Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep song by pray dot Com. We will be meditating on song one hundred and twenty six. Breathe in and out slowly with each bra. Focus on taking longer, deeper breaths to slow down your heart. Calm your mind, and relax your body. Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly and release the stress and tension in your muscles and joints. Soften your fingers and toes. As your body relaxes, your thoughts will quiet down and your anxiety
will be relieved. Focus your thoughts on God. Meditate on the wonderful works of his hands. Meditate on all the great things He has done for you. As you reflect on his mighty deeds, feel your heart swell with joy and your spirit lift in praise. Take a deep breath, Exhale slowly and feel His joy flow through your veins, renewing everything it touches. Your body, your mind your soul. Remembering what God has done for us in the past will help us trust Him with the troubles in our
present and the unknowns in our future. Tonight, as you listen to His word, allow his truth to fill you with his joy and hope, trusting God has good plans for you. Psalm one hundred and twenty six from the King James version says, when the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them the dream then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then said they among the heathen. The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things
for us. Whereof we are glad turn again our captivity, O Lord. As the streams in the south, they that so in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing the sheaves with him. Thinking about the ways God has showed up in our past difficulties shows us how He will show up in our present and future difficulties. No matter what you are facing right now, put your confidence in the Lord, knowing he has good
plans for your life. Plans to give you hope and a future. Rest in His goodness tonight. Breathe in and out slowly, close your eyes and reflect on the ways God has used your trials and tribulations to grow you and transform you. No God will sustain you in the darkest of nights and restore you in the light of His glory in the morning. Take a deep breath, be filled with the hope of the Lord. Exhale slowly, and allow his hope to turn your tears into songs of
joy and your ashes into beauty. Know all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord. With your next exhale, let go of your worries and put your trust in the Lord's sovereign plan for your life. Think of a time when you win astray and travel down a dark path that led to consequences. Acknowledge any unconfessed sin. Ask the Lord for his forgiveness. Pray he will turn your heart toward him and help you walk down his path of life and righteousness. Breathe in his
mercy and love. Breathe out your sin and shame. Breathe in his power and strength. Breathe out your fears and doubts. Know the Lord will redeem you and will restore what has been lost. Think of all the wonderful things the Lord has done for you. Thank the Lord for the ways he has blessed you. Thank him for the times he has helped you and delivered you. Praise him for the miracles you have witnessed. Praise him for his provision and protection. Think of a person who needs God's help
tonight in a specific area of their life. Pray for healing and restoration. Pray they will find rest in his provision and peace. Bring your requests to the Lord. Tell him about your struggles and troubles. Tell him about your needs and wants. Know he will give you the desires of your heart when you are close to him. Pray for his redemption and restoration in your life. Pray you will live into that purpose to which you have been called, and you will keep your eyes on the Lord every
day and night. Pray for his provision in a specific area of your life. Pray his provision will satisfy your soul and fill you with his joy. Pray for his protection as you sleep. Pray you will rest safely and securely in His joy and peace. Take a deep breath allow God to fill you with everything you need to rest tonight. Exhale slowly and release any tension in the body. Close your eyes and allow His joy to warm your
heart and his peace to refresh your soul. In his presence, know you will experience deep, RESTful sleep that will restore you for tomorrow.
