Speaker 3: Hello, I'm grace for tonight's sleep Psalm by pray dot com.

41
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred. Begin by

42
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 3: getting in a comfortable position on the floor or on

43
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 3: a bed to allow oxygen to flow freely throughout your

44
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: body to restore your muscles and joints. Lie down flat

45
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 3: on your back with your knees bent and your feet

46
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: flat on the floor or on the bed. Use a

47
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 3: pillow to elevate your head and support your neck. Relax

48
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: your shoulders. Rest your hands gently by your side with

49
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: the palms facing down. Take a deep, cleansing breath. Exhale slowly,

50
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 3: and release any stress and tension in your body. Try

51
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: to control your breathing to relax your mind. Take a

52
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: deep breath through your nose. Feel the clean, calm air

53
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: flow through your lungs down into the depths of your belly.

54
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 3: Watch your belly expand. When your belly is full of air,

55
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: hold your breath for a few seconds, purse your lips

56
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 3: and slowly exhale, allowing the air to cleanse your body

57
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: and calm your mind. Focus your thoughts on God, meditate

58
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: on his goodness, on his faithfulness. Be still and know

59
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 3: that He is the Lord, our God. Inhale slowly through

60
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: your nose, and allow this truth to be sucked in

61
00:05:55,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: through your lungs and flow deep into your belly. As

62
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: you exhale and your belly contracts, allow this truth to

63
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: flow through you, rejuvenating your body and refreshing your soul.

64
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: As you relax, invite the presence of God into your

65
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 3: quiet space. Open your heart to him, and allow his

66
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 3: truth to comfort you and bring you joy and peace

67
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: to night. Psalm invites us to joyfully enter the presence

68
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 3: of God and find rest in his truth that transcends time.

69
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 3: Psalm one hundred from the King James's version says, make

70
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: a joyful noise unto the Lord. All ye lands, serve

71
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: the Lord with gladness. Come before his presence with singing.

72
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 3: Know ye that the Lord he is God. It is

73
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: he that hath made us, and not we ourselves. We

74
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: are His people and the of his pasture. Enter into

75
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 3: his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.

76
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: Be thankful unto him and bless his name. For the

77
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: Lord is good, his mercy is everlasting, and His truth

78
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 3: endureth to all generations. Meditating on who God is can

79
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: fill our hearts with joy and peace and comfort us

80
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: as we prepare for sleep. God's word reminds us the

81
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: Lord of all Earth is our creator and shepherd. Rejoice

82
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: and be glad in knowing the Lord of all creation

83
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: is the one who promises to care for us and

84
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: comfort us every day and every night. Breathe in and

85
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: out slowly, Bask in the presence of our creator. Take

86
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: delight in the wonderful work of his hands. Know the

87
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: same hands, if formed you, are the same hands that

88
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: will protect you and preserve you through the night. Close

89
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: your eyes and imagine walking through lush, green pastures in

90
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: the countryside where a babbling brook runs through its center.

91
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: See the sheep graze peacefully as their shepherd leads them

92
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: with his rod and staff. Take a deep breath, surrender

93
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: to your shepherd. Exhale slowly, and allow his hands to

94
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: lead you to still, quiet waters where your thirst can

95
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 3: be quenched, and lush green pastures where your appetite can

96
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: be satisfied. Rejoice in the satisfaction that comes only from

97
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 3: the Lord. Find peace in his presence. Think of the

98
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: ways you have doubted the faithfulness of God and the

99
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: truth of His word. Any doubts you have of God's goodness,

100
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: Lift any doubts concerning the truth of His word. Ask

101
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: for Him to help your unbelief and help you find

102
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: your faith once again. Take a deep breath. Know God

103
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: is not troubled by your doubts. Exhale slowly and let

104
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: go of any guilt your feeling tonight, allow the Lord's

105
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: presence to shed light on his truth. Come before the

106
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: Lord with thanksgiving and praise. Thank him for his provision today.

107
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: Thank him for his protection tonight. Thank him for his

108
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: love that sustains you and his faithfulness that restores you

109
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 3: all the days of your life. Think of a person

110
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: who is struggling with doubts about who God is. Pray

111
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: he will reveal his truth to didi them. Pray he

112
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 3: will restore their faith and renew their spirit. Lift your

113
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: requests to the Lord. Know he is your shepherd and

114
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: he cares for you deeply. Ask for his provision and

115
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: protection in your life. Know he will be faithful and

116
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 3: he will give you what you need to make it

117
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: through the day and to rest peacefully at night. Pray

118
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 3: for God to show you how to share your faith

119
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: with the next generation. Pray for opportunities to talk to

120
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: young children and adults about His everlasting love and truth.

121
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: Pray for God to fill your heart with gratitude. Pray

122
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: he will help you focus on His goodness and his

123
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 3: faithfulness when life is hard. Pray for God to keep

124
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: watch over you as you sleep. Pray you will feel

125
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: safe and secure in His hands. Take a deep breath,

126
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: Exhale slowly and release any tension that is still lingering

127
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: from today. Relax your neck and shoulders, stretch out your legs,

128
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: and soften your toes. Allow the presence of the Lord

129
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: to lead you to his green pastures where you can

130
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: rest peacefully through the night.
