1
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: But you Lord are a shield around me, my glory,

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: the one who lifts my head high Psalm three three.

3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Dear Lord, you are my rest and my refuge. When

4
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: the night comes and the sun's light has faded, thoughts

5
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: of anxiety often come to steal my peace. Fear of

6
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: the future, and regret from the past consume my mind.

7
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: Like a storm. Save me, o, Lord, from every thought

8
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: that seeks to steal my peace. In you give me

9
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 2: rest in your saving grace. We assure me of your

10
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: mercy that awaits me in the morning. Though the day

11
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: has had its burdens and tomorrow will have new challenges,

12
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: I have confidence in your ability to sustain me, deliver

13
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: me from anxiety, and help me to sleep peacefully. In Jesus' name,

14
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:44,600

22
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 3: Hello, I'm grace for tonight's sleep song by pray dot Com.

23
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: We will be meditating on Psalm three. As you lay down,

24
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: relax your shoulders, rest your arms by your side, and

25
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: take a few deep breaths. Release any tension in your body.

26
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: Close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly. Clear

27
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: your mind and focus your thoughts on God. Remember who

28
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 3: he is, the all powerful, sovereign one that knows you,

29
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: seize you, loves you, and sustains you. Focus on his promises,

30
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 3: on his faithfulness. Take a deep breath. When you breathe in,

31
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: allow your lungs to completely fill with air before exhaling

32
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 3: when you breathe out, release the stress and tension in

33
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: your muscles. As your body relaxes, focus on opening your

34
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: mind and heart to hear God's voice. Listen to your

35
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: heart beat and focus on breathing in and out slowly

36
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: until your heart rate slows down. As you get ready

37
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: to meditate on God's word, ask for him to speak

38
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: to you to night. Listen for his still small voice

39
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: to lead you down a safe, secure path that leads

40
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: to peaceful rest.

41
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: To night.

42
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: You can find rest in knowing God hears your prayers

43
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: and He is in complete control over every circumstance of

44
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: your life. You can find assurance in knowing He will

45
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: deliver you from your troubles. Just put your trust in

46
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: Him and His blessing will be upon you. Psalm three

47
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: from the King James's version says, Lord, how are they

48
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: increased that trouble me? Many are they that rise up

49
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: against me? Many there be which save my soul? There

50
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 3: is no help for him in God. Saylah, But thou, o, Lord,

51
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: art a shield for me, my glory and the lifter

52
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with

53
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 3: my voice, and he heard me out of his holy

54
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: hill Selah. I laid me down and slept. I awakened,

55
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 3: for the Lord sustained me. I will not be afraid

56
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: of ten thousands of people that have set themselves against

57
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 3: me round about. Arise, O, Lord, save me, o, my God,

58
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone.

59
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly salvation belongeth

60
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 3: unto the Lord. Thy blessing is upon thy people, Selah.

61
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: When the worries of this life keep us up at night.

62
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: We know we can cry out to the Lord, and

63
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: we will hear our cries and deliver us from our troubles.

64
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: We can sleep peacefully because God is always with us,

65
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: sustaining us and protecting us, and He is always working

66
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 3: on our behalf. He is for us, so nothing and

67
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: no one can be against us. Control your breathing. Breathe

68
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 3: in and out slowly. Feel your chest rise as you

69
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: take a deep breath. As you inhale, imagine rising above

70
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 3: your enemies, above your circumstances, surrounded by God's protection, covered

71
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: by his shield. When you exhale, release your worries and fears,

72
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: feel your muscles relax, and your joints soften. Breathe in

73
00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: and out. Close your eyes and focus on God's unlimited

74
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: power and strength to protect you, sustain you, and defend you.

75
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: Though there is no battle or obstacle too big for

76
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: God to overcome. Allow the Lord to sustain you with

77
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: his power and strength. As you lie down to sleep,

78
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 3: Breathe in and out slowly. Relax, Close your eyes and

79
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: imagine God sitting on his throne, powerful, almighty, and sovereign,

80
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: working on your behalf to give you rest. Praise him

81
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: for his faithfulness to see us through the hardships in life.

82
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: Think about times when you allowed worry and anxiety to

83
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: keep you up at night rather than putting your trust

84
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: in God. Confess when you have tried to overcome your

85
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: troubles on your own. Take a deep breath and be

86
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: filled with His forgiveness. As you breathe out, let go

87
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 3: of your guilt and shame. Surrender to God's love and

88
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: find inner peace and rest. Praise Him for the times

89
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: he has delivered you from your troubles. Praise Him for

90
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: the rest you are able to find in Him during

91
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: a crisis. Praise Him for the ways he has protected

92
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 3: you throughout your life. Think of some one you know

93
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: who is facing a crisis and is doubting the goodness

94
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: of God. Pray God will protect them and give them

95
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: peace to help them find rest. To night, lay your

96
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: requests before God. Cast all your cares and anxieties on him.

97
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 3: Believe in his sovereignty and wait for him to answer expectantly.

98
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 3: Pray God will deliver you from your troubles. Pray for

99
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: his peace to sustain you through the night. As you

100
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: lie down to sleep, Pray God will use difficult times

101
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 3: to draw you and others closer to Him so that

102
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: you can find rest in Him. Pray God will reveal

103
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 3: his truth to those who oppose you. Pray they will

104
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 3: turn to God. Pray God will help you find comfort

105
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 3: and hope in His protection and peace. To night, take

106
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: a deep breath. As you exhale, release any tension and

107
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: stress that is still lingering from to day. Relax your

108
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: neck and shoulders. Feel your body soften and your mind settle.

109
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 3: As your body relaxes, allow God to refresh your soul

110
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: and bring you peace to help you rest through the night.
