Speaker 1: I'm Bishop T. D. Jakes, inviting you to unwine your

2
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: mind and spirit with Tonight's sleep song. In my distress,

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: I cried to the Lord. He answered me Psalm one

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: twenty verse one. Dear God, keep my heart far from

5
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: lies and hedge me in tonight by your mercy and grace.

6
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: When the corruption of culture corners me and tempts me

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: to compromise, rescue me swiftly. I pray not only for

8
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: rest from the weariness, but also for my spirit. The

9
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: longer I go without nourishment from You, the more susceptible

10
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: I am to temptation. Rejuvenate me tonight and give me

11
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: the power to thwart the lies of the enemy. May

12
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: tonight replenish my soul and conditioning for combating the kingdom

13
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: of darkness. I want to be equipped in every way

14
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: to battle boldly Tomorrow. Strengthen me tonight in you and

15
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: you alone. In Jesus' name, Amen, thank you for praying

16

43
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: Get in a comfortable position. Breathe in and out slowly.

44
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: Relax your neck and shoulders. Rest your hands gently by

45
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 3: your side or on your lap. Open your mind and

46
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: heart to hear God's word to night. Allow his voice

47
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 3: to speak life into you and his truth to comfort

48
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: you as you prepare for rest. Take a deep breath.

49
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 3: Cast all your anxiety from to day upon the Lord.

50
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: Exhale slowly and release the tension in your body and

51
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: let go of your anxious thoughts. Take a few more

52
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: deep breaths. Focus on your heart rate as you inhale

53
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: and exhale. Take longer deeper breaths to slow down your

54
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 3: heart and put you in a relaxed state of mind.

55
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: Breathe in and out slowly. Feel your hearts, settle, your

56
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: mind calm, and your body soften. Close your eyes and

57
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: surrender to the Lord. Prepare to receive his word. It

58
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: can be difficult to navigate this world as a faithful

59
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 3: follower of Jesus. But to Night's psalm reminds us we

60
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: can find rest in a foreign land by calling upon

61
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: the Lord and seeking his help. Psalm one hundred twenty

62
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: from the King James's version says, in my distress, I

63
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: cry unto the Lord, and he heard me. Deliver my soul,

64
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: O Lord, from lying lips and from a deceitful tongue.

65
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 3: What shall be given unto thee, or what shall be

66
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: done unto thee? Thou false tongue, sharp arrows of the

67
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: Mighty with coals of juniper. Woe is me that I

68
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,799
Speaker 3: sojourn in messeigh, that I dwell in the tents of Kadar.

69
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

70
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: I am for peace, but when I speak, they are

71
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: for war. No matter where you are to Night, No,

72
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: you are not alone, for God is always with you.

73
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: Know he is ready to listen to you, to help you,

74
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: and to guide you. Know you do not have to

75
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: navigate this world alone. Close your eyes and listen to

76
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 3: his still small voice, and find rest for your soul.

77
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 3: Take a deep breath, Lift up your concerns to the Lord,

78
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: Lift up any hurt and anger, your feeling. Exhale slowly

79
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: and allow God to take your concerns and your hurt

80
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 3: and anger in his hands and administer his justice and mercy.

81
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: Know the truth is not hidden from the Lord, and

82
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: he will intervene on your behalf. Put your trust in

83
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: him and rest in his peace. Confess any times when

84
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: you use your words to hurt or slander others. Confess

85
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: any envy or jealousy that is in your heart. Ask

86
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: God for his forgiveness. Ask God to help you use

87
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 3: your words to love and encourage others. Take a deep breath.

88
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 3: Imagine building others up with your words. Speak those words

89
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 3: over your self self tonight. Exhale slowly and release any

90
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: guilt and shame, and allow those spoken words to fill

91
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: your heart with hope and joy. Think of a time

92
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: when someone hurt you with their words or spread a

93
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: rumor about you, but God intervened and made things right.

94
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: Praise the Lord for restoring your reputation and healing your wounds.

95
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: Praise the Lord for comforting you during this difficult time.

96
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: Praise the Lord for his love that never fails you,

97
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: and for his peace that brings you through challenging circumstances.

98
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: Think of a person who has been slandered and humiliated.

99
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 3: Pray God will restore their reputation and reveal the truth

100
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: to others. Pray God will comfort them with his love

101
00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: and peace. Tonight, call on the Lord in your dea distress,

102
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: and He will hear you and answer you. He will

103
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 3: help you overcome your struggles, and he will help you

104
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: through your troubles. Pray God will help those living in

105
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: foreign lands or in lands where there is war. Pray

106
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: God will protect them and sustain them throughout the day

107
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: and night. Pray God will help you navigate the tension

108
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: of being in this world without being of this world.

109
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: Pray He will guard your heart and mind and find

110
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: comfort in His truth. Pray God will help you live

111
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: peacefully with others. Pray God will fill you with his

112

Speaker 3: With your next exhale. Release any tension that is still

115
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: lingering from to day. Calm your mind by listening to

116
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 3: the tender whispers of love that speak to your heart

117
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: and consume the lies you have been told. Breathe in

118
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 3: and out slowly, allow God's love and peace to wash

119
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 3: over you and come for you as you sleep tonight.
