Speaker 2 (02:52):
Hello, I'm Grace for tonight's Sleep Song by pray dot Com.
We will be meditating on p. One hundred twenty eight.
Lie down flat on your back with your knees bent
and your head elevated. Relax your neck and shoulders. Place
one hand with the palm facing downward on your chest

(03:16):
and one hand on your belly. Practice taking deep belly
breaths to increase the oxygen flow to your heart. Take
a deep, cleansing breath through your nose. Feel your belly
expand and your chest remain still. Feel the air being

(03:36):
sucked in through the lungs moving downward into your belly.
Purse your lips and exhale slowly through your mouth. Feel
your belly fall and relax as you breathe out. Continue
to take deep breaths through your nose, releasing the air

(03:57):
through your mouth. Feel your hearts slow down with each breath.
With your next breath, focus on releasing the stress and
anxiety from to day. Know the Lord is willing to
give you rest to refresh your mind, body, and soul tonight.

(04:18):
With your next exhale, let go of any anxious thoughts.
Clear your mind to prepare to receive God's word. Take
another deep breath. Feel the stress in your muscles and joints.
Exhale slowly and release the tension in your body. Relax

(04:40):
your neck and shoulders, Rest your hands gently by your side,
close your eyes, and focus on listening to God's word.
Psalm one hundred twenty eight from the King James's version says,
Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord, that walketh

(05:00):
in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labor of
thine hands. Happy shalt thou be, and it shall be
well with Thee. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful
vine by the sides of thine house, thy children like
olive plants round about thy table. Behold that thus shall
the man be blest that feareth the Lord. The Lord

(05:24):
shall bless THEE out of Zion, and thou shalt see
the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Yea,
thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
The Psalmist calls those who walk with the Lord blest.
He tells us those who fear the Lord and obey

(05:46):
him will eat the fruit of their labor and be
prosperous in everything they do. Their household and every one
in it will be blest because of their faith. To night,
put your trust in the Lord and commit to walking
with him, and you will find satisfaction in his provision

(06:07):
and peace in his presence. Take a deep breath. Lift
everything you have to God, Lift every one you hold
dear to the Father. Exhale slowly, and surrender your possessions
and your family to the Lord. Relinquish your control and

(06:29):
allow him to provide for your needs. As you surrender
to the Lord, feel awake. Leave your shoulders, relaxing your
body and mind. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin. Ask for the
Lord's forgiveness. Ask him to help you follow him and

(06:51):
obey his commandments. Breathe in his mercy and love. Breathe
out your guilt and shame. Know the Lord will continue
to bless you as long as you continue to turn
to him. Think of all the ways God has blessed
you with his provision. Thank Him for the good gifts

(07:13):
he has given you. Thank Him for the favor he
has poured upon you and your family. Thank Him for
your family and friends. Think of a person who loves
the Lord deeply. Pray God will bless them and their family.
Pray he will give them good health and provide for

(07:35):
their needs. Lay your requests before the Lord. Lift your
fears and worries to him. Lift your needs and wants
to him. Continue to follow him as you wait expectantly
for Him to act on your behalf. Know he will
bless those who seek him. Pray for God to lead

(07:58):
your family and guide you down his path. Pray he
will put his word on your heart and on the
hearts of your loved ones. Pray for God to preserve
your family through many generations. Pray he will help you
pass your faith on to the next generation in your family.

(08:20):
Pray for God to bless you and your family with
his provision and peace. Pray he will fill your heart
with his joy and help you rest in him. Tonight,
Breathe in and out slowly. Breathe in his peace. Breathe
out the tension in your body with your next exhale.

(08:44):
Feel his peace. Spread throughout your body, warming your heart,
quieting your mind, softening your body. In this sweet surrender,
close your eyes and drift off to sleep, thinking about
the goodness of God and the power of his peace.
