Hello, I'm Grace Fortunights Sleep Psalm by Prey dot com. We will be meditating on Psalm seven. Start off the night by getting in a comfortable position. You can sit up straight in a chair or lay down on a bed or a sofa. Relax your neck and shoulders, rest your arms by your side, or rest your hands gently on your lap. Take a few deep breaths and release any tension in your body. Breathe in and out slowly, close your eyes and focus your thoughts on God. Remember He is your refuge in times of trouble, your shield that covers you and protects you through the night. He is also your savior that knows the pain and suffering you have had to experience in this world. He knows the burdens you are carrying from to day, and he wants to give you rest before listening to God's word. Clear your mind by lifting to day's worries and anxieties to the Lord. Focus on his promises, on his mercy and justice. Breathe in and out slowly. When you breathe in, allow your lungs to completely fill with air before exhaling. When you breathe out, release the stress and tension in your muscles. As your body relaxes, Focus on quieting your mind so that you can hear his voice bring you comfort and hope. To night. When our pain and suffering become too much to bear, the Bible tells us we can take refuge in God and find rest, knowing His justice will prevail in our lives and in our world. Psalm seven from the King James's version says, O, Lord, my God, in thee do I put my trust? Save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me. Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. O, Lord my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands, if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me, yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy. Let the enemy persecute my soul and take it. Yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honor in the dust. Saylah arise o, Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies, and awake from me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about for their sakes. Therefore return thou on high. The Lord shall judge the people. Judge me, o, Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity, that is in me. Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just for the righteous. God trieth the hearts and reigns. My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turns not, he will wet his sword. He hath bent his bow and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death. He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. Behold, he traveleth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit and diged it and has fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own plate. I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High. God warns us there will be injustice in this world. There may even be times when the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer. In these moments, No, God is always with us. He is our shield that protects us. His righteousness rescues us from the pit of destruction and despair. Take comfort knowing God made the righteous secure in his grace and love, and he will help you dwell in safety to night. Breathe in and out, slowly, turn to the Lord and bask in his presence. Allow His love and grace to wash over you, and his righteousness to cleanse you. Close your eyes and imagine God on High, ruling from his magnificent throne in heaven. Feel the warmth of his light on your face. See his mighty hands shielding you, holding you, keeping you safe through the storm. Relax your body, Breathe in and out. Focus your mind on God, the one who knows you better than any one even better than yourself. He knows what is in your heart and on your mind. Nothing can be hidden from him. Ask God to forgive any unconfessed sin you may have in your life. Ask God to forgive you for times you have hurt others unintentionally. Take a deep breath. Know God has completely forgiven you and does not hold any sin against you. Take comfort in knowing you are fully known and fully loved by your heavenly Father. Think of a time when you felt attacked by the enemy and God defended you against your false accuser. Praise God for revealing truth and restoring your reputation. Praise God for the things He has made right in your life and for the things He will make right in your life. Think of someone who has been wrong, accused, or persecuted and pray God will intervene in their circumstance by shining his light on the darkness and revealing the truth. Pray God will comfort them in times of despair. Lay your requests before God. Cast all your cares and anxieties on him. Allow His hope and comfort to help you experience a deep, RESTful sleep tonight. Pray God will defend the vulnerable and the oppressed in our world.
