all my worries to you, trusting that you will watch
over me through the night. I pray for calming dreams

(01:12):
and a night of deep, undisturbed sleep, so that I

I thank you, Lord for your ending grace and benevolence.
May your guiding light continue to lead me on my journey,
and may you grant me the strength to overcome whatever

(01:36):
challenges come my way. With these thoughts in mind, I

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Hello, I'm great. For tonight's sleep Psalm by Prey dot com.
We will be meditating on Psalm ninety one. Begin by
relaxing your body and getting comfortable. Lie flat on your back.
Rest your arms gently by your side, and soften your

(03:19):
fingers and toes. Use a pillow to support your neck.
Relax your shoulders, relax your muscles inhale and exhale. Release
the tension in your body. Close your eyes and take

(03:39):
a deep breath. Clear your mind of any distractions. Focus
your thoughts on God. Know he is the almighty God
who delivers you from the terrors of the night and
sustains you through the darkness that surrounds you. Breathe in
His power and strength. Breathe out your fears and worries.

(04:05):
Know He will lift your burdens and carry them far
away on his wings. Open your heart to hear God's voice. Tonight,
take a few deep breaths through your nose, with each inhale,
take deeper, longer breaths to slow your heart rate down.

(04:29):
As your heart relaxes, Ask God to speak to you
through his word and to comfort you with his truth.
In the Bible, God does not promise us a life
without trouble, but he does promise to help us and
comfort us in times of trouble. Tonight, allow the Lord's

(04:53):
presence to comfort you and help you sleep peacefully through
the night. Twenty one from the King James's version says
he that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High,
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will
say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress,

(05:16):
my God. In him, will I trust. Surely he shall
deliver thee from the snare of the fowler and from
the noisome pestilence. Ye shall cover thee with his feathers,
and under his wings shalt thou trust. His truth shall
be thy shield and buckler, Thou shalt not be afraid

(05:37):
for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that
flieth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand
shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy
right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. Only

(05:59):
with THEE thine eyes, shalt thou behold and see the
reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord,
which is my refuge, even the most high thy habitation.
There shall no evil befall THEE. Neither shall any plague
come nigh thy dwelling. For He shall give his angels

(06:21):
charge over thee to keep THEE in all thy ways.
They shall bear THEE up in their hands. Lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone, thou shalt tread upon
the lion and adder, the young lion and the dragon.
Shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his

(06:42):
love upon me, Therefore will I deliver him. I will
set him on high. Because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him.
I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver
him and honor him with long life. I will satisfy

(07:03):
him and shew him my salvation. As you lay down
to sleep, take refuge in God and rest safely under
his wings. Take a deep breath, be filled with the
presence of the Almighty. Hold your breath for a few seconds.

(07:23):
Exhale slowly and feel his presence flow through you, relaxing
your body, calming your mind, and refreshing your soul. Breathe
in and out slowly. Close your eyes and imagine the
presence of the Lord covering you like the feathers of

(07:45):
a bird. The Lord takes you under his wings, where
you are safe and secure, where no harm can come
to you, where no one and nothing can overcome you.
Feel the warmth of his feathers comforting you as you sleep.
Open your eyes and look up at the ceiling. Take

(08:10):
a deep breath. Visualize the angels of the Lord lifting
you up in their hands, protecting you through the night.
As you exhale, release your fears to the Lord. Put
your trust in him. His faithfulness will shield you from

(08:30):
the deadly pestilence, from the terrors of the night. Inhale
and exhale slowly, release any stress and tension in your
body and rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Think
of a time when your fears were greater than your

(08:51):
faith in God. Confess any fears and doubts that you
are still struggling with. Lay them at the feet of
the Lord. Allow his voice to remind you of his power,
provision and protection. Ask him to increase your faith in
the face of fear. Breathe in and out slowly as

(09:16):
you inhale, Receive the forgiveness of God. As you exhale,
release any guilt and shame you are carrying with you
from today. Rejoice in his salvation. Praise Him for his faithfulness.
Thank him for the times he has protected you. Thank

(09:38):
him for the times he has helped you and delivered you.
Think of a person who needs God's protection tonight. Pray
he will cover them with his wings and guard them
with his angels. Pray his presence will comfort them as
they sleep Tonight. Call on the Lord, and if he

(10:00):
will answer you, lift your requests to God and he
will deliver you. Pray for God's provision in your life.
Pray he will give you what you need for tomorrow,
and he will sustain you through the night. Pray for
God's help in a difficult situation. Pray he will deliver

(10:22):
you from your fears and worries and comfort you as
you sleep. Pray for God's protection over you and your family.
Pray he will keep you safe as you rest in
Him tonight and as you face the troubles of tomorrow.
Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly, and release any tension

(10:46):
that is still lingering from today. Relax your neck and shoulders,
soften your muscles and your joints. As your body relaxes,
close your eyes and dwell in the safety of the Lord,
and rest peacefully through the night.
