30
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: As you exhale, focus your thoughts on God. Meditate on

31
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: his faithfulness, on his promises. Know he always fulfills his

32
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: vows and honors his commitments to those who love him

33
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: and seek him. Take a deep breath, put your trust

34
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: in the Lord. Exhale slowly, releasing your stress and anxiety

35
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: from today, and trusting in his promise to alleviate your

36
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: burdens and give you rest for your soul. Open your

37
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: heart to hear God's voice. Listen to his word, and

38
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: experience the joy and hope that can only be found

39
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: in the Lord. Allow his joy to warm your heart

40
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: and his hope to lift your spirit. Get ready to

41
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: receive God's word. To Night's psalm reminds us God is

42
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: full of love and compassion, and like so many before us,

43
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: he wants to satisfy us in his provision and give

44
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: us rest in his strength. Psalm one hundred forty five

00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: the glorious honor of thy majesty and of thy wondrous works.

53
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts,

54
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 2: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall rebundantly utter

55
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,080

57
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,720

Speaker 2: good to all, and his tender mercies are over all

59
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,159

Speaker 2: and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of

61
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,560

62
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: to make known the sons of men, his mighty acts,

63
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is

64
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 2: an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

65
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 2: The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all

66
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: those that bow down. The Eyes of all weigh upon thee,

67
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: and Thou givest them their meat. In due season. Thou

68
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 2: openest thine hand and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

69
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,840

70
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: in all his works. The Lord is nigh unto all

71
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: them that call upon him, to all that call upon him.

72
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: In truth, he will fulfill the desire of them that

73
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: fear him. He also will hear their cry and will

74
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love him,

75
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,119
Speaker 2: but all the wicked will he destroy. My mouth shall

76
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 2: speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh

77
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,760

82
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: and allow them to fill you with his hope, peace

83
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: and joy, Knowing, just like those before you, he will
