Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
I'm Bishop T. D. Jakes, inviting you to unwine your
mind and spirit with Tonight's sleep. Psalm Behold, how good
and pleasant it is for brothers to live together in
unity Psalm one thirty three, Verse one. Dear Lord Tonight,

(00:28):
I am grateful for unity with you. The chasm between
you and me has been bridged through your love and
sacrifice on the Cross. I take great comfort and delight
in that unity, yearning for more of it every day.

(00:51):
I am also grateful for the unity and friendship built
between those who of you. By your infinite wisdom and
through your spirit, you have forged a people able to
persevere through any persecution. You have created a community of

(01:15):
conviction and forge friendships through the fires of adversity. Nothing
can stand against your people when they are unified. The
gates of hell will not prevail against people who call
upon your power. Tonight, I am delighted that there are

(01:39):
fellow believers in my life. I am refreshed by the
church You've built and the people you've placed in my
life to uphold me when I am weak. I know
I can lean on them. I pray you would empower
me to be a pillar of strength in my community

(02:03):
and an ambassador of blessing. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen,
Thank you for praying with me. I'm Bishop td Jakes

Speaker 2 (03:11):
Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep Psalm by pray dot Com.
We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and thirty
three in the silence of the night. We are left
alone in our thoughts, which can fill our minds with
anxiety and make us feel isolated in some of the

(03:32):
darkest hours of our life. Before you meditate on God's word,
invite the presence of God in your space and know
you are not alone. Take a deep breath, Lift your
anxious thoughts to the Lord. Lift your feelings of sadness
and loneliness to him. Exhale slowly and feel His presence

(03:58):
comfort you and give you relief. Reflect on your relationships
with your friends and family. Reflect on the relationships you
have with your church community. Know these relationships are blessings
from God. They are your lifeline in this chaotic world.

(04:18):
They are designed to be life giving. Hold onto the
healthy relationships in your life and experience the joy of
connecting with others. God's word reminds us the importance of
unity within the church. Relationships with other believers can strengthen
us and empower us to carry out God's purpose in

(04:40):
our lives. P. One hundred thirty three from the King
James version says, Behold, how good and how pleasant it
is for brethren to dwell together in unity. It is
like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down
upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, that went down the
skirts of his garments, as the dew of herman, and

(05:04):
as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion.
For there the Lord commanded the blessing even life for evermore.
Tonight's psalm compares the unity of God's people to the
sweet fragrance of the anointing oil used to set apart
his priests in the Old Testament. Like the anointing oil

(05:25):
of the priests. Unity with the Church sets us apart
from our culture and attracts people to the sweet word
of God. Take a deep breath, allow his peace to
wash over you. Know when you live in the peace
of God's presence, you can live at peace in the

(05:46):
presence of others. Exhale slowly and release any anger and
bitterness that hinder your relationships. Let go of any minor
disagreements that disrupt the Body of Christ. Hold on to
the important matters concerning the Kingdom of God. Breathe in

(06:07):
and out slowly. Find comfort in knowing you are not alone.
When you celebrate a victory, the Body of Christ celebrates
with you. When you suffer at the hands of oppression
and injustice, the Body of Christ suffers with you. Take

(06:28):
delight in belonging to a royal priesthood, a chosen people,
a holy nation. Be filled with the joy of the Lord,
knowing you have been set apart by the Lord to
do good works. Think of a time when you let
a minor disagreement or unforgiveness destroy your relationship with a

(06:50):
brother and sister in Christ. Confess any ways you contributed
to the demise of this relationship. Confess any unforgiveness that
is still in your heart. Ask God for his forgiveness.
Ask him to restore your broken relationships and to help
you live in peace with those who love the Lord.

(07:13):
Thank the Lord for your healthy relationships with your family
and friends. Thank Him for the people he put in
your life to love you and encourage you. Thank Him
for your church community and for a place where you
can feel a sense of belonging and acceptance. Think of
a person who is struggling in their relationships. Pray God

(07:37):
will intervene and restore the relationships that build them up.
Pray God will help them live in peace with others
and find rest in His peace. Lay your requests before
the Lord. Tell him about your struggles, Tell him about
the desires of your heart. Know he hears your prayers

(08:01):
and he will do what is best for you. Pray
for God to unify the Body of Christ in his peace,
love and truth. Pray he will help you be a
peacemaker in your church community. Pray for God to bless
your relationships with others. Pray he will help you live

(08:22):
in peace with your family and friends. Pray for God
to send godly people in your life to encourage your
walk with him. Pray your friendships will draw you closer
to God and will give you the support you need
in this world. Take a deep breath, be filled with

(08:43):
the peace of the Lord. Exhale slowly and release any
tension that is still lingering from today. Allow His peace
to comfort you and give you rest tonight.
