I'm Bishop td Jakes, inviting you to unwine your mind and spirit with Tonight's sleep song. Create in me a clean heart, O, God, renew a right spirit within me, Psalm fifty one.

Ten, God of Mercy, the weight of shame is too heavy for me to beer. Unconfessed sin robs me of rest and rids me of peace. I confess my sin to you. Please take the burden of my sin away from me, restore my soul, and remind me of your mercy. There is no sacrifice you require from me, or self punishment worth pursuing. You desire a pure and contrite heart. You desire repentance soul. So here I am tonight, bowing my heart before you in reverence and repentance. Forgive me God. I want to fall into a deep sleep with the safety of a bird under its mother's wings. So cover me in your grace and tuck me into bed with your mercy. 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 sleeps.

Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep song by pray dot Com. We will be meditating on Psalm fifty one this evening. Begin by focusing on controlling your breathing to relax your body and open your mind and heart to receive God's truth. You can lie down flat on your back, or you can sit straight up in a chair. Relax your neck and shoulders. Put one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach. Breathe in slowly through your nose. Notice your chest is relatively flat while your stomach expands. Hold your breath for a few seconds. Purse your lips gently, press on your stomach, and exhale slowly. As you inhale, Notice how the oxygen flows from your nose through your lungs to your abdomen As you exhale, feel the stress in your muscles and joints. Release, relaxing your body. If you are experiencing tension in a particular area, Breathe in and out slowly and focus on softening that part of your body with each new breath. Feel your heart rate slow down, settling you down for sleep. Take a deep breath through your nose. Exhale slowly, and surrender any anxious thoughts you have. Release any stress you are carrying with you from today. Close your eyes and imagine God lifting your burdens. Feel the weight come off your shoulders, helping you unwind for the night. Although nothing can separate us from the love of God, sometimes our unconfessed sin can hinder our relationship with Him and make him seem far away. Tonight, let's bring the heaviest pieces of our heart to God and find hope and freedom in his forgiveness. Psalm fifty one from the King James version says, have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions, Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me against THEE THEE. Only have I sinned and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold thou desirest truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part. Thou shalt make me to no wisdom. Purge me with hyghesop, and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may riteal Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence, and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then I will teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation, and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. O Lord, Open thou my lips, and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise for Thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it? Thou delightest not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart. O God, thou wilt not despise, do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion, build thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering. Then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. At night, when we find ourselves in a quiet, dark place, we sometimes struggle with our sin and shame. Our sin and shame can keep us up at night, making it hard to find rest, draining the life and energy from our body. But God doesn't want us to sit in our sin and shame. He wants us to bring them to him so that He can cleanse us and free us. In his mercy and grace, we can find rest that restores our mind, body, and soul. Take a deep breath, inhale and exhale slowly through your nose. Close your eyes, and imagine a book about your life that contains every mistake you have ever made, every sin you have ever committed. This book seems heavy and the ending seems hopeless. Now think of God blotting out every iniquity, leaving the pages in your book wider than snow. Open your eyes and know God has taken every sin and every source of shame and has thrown them into the sea of forgetfulness. Your ending is full of hope and happiness because of His great love and compassion for you. Breathe in and out slowly, Meditate on His mercy and grace. Feel the joy and freedom of his salvation. Know he will lead you down his path of life and righteousness, or you will be safefe and secure where He will sustain you every day and night. Inhale slowly through your nose. As you exhale, let God lift your burdens and take you by the hand to guide you to a place where His desires become yours, a place where you can rest peacefully through the night. Confess any sin to the Lord and ask for his forgiveness. Ask him to help you face any consequences and to restore the joy of your relationship with him. Take a deep breath, feel his mercy and grace wash over you. With your next exhale, Let go of any guilt and shame you are experiencing. Know He will cleanse you with his righteousness from the inside out. Praise the Lord for his righteousness. Thank him for the grace and love he has shown you. Thank you for his salvation that brings you joy in the night. Think of someone who needs to experience God's grace and love tonight. Pray you will take away their guilt and shame and help them rest through the night. Lay your requests before the Lord. Surrender any stress and anxiety from today. Put everything in his hands, and allow His hope and peace to wash over you and calm your mind, body, and soul for sleep. Pray God will deliver you from the evil one and lead you away from temptation. Pray your choices will glorify Him and bring you to a place where you can rest easily. Pray God will create a pure heart and spirit in you so that you will please him. Pray you will renew your spirit as you rest tonight. Pray God will help you rest in His grace and love. Pray you will experience a deep, RESTful sleep throughout the night. Breathe in and out slowly. Know God will sustain you throughout the night. As your body relaxes, allow God to refresh your soul and bring you peace to help you rest through the night.
