Speaker 1: I'm Bishop T. D. Jakes, inviting you to unwind your
Speaker 1: mind and spirit with Tonight's sleep Psalm. Out of the depths,
Speaker 1: I have cried to you the Lord Psalm one thirty
Speaker 1: verse one. Dear God, Tonight, my soul will wait for
Speaker 1: you amid a phrenetic, anxious, and whirling world. I will
Speaker 1: remain still and watch diligently for you to move. Though
Speaker 1: everything around me is moving and causing destruction, I can
Speaker 1: trust that you are working in the margin, like a
Speaker 1: watchman in the night. I will remain steadfast and vigilant.
Speaker 1: I will put my hope in you and you alone,
Speaker 1: so the fickle nature of the world does not take
Speaker 1: my joy. Settle my soul tonight and show me your
Speaker 1: goodness as I dream. Reveal your pleasing and perfect will,
Speaker 1: and rejuvenate me for the day ahead. In Jesus' name,
Speaker 1: I pray Amen. Thank you for praying with me. I'm
Speaker 1: Bishop TD Jakes, inviting you to unwine your mind and
Speaker 1: spirit with Tonight's sleep Psalm. Prepare your heart for this
Speaker 1: devotional from the Book of Psalms, guiding you into a
Speaker 1: RESTful and bray yes under his watchful eyes. Thank you
Speaker 1: for joining me Bishop td Jakes for tonight's episode of
Speaker 1: the Sleep Songs podcast. If this episode blessed you, follow
Speaker 1: the podcast so you never miss a nightly encouragement.
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Grace for tonight's Sleepsalm by pray dot Com.
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and thirty.
Speaker 2: Breathe in the calm, fresh air, allow it to fill
Speaker 2: your lungs completely. Hold your breath. Breathe out slowly, allowing
Speaker 2: the air to flow through you, relaxing your body, calming
Speaker 2: your mind and settling your heart. Relax your neck and shoulders,
Speaker 2: open your chest and heart. Rest your hands gently by
Speaker 2: your side. With each breath, focus on contracting and relaxing
Speaker 2: different muscle groups until your body is softened, from your
Speaker 2: head to your toes. As you breathe in, contract a
Speaker 2: part of your body that is tense, hold your breath
Speaker 2: for a few seconds as you breathe out, release the
Speaker 2: tension in your muscles and relax your body. Breathe in
Speaker 2: and out slowly. Close your eyes and focus your thoughts
Speaker 2: on God. Remember he is your savior, redeemer, who fully
Speaker 2: knows you and fully loves you. His desire is to
Speaker 2: redeem you and restore you. Breathe in His love and mercy.
Speaker 2: Breathe out your sin and shame. Lift your burdens to
Speaker 2: your Savior, knowing ye will carry them to night and
Speaker 2: give you rest to Night's Psalm reminds us if we
Speaker 2: confess our sins to the Lord, he will be faithful
Speaker 2: to forgive us and purify us from our iniquities. Psalm
Speaker 2: one hundred thirty from the King James version says, out
Speaker 2: of the depths, have I cried unto thee? O Lord, Lord,
Speaker 2: hear my voice? Let thine ears be attentive to the
Speaker 2: voice of my supplications. If Thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities,
Speaker 2: O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with
Speaker 2: thee that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord.
Speaker 2: My soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.
Speaker 2: My soul waiteth for the Lord. More than they that
Speaker 2: watch for the morning. I say, more than they that
Speaker 2: watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord.
Speaker 2: For what the Lord there is mercy, and with him
Speaker 2: is plenteous redemption, And he shall redeem Israel from all
Speaker 2: his iniquities. Put your hope in the Lord for his
Speaker 2: love never fails, and his salvation rescues you and redeems you.
Speaker 2: Meditate on his righteousness, on his mercy, reflect on his
Speaker 2: unfailing love. Know you are secure in his salvation and
Speaker 2: you are saved by His love and grace. Take a
Speaker 2: deep breath, be filled with his love. Exhale slowly and
Speaker 2: feel his love flow through your veins, warming your heart
Speaker 2: and soothing your soul. Take another deep breath. Be filled
Speaker 2: with his righteousness. As you exhale, allow his righteousness to
Speaker 2: flow throughout your body, cleansing you, purifying you, renewing your
Speaker 2: mind and spirit. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin before the Lord.
Speaker 2: Ask for his forgiveness. Repent, and allow his salvation to
Speaker 2: redeem you. Thank him for not keeping a record of
Speaker 2: your wrongs and for his faithfulness to forgive you. Like
Speaker 2: God forgives you, be quick to forgive others. Confess any
Speaker 2: unforgiveness you have in your heart. Confess the records you
Speaker 2: have kept of others offenses against you. Ask God to
Speaker 2: help you let go of any anger and bitterness, and
Speaker 2: to help you love those who hurt you. Take a
Speaker 2: deep breath. Allow his righteousness to vindicate you his forgiveness
Speaker 2: to flow through you. Exhale slowly and let go of
Speaker 2: any shame you are carrying tonight. Know in Christ there
Speaker 2: is no condemnation. Know your sins are forgiven, and your
Speaker 2: redemption is in the salvation of the Lord. Rejoice in
Speaker 2: the salvation of the Lord. Thank Him for rescuing you
Speaker 2: and redeeming you. Thank Him for always forgiving you and
Speaker 2: loving you. Thank Him for the mercy he has shown
Speaker 2: you and for the grace he has given you. Think
Speaker 2: of a person who needs to experience the freedom and
Speaker 2: the joy of the Lord's salvation. Pray God will turn
Speaker 2: their heart toward him to receive his forgiveness and love.
Speaker 2: Pray God will remove their shame and fill their hearts
Speaker 2: with his peace and joy. Cry out to the Lord.
Speaker 2: Know he hears your prayers and he will answer them.
Speaker 2: Lift your requests to him. Ask for his provision and protection.
Speaker 2: Wait patiently for the Lord to move in your life
Speaker 2: and find comfort and hope in his word. Pray your
Speaker 2: loved ones will accept the Lord's salvation. Pray they will
Speaker 2: believe in His truth and commit to serving him every
Speaker 2: day and night. Pray the Lord's people and your nation
Speaker 2: will turn from their sins and humble themselves before the Lord.
Speaker 2: Pray he will heal your land and redeem his people.
Speaker 2: Pray the Lord will fill you with his hope and peace.
Speaker 2: As you lay down to rest, Pray you will sleep
Speaker 2: peacefully through the night. Take a deep, cleansing breath, Allow
Speaker 2: his forgiveness to wash over you, and his peace to
Speaker 2: fill your mind and heart. Exhale slowly and release any
Speaker 2: tension that is still lingering from to day. As you relax,
Speaker 2: rest in the presence of the Lord and allow him
Speaker 2: to restore you as you sleep.
