(00:25):

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Hello, I'm Grace for tonight's sleep song by pray dot Com.
We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and thirty two.
Open your mind and heart to receive God's word. Focus
on controlling your breathing to help clear your mind and
settle your heart. Take a deep breath through your nose.

(03:08):
Feel the air flow through your lungs into your abdomen. Exhale,
slowly pushing the air outward to flow throughout your body
to rejuvenate you and relax you. Take a few more
deep breaths with your next exhale. Find relief from today's

(03:31):
stress and anxiety by releasing it into the hands of God.
Breathe in and out with your next exhale. Release any
tension in your body as your mind quiets. Meditate on
the promises of the Lord. Know he honors his covenants

(03:54):
and he secures his people with his salvation. Put your
trust in him, knowing you are safe in his hands.
Breathe in and out slowly, close your eyes and get
ready to hear Tonight's psalm. If we honor God, the

(04:15):
Bible tells us he will honor us. To night, lift
your spirit and heart, to exalt the Lord, and to
honor him with praise. Psalm one hundred thirty two from
the King James version says, Lord, remember David and all
his afflictions, how he swear unto the Lord and vowed

(04:38):
unto the Mighty God of Jacob. Surely I will not
come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up
into my bed. I will not give sleep to mine
eyes or slumber to mine eyelids, until I find out
a place for the Lord and habitation for the Mighty
God of Jacob. Lo we heard of it at Ephrita.

(05:03):
We found it in the fields of the wood. We
will go into his tabernacles. We will worship at his footstool. Arise,
O Lord, into thy rest thou and thy ark of
thy strength. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and
let thy saints shout for joy for thy servant David's sake.

(05:25):
Turn not away from the face of thine anointed. The
Lord hath sworn in truth unto David. He will not
turn from it. Of the fruit of thy body. I
will set upon thy throne. If thy children will keep
my covenant at my testimony that I shall teach them,
their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

(05:48):
For the Lord hath chosen Zion, he hath desired it
for his habitation. This is my rest forever. Here will
I dwell, for I have desire, desired it. I will
abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her

(06:11):
saints shall shout aloud for joy. There will I make
the horn of David to bud. I have ordained a
lamp for mine. Anointed his enemies, will I clothe with shame.
But upon himself shall his crown flourish. Even though promises
can be hard for us to keep, know the Lord

(06:33):
always keeps his promises, and he always honors his commitments
to us. Meditate on his goodness, on his faithfulness. Take
delight in his word, knowing you can trust him to
keep it. Take delight in his righteousness, knowing you are
secure in his salvation. Take a deep breath, Lift your

(06:58):
spirit to praise the Lord Lord. Praise him for his salvation.
Praise him for the mighty deeds he has done on
behalf of his people. Exhale slowly and allow his thankfulness
and praise to overflow your heart with joy. Breathe in

(07:19):
and out slowly. Close your eyes and imagine a holy
nation of God's people, a nation in which the spirit
of the Lord rests. See the Lord pour out his
blessing upon his people. With his provision. He will feed

(07:40):
and satisfy them with his salvation. He will clothe and
preserve them. Know this is your future in Christ. Stand
firm in your faith until the end, and He will
honor you with his crown of righteousness. Think of a
time you made a promise to God or another person

(08:03):
and did not keep it. Confess your tongue is quick
to speak when making an oath. Confess your inability to
keep all of your promises that come out of your mouth.
Pray God will help you only make promises you know
you can keep. Take a deep breath. Allow His forgiveness

(08:25):
to wash over you and renew your spirit. Exhale slowly
and find peace in his forgiveness. Know he keeps his
promise to always forgive you and to redeem you and
restore you. Rejoice in the faithfulness of the Lord. Thank

(08:47):
the Lord for always keeping his promises. Thank Him for
being the one you can always count on in your life.
Thank Him for the favor he has poured out upon
you and your loved ones. Think of a person who
is struggling to experience joy in their life. Pray God

(09:09):
will remind them of the joy of his promises and
his salvation. Pray they will focus their thoughts on his goodness.
Lift your requests to the Lord. Know the Lord takes
delight in those who seek him and love him. Tonight
he will listen to your voice and hear your prayers.

(09:33):
Pray for the Lord to help you honor Him in
everything you say and do. Pray you will serve him
and bring him glory every day. Pray for the Lord
to help you fulfill the vows you make to him.
Pray he will keep you from making promises you cannot keep.

(09:55):
Pray for the Lord to help you rest in His
salvation and expe experience the peace of His presence. Pray
you will sleep peacefully through the night. Take the deep breath,
Allow God's presence to fill you with his hope and peace.

(10:15):
Exhale slowly and feel his hope brighten your spirit, and
his peace lighten your heart. Find rest and refreshment in
the hope of the Lord No you can rest safely
and securely in his hands tonight
