I have cried to you the Lord Psalm one thirty
verse one. Dear God, Tonight, my soul will wait for

(00:28):
you amid a phonetic, anxious, and whirling world. I will
remain still and watch diligently for you to move. Though
everything around me is moving and causing distraction, I can
trust that you are working in the margin, like a

(00:51):
watchman in the night. I will remain steadfast and vigilant.
I will put my hope in you and you alone,
so the fickle nature of the world does not take
my joy. Settle my soul tonight and show me your

(01:16):
goodness as I dream. Reveal your pleasing and perfect will,
and rejuvenate me for the day ahead. In Jesus' name,
I pray Amen. Thank you for praying with me. I'm

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Hello, I'm Grace for tonight's Sleepsalm by pray dot Com.
We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and thirty.
Breathe in the calm, fresh air, allow it to fill
your lungs completely. Hold your breath. Breathe out slowly, allowing

(02:56):
the air to flow through you, relaxing your body, calming
your mind and settling your heart. Relax your neck and shoulders,
open your chest and heart. Rest your hands gently by
your side. With each breath, focus on contracting and relaxing

(03:21):
different muscle groups until your body is softened, from your
head to your toes. As you breathe in, contract a
part of your body that is tense, hold your breath
for a few seconds as you breathe out, release the

(03:42):
tension in your muscles and relax your body. Breathe in
and out slowly. Close your eyes and focus your thoughts
on God. Remember he is your savior, redeemer, who fully

(04:02):
knows you and fully loves you. His desire is to
redeem you and restore you. Breathe in His love and mercy.
Breathe out your sin and shame. Lift your burdens to
your Savior, knowing ye will carry them to night and

(04:24):
give you rest to Night's Psalm reminds us if we
confess our sins to the Lord, he will be faithful
to forgive us and purify us from our iniquities. Psalm
one hundred thirty from the King James version says, out
of the depths, have I cried unto thee? O Lord, Lord,

(04:47):
hear my voice? Let thine ears be attentive to the
voice of my supplications. If Thou Lord shouldst mark iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with
thee that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord.
My soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.

(05:09):
My soul waiteth for the Lord. More than they that
watch for the morning. I say, more than they that
watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord.
For what the Lord there is mercy, and with him
is plenteous redemption, And he shall redeem Israel from all
his iniquities. Put your hope in the Lord for his

(05:32):
love never fails, and his salvation rescues you and redeems you.
Meditate on his righteousness, on his mercy, reflect on his
unfailing love. Know you are secure in his salvation and
you are saved by His love and grace. Take a

(05:56):
deep breath, be filled with his love. Exhale slowly and
feel his love flow through your veins, warming your heart
and soothing your soul. Take another deep breath. Be filled
with his righteousness. As you exhale, allow his righteousness to

(06:20):
flow throughout your body, cleansing you, purifying you, renewing your
mind and spirit. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin before the Lord.
Ask for his forgiveness. Repent, and allow his salvation to
redeem you. Thank him for not keeping a record of

(06:43):
your wrongs and for his faithfulness to forgive you. Like
God forgives you, be quick to forgive others. Confess any
unforgiveness you have in your heart. Confess the records you
have kept of others offenses against you. Ask God to
help you let go of any anger and bitterness, and

(07:07):
to help you love those who hurt you. Take a
deep breath. Allow his righteousness to vindicate you his forgiveness
to flow through you. Exhale slowly and let go of
any shame you are carrying tonight. Know in Christ there

(07:27):
is no condemnation. Know your sins are forgiven, and your
redemption is in the salvation of the Lord. Rejoice in
the salvation of the Lord. Thank Him for rescuing you
and redeeming you. Thank Him for always forgiving you and
loving you. Thank Him for the mercy he has shown

(07:51):
you and for the grace he has given you. Think
of a person who needs to experience the freedom and
the joy of the Lord's salvation. Pray God will turn
their heart toward him to receive his forgiveness and love.
Pray God will remove their shame and fill their hearts

(08:13):
with his peace and joy. Cry out to the Lord.
Know he hears your prayers and he will answer them.
Lift your requests to him. Ask for his provision and protection.
Wait patiently for the Lord to move in your life

(08:33):
and find comfort and hope in his word. Pray your
loved ones will accept the Lord's salvation. Pray they will
believe in His truth and commit to serving him every
day and night. Pray the Lord's people in your nation
will turn from their sins and humble themselves before the Lord.

(08:57):
Pray he will heal your land and redeem his people.
Pray the Lord will fill you with his hope and peace.
As you lay down to rest, Pray you will sleep
peacefully through the night. Take a deep, cleansing breath, Allow
his forgiveness to wash over you, and his peace to

(09:20):
fill your mind and heart. Exhale slowly and release any
tension that is still lingering from to day. As you relax,
rest in the presence of the Lord and allow him
to restore you as you sleep.
