00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,199
Speaker 1: He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: of righteousness for his Name's sake. Psalm twenty three three.

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Dear Lord, you leave me in paths of righteousness for

4
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: your Name's sake. You restore my soul from its weary

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: wanderings and bring me into true rest. As I seek

6
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: to do your will, I find myself in a place

7
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: of peace and joy, a place where I am safe

8
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: from the storms of life and can experience all the

9
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: love and mercy you have for me. Your loving kindness

10
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: is greater than I can imagine, and your faithfulness never

11
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: ceases to amaze me. As I draw near to you,

12
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: I feel my spirit renewed with strength and purpose. Thank

13
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: you for leading me into a place of rest that

14

29
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: verse ten from the King James version. The Bible says,

30
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: then the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he

31
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: prayed for his friends. Also, the Lord gave Job twice

32
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: as much as he had before. Take a moment and

40
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 2: your eyes closed, if you can do it, breathe in

41
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 2: deep through your nose and exhale out through your mouth,

42
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,880

Speaker 2: mind to be filled with His holy word. We're going

44
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: to be meditating on Psalm twenty three, verse three from

45
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: the King James version. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth

46
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: me in the past of righteousness for his Name's sake.

47
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: Hope you'll take a moment with me to pour out

48
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: your adoration your love to God. First promises God, I

49
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: praise you, for you are the living God. You have

50
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: made me and I am yours. I will give thanks

51
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: and bless your name, Jesus, for you are my shepherd.

52
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: You restore my soul and lead me to live it

53
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: a righteous life. I wish you p you Holy Spirit

54
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: for your loving guidance and your continual patience. God's rest

55
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: brings restoration and righteousness. In this rat race called life.

56
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: There are going to be moments where you falter, moments

57
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: where your strength will give out, moments where your bos

58
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: he will be exhausted and your soul tired. Moments where

59
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: you'll find yourself running unempty, ready to give up. That

60
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: is why you must depend on God. God does not

61
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: slumber nor sleep. His strength never fails, and his power

62
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: never diminishes. You can trust God because He will never

63
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: let you down, not even one time. For God is God.

64
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: God cannot fail, It's not in his nature. Be comforted

65
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: in knowing He sees you, and He knows what you

66
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: need before you even ask. In your hour of weariness

67
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: and distress, Remember God is beside you. God will not

68
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: only renew your strength, he will direct you through a

69
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: good path. He will show you the path that leads

70
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: to the finish line. Know that God longs to minister

71
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: to your soul, to give you strength and to give

72
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: you and to help you live in righteousness because He

73
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 2: loves you. Hope you'll take this moment, this opportunity to

74
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: turn to God. Open your heart to Jesus if needed,

75
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 2: confess your sin to him. Tell the Holy Spirit of

76
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: your struggles, maybe your exhaustion. Now, spend some time thanking

77
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: God for his goodness. God, I thank you that you

78
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 2: are the good Shepherd. I thank you that your love

79
00:06:51,279 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: is not based on my merit, but rather on your mercies. Jesus,

80
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: I thank you that your rest is restorative. I thank

81
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: you for your compassion and provision for renewing my strength.

82
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: I thank you Holy Spirit for loving me and guiding

83
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: me to live a righteous life. For enabling me to

84
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: live out all that God has prepared for me. And

85
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: hope you'll know that God is present, that he's listening

86
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: to you. I believe God longs to give you rest

87
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: and to establish his righteousness in your life. And this

88
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: is a moment, an opportunity to present yourself before God

89
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: and cry out petition for his grace. Ask the Holy

90
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: Spirit to restore your soul.

91
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: God do that.

92
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: Ask him to minister his balm over the areas where

93
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: you're tired and weary. Ask the Holy Spirit to enable

94
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: you to live a righteous life. To empower you to

95
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: live out the dreams God as placed within your heart.

96
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: Hope you'll remember it. God restores your soul and he

97
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: establishes righteousness in your life. God will give you new

98
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: strength and lead you on the right path for the

99
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: good of His name. Ask him to help you. God

100
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 2: will direct your path and give you a life worth living,

101
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: a life filled with godly thoughts and actions, with justice

102
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: and goodness. So don't hold back, be bold, be brave,

103
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: trust God, surrender to him. Allow God to give you

104
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: rest and to show you how to live your life

105
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: to the fullest. Thank you for completing today's meditative prayer
