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

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>mind and spirit with tonight's sleep. Psalm Let everything that

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>have breath praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, Psalm one

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty verse six. Dear Lord, the night is usually a

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>time for pondering the more profound things of life. But

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>it's my purpose. Where am I going? Who and what

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>do I truly believe? In? Tonight and every night. I

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:50.639
<v Speaker 1>want my meandering thoughts and philosophical wanderings hell within the

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>parameters of your truth. I want all roads to lead

0:00:56.560 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>back to you. With each passing night, I earnestly desire

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>to consider your goodness, meditate on your word, and praise

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you for your wonderful deeds. As the psalms always point

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>me towards your glory, I pray my thoughts would be

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>like highways to your kingdom. With every high and low

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>of my life, I pray my heart will always be

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>tethered to you. Keep my heart, mind, soul, and will

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>safe under your embrace As I sleep tonight and every

0:01:50.560 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>night after. May your peace be like a river refresh

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:19.880

0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's Sleep Psalm by pray dot Com.

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and fifty.

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Take a deep, cleansing breath. Allow the oxygen to fill

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 2>your lungs, rejuvenating you. Exhale slowly and feel the oxygen

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>flow throughout your body, healing you, restoring you from your

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 2>head to your toes. With your next breath, focus on

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>relaxing your body and releasing the stress in your muscles

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>and joints. Take a deep breath, contract the muscles that

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>feel tense. Hold your for a few seconds. Exhale slowly

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 2>and soften your muscles and joints. Relax your neck and shoulders.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 2>Rest your hands gently by your side. Take a deep breath.

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Lift your anxious thoughts to the Lord exhale slowly and

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 2>release the stress and anxiety from today. Take another deep breath.

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Open your mind and heart to hear God's truth. As

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>you exhale, allow his presence to calm your mind and

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 2>heart and to prepare you to receive His word. God's

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>word reminds us the importance of worship. Worshiping the Lord

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 2>fills our heart with joy and hope, and it unites

0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 2>his people and draws us closer to the Lord. Psalm

0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>one hundred fifty from the King James version says, Praise

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>ye the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary. Praise him

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.320
<v Speaker 2>in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 2>mighty acts. Praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>him with the sound of the trumpet. Praise him with

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the psultry and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance.

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 2>the loud symbols. Praise him upon the high sounding symbols.

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. The book of Psalms closes with the song

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>of praise. The Psalmist invites dancers and singers and musicians

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 2>to come and dance, sing and play the sweet song

0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 2>of surrender and joy. Tonight, unite with all of creation,

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>with all of the Lord's people, and sing a beautiful

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 2>song celebrating the One True God who is worthy of

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 2>all praise. Close your eyes and imagine a wonderful celebration

0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 2>taking place in the sanctuary of the Lord. Hear the

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 2>sweet sound of music playing to the sweet words of

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the Lord. Listen to the beautiful voices of his people,

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>singing together as one voice, rejoicing in the Lord in

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 2>one spirit. See the dancers sway back and forth to

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>the music, declaring the greatness of the Lord with their moves.

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Join the choir and the dancers, the symbols and the

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 2>tim and rejoice in the goodness of the Lord. Take

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 2>a deep breath, lift your spirit and heart to praise

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Him in the mighty heavens where he sits on his

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>glorious throne. Exhale and feel your heart overflow with joy.

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Bask in the glory of the Lord, in the light

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>of his presence. Feel his glory shine upon you, taking

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 2>delight in your praise, warming you with his love, hope

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 2>and joy. Rest in the powerful presence of the almighty God.

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Acknowledge any unconfessed sin before the Lord. Confess any doubts

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>you have of God's goodness. Confess any ungratefulness that is

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 2>in your heart. Confess any envy or jealousy you have

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 2>of other believers. Bring everything to the Lord and ask

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 2>him to transform your heart and align your spirit with

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 2>His will and his word. Breathe in his love and forgiveness.

0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Breathe out your sin and shame. Rest in the Lord

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 2>and his goodness. Know he will be faithful to complete

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the good work he began in you. Think of all

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 2>the mighty acts you have heard the Lord has done.

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.360

<v Speaker 2>for the wonderful things he will do you and through

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 2>you in the future. Think of a person who needs

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.800
<v Speaker 2>to hear of the mighty acts of the Lord. Pray

0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 2>God will empower you to share his salvation with them.

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Pray he will soften their heart and they will accept

0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:24.640
<v Speaker 2>His love, grace, and truth. Lift your requests to the Lord,

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Lift the desires of your heart. Ask the Lord to

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>continue to pour out his blessing and favor upon you

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and your family. Know you can call on him day

0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.160
<v Speaker 2>or night, and he will help you and comfort you.
