meditative prayer is to sleep better. Sequester yourself away in
a secluded spot. Take a moment to center yourself as

(02:44):
you breathe in and out. Focus on quieting your mind
and relaxing your body. Now turn your thoughts toward what
God has prepared for you. This night, we will be
meditating on Proverbs chapter three, Versus twenty one and twenty

(03:08):
four from the King James version. My son, let not
them depart from thine eyes. Keep sound, wisdom and discretion.

(04:22):
applied knowledge, and applied knowledge of God's word brings blessings.
Many valuable life lessons are found within this chapter of Proverbs,
among them how to achieve better rest by living your

(04:43):
life with wisdom and reason, you can acquire the ability
to sleep peacefully and free of fear. King Solomon advised
living life in such a way as to be content
with your actions. So if you are smart about what

(05:06):
you do during the day, you will sleep well at
night knowing you did your best. However, constantly living life
that way is not easy. Sometimes emotions can cloud judgment
and suppress reason. If you are struggling with making wise

(05:30):
decisions during your day, this is your opportunity for divine intervention.
Take this time to reach out to God. Confess your
bad decisions to him. Now consider for a moment God's

(05:51):
wisdom in your life and thank him for it. Thank
God for the gift of his Holy Word, for sharing
of himself and his intelligence through scripture. Thank God that
his word is not in vain, that it accomplishes what

(06:13):
it sets out to do. Thank Him that his obedience
to his word produces good outcomes in your life. Thank
the Lord for providing you with grace and for supplying
all your needs. Thank God for past mercies and for

(06:36):
his mercy still to come. Thank Him for blessing you
beyond measure. God is present and he is listening to you.
Whatever you ask for in faith and in accordance to

(06:58):
His word, God will grant you. And it is God's
will that you live a life filled with His knowledge
and His presence. The Holy Spirit desires to help you
achieve this lifestyle. Seek God out, ask him to help

(07:20):
you have and apply self control, to make good choices,
and to think before you act. Ask the Holy Spirit
to teach you to apply biblical wisdom to your daily decisions. Remember,

(07:40):
you are to hold on to wisdom and reason and
not lose sight of them. If you do this, you
won't need to be afraid when you lie down, because
when you lie down, your sleep will be peaceful. You
will be content in the knowledge that you did the
