I'm Bishop T. D. Jake's inviting you to unwine your
mind and spirit with Tonight's Sleep Psalm. I cried to
the Lord with my voice. With my voice, I made
supplication to Gold Psalm Verse one. Heavenly Father, tonight, I
(00:32):
prayed to you with a quieted voice, and I hushed.
So I am weak and weary from the day and
need deep rest. When the wear and tear of the
(00:57):
weak accumulates. Trust in the God who rejuvenates your word
declares that you are a refuge for the weary and
care for the souls of the weak. I call upon
those promises tonight and ask for a heavy sleep. Draw
(01:22):
out a sigh of relief from me, like waters from
a deep well. Release me from the tension of the
week's troubles. Bring me out of the hardened ground, and
raise me into your peaceful presence. I trust that you
will respond, for you are could go shifle kime and
(01:53):
feel with compassion. I pray these things with trust, he
and devotion in Jesus' name. Amen, I'm Bishop TD Jakes,
(02:18):
inviting you to unwind your mind and spirit with tonight's
sleep song. Prepare your heart for this devotional from the

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep psalm by pray dot com.
We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and forty two.
As you lay down to sleep, focus on relaxing your
body and calming your mind. Begin by taking a deep,
cleansing breath. Feel the fresh air, rejuvenate your lungs. Exhale slowly,
(03:36):
and release any stress in your muscles and any tension
in your body. Close your eyes and focus on releasing
each anxious thought to help you meditate on God's word.
With each inhale, lift a thought that is distracting you
from fully focusing on God's presence and word. With each exhale,
(03:59):
release that thought to the Lord and allow his presence
to quiet your mind. As your body relaxes and your
mind calms, open your heart to hear God's voice. Allow
his presence to comfort you with his hope and peace.
Allow his word to renew your mind and spirit and
(04:21):
refresh your soul. When we feel alone in our pain
and suffering, the Bible reminds us we can call out
to God in our distress and take refuge in him.
Psalm one hundred forty two from the King James version says,
I cried unto the Lord with my voice. With my
(04:42):
voice unto the Lord, did I make my supplication. I
poured out my complaint before him. I shewed before him
my trouble, when my spirit was overwhelmed within me. Then
thou knewest my path in the way wherein I walked?
Have they privily laid a snare for me? I looked
on my right hand and beheld, but there was no
(05:05):
man that would know me. Refuge failed me, No man
cared for my soul. I cried unto thee O Lord,
I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in
the land of the living. Attend unto my cry, for
I am brought very low. Deliver me from my persecutors,
(05:26):
for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out
of prison, that I may praise Thy name. Thy righteous
shall compass about me, for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
Meditating on God's word can help us feel closer to him.
His word can lift our spirits and fill our hearts
(05:48):
with his peace. When the world is against us, we
can rest in the presence of the one who is
for us. Take a deep breath, Lift your feet years
and worries to the Lord. Lift your troubles and struggles
to him. Exhale slowly, feeling his hands deliver you. Lifting
(06:12):
the heaviness that weighs down your spirit and heart, Lifting
the anxious thoughts that consume your mind. Rest in the
strength and peace of the Lord. With a clear mind,
focus on God's love and mercy. Focus on his promises
to help you and deliver you. Allow his love to
(06:35):
free you. Allow his promises to bring you hope. In
the darkness of night, take refuge in the Lord. Dwell
in the safety of his presence. Think of the times
in your life you lost hope in the power and
strength of the Lord. Think of the times you did
(06:55):
not rely on Him for his help because you had
lost trust in him. Confess any sin that is weighing
heavily on your heart. Confess any doubts of God's goodness
and love. Ask for God's forgiveness. Ask for him to
help you. Put your trust in Him always, even when
(07:17):
life is hard. Think of a time when God's presence
comforted you during a difficult time. Thank Him for always
being there for you. Thank Him for his comfort and love.
Thank Him for the strength he has given you to
carry you through some of your most difficult days and
(07:38):
of your darkest nights. Think of a person who needs
to experience the hope of the Lord tonight. Pray God
will touch their hearts and make his presence known to them.
Pray God will comfort them with his promises and sustain
them with his strength. Come before thee Lord and lift
(08:01):
your requests to him. Pour out your complaints and troubles
before him. Ask for his help and deliverance. Put your
trust in Him and know He is always with you
and for you. Pray for the Lord's people who are
facing dangers and persecution every day. Pray God will keep
(08:24):
them and sustain them and give them rest until He
delivers them. Pray for the Lord's help with a specific
struggle in your life. Pray God will free you from
the things of this world that try to entangle you
and hinder your daily walk with Him. Pray for the
(08:44):
Lord's presence to comfort you as you lay down to sleep.
Pray you will rest in His hope and peace to night.
Take a deep breath, be filled with the hope and
peace of the Lord. Exhale slowly and allow the power
of God to rest upon you. Close your eyes and
(09:08):
relax your body and calm your mind. As you drift
off to sleep, focus on the goodness of God, knowing
he will never leave you, and He will keep you
safe and warm as you rest through the night.
