1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: I'm Bishop TD Jakes, inviting you to unwine your mind

2
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: and spirit with tonight's sleep song. Through God, we will

3
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: our enemies. Psalm sixty, verse twelve. Dear God, grant me

5
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: the peace that surpasses all understanding. Today's battles have been

6
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: fought and won with your steadfast help, and I trust

7
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: in your sovereignty to carry me through the night. You

8
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: are the greatest source of help against the foe. Divine

9
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: intervention is the only solution to man's vain attempts at

10
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: self salvation. In this moment of quiet reflection, I thank

11
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: you for your unwavering love and faithfulness. I am grateful

12
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: for the blessings of today and the lessons learn from

13
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: my struggles. And as I lay myself to rest, I

14
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: find solace in your presence. With you, Oh God, I

15
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: am never alone, and your grace sustains me even in

16
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: my darkest moments. Tomorrow is a new day, and I

17
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: trust in your strength to provide me with the courage.

18

00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:22,040

27
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's Sleep Psalm by pray dot Com.

28
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm sixty. The darkness and

29
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: stillness of the night can make us feel alone. Our

30
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: anxious thoughts are sometimes our only company. As you lay

31
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: down to sleep, invite the presence of God into your

32
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: space and allow him to refresh your mind, body, and soul.

33
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: Know you are never alone. God is always with you. No,

34
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: He is the almighty, sovereign Lord who has the power

35
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: and strength to lift your burdens and give you rest.

36
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath. Feel his power and strength fill

37
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: your lungs. Hold your breath for a few seconds, Exhale

38
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: slowly and feel his power and strength lift your burdens

39
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: from your shoulders, relaxing your body, lightening your heart, calming

40
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 2: your mind. Breathe in and out slowly. Feel the power

41
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: of His presence. Calm your mind, soul, and spirit with

42
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 2: his joy, hope, and peace. Meditate on his goodness, on

43
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 2: his faithfulness. Breathe in and out slowly. Open your mind

44
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: and heart to hear his voice. Ask for him to

45
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: speak to you through his word. Know his voice will

46
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: lead you to a quiet place where you can rest

47
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: safely and securely in His power and strength. When our

48
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: circumstances seem out of control, the Bible reminds us of

49
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: God's sovereignty and of his power to do mighty things.

50
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: To night, put your trust in God and find rest,

51
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: knowing he is in complete control of your life and

52
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: of our world. Psalm sixty from the King James's version, says,

53
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us,

54
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: thou hast been displeased. Oh, turn thyself to us again.

55
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: Thou hast made the earth to tremble, thou hast broken it.

56
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: Heal the breaches thereof for it shaketh. Thou hast shewed

57
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,119
Speaker 2: thy people hard things. Thou hast made us to drink

58
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: the wine of astonishment. Thou hast given a banner to

59
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because

60
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: of the truth Selah, that thy beloved may be delivered.

61
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: Save with thy right hand, and hear me, God hath

62
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: spoken in his holiness. I will rejoice. I will divide

63
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: Shechem and meet out of the valley of Sukhote. Gilead

64
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: is mine, Gilead is mine, and Manssa is mine. Athrom

65
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 2: also is the strength of mine head. Judah is my lawgiver,

66
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: Moab is my wash pot over Edam, will I cast

67
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: out my shoe Phelictia triumph Thou because of me, who

68
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead

69
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: me to Edam? Wilt not thou, o God, which hadst

70
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: cast us off? And thou, o God, which didst not

71
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: go out with our army. Give us help from trouble,

72
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: for vain is the help of man. Through God, we

73
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 2: shall do valiantly, for he it is that shall tread

74
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: down our enemies. Knowing God is in control can help

75
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: us find freedom from our fears and worries, and help

76
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: us find hope and peace in the middle of chaos.

77
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: We never have to face the darkness in our world alone.

78
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: God is there to help us and guide us through

79
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: every situation we face. Breathe in and out slowly. Know

80
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: you can rest safely and securely in God's mighty hands.

81
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: Close your eyes and take a deep breath. As your

82
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: chest rises, imagine God lifting his right hand to deliver

83
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: you and protect you. Exhale slowly and trust your enemy

84
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: and troubles will fall at the power and strength of

85
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: his hands. Take a deep breath. When your chest fully expands.

86
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: Exhale slowly, releasing any tension in your body. Focus on

87
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: God's promise to help us overcome the evil in this world.

88
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: Under the banner of His truth, we will be victorious

89
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: over the enemy and over our fears and anxiety. Rest

90
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: in His sovereignty. Find peace in His mercy and love

91
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: for you. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin before the Lord. Confess

92
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 2: any doubts you have of God's power and sovereignty. Ask

93
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: for his forgiveness and for his help to turn back

94
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: to him. Take a deep breath. Allow God's mercy and

95
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: love to wash over you. Exhale and release any guilt

96
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: and shame you are experiencing. Know He is always faithful

97
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: to us, even when we are not faithful to him.

98
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: Praise God for his strength. Thank him for the times

99
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: he has been faithful to you. Thank him for the

100
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: times he has protected you and delivered you. Think of

101
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: someone who needs God's deliverance tonight. Pray he will intervene

102
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: in their circumstances and turn their heart toward him. Pray

103
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,719
Speaker 2: they will find strength and hope in Him so they

104
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: can sleep peacefully throughout the night. Lay your requests before

105
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: the Lord. Tell him about your troubles and struggles. Know

106
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: he is always faithful and he will help you when

107
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: you call upon him. Pray for evil in this world

108
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: to be revealed. Pray God will admit to his justice

109
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: in our world and will have mercy on those who

110
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: love him. Pray for God's protection as you seek to

111
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: do his will in a fallen world where so many

112
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: oppose his word. Pray he will give you strength to

113
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: do what is right. Pray for God's help in a

114
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: difficult situation in your life. Pray you will put your

115
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: trust in Him and find rest tonight in knowing he

116
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: is in complete control. Take a deep breath as you exhale,

117
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 2: release any stress lingering from to day. As your body relaxes,

118
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: allow God to keep you in his perfect peace as

119
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: you rest throughout the night.
