Speaker 1: and spirit with tonight's sleep song. Remember his marvelous works

3
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 1: that he has done, his wonders and the judgments of

4
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: his mouth. Psalm one O five, verse five. Heavenly Father,

5
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: I come before you, exhaust my eyes heavy with fatigue.

6
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: I ask that you grant me rest, sweet release from

7
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: my labors. As the Israelites of old were delivered from

8
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: their slavery in Egypt. I asked that you delivered me

9
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: from the bondage of wakeful nights, just as they were

10
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: led through the wilderness sustained by your hand. I ask

11
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: that you guide me through my tiredness and refresh my soul.

12
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Please help me cast off the burden of my worries

13
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: and release my anxieties to you. Let me lie down

14
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: without fear and awake with your peace in my heart.

15
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Grant me the peace that comes from faith, knowing that

16
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: you are in control and working all things together for

17
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: my good. Let me just rest in your loving kindness

18
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: and finding comfort in your powerful strength. I pray this

19
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: in your name, through Christ, who gives me that strength. Amen.

20
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,040

30
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: Take a moment to reflect on your life. Think about

31
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: all the difficult situations that God used for his good,

32
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: either to grow you, to transform you, or to bring

33
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,279
Speaker 2: you to a place where you could receive a specific

34
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: blessing in your heart. Praise God for the trials and

35
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: tribulations he has taken you through. Praise Him for the

36
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: good that comes out of the bad in life. No,

37
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He is

38
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: always there to help you. Know He will deliver you

39
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: in due time. Breathe in the promises of God. Allow

40
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: them to lighten your heart and ease your mind. Breathe

41
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: out your fears and your worries. With your next breath,

42
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: lift your burdens to him, knowing he will carry them

43
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: on his shoulders as he carries you with his hands

44
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: through the hard moments. Take a deep breath, feel your

45
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: neck and shoulders. Relax as he takes away your burdens.

46
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: Feel his strength, fill your lungs. Exhale slowly, and allow

47
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 2: his strength to spread throughout your body, restoring every bone,

48
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 2: every muscle, every joint. With your next inhale, focus on

49
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: contracting your muscles. Hold your breath for a few seconds,

50
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: and with your next exhil, relax your muscles and release

Speaker 2: God's promises, knowing he will always honor his commitment to you,

53
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: and find rest in his power and strength, knowing he

54
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: will protect you and preserve you as you sleep. Psalm

55
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and five from the King James's version says, Oh,

56
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: give thanks unto the Lord. Call upon his name, Make

57
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: known his deeds among the people, sing unto him, Sing

58
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: psalms unto him, Talk ye of his wondrous works, Glory

59
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: ye in his holy name. Let the heart of them

60
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: rejoice that seek the Lord. Seek the Lord and his

61
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: strength seek his face evermore, remember his marvelous works that

62
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. O, ye,

63
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: seed of Abraham, his servant, Ye children of Jacob has chosen.

64
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: He is the Lord, our God. His judgments are in

65
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: all the earth. He hath remembered his covenant forever, the

66
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: word which he commanded to a thousand generations, Which covenant

67
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: he made with Abraham and his oath unto Isaac, and

68
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to

69
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: Israel for an everlasting covenant, saying, unto thee, will I

70
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: give the land of Canon the lot of your inheritance.

71
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: When they were but a few men in number, yea

72
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: very few, and strangers in it. When they went from

73
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: one nation to another, from one kingdom to another, people,

74
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: he suffered no man to do them wrong.

75
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Yea.

76
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: He reproved kings for their sakes, saying, touch not mine anointed,

77
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: and do my prophets no hom Moreover, he called for

78
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: a famine upon the land. He brake the whole staff

79
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: of bread. He sent a man before them, even Joseph,

80
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: who was sold for a servant, whose feet they hurt

81
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: with fetters. He was laid in iron until the time

82
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: that his word came. The word of the Lord tried him.

83
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: The King sent and loosened him, even the ruler of

84
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: the people, and let him go free. He made him

85
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: lord of his house and ruler of all his substance,

86
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: to bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his

87
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: senator's wisdom. Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned

88
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: in the land of Ham. And he increased his people greatly,

89
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: and made them stronger than their enemies. He turned their

90
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: heart to hate his people to deal subtly with his servants.

91
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: He sent Moses his servant, and Heiron, whom he had chosen.

92
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: They shewed his signs among them and wonders. In the

93
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: land of Ham, he sent darkness and made it dark,

94
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: and they rebelled not against his word. He turned their

95
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their land brought

96
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: forth frogs in abundance. In chambers of their kings he spake,

97
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: and there came divers sorts of flies and lice in

98
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: all their coasts. He gave them hail for rain and

99
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: flaming fire. In their land. He smote their vines also,

100
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: and their fig trees and brake the trees of their coasts.

101
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars and that

102
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: without number, and did eat all their herbs in their land,

103
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: and devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote also

104
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: all the first born in their land, the chief of

105
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver

106
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 2: and gold, and there was not one feeble person among

107
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 2: their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed, for the

108
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: fear of them fell upon them. He spread a cloud

109
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.

110
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 2: The people asked, and he brought quails and satisfied them

111
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 2: with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and

112
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: the waters gushed out. They ran into the dry places

113
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 2: like a river. For He remembered his holy promise, and

114
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy,

115
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: and his chosen with gladness, and gave them the lands

116
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: of the heathen. And they inherited the labor of the people,

117
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: that they might observe His statutes and keep his laws.

118
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: Praise ye the Lord. To Night's palm takes you through

119
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: the many miracles God performed in the lives of those

120
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: who loved him and those who followed him. The Psalmist

121
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: brings you back to the land of Canaan, where God

122
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: made his covenant with Abraham, the land of Egypt, where

123
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: God's people prospered and suffered, and the land in the

124
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: wilderness where He sustained his people for many years. This

125
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: journey paints a wonderful picture of how far God is

126
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: willing to go to provide for you, To show his

127
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 2: love for you, Take delight in his love and provision.

128
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: Breathe in and out slowly. Bask in the light of

129
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: the Lord. Know he will cover you like a cloud

130
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: to protect you and preserve you in the darkness of

131
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 2: the night. His light will extinguish your fears and worries

132
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: and lead you into his peaceful presence. His hands will

133
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: feed your soul in the morning and quench your spiritual

134
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: thirst at night. Find satisfaction in his bread and refreshment

135
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: in his waters. Take a deep breath, be filled with

136
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: the joy and hope of God's promises. Exhale slowly and

137
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 2: allow his joy and hope to flow through your veins,

138
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: lightening your heart, calming your mind, and relaxing your body.

139
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: Allow his promises to comfort you through the night. Think

140
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: of a difficult time when you failed to trust God.

141
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: Or think of a time when your anger over a

142
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: difficult situation in your life hindered your relationship with God.

143
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: Confess any resentment and anger you harbor in your heart

144
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: towards Him. Ask for his forgiveness and for him to

145
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: soften your heart towards him. Take a deep breath, allow

146
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: his love and grace to wash over you. Exhale slowly,

147
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: and release any sin and shame you are carrying with you.

148
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: To night, Pray God will restore your relationship with him.

149
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: Know he will always love you, for you are His

150
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: chosen one. Rejoice in the mighty deeds of the Lord.

151
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: Praise the wonderful works of his hands. Think of a

152
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 2: time when God did something miraculous and mighty in your life.

153
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: Thank Him for the good things he has done in

154
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: your life. Thank Him for the good things He will

155
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: do in your life, knowing he is always faithful to

156
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: keep his promises. Think of a person who needs one

157
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,920
