28
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm twenty nine. Take a

29
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: deep breath. Feel your chest rise as you inhale, allow

30
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: your lungs to completely fill with air. Then exhale slowly.

31
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: Notice how your chest falls as the air expels from

32
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: your lungs, allowing the oxygen to flow freely throughout your

33
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: body to rejuvenate you and restore you. Take another deep breath.

34
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: As you breathe in, imagine being filled with God's peace.

35
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: When you exhale, imagine His piece spreading throughout your body,

36
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: releasing the tension in your muscles and easing your anxious thoughts.

37
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: Breathe in His peace and breathe out your stress from today.

38
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: Breathe in and out and focus your thoughts on God's

39
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: strength that sustains you through the night. Reflect on his sovereignty.

40
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: Know he is in control of our world and your life.

41
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: Trust in Him to night, rest in his comforting presence.

42
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: Feel your joints soften and your fingers and toes relax

43
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: as you surrender to the Lord. Now focus on opening

44
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: your heart to hear God's voice. Ask for him to

45
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 2: speak to you tonight. Allow his powerful voice to calm

46
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: your mind and heart. To night you can find rest

47
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: knowing God will give you strength to face whatever tomorrow brings,

48
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: and He will bless you with his peace to help

49
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: you sleep. Psalm twenty nine from the King Sames version says,

50
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: give unto the Lord, O, ye Mighty, give unto the

51
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory.

52
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: Do unto his name. Worship the Lord in the beauty

53
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: of holiness. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters.

54
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: The God of Glory thundereth. The Lord is upon many waters.

55
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of

56
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the

57
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: Lord breaketh the cedars. Yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars

58
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf.

59
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: Lebanon and syrion like a young unicorn. The voice of

60
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 2: the Lord divideth the flames of fire. The voice of

61
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: the Lord shaketh the wilderness. The Lord shaketh the wilderness

62
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds

63
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: to calve and discovereth the forests. And in his temple

64
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: doth everyone speak of his glory. The Lord sitteth upon

65
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: the flood Yea. The Lord sitteth king forever. The Lord

66
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: will give strength unto his people. The Lord will bless

67
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: his people with peace. Meditate on the Lord's majesty and power.

68
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: Bask in his glory, feeling his radiant light shining upon you,

69
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 2: keeping you warm through the night. Breathe then and out,

70
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: close your eyes and imagine God in his glory, sitting

71
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: on his heavenly throne. Look at the brilliance of his light,

72
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: reminding you that you are not alone in the darkness

73
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: of the night. Hear his voice that is powerful enough

74
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: to break cedars and thunder over the waters, but gentle

75
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: enough to soothe your soul. As you lie down to sleep,

76
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: allow his sovereignty to bring you hope for tomorrow and

77
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: peace for to night. Take another deep breath. Feel his

78
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: strength fill your body and courage, fill your heart. Feel

79
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: your soul lighten as your worry and anxiety is lifted

80
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: by His mighty hands. Know when you feel weak and

81
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 2: limited by your circumstances, God will give you strength and

82
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: his power can help you to overcome anything you face

83
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: in this world. Just release everything to Him and be

84
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: comforted by His strength and sovereignty to help relax your mind, body,

85
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: and soul. Think of a time when you doubt it

86
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: God's power. Confess any fears and doubts you have. Know

87
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: He is always with you. His power is always available

88
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: to you. Take a deep breath, Allow his forgiveness to

89
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: wash over you as you exhale. Release any shame you

90
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: are experiencing. Know you are his and He will bless

91
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: you with his grace and peace. Tonight, think of a

92
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: time when God's strength helped you face a difficult time

93
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: in your life. Praise Him for his comfort. Praise Him

94
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 2: for the power he has given you to overcome this world.

Speaker 2: RESTful sleep that will refresh your soul and rejuvenate your body.

108
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath. As you exhale, release any tension

109
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: and stress that is still lingering from to day. Allow

110
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 2: God's peace to wash over you and relax your body.

111
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: Feel your body soften and your mind settle. As your
