Speaker 2 (02:56):
Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's Psalm by Prey dot com.
We will be meditating on Psalm seventy four. Before meditating
on God's word, relax your body and open your mind
and heart to receive His truth Inhale and exhale slowly
(03:18):
through your nose. Rest one of your hands gently on
your stomach. With each breath. Feel your hand rise and
fall as your stomach expands and contracts. Take a deep
breath through your nose. As your stomach expands, feel your
(03:39):
air flow from your lungs into your abdomen. Exhale slowly
through your nose and feel your stomach push the air out,
allowing the oxygen to flow freely throughout your body, rejuvenating
every cell and every muscle. With your next excite, release
(04:01):
any tension in your body. Feel your heart lighten as
your body relaxes and as you take deep breaths through
your nose, close your eyes and focus your thoughts on God.
Meditate on his promises. Know He is always with you,
(04:22):
upholding you and sustaining you. Breathe in his power and strength.
Breathe out your stress and anxiety from today. Clear your
mind of any distractions, and get ready to listen to
His word. Take a deep breath. Ask God to speak
(04:44):
to you tonight and comfort you with his everlasting truth.
Exhale slowly and release any tension in your body. When
we face battles in our lives, it is easy to
focus on the losses in our present rather than the
victories in our past. In these moments, the Bible tells
(05:08):
us to reflect on the times the Lord has delivered
us and hold on to the hope that He will
rescue us at just the right time. Psalm seventy four
from the King James version says, O God, why hast
thou cast us off forever? Why doth thine anger smoke
(05:29):
against the sheep of thy pasture? Remember thy congregation, which
thou hast purchased of old, the rod of thine inheritance,
which thou hast redeemed this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt,
lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations, even all
(05:49):
that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. Thine
enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations. They set
up their ensigns for signs. A man was famous according
as he had lifted up axes upon thick trees. But
now they break down the carved work thereof at once
with axes and hammers. They have cast fire into thy sanctuary.
(06:14):
They have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of
thy name to the ground. They said in their hearts,
let us destroy them together. They have burned up all
the synagogues of God in the land. We see not
our signs. There is no more any prophet, neither is
(06:35):
there among us any that knoweth. How long o God,
how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blasphemy
thy name forever? Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy
right hand, pluck it out of thy bosom. For God
is my king of old working salvation. In the midst
(06:57):
of the earth, Thou didst divide them. See by thy
strength thou breakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Thou breakest the heads of the Vithan in pieces, and
gavest him to be meet to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood. Thou driedest
(07:18):
up mighty rivers. The day is thine, the night is
also thine. Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth. Thou
hast made summer and winter. Remember this that the enemy
hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have
(07:40):
blasphemed thy name. O, deliver not the soul of thy
turtle dove unto the multitude of the wicked. Forget not
the congregation of thy poor forever have respect unto the covenant.
For the dark places of the earth are full of
the habitations of cruelty. Oh, let not the oppressed return ashamed.
(08:03):
Let the poor and needy praise thy name. Arise, O God,
plead thine own case. Remember how the foolish man reproacheth
THEE daily. Forget not the voice of Thine enemies. The
tumults of those that rise up against THEE increaseth Continually
meditating on the mighty deeds of the Lord can help
(08:25):
lift your spirit and bring you hope to comfort you
through the night. Knowing anything is possible with God will
put your mind at ease and fill your heart with joy.
With your next breath, imagine God rising to defend you,
his mighty hands lifting you above your troubles. Know these
(08:49):
same hands that save you and deliver you are the
same hands that created the sun and the moon, the
same hands that separate the day from night and the
summer from winter. Know you are safe and secure in
the mighty hands of the Lord. He will protect you
(09:10):
and sustain you through the night. Close your eyes and
take a deep breath. Allow God to fill you with
his strength. When you exhale, feel his strength flow through
your veins, restoring your mind, body, and soul. Breathe in
(09:32):
his hope. Breathe out your fears and worries. Put your
trust in Him and find rest tonight. Acknowledge any unconfessed
sin to the Lord. Confess any doubts you have, ask
(09:57):
for his forgiveness all Allow His mercy and love to
wash over you. Exhale slowly and release any guilt and
shame you are carrying with you tonight. Know his salvation
secures your future in him. Rejoice in the salvation of
(10:18):
the Lord. Praise him for his power and strength. Thank
him for the times he has helped you and delivered you.
Thank him for the ways he is faithful in your life.
Think of someone who needs God's deliverance. Pray he will
intervene on their behalf. Pray he will comfort them with
(10:41):
his powerful presence tonight as they sleep. Call upon the
Lord and lift up your requests. Cast all your fears
and anxieties on him. Know he hears your prayers and
he will answer you in his perfect timing. Pray God
will protect you from the evil in this world. Pray
(11:04):
he will sustain you through the night. Pray God will
administer his justice in your life. Pray you will patiently
wait for Him to act on your behalf. Pray God
will deliver you from your fears and worries. Pray you
will keep you in His perfect peace. As you rest,
(11:27):
take a deed breath, put your trust in the promises
of God. Exhale slowly and release any stress and tension
that is still lingering from to day. Close your eyes
and allow God's presence to soothe your soul and help
you sleep peacefully through the night.
