<v Speaker 1>I'm Bishop T. D. Jakes inviting you to unwind your

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>mind and spirit with tonight's sleep song. The Lord has

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>sworn to David in truth, he will not turn from it.

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I will set the fruit of your body on your throne,

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>Psalm one, two, verse eleven. Dear Lord Jesus, thank you

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>for making us your dwelling place and remaining near to

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>your people. It is a privilege to have you close

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>and ever present in our lives. I want to be

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>like a guarden you walk through. I want to be

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>like the temple you dwell in. Be here and be

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>glorified in my life. Tonight, as I rest my eyes

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and slip in to sleep, establish your peace here in

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>my life. May your kingdom come and your will be done.

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>May your salvation be rooted in my heart, springing forth

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>fruit for all the world to see in Jesus' name. Amen,

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:52.640

<v Speaker 1>a nightly encouragement.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Hello, I'm Grace for tonight's sleep song by pray dot Com.

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 2>We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and thirty two.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Open your mind and heart to receive God's word. Focus

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>on controlling your breathing to help clear your mind and

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.959
<v Speaker 2>settle your heart. Take a deep breath through your nose.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 2>Feel the air flow through your lungs into your abdomen. Exhale,

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.640
<v Speaker 2>slowly pushing the air outward to flow throughout your body

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>to rejuvenate you and relax you. Take a few more

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 2>deep breaths with your next exhale. Find relief from today's

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 2>stress and anxiety by releasing it into the hands of God.

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Breathe in and out with your next exhale. Release any

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:49.880
<v Speaker 2>tension in your body as your mind quiets. Meditate on

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>the promises of the Lord. Know he honors his covenants

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and he secures his people with his salvation. Put your

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 2>trust in him, knowing you are safe in his hands.

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Breathe in and out slowly, close your eyes and get

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>ready to hear Tonight's psalm. If we honor God, the

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Bible tells us he will honor us. To night, lift

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>your spirit and heart, to exalt the Lord, and to

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 2>honor him with praise. Psalm one hundred thirty two from

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 2>the King James version says, Lord, remember David and all

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>his afflictions, how he swear unto the Lord and vowed

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 2>unto the Mighty God of Jacob. Surely I will not

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 2>come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 2>into my bed. I will not give sleep to mine

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>eyes or slumber to mine eyelids, until I find out

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>a place for the Lord and habitation for the Mighty

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.600
<v Speaker 2>God of Jacob. Lo we heard of it at Ephrita.

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>We found it in the fields of the wood. We

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>will go into his tabernacles. We will worship at his footstool. Arise,

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 2>O Lord, into thy rest thou and thy ark of

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:21.279
<v Speaker 2>thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 2>let thy saints shout for joy for thy servant David's sake.

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Turn not away from the face of thine anointed. The

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Lord hath sworn in truth unto David. He will not

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 2>turn from it. Of the fruit of thy body. I

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 2>will set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 2>my covenant at my testimony that I shall teach them,

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.160
<v Speaker 2>their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.640
<v Speaker 2>For the Lord hath chosen Zion, he hath desired it

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 2>for his habitation. This is my rest forever. Here will

0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I dwell, for I have desire, desired it. I will

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 2>abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 2>saints shall shout aloud for joy. There will I make

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>lamp for mine. Anointed his enemies, will I clothe with shame.

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>But upon himself shall his crown flourish. Even though promises

0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 2>can be hard for us to keep, know the Lord

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 2>always keeps his promises, and he always honors his commitments

0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 2>to us. Meditate on his goodness, on his faithfulness. Take

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>delight in his word, knowing you can trust him to

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>keep it. Take delight in his righteousness, knowing you are

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:58.599
<v Speaker 2>secure in his salvation. Take a deep breath, Lift your

0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:02.919
<v Speaker 2>spirit to praise the Lord Lord. Praise him for his salvation.

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Praise him for the mighty deeds he has done on

0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 2>behalf of his people. Exhale slowly and allow his thankfulness

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>and praise to overflow your heart with joy. Breathe in

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:25.679
<v Speaker 2>and out slowly. Close your eyes and imagine a holy

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 2>nation of God's people, a nation in which the spirit

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:34.440
<v Speaker 2>of the Lord rests. See the Lord pour out his

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 2>blessing upon his people. With his provision. He will feed

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>and satisfy them with his salvation. He will clothe and

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>preserve them. Know this is your future in Christ. Stand

0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>firm in your faith until the end, and He will

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>honor you with his crown of righteousness. Think of a

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>time you made a promise to God or another person

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 2>and did not keep it. Confess your tongue is quick

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>to speak when making an oath. Confess your inability to

0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>keep all of your promises that come out of your mouth.

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>Pray God will help you only make promises you know

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 2>you can keep. Take a deep breath. Allow His forgiveness

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>to wash over you and renew your spirit. Exhale slowly

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 2>and find peace in his forgiveness. Know he keeps his

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 2>promise to always forgive you and to redeem you and

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>restore you. Rejoice in the faithfulness of the Lord. Thank

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:51.760
<v Speaker 2>the Lord for always keeping his promises. Thank Him for

0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 2>being the one you can always count on in your life.

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank Him for the favor he has poured out upon

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 2>you and your loved ones. Think of a person who

0:09:04.480 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 2>is struggling to experience joy in their life. Pray God

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:12.319
<v Speaker 2>will remind them of the joy of his promises and

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 2>his salvation. Pray they will focus their thoughts on his goodness.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Lift your requests to the Lord. Know the Lord takes

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:27.680
<v Speaker 2>delight in those who seek him and love him. Tonight

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.960

<v Speaker 2>Pray for the Lord to help you honor Him in

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 2>everything you say and do. Pray you will serve him

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and bring him glory every day. Pray for the Lord

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>to help you fulfill the vows you make to him.

0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Pray he will keep you from making promises you cannot keep.

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>Pray for the Lord to help you rest in His
