1
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,

2
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: the ends of the earth your possessions. That's so to

3
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: an ape. God, my King and Lord, you have power

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: over the earth and all its nations. I don't want

5
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: to question your authority. I want to live and thrive

6
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: under it. I want to rest firmly Tonight's secure in

7
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: your goodness. I don't want to work against your plans.

8
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: I want to submit to them, while prightful people press

9
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: against your power. I want to be humble enough to

10
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: be transformed by it. I want to work behind uniquely

11
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: and follow wherever you go. As today draws to a

12
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: close and the night embraces me, give me peace and patience.

13

Speaker 1: Have patience with me. Lord, when pride consumes me, be

14
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: gentle with me. Oh my God, when my flesh takes command,

15
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 1: Bring me back to you when I stray, and show

16

Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep Psalm by pray dot Com.

26
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm two before listening to

27
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: God's word. It is important to relax your body, clear

28
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: your mind, and settle your heart. Let's prepare to receive

29
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: God's word by getting in a comfortable position and doing

30
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: some breathing exercises. First, get comfortable by laying down flat

31
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: on a bed or a couch, or by sitting straight

32
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: up in your favorite chair. Relax your neck and shoulders,

33
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: Rest your arms gently by your side, and take a

34
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: few deep breaths. Close your eyes and breathe in and

35
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: out slowly. As you inhale, allow your chest to fully

36
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: expand exhale slowly and release the stress in your muscles.

37
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: Feel your joints soften and your feet relax. Take another

38
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: deep breath and clear your mind your thoughts on God.

39
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Remember who he is, the sovereign one that works every

40
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: day and night on your behalf. He is working tonight

41
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 2: to relieve you of the stress you are carrying from today,

42
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: and to give you peaceful rest through the night. Breathe

43
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: in and out slowly, surrender to God and listen for

44
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 2: his voice of truth to comfort you as you sleep tonight.

45
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: You can find rest in knowing God is in complete

46
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: control no matter what's going on in our lives and

47
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: the world around us. We can find peace in His sovereignty,

48
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: and we can find hope in knowing those who place

49
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: their trust in Him will be blessed. Psalm Too from

50
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: the King James version says, why do the heathen rage

51
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of

52
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together

53
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, let us

54
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us.

55
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord

56
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 2: shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto

57
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure.

58
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill

59
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: of Zion, I will declare the decree the Lord hath

60
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 2: said unto me Thou art, my son, this day have

61
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: I begotten thee ask of me? And I shall give

62
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: thee thy heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts

63
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 2: of the earth for thy possession. Thou shalt break them

64
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: with a rod of iron, Thou shalt dash them in

65
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: pieces like a potter's vessel. Be wise now, therefore, o

66
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: ye kings, be instructed, Ye judges of the earth, Serve

67
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the

68
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: sun lest he be angry. And ye perish from the

69
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: way when his wrath is kindled. But a little blessed

70
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: are all they that put their trust in Him. When

71
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: the chaos of this world becomes too much to bear,

72
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: take refuge in God, Knowing he is sovereign over all

73
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: the nations and the rulers, sovereign over every aspect of

74
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: our lives. Nothing happens without his approval, nothing falls from

75
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: his grasp, nothing surprises him. He responds to everything that

76
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: happens in this world, and he knows what to do

77
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 2: in every situation. Let's focus on taking deep breaths to

78
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: calm our minds and settle our hearts. Take a big,

79
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: deep breath, allow your chest to fully expand. When you exhale,

80
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: release all your fears and worries concerning this world. Put

81
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: your hope and trust in God. Bree then and out.

82
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 2: Feel His love and peace wash over you. Bask in

83
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: his presence, knowing you are safe in his hands. Bree

84
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: then and out slowly, close your eyes and focus on

85
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: God and the freedom you have in him. Praise Him

86
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: for freeing you from the chains and shackles of this world,

87
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: from saving you from the path of sin and destruction

88
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: that so many follow. Find comfort in his sovereignty, knowing

89
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: he is the King of kings and his rule can

90
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: never be overthrown. Breath then and out slowly. Imagine His

91
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: protection surrounding you, keeping you secure as you rest through

92
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: the night. Think of a time when your circumstances or

93
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: the circumstances in this world, made you fearful and kept

94
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: you from God. Confess where you have allowed fear to

95
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: hinder your relationship with God. Lift your fears to Him

96
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: so that he can put them to rest tonight. Take

97
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: a deep breath and be filled with his grace. As

98
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: you breathe out. Let go of your guilt and shame.

99
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: Surrender to God's love and find inner peace and rest.

100
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 2: Praise Him for taking your fears and helping you find rest.

101
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: Praise Him for your salvation and how he has changed

102
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: your life. Praise Him for the good things he is

103
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: doing in your life. Think of someone you know who

104
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: is struggling with fear due to what's happening in this world.

105
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: Pray God will help them put their trust in Him

106
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: and break free from their fear to find rest. Tonight,

107
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: lay your requests before God. Cast all your cares and

108
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: anxieties on him. Allow His hope and peace to fill

109
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: your heart and mind, and his comfort to help you

110
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: experience a deep, RESTful sleep. Tonight, Pray God will reveal

111
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: himself to the leaders of the world, and pray they

112
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: will seek him and his wisdom as they rule over

113
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: the nations. Pray God will help you submit to him

114
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: by putting your trust in Him and following his path

115
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: of righteousness. Pray God will fill your heart with hope

00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: for the future. Pray God will help you find rest

00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: in knowing He is in control. Tonight, breathe in and
