Hello, I'm Grace. For tonight's sleep Song by pray dot Com. We will be meditating on songs eighty eight. Breathe in and out slowly. Relax your neck and shoulders. Rest your feet flat on the floor or on your bed. Take a few deep breaths inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. With each breath. Feel your heart rate slow down and your mind quiet down. Clear your mind of any distractions. Focus on God as your savior and redeemer. Meditate on his love and on his saving grace. Know he saves you from death and destruction. Know he sees you, and he loves you, and he will sustain you with his strength. Breathe in slowly, feel his strength fill your lungs.

When our strength is depleted and our sorrow threatens to overtake us, the Bible reminds us we can turn to God and express our deepest fears and worries to him, knowing he is there every time we call upon him. Psalm eighty eight from the King James's version says, O, Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee. Let my prayer come before thee. Incline thine ear unto my cry, for my soul is full of troubles, and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. I am counted with them that go down into the pit. I am as a man that hath no strength, free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom Thou rememberest no more, and they are cut off from Thy hand. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit in darkness, in the deeps. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Sellah, thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me. Thou hast made me an abomination. Unto them, I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction. Lord, I have called daily unto THEE, I have stretched out my hands. Unto THEE. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead. Shall the dead arise and praise thee? Sillah? Shall thy loving kindness be declared in the grave, or thy faithfulness in destruction? Shall thy wonders be known in the dark, and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness. But unto THEE have I cried, O Lord? And in the morning, shall my prayer prevent thee?

Lord?

Why casteth thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me? I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up while I suffer thy terrors, I am distracted. Thy fierce wrath goeth over me. Thy terrors have cut me off. They came round about me daily like water. They compassed me about together lover and friend, hast thou put far from me and mine acquaintance into darkness. When we pray to God, we may not always find relief from our stress and anxiety or the solution to our problems right away. But God's word makes it clear that God is always with us, and he listens to us when we call upon him. We don't have to be cheerful to come to the Lord. We can bring our grief and depression, our troubles and worries to Him and find rest in His presence. Take a deep breath as your chest rises, feel God pull you out of the lowest pit, out of the darkest depths of despair. Exhale slowly and release any stress and tension in your muscles, Release any anxious thoughts, and surrender to the Lord. Take another deep breath. As you inhale, imagine God lifting your burdens, alleviating your stress so that you may find relief to rest tonight. Exhale slowly and feel the presence of God rest upon you, keeping you safe and warm through the night. Sometimes, when life is hard and we are facing seemingly impossible circumstances, we begin to doubt God's goodness and faithfulness. Confess any fears and doubts you have, lift them to God and ask him to restore your faith in him. Breathe in his goodness and faithfulness. Breathe out your guilt and shame Inhale and exhale. Slowly release any tension in your body. Allow God's strength to sustain you through the night. Think of the ways God has kept his promises in your life. Thank him for his faithfulness. Thank him for the times he has helped you and delivered you. Thank Him for comforting you tonight. Think of someone who needs to experience God's healing. Pray he will place his hands on them and restore their body, mind, and soul. Pray he will help them rest safely in his hands tonight. Cry out to the Lord. Tell him about your troubles and your struggles. Cast your fears and worries on him. Know he cares for you and loves you. Know he is always in control and nothing happens without his knowledge. Pray for God's healing in your home. Pray for Him to heal you and your family from any disease or disorder that is causing you pain physically or emotionally. Pray for him to restore you Tonight. Pray for God's provision in your life. Lift your needs to God and trust him to help you. Pray for God's protection as you sleep. Pray he will sustain you through the night and renew your spirit as you rest. Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly and release any tension that is still lingering from today. Draw near to God.
