23
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: few moments with God. Close your eyes, take a deep

24
00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: breath in, then breathe. Now, take captive every thought and

25
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: shift your attention to the word of God. We will

26
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: be meditating on Psalm chapter one hundred twenty seven, verse

27
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: two from the King James version. It is vain for

28
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: you to rise up early, to sit up late, to

29
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: eat the bread of sorrows, for so He giveth his

30
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: beloved sleep. Take a moment to pour out your adoration

31
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: to God. I will bless the Lord at all times.

32
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: His praise will always be in my mouth. My soul

33
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: will make its boast in the Lord. The humble will

34
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: hear and pelefe Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and

35
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: let us exalt his name together. Restlessness is pointless. No

36
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: good comes from being anxious, from starting work early and

37
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: staying late. It is futile to lose sleep worrying over

38
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: the outcome of your efforts because you cannot guarantee your

39
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: own success. You must trust in God, for it is

40
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: he who blesses you. It is he who gives you

41
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: prosperity and rest. For your body to function at full capacity,

42
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: it requires great sleep quality. Rest refreshes and rejuvenates your body, spirit,

43
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: and mind and soul. It affects your day and its outcome.

44
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: Do not forget sound sleep is a gift from God.

45
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 2: While you rest, God pours out his grace and gifts

46
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: upon your life. Perhaps your slumber has been impeded by

47
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: fretful thoughts. Present yourself before God in this moment. Tell

48
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: him what is robbing you of sleep. Confess your troubles

49
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: and distress to God because He cares for you. Now

50
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 2: take just a few minutes to dwell on the gifts

51
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: of God for your life. Thank Him because his rest

52
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: is restorative. Thank God because his grace is given to

53
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: you even in sleep. His word promises to bless the works.

54
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: Of your hands.

55
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: Thank the Holy Spirit for ministering God's peace to your

56
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: heart and mind, for comforting you in times of worry

57
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: and anxiety. Thank Him because His plans for you are

58
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: good and better than you could imagine. God is present

59
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: and he is listening to you. Wasting your effort on

60
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: what you cannot control will do you no good. Choose

61
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: instead to seek God and ask him to pour his

62
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 2: favor upon your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to give

63
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: you strength to overcome your daily obstacles, to guide your

64
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: steps into goodness and not evil. Ask the Holy Spirit

65
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: to bless the tasks you set your hands to and

66
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 2: to give you grace before others. God delights in your success.

67
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: He wants to see you happy and healthy. Remember, worry

68
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: and loss of sleep over your efforts will not ensure

69
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: your success. Neither will you achieve anything by killing yourself

70
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: with work. God's blessing is necessary for your endeavors to prosper,

71
00:07:52,560 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: and God freely offers that blessing to those who trust him.

72
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: So let go of the anxiety in your heart, your mind,

73
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: and your thoughts. Trust in the truth of God's word,

74
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: that He has the best for you, that He is

75
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: working things out in your favor. Lean on Him for support,

76
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: and sleep soundly in the knowledge God is watching over you.
