Speaker 2 (02:27):
Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's Sleep Psalm by pray dot Com.
We will be meditating on Psalm fifty. In this life,
it is so easy to be distracted, making it difficult
to focus on God's word. Before we listen to Tonight's psalm,

(02:48):
let's prepare our body and mind to receive his truth.
Begin by getting in a comfortable position in a quiet space.
Lay down flat on your back or sit straight up
in a chair. Inhale and exhale slowly through your nose.

(03:09):
Close your eyes, and imagine your body relaxing with each breath.
When you breathe in, feel the oxygen fill your lungs
with air. When you breathe out, feel your body relax,
Feel the tension leave your muscles and joints. Relax your

(03:30):
neck and shoulders. Breathe in.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
And out.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Take another deep breath. Exhale slowly and clear your mind
of any distractions or anxious thoughts. Breathe in God's goodness.
Breathe out your stress and anxiety. Ask God to open
your mind and heart to hear his voice of truth.

(04:00):
Allow his tender whispers of love to fill your heart
with joy, and to help you rest throughout the night.
The Bible tells us God wants our praise, love, and
faithfulness to night. Let's commit ourselves to the Lord and
experience his hope and peace as we lay down to rest.

(04:24):
Psalm fifty from the King James's version says, the Mighty God,
even the Lord hath spoken and called the earth from
the rising of the sun, unto the going down thereof
out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.
Our God shall come and shall not keep silence. A

(04:48):
fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very
temptuous round about him. He shall call to the heavens
from above and to the earth, that he may judge
his people, gather many saints together unto me, those that
have made a covenant with me by sacrifice, and the
heavens shall declare his righteousness. For God is judge himself.

(05:13):
Seillah here o my people, and I will speak O Israel,
and I will testify against thee I am God, even
thy God. I will not reprove THEE for thy sacrifices
or thy burnt offerings to have been continually before me.

(05:33):
I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor
he goats out of thy field. For every beast of
the forest is mine, and the cattle upon the hills.
I know all the fowls of the mountains, and the
wild beasts of the field are mine. If I were hungry,
I would not tell THEE, for the world is mine

(05:56):
and the fullness thereof. Will I eat thee flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats? Offer unto God thanksgiving,
and pay thy vows unto the Most High, and call
upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver THEE.
And thou shalt glorify me, But unto the wicked God saith.

(06:19):
What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, Seeing
thou hatest instruction and casteth my words behind thee. When
thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and
hast been partaker with adulters. Thou givest thy mouth to evil,
and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against

(06:42):
thy brother, thou slanderest thine own mother son. These things
thou hast done, and I kept silence thou thoughtest that
I was altogether such an one as thyself. But I
will reprove thee and set them in order before thine eyes.
Now consider this, ye, that for good God, lest I

(07:06):
tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
Whoso offereth praise, glorifieth me, and to him that ordereth
his conversation. All right, I will shew the salvation of God.
The Bible tells us we are saved by God's grace,
not by our works. God is not satisfied when we

(07:29):
go through the motions of religion. God wants us to
obey him, but he is most satisfied when we are
authentic in our walk with him. Let's lay down our
lives at his feet and find rest in our commitment
to the Lord. Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly, releasing

(07:51):
any tension in your body. Close your eyes and picture
yourself standing before the Lord. Feel the warmth of his love.
Bask in his presence. Know his yoke is easy and
his burden is light. Take a deep breath and surrender

(08:12):
your life to God. Put everything in his hands. As
you exhale, imagine letting go of the ways of the
world and submitting to God's ways. Breathe in and out.
Feel your shoulders relax as the burdens from this world

(08:33):
are lifted. Open your eyes and rejoice in the Lord
for who he is, His beauty and glory that fills
your life with priceless treasures and beautiful blessings. Know a
heart filled with gratitude pleases the Lord. Know he is
pleased with you. To night, as you come before him

(08:56):
and offer him sincere thanks, trust, and praise, Know you
can rest safely and securely in his salvation tonight. Acknowledge
any unconfessed sin before the Lord and ask for his forgiveness.

(09:19):
Ask him to help you love him and obey him.
Ask him to teach you what it means to follow him.
Take a deep breath. Feel his mercy and love wash
over you. With your next exhale. Let go of any
guilt and shame you are experiencing. Know his righteousness vindicates you.

(09:43):
Praise the Lord for his righteousness, for his mercy and justice.
Praise him for his love and forgiveness. Thank him for
the blessings he has given you and for the times
He has helped you and delivered you. Think of some
one who needs to experience God in the real, authentic

(10:04):
way to night. Pray God will lead them to him
and ask for him to open their eyes and hearts
to his truth. Lay your requests before the Lord. Know
that he will deliver you from your troubles when you
honor Him with your life. Pray God will guide you

(10:24):
unto his path of life and righteousness. Pray he will
make your steps secure. Pray God will help you surrender
all areas of your life to him and help you
submit to all His ways. Pray you will find joy
and peace in this sweet surrender. Pray God will protect

(10:46):
you and your family. To night, Pray you will experience deep,
RESTful sleep that will rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.
Breathe in and out slowly release any tension and stress
that is still lingering from today. Invite God's presence as

(11:09):
you sleep. As your body relaxes, allow God to refresh
your soul and bring you peace to help you rest
through the night.
