I'm Bishop T. D. Jakes, inviting you to unwine your mind and spirit with Tonight's sleep Psalm Lord, I have called on you. Come to me. Quickly listen to my voice when I called to you, Psalm one forty one, Verse one. Dear Lord, I pray that you would set a guard over my heart to night when bitterness balls up within me, settled me down and put me on higher ground. I pray that I would rest assured that justice is yours and that I do not need to
fight against foolish people. Ease my troubled mind and make me content in you. Relieve me from this burden of bitterness and release that anchor of animosity. I want to sleep soundly, free from frenetic anger. Repute me when my heart bends toward hatred. Comfort me with your disciplining rod and guiding staff. I trust said tomorrow will bring new challenges and opportunities to lean on your grace and extend that grace to others. In Jesus' name, I pray Amen.

Hello, I'm Grace for tonight's sleep song. Bye pray dot com. We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and forty one. Lie down flat on your back, relax your neck and shoulders, rest your hands by your side. Look up at the ceiling, and choose a focal point to help you focus your mind on God's word. Take a deep breath through your nose, feel your belly rise to the ceiling. Hold your breath for a few seconds. Exhale through your mouth and feel your belly relax as your abdomen pushes the air into
your body. Breathe in and out slowly. Concentrate on your focal point. Picture God sitting above you. Fix your eyes on the Lord. Know he will give you strength to help you face each day, and He will give you peace to help you rest each night. With your next inhale, lift up your fears and worries to Him with your next, exhale, release any anxious thoughts, and open your mind to hear God's word. Every day we face temptation to follow the ways of the world rather than the ways of God.
To night, find strength and wisdom in the Lord to keep you on the path of life and peace. Psalm one hundred forty one from the King James version says, Lord, I cry unto thee, make haste unto me, Give ear unto my voice. When I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Set
a watch, o Lord, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice wicked works with men that work iniquity, and let me not eat of their dainties. Let the righteous smite me. It shall be a kindness, and let him reprove me it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head. For yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth. And when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. But mine eyes are unto thee O God. The Lord in thee is my truest. Leave not my soul destitute. Keep me from thy snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I will thou escape. Meditating on God's word helps us discern what is right and wrong in our world, and it helps us know
how to navigate the road of temptation tonight. Find power and comfort in God's truth to help you walk in his way. Light and love, and rest in His power and presence. Take a deep breath. Ask the Lord to fill your mind with his thoughts, and your body and heart with his truth and love. Exhale slowly and listen for his voice. Listen for the spirit of truth to lead you down the path of life and peace, where you will find satisfaction and rest for your soul. Breathe
in and out slowly. Rest in the presence of the Lord. Allow his power to rest upon you, strengthening you to face the temptation of tomorrow. Take refuge in the Lord. Feel the might of his hands uphold you during the day and sustain you through the night. Think of a time when you rejected a fellow Christian's or a loved one's advice when they were speaking God's truth into your life. Confess any sin, Confess any resentment you have towards this person.
Repent of any ways that do not align with the word of God. Take a deep breath. Allow God's forgiveness to wash away your sin. Exhale slowly and allow His love to flow through you, removing your shame and filling you with his grace and truth. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind in His word. Think of a time when God transformed your life with his truth and grace. Thank Him for saving you from the destruction of sin. Thank Him for delivering you from the evil one. Thank
him for redeeming you with his salvation. Think of a person who is struggling with some type of addiction. Pray God will deliver them from the evil one. Pray he will fill them with his strength so they can throw off everything that hinders their relationship with him. Pray he will rescue them with his love and grace and restore them with his salvation. Call upon the Lord for his help, and he will come to your rescue. Tell him about your struggles, lift up your troubles. Know he will help
you and deliver you. Pray for the Lord to lead you away from the temptation in this world. Pray you will not fall. Pray to the wicked schemes of the devil. Pray for the Lord to open your mind and soften your heart to take the wise advice of fellow Christians. Pray you will accept the teachings and correcting of scripture. Pray for the Lord to protect you and your family as you sleep. Pray you will rest in His peace throughout the night. Breathe in and out slowly, find peace
in the presence of the Lord. Find strength in his hands. Close your eyes and allow his peace to refresh you and his strength to restore you as you sleep tonight.
