0:00:03.120 --> 0:00:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm Bishop T. D. Jakes, inviting you to unwind your

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>mind and spirit with Tonight's sleep Psalm. Out of the depths,

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I have cried to you the Lord Psalm one thirty

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>verse one. Dear God, Tonight, my soul will wait for

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>you amid a phrenetic, anxious, and whirling world. I will

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>remain still and watch diligently for you to move. Though

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.879
<v Speaker 1>everything around me is moving and causing destruction, I can

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>trust that you are working in the margin, like a

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>watchman in the night. I will remain steadfast and vigilant.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I will put my hope in you and you alone,

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 1>so the fickle nature of the world does not take

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>my joy. Settle my soul tonight and show me your

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>goodness as I dream. Reveal your pleasing and perfect will,

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and rejuvenate me for the day ahead. In Jesus' name,

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I pray Amen. Thank you for praying with me. I'm

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Hello, I'm Grace for tonight's Sleepsalm by pray dot Com.

0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and thirty.

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Breathe in the calm, fresh air, allow it to fill

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 2>your lungs completely. Hold your breath. Breathe out slowly, allowing

0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 2>the air to flow through you, relaxing your body, calming

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 2>your mind and settling your heart. Relax your neck and shoulders,

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 2>open your chest and heart. Rest your hands gently by

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 2>your side. With each breath, focus on contracting and relaxing

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>different muscle groups until your body is softened, from your

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 2>head to your toes. As you breathe in, contract a

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>part of your body that is tense, hold your breath

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>for a few seconds as you breathe out, release the

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>tension in your muscles and relax your body. Breathe in

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and out slowly. Close your eyes and focus your thoughts

0:03:55.080 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>on God. Remember he is your savior, redeemer, who fully

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:07.320
<v Speaker 2>knows you and fully loves you. His desire is to

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>redeem you and restore you. Breathe in His love and mercy.

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Breathe out your sin and shame. Lift your burdens to

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 2>your Savior, knowing ye will carry them to night and

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 2>give you rest to Night's Psalm reminds us if we

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>confess our sins to the Lord, he will be faithful

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>to forgive us and purify us from our iniquities. Psalm

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>one hundred thirty from the King James version says, out

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>of the depths, have I cried unto thee? O Lord, Lord,

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 2>hear my voice? Let thine ears be attentive to the

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 2>voice of my supplications. If Thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities,

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with

0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>thee that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:09.440
<v Speaker 2>My soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.839
<v Speaker 2>My soul waiteth for the Lord. More than they that

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>watch for the morning. I say, more than they that

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 2>watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord.

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 2>For what the Lord there is mercy, and with him

0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 2>is plenteous redemption, And he shall redeem Israel from all

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>his iniquities. Put your hope in the Lord for his

0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 2>love never fails, and his salvation rescues you and redeems you.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Meditate on his righteousness, on his mercy, reflect on his

0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 2>unfailing love. Know you are secure in his salvation and

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:56.039
<v Speaker 2>you are saved by His love and grace. Take a

0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>deep breath, be filled with his love. Exhale slowly and

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 2>feel his love flow through your veins, warming your heart

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and soothing your soul. Take another deep breath. Be filled

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>with his righteousness. As you exhale, allow his righteousness to

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 2>flow throughout your body, cleansing you, purifying you, renewing your

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:33.479
<v Speaker 2>mind and spirit. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin before the Lord.

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Ask for his forgiveness. Repent, and allow his salvation to

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 2>redeem you. Thank him for not keeping a record of

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.880
<v Speaker 2>your wrongs and for his faithfulness to forgive you. Like

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:54.559
<v Speaker 2>God forgives you, be quick to forgive others. Confess any

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 2>unforgiveness you have in your heart. Confess the records you

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>have kept of others offenses against you. Ask God to

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.280
<v Speaker 2>help you let go of any anger and bitterness, and

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to help you love those who hurt you. Take a

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 2>deep breath. Allow his righteousness to vindicate you his forgiveness

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>to flow through you. Exhale slowly and let go of

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:27.840
<v Speaker 2>any shame you are carrying tonight. Know in Christ there

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 2>is no condemnation. Know your sins are forgiven, and your

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>redemption is in the salvation of the Lord. Rejoice in

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 2>the salvation of the Lord. Thank Him for rescuing you

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:47.080
<v Speaker 2>and redeeming you. Thank Him for always forgiving you and

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 2>loving you. Thank Him for the mercy he has shown

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>you and for the grace he has given you. Think

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 2>of a person who needs to experience the freedom and

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:04.119
<v Speaker 2>the joy of the Lord's salvation. Pray God will turn

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 2>their heart toward him to receive his forgiveness and love.

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Pray God will remove their shame and fill their hearts

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.880
<v Speaker 2>with his peace and joy. Cry out to the Lord.

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Know he hears your prayers and he will answer them.

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Lift your requests to him. Ask for his provision and protection.

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Wait patiently for the Lord to move in your life

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:38.319
<v Speaker 2>and find comfort and hope in his word. Pray your

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 2>loved ones will accept the Lord's salvation. Pray they will

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>believe in His truth and commit to serving him every

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 2>day and night. Pray the Lord's people and your nation

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>will turn from their sins and humble themselves before the Lord.

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Pray he will heal your land and redeem his people.

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Pray the Lord will fill you with his hope and peace.

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 2>As you lay down to rest, Pray you will sleep

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 2>peacefully through the night. Take a deep, cleansing breath, Allow

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.720
<v Speaker 2>his forgiveness to wash over you, and his peace to

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:27.040
<v Speaker 2>fill your mind and heart. Exhale slowly and release any

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 2>tension that is still lingering from to day. As you relax,

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 2>rest in the presence of the Lord and allow him

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 2>to restore you as you sleep.
