3
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: viow thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of

4
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: faithless men. They will not cling to me, Psalm one

5
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: oh one, verse three. Dear Lord, you are a god

6
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: of truth and transformation. You turn even the greatest of

7
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: sinners into saints and ambassadors of salvation. Nobody is beyond

8
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: your sanctifying work. As I relive the day's events tonight,

9
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I want to let go of your and judgment toward others. Instead,

10
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: I want to ponder the blameless way. I want to

11
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: look inward at my own house before criticizing others. I

12
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: want to walk with integrity and be guiltless before you

13
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: teach me to live out the words of Jesus by

14
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: relinquishing judgment and removing the spec from my eye. As

15
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: I reflect in these final moments before sleep, bring my

16
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:48,880

Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and one.

27
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: Sit straight up in a chair, resting your feet flat

28
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: on the floor and your hands gently in your lap.

29
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: Relax your neck and shoulders. Make sure your back is

30
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: straight and your chest is open. Take a deep breath

31
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: to cleanse your body. Breathe in the calm, clean air,

32
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 2: allow it to sit in your lungs for a few seconds.

33
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: Exhale slowly and feel the air flow throughout your body,

34
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: rejuvenating you and restoring you. Quiet your mind, focus on

35
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: God's love and faithfulness. Know He is always there to

36
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: help you and sustain you. Know He cares for you

37
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: and wants to give you rest. Take a deep breath,

38
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: be filled with the goodness of the Lord. Exhale slowly

39
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: and release the stress and anxiety from today and the

40
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: fears and worries you are experiencing tonight. As God lifts

41
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: your burdens, feel your heart lighten and your body relax.

42
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 2: Breathe in and out slowly, open your mind and heart

43
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: to listen to God's words. Ask him to reveal his

44
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: ways and to close his thoughts, for they are higher

45
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: than ours. Find comfort in His truth tonight, knowing it

46
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: will lead you to a safe, secure place where you

47
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: can rest. The Bible tells us what God requires of

48
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: us to complete his good work tonight. Find satisfaction in

49
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: doing the will of the Lord. Psalm one hundred and

50
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: one from the King James version says, I will sing

51
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: of mercy and judgment unto thee, O Lord, will I sing,

52
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O.

53
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: When wilt thou come unto me, I will walk within

54
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: my house with perfect heart. I will set no wicked

55
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: thing before mine eyes. I hate the work of them

56
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: that turn aside. It shall not cleave to me. A

57
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: froward heart shall depart from me. I will not know

58
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: a wicked person who so privily slandereth his neighbor him.

59
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: Will I cut off him that hath an high look

60
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: and a proud heart, will not I suffer. Mine eyes

61
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they

62
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: may dwell with me. He that walketh in a perfect way,

63
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: he shall serve me. He that walketh deceit shall not

64
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: dwell within my house. He that telleth lies shall not

65
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: tarry my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked

66
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,239
Speaker 2: of the land, that I may cut off all wicked

67
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 2: doers from the city of the Lord. Meditate on the

68
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: statuses and precepts of the Lord. Focus your thoughts on

69
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: whatever is true, noble and right. Focus on whatever is

70
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: praiseworthy and excellent in the eyes of the Lord. Rejoice

71
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: in his truth. Know his ways will lead you to

72
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: a path filled with joy, hope, and peace. Take a

73
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: deep breath, Submit to the Lord and his ways. Exhale slowly,

74
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 2: and lift up your struggles to him. Know he is

75
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: stronger than your struggles. Know his power is made perfect

76
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: in your weakness. Put your trust in him, and he

77
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: will make your paths straight. Be satisfied in his love

78
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: and rest in his mercy. Take another deep breath. Be

79
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: filled with the truth of God's word. Exhale slowly, and

00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: allow his truth to soothe your soul. And renew your

81
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 2: mind and spirit. Revel in the light of His love

82

Speaker 2: you warm and safe. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin before the Lord.

84
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: Ask for his forgiveness. Rest in the light of his

85
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: love and grace. In the light of his presence. Know

86
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,720

Speaker 2: people he has put in your path to help you

92
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: walk with him. Think of a person who needs God's

93

94
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,800
