouragement.

25
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 2: Hello er, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep Psalm by Prey

26
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: dot com. We will be meditating on Psalm one. As

27
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: you lay down, relax your neck and shoulders, rest your

28
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: arms by your side, and take a few deep breaths.

29
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: Close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly. Try

30
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: to control your breathing to help your body relax. Breathe

31
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: in and out slowly. Notice how your chest rises and

32
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: falls with each breath. The slower you inhale, the more

33
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: your chest expands. When you exhale. After allowing your chest

34
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: to fully expand, more oxygen will flow to rejuvenate your body.

35
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: Take another deep breath and release any stress and tension

36
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: in your muscles. As you exhale, clear your mind and

37
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: focus your thoughts on God. Remember who He is, the

38
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: all powerful one that knows you. Seize you and loves you.

39
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: He knows the weight of what you are carrying from

40
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: to day, and he is ready to lift your burdens

41
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: and give you rest for your mind, body, and soul.

42
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: Bring to day's worries and anxieties to him. Know he

43
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: cares for you. Know he came to bring you a

44
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: life filled with joy, hope, and peace. Focus on his promises,

45
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: on his goodness. Bry then and out slowly, open your

46
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: mind and heart to hear his voice. Ask for him

47
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: to speak to you through his word. Know his voice

48
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: will lead you to a safe, quiet place where you

49
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: can rest in him. To night, you can find rest

50
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: in knowing God's word can and will sustain you. The

51
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 2: Bible promises those who take delight in God's word will

52
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: be blessed and refreshed. Psalm one from the King James's

53
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: version says, blessed is the man that walketh not in

54
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: the council of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way

55
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

56
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 2: But his delight is in the law of the Lord.

57
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: And in his law doth he meditate day and night.

58
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: And he shall be like a tree planted by the

59
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 2: rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season.

60
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: His leef also shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth

61
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 2: shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, but are like

62
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: the chaff which the wind and driveth away. Therefore the

63
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 2: ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in

64
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the

65
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly

66
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: shall perish. Meditating on God's word before you go to

67
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: sleep fills your heart with joy and your spirit with delight.

68
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: You can find peace knowing God is always watching over you,

69
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: protecting you through the night. Bask in his presence, Feel

70
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: his peace wash over you. Breathe in and out slowly

71
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: with your eyes closed. Imagine being firmly rooted in His love,

72
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: grace and truth, and quenching your thirst in his spirits

73
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: of eternal life. No God can sustain you where you are.

74
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 2: Focus on God and his faithfulness to keep you and

75
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: watch over you. Praise Him for always keeping his promises

76
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: and for being your firm foundation. Thank Him for his

77
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: flawless word in which you can take delight, and for

78
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,679
Speaker 2: his powerful presence in which you can find satisfaction. Draw

79
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: near to Him so that you can grow and live

80
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: a fruitful life by bringing others to him. Reflect on

81
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: your life and think of areas in which you can

82
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: surrender to Him and be more fruitful. Confess times when

83
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: you have allowed the ways of this world to distract

84
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: you from His way. Breathe in his forgiveness as you exhale,

85
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: Let go of your guilt and shame. Surrender to God's love,

86
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: and find inner peace and rest for your mind, body,

87
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 2: and soul in this sweet surrender. Take delight in the

88
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: Lord and his goodness. Allow his joy to lighten your

89
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: heavy heart. Praise Him for the times he has protected you.

90
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: Praise Him for the people he put in your life

91
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: to bring you closer to him. Praise Him for the

92
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 2: opportunities he has given you to bring others to Him

93
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: and to bear fruit in your life. Think of someone

94
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: you know who might need to feel God's presence and

95
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: pray for them to find rest to night. Pray God

96

Speaker 2: your life who will encourage you to walk with Him.

100

Speaker 2: you exhale, release any tension and stress that is still

105
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 2: lingering from to day. Relax your neck and shoulders. Feel

106
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 2: your body soften and your mind settle. As your body relaxes,
