Speaker 2: We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and forty five.
Speaker 2: Prepare to receive God's word by relaxing your body. Lie
Speaker 2: down flat on your back with your arms resting by

Speaker 2: As you exhale, release the stress in your muscles and joints.
Speaker 2: Soften your body from your head to your fingers and toes.
Speaker 2: Take a deep breath and clear your mind of any distractions.
Speaker 2: As you exhale, focus your thoughts on God. Meditate on
Speaker 2: his faithfulness, on his promises. Know he always fulfills his
Speaker 2: vows and honors his commitments to those who love him
Speaker 2: and seek him. Take a deep breath, put your trust
Speaker 2: in the Lord. Exhale slowly, releasing your stress and anxiety
Speaker 2: from today, and trusting in his promise to alleviate your
Speaker 2: burdens and give you rest for your soul. Open your
Speaker 2: heart to hear God's voice. Listen to his word, and
Speaker 2: experience the joy and hope that can only be found
Speaker 2: in the Lord. Allow his joy to warm your heart
Speaker 2: and his hope to lift your spirit. Get ready to
Speaker 2: receive God's word. To Night's psalm reminds us God is
Speaker 2: full of love and compassion, and like so many before us,
Speaker 2: he wants to satisfy us in his provision and give
Speaker 2: us rest in his strength. Psalm one hundred forty five
Speaker 2: from the King James version says, I will extol THEE,
Speaker 2: my God, O King, and I will bless thy name
Speaker 2: forever and ever. Every day will I bless THEE, And
Speaker 2: I will praise thy name forever and ever. Great is
Speaker 2: the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness
Speaker 2: is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another,
Speaker 2: and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of
Speaker 2: the glorious honor of thy majesty and of thy wondrous works.
Speaker 2: And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts,
Speaker 2: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall rebundantly utter
Speaker 2: the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of
Speaker 2: thy righteousness. The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Speaker 2: slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is
Speaker 2: good to all, and his tender mercies are over all
Speaker 2: his works. All thy works shall praise Thee, O Lord,
Speaker 2: and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of
Speaker 2: the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power
Speaker 2: to make known the sons of men, his mighty acts,
Speaker 2: and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is
Speaker 2: an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
Speaker 2: The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all
Speaker 2: those that bow down. The Eyes of all weigh upon thee,
Speaker 2: and Thou givest them their meat. In due season. Thou
Speaker 2: openest thine hand and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
Speaker 2: The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy
Speaker 2: in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all
Speaker 2: them that call upon him, to all that call upon him.
Speaker 2: In truth, he will fulfill the desire of them that
Speaker 2: fear him. He also will hear their cry and will
Speaker 2: save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love him,
Speaker 2: but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall
Speaker 2: speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh
Speaker 2: bless his holy name forever and ever lift your spirit
Speaker 2: and exalt the King of kings, the Lord of Lords.
Speaker 2: Rejoice in his holy name. Remember what you have been
Speaker 2: told of His power and might, of his love and compassion.
Speaker 2: Hold unto these stories as you lay down to sleep,
Speaker 2: and allow them to fill you with his hope, peace
Speaker 2: and joy, Knowing, just like those before you, he will
Speaker 2: carry you through the darkest of nights and rejoice with
