I'm Bishop TD Jake's inviting you to unwind your mind and spirit with tonight's sleep psalm. The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe, his eyes examine the children of men. Psalms 11:4. My God and King, you are my foundation. You are the stronghold for my heart, mind, and soul. You reign on a throne of righteousness and holiness. If you were to give me even a fraction of your presence, it would be enough to satisfy me for a thousand lifetimes. But you don't just give me a fraction, you offer me the fullness of who you are. While the wicked have fashioned their weapons to win the war of life, you have placed me behind you so I might behold your victory. It is a sweet and comforting thing to know I am safe in you, and my future is held firmly in the same hands that hold the heavens. I love you, Lord. Help me to sleep soundly. In your loving arms tonight, in Jesus' name, Amen. Thank you, for praying with me. I'm Bishop TD Jake's inviting you to unwind your mind and spirit with tonight's sleep song.

Thank you for joining me, Bishop Titi Jakes, for tonight's episode of The Sleep Psalms Podcast. If this episode blessed you, follow the podcast so you never miss a nightly encouragement.

Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep psalm by pray. Com, we will be meditating on Psalm 11. Close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly. Relax your neck and shoulders. Lay your fingers gently by your side or on your lap. Inhale and exhale slowly through your nose. As you control your breathing, feel the tension in your muscles release. Feel your joints soften and your heart rate slow down. Breathe in and out. As your body relaxes, focus on opening your mind and heart to hear God's voice. Put your fears and doubts in God's hands. Ask for him to speak to you tonight. Allow his voice to soothe your soul and allow his peace to lead you into deep, restful sleep. Uncertainty in our lives can cause fear, panic, and confusion. We may be tempted to flee our problems or look elsewhere for comfort. But tonight, we can find comfort and strength as we take refuge in the Lord. Psalm 11, from the King James version says, In the Lord, I put my trust. How say ye to my soul? Fle as a bird to your mountain. For lo, the wicked bend their bow. They make ready their arrow upon the string that they may privilege shoot at the upright in heart.

[00:05:37]

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men. The Lord tryeth the righteous, but the wicked and him that loveth violence, his soul hateeth. Upon the wicked, he shall reign snares, fire, and brimstone, and an horrible tempest. This shall be the portion of their cup. For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness. His countenance doth behold the upright. Meditating on God's word helps relieve any stress and anxiety we carry with us into the night. In times of uncertainty, our minds are flooded with the worries of what might happen to us. We focus on everything that is wrong in our lives, but focusing on God's truth can put our minds at ease and allow our souls to rest peacefully. As you lie down tonight, focus on the truths the Psalmist reveals about God. Reflect on God's power and righteousness. Be reminded of God's love for justice and of his sovereignty over the wicked and the righteous. Bask in the goodness of God. Take delight in his presence. Breathe in and out. Take a deep breath.

[00:07:13]

As your chest rises, feel the Lord's strength pulling you up and helping you overcome your struggles. Exhale slowly. As your chest falls, feel the Lord's power striking down your fears and worries. As your mind settles, feel the Lord's protection surrounding you, keeping you safe and secure through the night. Rest in his mighty hands. Breathe in and out. Close your eyes and imagine a foundation so sturdy that it can never be shaken in a storm. It can never crumble underneath your feet, and it will be standing until the end of time. Know the Lord is your foundation that can never be shaken. Allow his wisdom to guide you and his love to sustain you. Breathe in and out. Release any tension in your body. Think of an uncertain time in your life when you looked to others for comfort and provision rather than God. Ask for his forgiveness for not turning to him in times of trouble. Confess when you felt God wasn't big enough to handle your circumstances. Ask him to help you rely on him for everything you need, especially when life is hard. Take a deep breath and be filled with his grace.

[00:08:50]

As you breathe out, let go of your guilt and shame. Surrender to God's love and find inner peace and rest. Praise God for the times he has protected you in your life. Praise God for the times he has provided for you and your family. Thank him for all the amazing things he is doing in your life right now. Think of someone who needs God to intervene in their circumstances. Pray for protection and peace over them. Lay your requests before God. Cast all your cares and anxieties on Him. Allow His comfort and strength to help you experience a deep, restful sleep tonight. Pray for the righteous to be upheld during times of persecution. Pray they will stand firm to the end. Pray for protection for you and your family as you sleep tonight. Pray God will give you discernment. Pray for His wisdom to guide you and keep you on his path that leads to peaceful rest. Pray God will draw you near him during times of uncertainty. Pray he will remind you of his goodness and help you focus on him tonight. Clear your mind of any distractions. Release any stress that is still lingering from today.

[00:10:21]

Completely surrender to God. Put your trust in Him. Breathe in and out slowly. As your body relaxes, allow God to refresh your soul and help you rest through the night.
