12
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: and vitality. I want my roots to dig deep into you,

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: causing fruit to bear from my branches, even in an

14
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: old age. Surround me with your righteousness, Lord, so that

00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: I can endure life's struggles. Clothes me in the whole

Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm ninety two. As we

30
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: prepare to listen to a psalm of praise. Let's open

31
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: our hearts to worship the Lord. Get in a comfortable position,

32
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: lie down flat on your back or sit straight up

33
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: in a chair. Maintain a good posture to open up

34
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: your chest and your airway. Take a deep breath through

35
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: your nose. Feel the fresh air, rejuvenate your lungs. Exhale

36
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: slowly through your mouth, and feel the oxygen flow to

37
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: your heart, lightening its load, allowing it to slow down

38
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: and relax. Close your eyes and think of all the

39
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: wonderful works if the Lord has done. Reflect on the

40
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: beauty of his creation, Reflect on the beauty in your life.

41
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath and feel the joy of His

42
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: works enter your lungs. Exhale slowly, and allow his joy

43
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: to flow through your veins and warm your heart. As

44
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: your mind and body relax, focus on receiving God's word.

45
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: Ask God to refresh you with his truth and remind

46
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: you of his faithfulness. Allow his voice to lead you

47
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: to a quiet place where you can rest Inhale and

48
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 2: exhale slowly. The Bible tells us cultivating a heart of

49
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: worship will bring a fresh perspective to our lives and

50
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: help us stand firmly in the Lord. Tonight, Let's praise

51
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: God and experience his joy and peace to lighten our

52
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: hearts and calm our mind as we prepare for rest.

53
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 2: Psalm ninety two from the King James's version says, it

54
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,

55
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: and to sing praises unto thy name almost high, to

56
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: shew forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy

57
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: faithfulness every night, upon an instrument of ten strings, and

58
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: upon the psultry, upon the harp, with a solemn sound.

59
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: For thou Lord hast made me glad through thy works.

60
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. O Lord,

61
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: how great are thy works, and thy thoughts are very deep.

62
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.

63
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all

64
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: the workers of iniquity do flourish, it is that they

65
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: shall be destroyed forever. But Thou Lord art most high,

66
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: for evermore. For lo thine enemies, O Lord, for lo

67
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall

68
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: be scattered. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the

69
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: horn of an unicorn. I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

70
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: Mine eyes also shall see my desire on mine enemies,

71
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked

72
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: that rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like

73
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

74
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: Those that be planted in the house of the Lord

75
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall

76
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be

77
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: fat and flourishing. To shew that the Lord is upright.

78
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

79
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: Meditate on the faithfulness of the Lord. Find joy in

80
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: his mighty deeds, in the wonderful works of his hands.

81
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: Close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly. Feel

82
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: your heart pump to the music of wonder and joy

83
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: playing in your soul. Hear your spirit shall praise est

84
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: to the Lord. Take a deep breath, lift your burdens

85
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: to the Lord. Exhale slowly, and allow his glory to

86
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: fill your heart and mind with sweet melodies of his faithfulness.

87
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: Breathe in and out slowly. Flourish in the Lord's presence.

88
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: Allow his provision to sustain you every day and every night,

89
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: keeping you healthy for life. Grow in the Lord's glory.

90
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: Allow his light to shine upon you and give you

91
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: strength to remain firm in the darkness of the night.

92
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: Firmly root yourself in God's word, and he will rejuvenate

93
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: your mind, body, and soul. Think of the last time

94
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: you spent praising the Lord during prayer. If your prayers

95
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: are filled with more asking than thanksgiving, ask him to

96
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: fill your heart with gratitude and your mind with positive thoughts.

97
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: Confess the times when you grumbled and complained rather than

98
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: humbled and praised Breathe in his forgiveness. Breathe out your

99
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: anxious thoughts. Know the Lord is patient with you, and

100
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: he will spend a lifetime giving you the nourishment you

101
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: need to help you grow into the person he create

102
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: hated you to be. Praise the name of the Lord.

103
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: Rejoice in his love and faithfulness. Thank Him for the

104
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: wonderful things he has done in your life. Thank Him

105
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: for being the rock on which you can stand. Think

106
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: of a person who needs to experience the joy and

107
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: goodness of God. Pray he will remind them of his

108
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 2: wonderful works and of his faithfulness in their life. Pray

109
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: he will renew their mind and spirit with his melody

110
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: of love. Lift up your requests to the Lord. Know

111
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: he is faithful and he is always working on your behalf.

112
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: Pray God will bring mature believers in your life to

113
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: encourage you in your walk with him. Pray God will

114
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: teach you his ways and help you grow in Him

115
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 2: so that you can stand tall and in the end.

116
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: Pray God will fill your heart with his praise and

117
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,479
Speaker 2: help you rest securely in the joy of His salvation.

118
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath, allow your lungs to completely fill

119
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: with air. Breathe out slowly, release any stress and tension

120
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: in your muscles. Relax your neck and shoulders as you

121
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: unwind for the night, Drift off to sleep, listening to

122
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: the sweet song of the Lord's goodness and faithfulness playing

123
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: in your heart
