0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Prepare to receive God's word by relaxing your body. Lie

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 2>down flat on your back with your arms resting by

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 2>your side. Relax your neck and shoulders. Take a deep breath.

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>As you exhale, release the stress in your muscles and joints.

0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Soften your body from your head to your fingers and toes.

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Take a deep breath and clear your mind of any distractions.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>As you exhale, focus your thoughts on God. Meditate on

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>his faithfulness, on his promises. Know he always fulfills his

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>vows and honors his commitments to those who love him

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and seek him. Take a deep breath, put your trust

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>in the Lord. Exhale slowly, releasing your stress and anxiety

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 2>from today, and trusting in his promise to alleviate your

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 2>burdens and give you rest for your soul. Open your

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 2>heart to hear God's voice. Listen to his word, and

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>experience the joy and hope that can only be found

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 2>in the Lord. Allow his joy to warm your heart

0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 2>and his hope to lift your spirit. Get ready to

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>receive God's word. To Night's psalm reminds us God is

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 2>full of love and compassion, and like so many before us,

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>he wants to satisfy us in his provision and give

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 2>us rest in his strength. Psalm one hundred forty five

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 2>from the King James version says, I will extol THEE,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 2>my God, O King, and I will bless thy name

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>forever and ever. Every day will I bless THEE, And

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I will praise thy name forever and ever. Great is

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another,

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 2>and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 2>the glorious honor of thy majesty and of thy wondrous works.

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 2>And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts,

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and I will declare thy greatness. They shall rebundantly utter

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 2>thy righteousness. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 2>slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>good to all, and his tender mercies are over all

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.159
<v Speaker 2>his works. All thy works shall praise Thee, O Lord,

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.919
<v Speaker 2>and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>to make known the sons of men, his mighty acts,

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is

0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 2>an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 2>The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>those that bow down. The Eyes of all weigh upon thee,

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 2>and Thou givest them their meat. In due season. Thou

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 2>openest thine hand and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>them that call upon him, to all that call upon him.

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>In truth, he will fulfill the desire of them that

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.719
<v Speaker 2>fear him. He also will hear their cry and will

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.920
<v Speaker 2>save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love him,

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:26.119
<v Speaker 2>but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall

0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 2>speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 2>bless his holy name forever and ever lift your spirit

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 2>and exalt the King of kings, the Lord of Lords.

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>Rejoice in his holy name. Remember what you have been

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 2>told of His power and might, of his love and compassion.

<v Speaker 2>Hold unto these stories as you lay down to sleep,

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and allow them to fill you with his hope, peace

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and joy, Knowing, just like those before you, he will

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 2>carry you through the darkest of nights and rejoice with

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 2>you in the brightest of days. Take a deep breath,

<v Speaker 2>bow down before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Look to the Lord for your provision as you exhale.
