1
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm Bishop TD Jakes inviting you to unwine your mind

2
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: and spirit with tonight's sleep song. Oh come, let's worship

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: and bow down. Let's kneel before the Lord or Maker,

4
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: Psalm ninety five, verse six. Dear Lord, tonight, I want

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: to take your command to rest seriously. I want to

6
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: resist the temptation to strive and work tirelessly without stopping.

7
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: You offer peace to those who pause, and refreshment to

8
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: those who remain still in your blessing. Put my restless

9
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: mind at ease tonight, as I surrender to the gentle

10
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: embrace of slumber. Remind me that no worldly accomplishment is

11
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: worth sacrificing my peace In you, I do not want

12
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 1: to gain the world at the cost of my soul.

13
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: Anchor me in that truth tonight, and ussure me into

14
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: a peaceful sleep. In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen, Thank

41
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: Hello, I'm grace for tonight's sleep psalm by pray dot Com.

42
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 3: We will be meditating on Psalm ninety five. Tonight's psalm

43
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 3: is a song of praise to the Lord. So let's

44
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: get comfortable and prepare to lift our hearts and praise

45
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: the Lord. Lie down in a quiet room where you

46
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 3: can reflect on the glory of the Lord. Keep your

47
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 3: back flat and straight. Bend your knees and use a

48
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 3: pillow or blanket for support for your neck. Take a deep,

49
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: cleansing breath through your nose. Hold your breath for a

50
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: few seconds, then exhale slowly through your mouth. With each breath,

51
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 3: watch your stomach expand and contract, pulling the air from

52
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: your lungs and pushing it throughout your body. Relax your

53
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: shoulders gently. Rest your hands by your side with your

54
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 3: palms facing up towards the ceiling to lift praises to

55
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: the Lord. Close your eyes and meditate on the sovereignty

56
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: of the Lord. Picture him as the great King, enthroned

57
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 3: above all other kings. Know he holds your whole world

58
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 3: in his hands. Know there is not a safer place

59
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 3: to be than in his arms. Take a deep breath

60
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: and surrender to the Lord. Exhale slowly and lift to

61
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: day's concerns to him and feel the heaviness leave your chest.

62
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: Take a few deep breaths. With each breath, feel your

63
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: heart rates slow down, feel your mind calm, and your

64
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: muscles relax. As you get ready to listen to God's word,

65
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: ask him to speak to your heart and lead you

66
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: down a safe, secure path where you can find refreshment

67
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: for your mind, body, and soul. The Bible reminds us

68
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: of the greatness of our God, and if we listen

69
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: to his voice and follow his ways, we will find

70
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 3: rest in him. Psalm ninety five from the King James's

71
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: version says, Oh, come, let us sing unto the Lord.

72
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of

73
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving,

74
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For

75
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: the Lord is a great God and a great king

76
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: above all gods. In his hands are the deep places

77
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: of the earth. The strength of the hills is his. Also,

78
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: the sea is his, and he made it, and his

79
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: hands formed the dry land. O Come, let us worship

80
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord, our maker,

81
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: for he is our God, and we are the people

82
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. To day,

83
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart,

84
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: as in the provocation, and as in the day of

85
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: temptation in the wilderness, when your fathers tempted me, proved

86
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: me and saw my work forty years long. Was I

87
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: grieved with this generation and said, it is a people

88
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 3: that do err in their heart, and they have not

89
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: known my ways, unto whom I swear in my wrath

90
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: that they should not enter into my rest. To night,

91
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: come before the Lord with thanksgiving. Reflect on who he

92
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: is to you. He is the rock you can count on,

93
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: the Creator who delights in you and sustains you, and

94
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: the shepherd King who cares for you and protects you.

95
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. To renew

96
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: your mind and satisfy your soul. Focus on softening your

97
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 3: heart to the Lord. Close your eyes and picture your

98
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: heart contracting and relaxing with each heart beat. Breathe in

99
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: slowly and look deeper into your heart until you are

100
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 3: staring at its core, where you can see a faint

101
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: light resembling God's glory trying to break through. Breathe in

102
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: and out slowly focus on his life light. Visualize your

103
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: heart opening to the Lord's presence and allowing his glory

104
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: to completely fill your heart with his joy. As your

105
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: heart pumps oxygen into your veins, feel his glory flow

106
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: throughout your body, keeping you warm through the night. Think

107
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: of a time where you hardened your heart to the

108
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: Lord and followed a path that led you astray. Acknowledge

109
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: any unconfessed sin from that time. Ask God to forgive

110
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: you for your mistakes and to help you move forward

111
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: on his path of life and righteousness. Worship the Lord

112
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 3: in your heart. Lift your hands to praise his wonderful name.

113
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: Thank Him for his salvation that secures your future. Thank

114
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 3: Him for the ways he provides for you and protects you.

115
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: Think of a person who needs God's guidance. To night

116
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: pray God will draw them near and speak to their heart.

117
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: Pray they will listen to his voice and return to

118
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: his path where they will find rest. The Lord is

119
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: your shepherd and he wants to take care of your needs.

120
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: Ask him for his provision and protection. To night pray

121
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 3: you will recognize the Lord's voice and you will follow him.

122
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 3: Pray you will enter his rest. Pray your heart will

123
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: be filled with gratitude. Pray he will remind you of

124
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: his goodness and faithfulness in the darkness of the night.

125
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: Inhale and exhale slowly, breathe in the joy of the Lord.

126
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 3: When you breathe out, feel his joy brighten your heart,

127
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 3: warm your body, and ease your mind. Close your eyes

128
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: and allow your shepherd to lead you to his quiet pasture,

129
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: where you can renew your spirit and rest your body

130
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: and mind.
