Speaker 1 (00:01):
What Therefore God hath joined together. Let not man put
asunder Mark ten nine. Dear God, I thank you for

(00:25):
all that you have blessed my life with. I place
all of my cares and worries into your hands. I
pray that you would give me a peaceful night of sleep.

(00:52):
Grant me with your wisdom so that I can reflect
on the day with confidence and forgiveness. Father, continue to

(01:13):
teach me to depend on your power throughout every season.
Help me to love others unconditionally and practice forgiveness. Allow

(01:34):
me to communicate openly about my feelings so that I
can continue to grow in my face. Come tomorrow. As
I sleep tonight, may I be assured of your protection

(02:00):
in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you for listening to pray
dot Coms nightly prayer to experience a pocket of peace
before you go to sleep. Stay tuned for our free

(02:21):
meditative prayer after this quick word from our sponsors m HM.
Welcome to your meditative prayer on fighting anxiety. To get
the most out of your spiritual journey, use pray dot
com every day and make prayer a priority in your life.

(02:47):
Our goal for today's meditative prayer is fighting anxiety. Take
a second to slow down, Sit on your favorite chair,
on your bed, or where you feel most comfortable. Grab
a warm blanket or a soft pillow to hug if
you'd like. Once you are able to relax, turn your

(03:12):
thoughts towards what God has for you. To day, we
will be meditating on Matthew chapter six, verse thirty four
from the King James version. Take therefore no thought for
the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the

(03:33):
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Take a moment to pour out your adoration to God. God.
I worship you, for you are power. I exalt you,

(03:53):
for you live outside the continuum of time. By your
will and desire, and time was created. You determined time's
parameter and gave meaning to the changing of the seasons.
You taught humanity how to gage its passage through the
yielding of day tonight. Who is like you, Oh Lord

(04:18):
most High, Your power is infinite, unsearchable, and unmeasurable. You
alone are worthy to be praised. Life is to be
lived one day at a time. This mentality can be

(04:38):
challenging for many reasons. Overwhelmed by daily problems and pressing matters,
Some become catatonic and consumed with worry. Others become obsessed
over control and with guessing what comes next. Reigning in

(04:59):
unchecked ambition and drive while avoiding apathy and carelessness can
feel like playing a game of Russian Roulette. The odds
are not favorable. There is no chance for control or
guarantee of outcome. Regardless of which side of the spectrum

(05:20):
you land on. You must rely on the help of
the Holy Spirit to survive. Take a moment to reflect
on your current behavior. Examine the areas keeping you from
applying this mindset to your life. Confess them to God.

(05:41):
Place your anxieties in his hand. Now consider for a
moment God's mercies in your life and thank Him for it.
God's love for you has never and will never fail.
His mercies over you. Renew every morning, Thank God that

(06:06):
you are not bound to anxiety. You are free to
live in the moment of each day. Thank God for
past situations where He alleviated your concerns for the future.
Thank God, because He is good he will always be good.

(06:29):
Thank God for his mercies will allow and enable you
to live each day as it comes. God is present
and he is listening. To you. Never forget. God wants
you not just to exist, but to live, to enjoy

(06:50):
life and to its full potential. The Bible warns that
worry is futile because each day will hold its own
child leunges. Reach out to God for his peace. Ask
the Holy Spirit to help you walk your journey one
step at a time. Ask him to help you leave

(07:14):
tomorrow struggles to its own day. Remember, do not worry
about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day
has enough trouble of its own. By living life day
to day, you will be better equipped to handle whatever

(07:36):
comes your way. Be encouraged. You are not alone in
this mission. You have God's Holy Spirit to help you
and to guide you. He will never leave you nor
abandon you. You can do this. Thank you for completing

(08:02):
today's meditative prayer on pray dot com. By incorporating this
healthy habit as a daily practice, you are making prayer
a priority and strengthening your walk with God. Lay
