Focus your thoughts on God. Know 53 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 4: he is the almighty God who delivers you from the 54 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 4: terrors of the night and sustains you through the darkness 55 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 4: that surrounds you.

To night, take a 59 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 4: few deep breaths through your nose. With each inhale, take deeper, 60 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: longer breaths to slow your heart rate down.

To night, allow the Lord's presence to 66 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 4: comfort you and help you sleep peacefully through the night. 67 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: Psalm ninety one from the King James's version says he 68 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 4: that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, 69 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 4: shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will 70 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, 71 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 4: my God. In him, will I trust. Surely he shall 72 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from 73 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 4: the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, 74 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 4: and under his wings shall thou trust. His truth shall 75 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 4: be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid 76 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that 77 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 4: flieth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, 78 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 4: nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand 79 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 4: shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy 80 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 4: right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. Only 81 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 4: with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward 82 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 4: of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which 83 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: is my refuge, even the most high thy habitation. There 84 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: shall no evil befall thee. Neither shall any plague come 85 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 4: nigh thy dwelling. For He shall give his angels charge 86 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 4: over thee to keep thee in all thy ways. They 87 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 4: shall bear thee up in their hands. Lest thou dash 88 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: thy foot against thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder, 89 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 4: the young lion and the dragon. Shalt thou trample under feet. 90 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: Because he hath set his love upon me, Therefore will 91 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: I deliver him. I will set him on high, because 92 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 4: he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, 93 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 4: and I will answer him. I will be with him 94 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 4: in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him with 95 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: long life. I will satisfy him and shew him my salvation. 96 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: As you lay down to sleep, take refuge in God 97 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: and rest safely under his wings. Take a deep breath, 98 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: be filled with the presence of the Almighty. Hold your 99 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 4: breath for a few seconds.

Breathe in and out slowly. 102 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 4: Close your eyes and imagine the presence of the Lord 103 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 4: covering you like the feathers of a bird. The Lord 104 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 4: takes you under his wings, where you are safe and secure, 105 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 4: where no harm can come to you, where no one 106 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: and nothing can overcome you. Feel the warmth of his 107 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 4: feathers comforting you as you sleep. Open your eyes and 108 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 4: look up with the ceiling. Take a deep breath. 109 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 5: Visualize the angels of the Lord lifting you up in 110 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 5: their hands, protecting you through the night. As you exhale, 111 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 5: release your fears to the Lord. Put your trust in him. 112 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 5: His faithfulness will shield you from the deadly pestilence, from 113 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 5: the terrors of the night. Inhale and exhale slowly. Release 114 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 5: any stress and tension in your body and rest in 115 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 5: the shadow of the Almighty. Think of a time when 116 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 5: your fears were greater than your faith in God. Confess 117 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 5: any fears and doubts that you are still struggling with. 118 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 5: Lay them at the feet of the Lord.
