Welcome to another tranquil episode of the Sleepy Scriptures One-Year Bible, where I read softly from the King James Version with soothing music to bring peace and rest through God’s Word.
In this episode, we continue through the Book of Psalms, reading Psalms 61 through 74—a collection of heartfelt prayers, songs of refuge, and praises to our unchanging God. David and the psalmists cry out from moments of distress and triumph, reminding us that the Lord is both our strength and sanctuary, a refuge in times of trouble, and the God of salvation who never fails His people.
As you listen tonight, allow these ancient songs to calm your spirit and lift your heart toward the One who hears every whisper of faith. Whether in weakness or gratitude, the Psalms remind us that God is near to all who call upon Him in truth.
Highlighted Verses:
- Psalm 61:2 — “From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
- Psalm 62:1–2 — “Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation.”
- Psalm 65:4 — “Blessed is the man whom thou choosest… we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house.”
- Psalm 68:19 — “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.”
- Psalm 71:9 — “Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.”
- Psalm 73:26 — “My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.”
Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let the Psalms of refuge and hope remind you that no matter the storm, God remains your unshakable foundation.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
