Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep song by pray dot Com. We will be meditating on Psalm one hundred and forty four. Take a deep breath. Feel the stress in your muscles and joints. Focus on contracting different parts of your body as you hold your breath for a few seconds. Exhale slowly and release the tension in your body, relaxing you, preparing you to meditate on God's word. Focus your thoughts on God, reflect on who he is. Know he is your rock you can stand on in the middle of
the storm. He is your shield that covers you with his protection, and he is your stronghold in times of trouble. Know the Almighty God is powerful enough and strong enough to carry your burdens. He wants you to put your trust in Him so that he can give you rest. Bring your stress and anxiety to the Lord and lay it at his feet. Know he wants to give you a life filled with hope, joy and peace. Take a
deep breath, surrender to the Lord. Exhale slowly and listen for his still small voice to speak to you through his word. The Bible reminds us God will help and bless those who put their hope and trust in Him to night. Find rest for your soul when you put your confidence in the power and strength of the Lord.
Psalm one hundred forty four from the King James version says, Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight, my goodness, and my fortress, my high tower, and my deliverer, my shield. And he in whom I trust, who subdueth my people under me. Lord, What is man that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man that thou makest account of him? Man is like to vanity. His days are as a shadow that passeth away. Bow thy heavens,
o Lord, and come down. Touch the mountains and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning and scatter them. Shoot out thine arrows and destroy them. Send Thine hand from above, rid me and deliver me out of great waters from the land of strange children whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. I will sing a new song unto thee O God, upon a psultree and an instrument of ten strings, will I
sing praises unto thee. It is he that giveth salvation unto kings who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword, rid me and deliver me from the hand of strange children whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. That our sons may be as plants grow up in their youth, That our daughters may be as corner stones polished after the similitude of a palace. That our garners may be full, affording all
manner of store. That our sheep may bring forth thousands and tens of thousands in our streets. That our oxen may be strong to labor, that there be no breaking in nor going out, that there be no complaining in our streets. Happy is that people, that is in such a case, yea happy is that people whose God is the Lord. Meditate on the power and strength of the Lord. Meditate on his sovereignty. Know his power he will defend you and deliver you. Know in his strength he will
uphold you and sustain you. In his sovereignty you can put your trust and find rest knowing He is in complete control of the circumstances in our world and in your life. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. See the mighty waters rise against you. As you exhale, feel the hands of God reach down and rescue you from the rage of the seas. Dwell in his fortress. Stand firm on the rock of your salvation. Rest safely and securely in the hands of the Lord. Believe no
harm will come to you as you sleep. Breathe in and out slowly, Take refuge in the Lord. Lift your spirit and praise the one who gives you victory, the one who delivers you from the rising waters and the crashing waves. In the calm after the storm, he will pour out his blessing upon you, satisfying you with his provision. Think of a time when you are struggling and God did not deliver you right away. Reflect on any doubts or anger that formed in your mind and heart during
this time. Confess any bitterness and resentment you may have towards God. Confess any trust you lost in Him. Ask God to help you be content in Him, whether you have plenty or you are in need. Take deep breath, allow His love and grace to wash over you. Exhale slowly, and release any doubts that are still lingering. Ask God to help you. Put your trust in him. Know the Lord will overflow your cup with blessings when you depend upon him. Rejoice in the power and strength of the Lord.
Rejoice in his faithfulness. Thank Him for his provision and protection in your life. Thank Him for being your rock you can count on. Thank Him for the blessings he has given you. Think of a person who needs God's help tonight. Pray God but will deliver them from their troubles. Pray God will restore them and replenish their needs with his provision. Come before the Lord and lay your requests before him. Ask him to pour out his blessing and
favor upon you and your family. Know the eyes of the Lord are on you as one of his righteous, and his ears are attentive to your prayers. Pray for the Lord's deliverance in your life. Pray he will deliver you from your fears and worries and from your troubles. Pray you will put your trust in Him as you wait for his help. Pray for the Lord's provision in your life. Pray you will find satisfaction in what He provides.
Pray for the Lord's protection tonight as you sleep, Pray he will keep watch over you and sustain you through the night. Take a deep breath. As you exhale, release any tension and stress that is still lingering from to day. Relax your neck and shoulders. Feel your body softened and your mind settle. As your body relaxes, allow God to refresh your soul and bring you peace to help you rest through the night.
