• 1:27
  Speaker 2: settle into bed, make yourself comfortable, and take a few
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: deep breaths to help you relax. Whisper a quiet prayer

  Speaker 2: the peace that surpasses all understanding and comes from your spirit.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I pray that no matter where they are in the world,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: and no matter what they're feeling, that you will be
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: with them and free them from all anxiousness. Lord, Please
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: help this person release every ounce of worry and stress
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Right here.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: In the stillness of the room. Lead them to extend
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: their arms as a symbol of letting go of all
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the things that are troubling them.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Please help them.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Help them to know that you are with them and

  Speaker 2: that you love them deeply. Lord, I ask that you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: help this listener experience the freedom you offer when they
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: look to you for answers and guidance instead of looking
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to the world. Please help them remain and step with
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: your spirit, letting you guide them in every decision. Help
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: them to abide in the true vine, allowing you to
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: prune away all the things that don't belong and help
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: them to rest. And the protective shelter of your wings
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and the precious name of Jesus, I pray.

  Speaker 2: Now take one more slow breath in and exhale out.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Listen to these comforting words from Psalm ninety four, verses
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: eighteen and nineteen. When I said my foot is slipping,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Your unfailing love Lord supported me when anxiety was great
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: within me. Your consolation brought me joy. Rest in those
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: words for a few moments. Each of us, at different
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: times in our lives, has felt as though our feet
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: were slipping, either by our own choices or habits, or
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: by life's circumstances of which we have no control. We've
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: found ourselves slipping away and even falling a.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Time or two.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: If this describes you, please know that you're not alone.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Other brothers and sisters in Christ have slipped as well,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and many have found themselves living a life of imbalance
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and struggling to remain steady on their feet. But please
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: remember this, God's unfailing love is always there to support you.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: You are not left to figure out things for yourself.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: He is there to uphold you, to help you get back.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: On your feet, and then to lead you in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: way you should go.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You can trust him, lean on him and rest in him.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: There's great peace.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And knowing that God's unfailing love never leaves you. He
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: supports you every stay up of the way, steady, strong, unchanging, unfailing.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: That's what God's love is.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Rest and the stillness of the room, and feel God's
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: unfailing love surrounding you, supporting you and setting you free.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Let's pray, Precious God, Holy God. As the remnants of
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: worry and anxiety decrease, we feel your love increase more.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Thank You, we praise you. We rest in your presence
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and find freedom and your spirit, For where your spirit is,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: there is freedom. Tonight, Lord, break every stronghold of anxiety
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: in the life of this listener. Cut the chains of
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: fretfulness and unrest. Open wide the window of your peace
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and usher in the sweet fragrance of joy.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: It is in the name of Jesus we pray these things. Amen.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Listen again to our Bible passage of comfort and joy.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: When I said my foot.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Is slipping your unfailing love, the Lord supported me when
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: anxiety was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Rest on the word consolation for a moment. Consolation means comfort, compassion, relief,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and strength. Your consolation comes from the unfailing love of
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: God through Jesus Christ, his Son. I'm reminded of a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: beautiful passage of scripture that tells of a man named Simeon,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: who was led by the spirit to the temple on
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: the same day that Mary and Joseph brought the baby
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Jesus to be dedicated. You see, when long awaited the
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: birth of the Messiah, the consolation of Israel, and by
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the divine providence of God, his eyes beheld the new
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: born King. This is what Simeon said when he took
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Jesus in his arms. Lord, now you're letting your servant
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: depart in peace. According to your word. From my eyes
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the gentiles in the glory of your people, Israel. According
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: to the word of the Lord, Jesus came to be
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the consolation of Israel, a light to the gentiles, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the glory of his people. He is your consolation, your light,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: and your glory through comfort, compassion, relief, and strength. Jesus
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: casts all anxiety away and replaces it with perfect peace.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: There is no need to be anxious anymore. Every need
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: you have is covered in Jesus. He comforts you. He
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: offers compassion and relief from every worry. He strengthens you
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and leads you into the assurance that He has everything
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: under control. Release everything to Him. When anxiety was great
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: within me, your consolation brought me joy. Rest in the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: joy of the Lord. Feel his peace wash over you
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: like a healing balm. In him, you have received healing
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and renewal. The old things are gone and the new
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: has come. All anxieties are taken away and replaced by
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: God's consolation of peace. In Psalm one nineteen, we hear
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: these words, remember your promise to me and is my
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: only hope. Your promise revives me. It comforts me in
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: all my troubles. Remember God's promises.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: They are your hope.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: They comfort you in every trouble. He promises to uphold
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: you with his righteous right hand. He promises to love
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: you with an everlasting love. He promises to be with
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: you always, never leaving you or forsaking you. Rest deeply
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: in the promises of God tonight. Doubt cannot remain where
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: God's truth abides is cast out where God's peace resides.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Anxiety runs dry as God's presence fills, worries are calmed
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: as the Holy Spirit stills. Gracious God, please remember this
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: beloved listener tonight as they sleep soundly in your presence
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: and in your grace. Bless them as they rest in you,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Keep them in the fold of your unfailing love, and

  Speaker 2: guard them through every hour of the night. Thank you,

  Speaker 2: Lord for freeing this person of all anxiety. Right here,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: right now, we trust you to cast out all traces
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: of fretfulness and unrest. As this child sleeps to night,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I ask that you fill their dreams with reminders of
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: your promises, promises of your unfailing love and goodness. I
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: pray for restorative sleep that will help them wake up
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: in the morning, refreshed and renewed. Thank you God for
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: your comfort and peace.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: In Jesus name.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: When I said my foot is slipping, your unfailing love
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Lord supported me when anxiety was great within me. Your
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: consolation brought me joy. Sleep now and useful consolation of

  Speaker 2: joy and be free, free to live and unity with

  Speaker 2: our feet were slipping, either by our own choices or habits,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: or by life's circumstances of which we have no control.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: We've found ourselves slipping away and even falling a time
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: or two. If this describes you, please know that you're

  Speaker 2: revelation to the gentiles in the glory of your people, Israel.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: According to the word of the Lord, Jesus came to
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: be the consolation of Israel, a light to the gentiles
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: in the glory of his people. He is your consolation,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: your light, and your glory. Through comfort, compassion, relief and strength,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus casts all anxiety away and replaces it with perfect peace.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: There is no need to be anxious anymore. Every need
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: you have is covered in Jesus. He comforts you, He
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: offers compassion and relief from every worry. He strengthens you
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: and leads you into the assurance that He has everything
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: under control. Release everything to him. When anxiety was great
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: within me, your consolation brought me joy.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Rest in the joy of the Lord.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Feel his peace wash over you like a healing balm.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: In him, you have received healing and renewal. The old
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: things are gone and the new has come. All anxieties
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: are taken away and replaced by God's consolation of peace.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: In Psalm one nineteen, we hear these words, remember your
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: promise to me and is my only hope. Your promise
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: revives me. It comforts me in all my troubles. Remember
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: God's promises. They are your hope. They comfort you in
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: every trouble. He promises to uphold you with his righteous
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: right hand. He promises to love you with an everlasting love.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: He promises to be with you always, never leaving you
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: or forsaking you. Rest deeply in the promises of God tonight.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Doubt cannot remain where God's truth abides. Fear is cast
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: out where God's peace resides. Anxiety runs dry as God's
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: presence fills. Worries are calmed as the Holy Spirit stills.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Gracious God, please remember this beloved listener tonight as they
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: sleep soundly in your presence and in your grace. Bless
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: them as they rest in you, keep them in the
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: fold of your unfailing love, and guard them through every
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: hour of the night. Thank you, Lord for freeing this
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: person of all anxiety. Right here, right now. We trust
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: you to cast out all traces of fretfulness and unrest.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: As this child sleeps tonight, I ask that you fill
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: their dreams with reminders of your promises, promises of your
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: unfailing love and goodness. I pray for restorative sleep that
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: will help them wake up in the morning, refreshed and renewed.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you God for your comfort and peace.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: In Jesus name.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: When I said my foot is slipping, your unfailing love
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: Lord supported me when anxiety was great within me. Your
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: consolation brought me joy. Sleep now and the peaceful consolation
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: of joy and be free, free to live and unity
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: with the Lord. Safe, secure and surrounded by his unfailing love.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Amen, the God of the universe is protecting you and
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: taking care of you, like a loving shepherd watching his sheep.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: God will always provide for your every need. You have
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: no reason to worry. Long ago Jesus told his followers
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: do not be anxious about your life, what you will
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: eat or what you will drink, but seek first the
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Kingdom of God.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: And his righteousness.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: In today's story, will travel two thousand years back in
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: time to a Judaean hillside as Jesus talks to his
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: followers about worrying and about God's providence. As you prepare
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: for today's story, get comfortable. Let your head sink slowly
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: into the pillow. Stretch out your arms and legs, and
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: let your muscles relax. If something's not right, then simply
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: pause the Abide app and come back in a few moments. Finally,
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: choose your favorite background music on the app. If you
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: fall asleep during the story, that's okay. The app will
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: stop on its own. The God of Peace is protecting
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: you and providing for you. Lay your burdens before him,
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: rest and his promises. Join me as I pray for you.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: Dear Father, You are the creator of all that's good,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: of love, joy and peace. But too often, God, we
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: worry about the future. We don't have peace in our
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: lives because we're focused on what we don't know. Too often,
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: our eyes are not on you. Too often we're worried
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: and anxious. God, we lay our troubles before you.
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: Now help us.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: Trust you give us peace in the middle of trials
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: in our lives and troubles around the world. Grant this
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: child of yours a wonderful night's sleep and dreams about
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: your kingdom. It's in Jesus name that I pray. Amen,
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: as you keep your eyes closed, Imagine walking through the
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: countryside of Judea in the days of Christ. It's a
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: day far removed from our cluttered lives. There are no
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: cell phones, no computers, no video games, no cars.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: It's just you and God and his.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Creation, oh and a few hundred other followers of Jesus.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: You're one of those followers, but it doesn't seem crowded.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Every One around you is patient and happy and full
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: of cheer. It's as if they've waited all their lives
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: for this moment. It's as if their people have waited
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: centuries for this time and history. No one's in a rush,
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: no one is pushy. They're savoring every second. A mother
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: and her young son are in front of you, laughing.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: The boy, he appears to be about five, turns around
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: and gives you an innocent wave. You smile back. Near
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: them is a short gray haired, elderly woman. She asks
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: the question everyone else is thinking, Is he the Messiah?
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: No one answers, But you've heard enough stories about Jesus
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: healing the sick and giving sight to the blind that
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: you've already formed your opinion. He claims to be God's Son,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: and you believe it. At the head of the crowd
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: is Jesus himself, surrounded by Peter, James, and John and
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: the other disciples. He's led his followers to an area
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: near the Sea of Galilee. It's a beautiful day and
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: you're enjoying the walk. It's warm and mostly sunny, with
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: only a few white, wispy clouds high overhead. They're moving
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: ever so slowly across the sky, as if they too
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: are hanging around and watching Jesus, wanting a glimpse.
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: Of the Messiah.
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: The warm sunshine massages your skin, and a cool breeze
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: off the Sea of Galilee ensures you don't get too hot.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: The breeze carries with it a dozen earthy aromas, water
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: and dirt and fresh water, fish, and even the unmistakable
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: scent of wildflowers from the nearby shore. To your right,
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: you spot two fishermen in a small sailboat pulling their
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: net up from the sea of Galilee. They've caught perhaps
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: a dozen fish today, and you watch as they carefully
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: pluck each one from the webbing. Suddenly, one of the
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: fishmen looks in your general direction and motions to his friend,
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: who looks your way to You quickly realize that not
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: looking at you, but at Jesus. Both men rush to
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: the back of the boat and grab their paddles. They
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: hurriedly place them just under the surface of the water
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: and begin rowing to shore. They're wanting to see Jesus,
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: and if they hurry, they will.
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: Up.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Ahead on your path, you spot a squirrel searching for
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: food within the rocks. It's cleaning its face, oblivious to
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: the crowd around it. You hear a joyful child's voice
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: commenting on the squirrel's bushy tail and furry ears. All
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, the squirrel dashes away from you and
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: toward the front of the crowd. Perhaps it's chasing an insect,
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: or maybe it's just like those fishermen, and it wants
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: to see Jesus too. A few minutes have passed and
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: Jesus has led everyone to a hill overlooking the sea.
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: Of Galilee. It's filled with large and small boulders alike,
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: with green grass growing everywhere else. Please gather around, he
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: tells the crowd. He's sitting half way up the hill
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: on a large flat rock underneath a tall juniper tree.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: The hill is spacious enough to give everyone plenty of room.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: Just as important, it's quiet enough so that anyone in
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: the crowd can hear.
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: You.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: Find a small boulder to sit on to listen to Jesus.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: He's about seven long steps directly in front of you.
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: Although the twelve Disciples are the closest to Jesus. Peter
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: is sitting on a rock to your right. He's laughing
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: and talking to Andrew, his brother. Jesus is patient. As
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: everyone continues to find a place to sit, an older
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: woman sits down to your left in an empty spot
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: of green grass. She appears to be in her sixties,
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: and she begins chatting her husband. She tells you is
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: a farmer. Things have been tight lately during the drought.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Her brow is filled with wrinkles. She looks anxious. It
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: hasn't rained in days. She says, I'm worried. She asks
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: you if you think Jesus is the Messiah, you smile
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: at her and give an approving nod. A hush quickly
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: falls over the crowd. Jesus is speaking. Blessed are the
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: poor in spirit, he says, for theirs is the kingdom
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: for they shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart,
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are you
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: when others revile you and persecute you, and utter all
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: kinds of evil against you falsely on my account, Rejoice
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven,
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: You are the salt of the earth. But if salt
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: It is no longer good for anything, except to be
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: light of the world. A city set on a hill
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: put it under a basket, but on a stand, and
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: it gives light to all in the house. In the
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: same way, let your light shine before others, so that
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: they may see your good works and give glory to
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: your Father, who is in heaven. Jesus has been speaking
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: for about fifteen minutes. You're struck by his calm demeanor,
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: his knowledge of scripture, his love for the people Above all.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: You're struck by his wisdom. He's unlike any rabbi you've seen.
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: His words seem as if they're straight from God himself.
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: Your mind begins drifting as you think about Jesus' role
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: in your life. A thousand questions swirl in your head.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: If Jesus is the Messiah, then what does that mean
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: for your future? What does it mean for your people?
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Is he the answer to every problem in your life?
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: Is he God? Suddenly Jesus looks straight at you, smiles.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: He continues preaching, But you think to yourself, was he
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: reading my mind? Did he know what I was thinking?
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: Whatever the case, you continue listening. No one can serve
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: two masters Jesus says, for you will hate one and
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: love the other. You will be devoted to one and
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: That is why I tell you not to worry about
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: everyday life, whether you have enough food and drink or
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food and
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: your body more than clothing. Look at the birds, he says,
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: putting to a few sparrows on the tree limbs above him.
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: It don't plant or harvest or store food and barns
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: more valuable to him than they are? And all your
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: worries at a single moment to your life? And why
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: worry about your clothing? How they grow? Jesus says, pointing
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: to the valley below. They don't work or make their clothing.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not dressed as
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: for wild flowers that are here today and thrown into
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: the fire tomorrow, you will certainly care for you. Why
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: do you have so little faith? So don't worry about
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: these things, saying what will we eat?
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: What will we drink? What will we wear?
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But your heavenly
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: God above all else, and live righteously, and he will
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow,
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: for to morrow will bring its own worries. To day's
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: trouble is enough for to day. An hour has passed,
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: Jesus has finished preaching. He and his disciples are huddled
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: together further up the hill, about twenty paces from you.
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: Straight ahead.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: Some of jesus followers have walked back to their villages. Others, though,
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: are still gathered on the hill side in groups of
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: two or three, discussing this sermon on the mountain. The
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: elderly woman who sat to your left is one of
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: those who has hung around. She's smiling now. Her demeanor
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: has radically changed. She's no longer worrying. She approaches you
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: with tears of joy and shouts, the Lord will provide,
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: The Lord will take care of us. She points to
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: the western horizon. A storm is building, A cool wind
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: is blowing your direction. Much needed rain is on the way.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: You look up at Jesus and his followers who are
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: also looking at the growing storm. He briefly glances down
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: at you and smiles. Tears of joy stream down your
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: face as you recall Jesus' words.
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: Look at the birds.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: They don't plant or harvest or store food and barns,
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: more valuable to him than they are? Can all your
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: worries at a single moment to your life? And why
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: field and how they grow it don't work or make
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: their clothing. Yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: so wonderfully for wild flowers that are here to day
• 54:08
  Speaker 4: and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: for you. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else,
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: As we transition back to the present day, let's meditate
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: on Jesus promise to his followers. As you relax and
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: fall asleep, listen again to the words of Christ. I
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: will pray for you throughout the passage. Remember, God will
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: provide for your every need, Jesus said, do not worry
• 54:48
  Speaker 4: about every day life whether you have enough food and
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: drink or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: food in your body more than clothing. Look at the birds.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: They don't plant or harvest or store food and barns.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: For your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: more valuable to him than they are? Can all your
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: worries at a single moment to your life? And why
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: worry about your clothing?
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: Let me pray for you. Father.
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: Your word tells us that we are more important than
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: the birds of the air. Genesis even says we are
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: the pinnacle of creation. That's because we are made in
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: your image. You sent your son to earth to die
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: for the sins of humanity. We affirm your word. I
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: pray for peace for this child of God. As they
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: fall asleep, Jesus said, look at the lilies of the
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: field and how they grow. They don't work or make
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: their clothing. Yet Solomon, in all his glory, not dressed
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: wonderfully for wild flowers that are here today and thrown
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: Why do you have so little faith? So don't worry
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: about these things, saying what will we eat? What will
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: we drink? What will we wear? These things dominate the
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: thoughts of unbelievers. But your heavenly Father already knows all
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: your needs. Father, God, we know you care for your creation.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: You are the master artist. The birds of the air,
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: and the lilies of the field, and the colorful wildflowers,
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: they're all just a small part of your masterpiece. They
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: don't plant or harvest or restore food, and yet you take.
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: Care of them.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: They're never worried or anxious, and yet you always provide
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: for them. Your word tells us you already know our
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: every need. We praise you for who you are, promise,
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: keeper and provider.
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: We love you.
• 57:17
  Speaker 4: Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously,
• 57:23
  Speaker 4: and he will give you everything you need. So don't
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: Today's trouble is enough for today.
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: Father.
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: We lay our burdens before you, and we thank you
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: for everything you have given us. I ask that you
• 57:44
  Speaker 4: will grant this child of yours a wonderful night's sleep
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: and pleasant dreams. It's in Christ's name that I pray. Amen,
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: listen once again to the comforting words of Jesus, the
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: creator of the universe and the provider of everything you need.
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: That is why I tell you not to worry about
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: everyday life, whether you have enough food and drink or
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food and
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: your body more than clothing.
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: Look at the birds.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: They don't plant or harvest or store food and barns
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: more valuable to him than they are. Can all your
• 58:34
  Speaker 4: worries at a single moment to your life? And why
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: field and how they grow. They don't work or make
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: their clothing. Yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: Why do you have so little faith? So don't worry
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: about these things? Saying what will we eat, what will
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: we drink? What will we wear? These things dominate the
• 59:16
  Speaker 4: thoughts of unbelievers. But your heavenly Father already knows all
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else,
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring his
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today. The Savior
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: of the universe is watching over you. He's protecting you.
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: He'll provide for your every need. You have no reason
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: to worry. He's taken care of you in the past,
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: and he'll take care of you in the future. You
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: are far more important to God than the birds of
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: the air or the lilies of the field. You are
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: a child of the Living God, just as a loving
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 4: mother or father takes care of a helpless infant. God
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 4: will take care of you. Trust in his promises, rest
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: and his peace. Let me pray for you, Dear Father.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: Your word tells us that when we seek your kingdom first,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: you will give us everything we need.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 5: Father.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: We are seeking your kingdom. We want to know you more,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: We want to abide in your presence. I ask that
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: you will grant this precious child of yours pleasant dreams
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 4: and a peaceful night's sleep. Help them to wake up, refreshed,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: ready to serve you another day. It's in Jesus name
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 4: that I'm pray.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 4: The God of the universe is protecting you and taking
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: care of you, like a loving shepherd watching his sheep.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 4: God will always provide for your every need. You have
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: no reason to worry. Long ago, Jesus told his followers,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 4: do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: or what you will drink, but seek first the Kingdom
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: of God and his righteousness. In today's story, will travel
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: two thousand years back in time to a Judayan hillside
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 4: as Jesus talks to his followers about worrying and about
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: God's providence. As you prepare for today's story, get comfortable.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: Let your head sinks slowly into the pillow. Stretch out
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: your arms and legs, and let your muscles relax. If
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 4: something's not right, then simply pause the Abide app and come.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: Back in a few moments.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: Finally, choose your favorite background of music on the app.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: If you fall asleep during the story, that's okay. The
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: app will stop on its own. The God of Peace
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: is protecting you and providing for you. Lay your burdens
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 4: before him. Rest and his promises. Join me as I
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: pray for you. Dear Father, You are the creator of
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: all that's good, of love, joy and peace. But too often, God,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: we worry about the future. We don't have peace in
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 4: our lives because we're focused on what we don't know.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: Too often our eyes are not on you. Too often
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: we're worried and anxious. God, we lay our troubles before you.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 4: Now help us trust you, give us peace in the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: middle of trials in our lives and troubles around the world.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: Grant this child of yours a wonderful night's sleep and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 4: dreams about your kingdom. It's in Jesus name that I pray. Amen,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 4: as you keep your eyes closed. Imagine walking through the
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: country side of Judea in the days of Christ. It's
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: a day far removed from our cluttered lives. There are
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: no cell phones, no computers, no video games, no cars.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 5: It's just you and God and his.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: Creation, oh and a few hundred other followers of Jesus.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: You're one of those followers, but it doesn't seem crowded.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: Everyone around you is patient and happy and full of cheer.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 4: It's as if they've waited all their lives for this moment.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 4: It's as if their people have waited centuries for this
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: time and history. No one's in a rush, no one
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: is pushy. They're savoring every second. A mother and her
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: young son are in front of you, laughing. The boy,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 4: he appears to be about five, turns around and gives
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 4: you an innocent wave. You smile back. Near them is
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: a short, gray haired, elderly woman. She asks the question
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: everyone else is thinking, Is he the Messiah? No one answers,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 4: but you've heard enough stories about Jesus healing the sick
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 4: and giving sight to the blind that you've already formed
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 4: your opinion. He claims to be God's Son, and you
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 4: believe it. At the head of the crowd is Jesus himself,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 4: surrounded by Peter, James, and John and the other disciples.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 4: He's led his followers to an area near the Sea
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: of Galilee. It's a beautiful day and you're enjoying the walk.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: It's warm and mostly sunny, with only a few white,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 4: wispy clouds high overhead. They're moving ever so slowly across
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: the sky, as if they too are hanging around and
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: watching Jesus, wanting a glimpse of the Messiah. The warm
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 4: sunshine massages your skin, and a cool breeze off the
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 4: Sea of Galilee ensures you don't get too hot. The
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: breeze carries with it a dozen earthy aromas, water and dirt,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: and fresh water fish, and even the unmistakable scent of
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: wildflowers from the nearby shore. To your right, you spot
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: two fishermen in a small sailboat pulling their net up
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: from the Sea of Galley. They've caught perhaps a dozen
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: fish today, and you watch as they carefully pluck each
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: one from the webbing. Suddenly, one of the fishmen looks
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 4: in your general direction and motions to his friend, who
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: looks your way. To you quickly realize that they're not
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: looking at you, but at Jesus. Both men rush to
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 4: the back of the boat and grab their paddles. They
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: hurriedly place them just under the surface of the water
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 4: and begin rowing to shore. They're wanting to see Jesus,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: and if they hurry, they will.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: Up.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: Ahead on your path, you spot a squirrel searching for
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: food within the rocks. It's cleaning its face, oblivious to
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: the crowd around it. You hear a joyful child's voice
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 4: commenting on the squirrel's bushy tail and furry ears. All
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: of a sudden, the squirrel dashes away from you and
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: toward the front of the crowd. Perhaps it's chasing an insect,
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: or maybe it's just like those fishermen and it wants
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: to see Jesus too. A few minutes have passed and
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: Jesus has led everyone to a hill overlooking the Sea
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 4: of Galilee. It's filled with large and small boulders alike,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: with green grass growing everywhere else. Please gather around, he
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: tells the crowd. He's sitting halfway up the hill on
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 4: a large flat rock underneath a tall juniper tree. The
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: hill is spacious enough to give everyone plenty of room.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 4: Just as important, it's quiet enough so that anyone in
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: the crowd can hear you find a small boulder to
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: sit on to listen to Jesus. He's about seven long
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: steps directly in front of you, although the twelve Disciples
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: are the closest to you Jesus Peter is sitting on
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 4: a rock to your right. He's laughing and talking to Andrew,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: his brother. Jesus is patient. As everyone continues to find
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: a place to sit, an older woman sits down to
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: your left in an empty spot of green grass. She
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: appears to be in her sixties, and she begins chatting
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 4: her husband. She tells you is a farmer. Things have
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: been tight lately during the drought. Her brow is filled
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 4: with wrinkles. She looks anxious. It hasn't rained in days.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 4: She says, I'm worried. She asks you, if you think
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 4: Jesus is the Messiah, you smile at her and give
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: an approving nod. A hush quickly falls over the crowd.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: Jesus is speaking. Blessed are the poor in spirit, he says,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek,
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 4: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 4: hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 4: Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 4: are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 4: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 4: of God. Blessed are you when others revile you and
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 4: persecute you, and utter all kinds of evil against you
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 4: falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: prophets who were before you. You are the salt of
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: the earth. But if salt has lost its taste, how
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 4: shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: people's feet. You are the light of the world. A
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: people light a lamp and put it under a basket,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: but on a stand, and it gives light to all
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: in the house. In the same way, let your light
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: shine before others, so that they may see your good
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: works and give glory to your father, who is in heaven.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: Jesus has been speaking for about fifteen minutes. You're struck
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: by his calm demeanor, his knowledge of scripture, his love
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: for the people. Above all, you're struck by his wisdom.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: He's unlike any rabbi you've seen. His words seem as
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: if they're straight from God himself. Your mind begins drifting
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: as you think about Jesus' role in your life. A
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 4: thousand questions swirl in your head. If Jesus is the Messiah?
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: Then what does that mean for your future? What does
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: it mean for your people? Is he the answer to
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: every problem in your life? Is he God? Suddenly Jesus
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 4: looks straight at you and smiles. He continues preaching. But
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: you think to yourself, was he reading my mind? Did
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 4: he know what I was thinking? Whatever the case, you
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 4: continue listening. No one can serve two masters, Jesus says,
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: for you will hate one and love the other. You
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 4: will be devoted to one and despise the other. You
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 4: cannot serve both God and money. That is why I
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: tell you not to worry about everyday life whether you
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 4: have enough food and drink or enough clothes to wear.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: Isn't life more than food and your body more than clothing.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: Look at the birds, he says, putting to a few
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: sparrows on the tree limbs above him. It don't plant
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: him than they are? Can all your worries at a
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing?
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 4: How they grow? Jesus says, pointing to the valley below.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: They don't work or make their clothing. Yet Solomon, in
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 4: all his glory, was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 4: And if God cares so wonderfully for wild flowers that
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: will certainly care for you. Why do you have so
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: little faith? So don't worry about these things, saying what
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: will we eat, what will we drink, what will we wear?
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But your heavenly
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 4: God above all else, and live righteously, and he will
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 4: for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 4: enough for today. An hour has passed, Jesus has finished preaching.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: He and his disciples are huddled together further up the hill,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: about twenty paces from you.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 5: Straight ahead.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: Some of jesus followers have walked back to their villages. Others, though,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 4: are still gathered on the hillside and groups of two
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: or three discussing this sermon on the mountain. The elderly
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: woman who sat to your left is one of those
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: who has hung around. She's smiling now. Her demeanor has
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: radically changed. She's no longer worrying. She approaches you with
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: tears of joy and shouts, the Lord will provide, The
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: Lord will take care of us. She points to the
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 4: western horizon. A storm is building, A cool wind is
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: blowing your direction. Much needed rain is on the way.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: You look up at Jesus and his followers, who are
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 4: also looking at the growing storm. He briefly glances down
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: at you and smiles. Tears of joy streaming down your
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: face as you recall jesus words.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 5: Look at the birds.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: They don't plant or harvest or store food and barns
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: more valuable to him than they are? Can all your
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: worries out a single moment to your life? And why
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: field and how they grow it. Don't work or make
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 4: their clothing. Yet, Solomon, in all his glory, was not
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: so wonderfully for wild flowers that are here today and
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 4: thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 4: you seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 4: live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: As we transition back to the present day, let's meditate
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 4: on Jesus promise to his followers. As you relax and
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 4: fall asleep, listen again to the words of Christ. I
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 4: will pray for you throughout the passage. Remember God will
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 4: provide for your every need. Jesus said, do not worry
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 4: about every day life, whether you have enough food and
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: drink or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: food in your body more than clothing.
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 5: Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: Store food and barns for your heavenly Father feeds them.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: Can all your worries at a single moment to your life?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: And why worry about your clothing? Let me pray for you.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 5: Father.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: Your word tells us that we are more important than
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: the birds of the air. Genesis even says we are
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 4: the pinnacle of creation. That's because we are made in
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: your image. You sent your son to earth to die
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 4: for the sins of humanity. We affirm your word. I
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: pray for peace for this child of God. As they
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: fall asleep, Jesus said, look at the lilies of the
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: field and how they grow.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 5: They don't work or make their clothing.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 4: Yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not dressed as
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 4: beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 4: for wild flowers that are here today and thrown into
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 4: the fire tomorrow, you will certainly care for you.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 5: Why do you have so little faith?
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: So don't worry about these things, saying what will we eat,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: what will we drink?
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 5: What will we wear?
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 4: These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But your heavenly
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 4: father already knows all your needs. Father God, we know
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 4: you care for your creation. You are the master artist.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 4: The birds of the air, and the lilies of the field,
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 4: and the colorful wildflowers, they're all just a small part
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 4: of your masterpiece. They don't plant or harvest or restore food,
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 4: and yet you take care of them. They're never worried
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: or anxious, and yet you always provide for them. Your
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 4: word tells us you already know our every need. We
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: praise you for who you are, promise, keeper and provider.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 5: We love you.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: Seek the Kingdom of God above all else. And live righteously,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: and he will give you everything you need. So don't
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: Today's trouble is enough for today. Father, we lay our
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: burdens before you, and we thank you for everything.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 5: You have given us.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 4: I ask that you will grant this child of yours
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: a wonderful night's sleep and pleasant dreams. It's in Christ's
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: name that I pray. Amen, listen once again to the
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: comforting words of Jesus, the creator of the universe and
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 4: the provider of everything you need. That is why I
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: tell you not to worry about everyday life, whether you
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: have enough food and drink or enough clothes to wear.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: Isn't life more than food and your body more than clothing.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: Look at the birds.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: They don't plant or harvest or store food and barns,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 4: for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: more valuable to him than they are? Can all your
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: worries at a single moment to your life? And why
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 4: worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 4: field and how they grow. They don't work or make
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 4: their clothing. Yet Solomon, in all his glory, was not
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: so wonderfully for wild flowers that are here today and
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you.
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 4: Why do you have so little faith? So don't worry
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 4: about these things, saying what will we eat, what will
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: we drink?
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: What will we wear?
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 4: These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But your heavenly
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: Father already knows.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 5: All your needs.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 4: Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: and He will give you everything you need. So don't
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring his own worries.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: Today's trouble is enough for to time. The Savior of
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 4: the universe is watching over you. He's protecting you. He'll
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 4: provide for your every need. You have no reason to worry.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: He's taken care of you in the past, and he'll
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: take care of you in the future. You are far
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: more important to God than the birds of the air
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: or the lilies of the field. You are a child
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: of the living God. Just as a loving mother or
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: father takes care of a helpless infant, God will take
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: care of you. Trust in his promises, rest and his peace.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 4: Let me pray for you, dear Father. Your word tells
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 4: us that when we seek your kingdom first, you will
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 4: give us everything we need. Father, we are seeking your kingdom.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 4: We want to know you more. We want to abide
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 4: in your presence. I asked that you will grant this
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 4: precious child of yours pleasant dreams and a peaceful night's sleep.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: Help them to wake up refreshed, ready to serve you
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 4: another day. It's in Jesus' name that I pray.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 6: Amen inhale and exhale, allowing yourself to fully relax. Feel
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 6: every muscle unwind, Feel the crease in your forehead, relax,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 6: and your jaw loosen. Feel the turning of your thoughts
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 6: come to a halt as the gears of a machine
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 6: slow down and eventually come to a full stop. Allow
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 6: your mind to slow down, gear by gear until all
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 6: of your thoughts are fully settled in the Lord. Rest
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 6: peacefully in the stillness of God's presence. Feel the Holy Spirit,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 6: drawing your attention to the things of God, to the
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 6: wonders of his love, to his mercy, to his peace.
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 6: Breathe in and let it out. Feel the steady beat
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 6: of your heart aligning with a heartbeat of God. He
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 6: is with you, He loves you. Holy God. We come
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: to you in search of peace and soundness of mind.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 6: We are weary of overthinking things. We are worn out
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 6: from negative thoughts circling around and around. We are tired
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 6: of stressing about things we cannot control. Oh how we
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 6: need your calm presence and spirit of peace. Lord, Please
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 6: touch the mind of this listener tonight and break the
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 6: cycle of overthinking. As a weak chain is pulled apart
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 6: with ease. Please set them free from unwanted thought patterns.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 6: Turn their hearts and minds toward You, your word, your will,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 6: your way. These are the things we think of tonight
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 6: as we find rest in your li holy presence. Thank
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 6: you God in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Now
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 6: take one more deep breath in and let it out.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 6: Think only of Jesus, whisper his name, Jesus. Feel the
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 6: turning of your mind. Come to a safe, resting place
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 6: of tranquility, calmness, and ease. It is time to be
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 6: delivered from constant thinking. God is your deliverer. Rest in
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 6: that truth for a few moments. Overthinking is a human
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 6: tended to dwell on the past, fixate on the present
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 6: or worry about the future. But these thoughts do not
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 6: deserve our time and attention. Overthinking can make us feel
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 6: as though we are being pulled into a spiral of
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 6: mental activity without any way to stop it. Perhaps you
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 6: know exactly what I'm talking about, But don't worry. There
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 6: is a clear, peaceful solution to these destructive thought habits.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 6: All it requires is to follow the words of Paul
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 6: to the Corinthians when he said, take captive every thought
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 6: and make it obedient to Christ. Please let me repeat that,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 6: Imagine yourself with a large net that easily captures every
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 6: wayward thought that enters your mind. With a quick swoosh
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 6: of the net, you capture all negative thoughts before they
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: get stuck in a cycle of overthinking. As you catch them,
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 6: you're able to evaluate them and determine if they are
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 6: worth your time and attention. Ultimately, you're able to bring
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 6: your thoughts into obedience to the Lord. You are able
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 6: to release them to him. Catch and release every thought
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 6: captive to Christ Jesus. As you release every thought in
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 6: obedience to the Lord, ask him to replace your thoughts
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 6: with whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 6: whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, and
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 6: whatever is worthy of praise. Think about these things, Lord Jesus,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 6: help this beloved child finally be free from overthinking. Deliver
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 6: them as only you can, set them free from endless
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 6: cycles of negative thinking and dwelling on things that aren't honorable.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: Settle their minds on truthfulness, loveliness, and holiness in your name, Amen.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 6: Being free from overthinking requires the simple practice of mindfully
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 6: stepping down from the treadmill of revolving thoughts and getting
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 6: in step with the Holy Spirit. Take God's hand as
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 6: he leads you out of negative thinking and into a
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 6: peaceful state of mind. With him, you find sanctuary from
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 6: everything going on around you. You are completely safe, secure
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 6: and shielded from unwonted thoughts. Rest in the sanctuary of
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 6: His love. It's going to be all right. The Lord
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 6: knows all about what troubles you. He knows your thoughts
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 6: from afar. There is peace here tonight. Be still in
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 6: God's presence. Let his words of comfort wash over you,
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 6: replacing every turning thought. Be transformed by the renewal of
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 6: your mind. Set your minds on things above. Set your
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 6: mind on the Spirit who is life and peace. Do
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 6: not be anxious about anything. Let not your hearts be troubled.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 6: There is no need to be troubled, no need to
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 6: think about things from the past, no need to replay
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 6: things in your mind. Your Savior wants your mind to
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 6: be set on him, on the wonderful things he has
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 6: done for you, and the wonderful things he has yet
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 6: to do. He alone has done great things. Recall his
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 6: favor on your life. Recount his promises spoken over you.
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 6: Renew your mind on his purpose. For his glory and
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 6: your Good Lord God, in the presence of your holiness
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 6: and peace, help this listener find rest tonight. Please Lord,
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 6: calm their mind, hush their soul, and ease the troubles
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 6: of their heart. In the name of your son Jesus,
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 6: I pray for complete deliverance from overthinking. I pray for
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: you to halt the constant activity in their mind and
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 6: help them settle on one thing.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 5: Only.
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 6: Your presence, For it is in your presence we find
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 6: true rest. As you said to Moses, my presence will
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 6: go with you, and I will give you rest. Thank
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: you God for being with this beloved child. Tonight, thank
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: you for drawing their attention to you and away from
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 6: restless thoughts. In you, they find serenity, stillness, and peace
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 6: of mind. Be with them Lord through every hour in
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 6: Jesus' holy name.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 6: For so long you've wanted to be delivered from overthinking,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 6: from dwelling on negative things, from replaining conversations in your mind,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 6: and from being fixated on certain situations. Now is the
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 6: time for deliverance. As John eight thirty two says, you
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 6: will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: There is freedom in the truth of God. Allow the
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: Holy Spirit to pattern your thoughts on Jesus, the way
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 6: the truth and the life come to the Father. Through
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 6: Jesus his son. Be set free from toxic thought patterns. Tonight.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 6: Remember John sixteen thirteen that says when the Spirit of
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 6: truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 6: For he will not speak on his own authority, but
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 6: whatever he hears, he will speak. Hear him now words
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 6: of truth and peace, thoughts of clarity and assurance. Holy God,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 6: we hear you now speaking words of truth and life
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 6: into our souls. All other thoughts are fading away as
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 6: your spirit fills us with divine words of faith and trust.
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 6: Please help this listener to hear you tonight. Help them
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 6: hear your still small voice of comfort that says, I
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 6: am with you. There is no need to think about
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 6: those things anymore. Release them to me and find deliverance.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 6: The transformative power of God's love casts out all fear.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 6: You can trust him in all things. Be still and
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 6: know that he is God. Trials may last through the night,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 6: but his love endures forever. Cast all your cares upon him.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 6: He cares deeply for you. He is your protector, deliverer,
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 6: and vindicator. Simply rest in God's goodness. You belong to him.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 6: You do not belong to your thoughts or to this world.
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 6: You belong to your Father in Heaven, who is the
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 6: wonderful counselor and mighty God. Like an eagle that hovers
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 6: over its young, so the Lord spreads out his wings
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: over you. Allow yourself to drift into a deep, restorative sleep,
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 6: knowing you are safe under the shelter of God's wings.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: Heavenly Father, please grant this beloved child a very real
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 6: sense of your presence so they can release overthinking to you.
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 6: I pray that you would pleasantly fill this child of
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 6: yours with so much peace that every anxiety, stress, and
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 6: worry will be replaced with thoughts that are lovely, pure
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 6: and good. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 6: will guard your hearts and your minds. In Christ Jesus,
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 6: Set your hope fully on the grace that will be
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 6: brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Peace
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 6: of God, beyond understanding, guard our hearts and minds. Turn
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 6: our hope to You, Lord, each and every time, every
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 6: thought captured in the net of your grace, released into
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 6: your care, never ours to embrace, delivered from the burden
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 6: of dwelling on hurtful past, delivered into your truth for eternity.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 6: It will last, Lord, God, our might deliverer work as
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: only you can in the life of this dear child. Tonight,
• 1:38:08
  Speaker 6: as they sleep, cleanse their minds from every thought that
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 6: isn't from you. Help them awake in the morning, renewed
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 6: by your spirit with a clear mind to discern every thought.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 6: Give them a sense of purpose to live with intentionality,
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 6: focusing on your will for their life. Teach them how
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 6: to take every thought captive in obedience to Your Son.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 6: Help them make it such a practice that all overthinking
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 6: will become a thing of the past. Be with them tonight,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 6: every minute of every hour, in Jesus' name. Amen, Tonight,
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: we will seek God for deliverance from overthinking. As King
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: David once said, you Lord, perceive my thoughts from afar,
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 6: Search me and know my heart, Test me and know
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 6: my anxious thoughts. Let's seek the Lord together, asking him
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 6: to test our anxious thoughts, every single one of them,
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 6: and deliver us from the negative cycle of overthinking. But
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 6: before we get started, please make yourself comfortable. Settle your
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 6: head on the pillow, pull the soft covers around you,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 6: and breathe Inhale and exhale, allowing yourself to fully relax.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 6: Feel every muscle unwind, Feel the crease in your forehead relax,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 6: and your jaw loosen. Feel the turning of your thoughts
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 6: come to a halt as the gears of a machine
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 6: slow down and eventually come to a full stop. Allow
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 6: your mind to slow down, gear by gear until all
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 6: of your thoughts are fully settled in the Lord. Rest
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 6: peacefully in the stillness of God's presence. Feel the Holy
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 6: Spirit drawing your attention to the things of God, to
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 6: the wonders of his love, to his mercy, to his peace.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 6: Breathe in and let it out. Feel the steady beat
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 6: of your heart aligning with a heartbeat of God. He
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 6: is with you, He loves you, Holy God. We come
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 6: to you in search of peace and soundness of mind.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 6: We are weary of overthinking things. We are worn out
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 6: from negative thoughts circling around and around. We are tired
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 6: of stressing about things we cannot control. Oh how we
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 6: need your calm presence and spirit of peace. Lord, Please
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 6: touch the mind of this listener tonight and break the
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 6: cycle of overthinking as a weak chain is pulled apart
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 6: with ease. Please set them free from unwanted thought patterns.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 6: Turn their hearts and minds toward You, your word, your will,
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 6: your way. These are the things we think of tonight
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 6: as we find rest in your holy presence. Thank you
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 6: God in the precious name of Jesus. Amen. Now take
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 6: one more deep breath in and let it out. Think
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 6: only of Jesus, whisper his name Jesus. Feel the turning
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 6: of your mind. Come to a safe, resting place of tranquility, calmness,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 6: and ease. It is time to be delivered from constant thinking.
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 6: God is your deliverer. Rest in that truth for a
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 6: few moments. Overthinking is a human tendency to dwell on
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 6: the past, fixate on the present, or worry about the future.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 6: But these thoughts do not deserve our time and attention.
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 6: Overthinking can make us feel as though we are being
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 6: pulled into a spiral of mental activity without any way
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 6: to stop it. Perhaps you know exactly what I'm talking about,
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 6: but don't worry. There is a clear, peaceful solution to
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 6: these destructive thought habits. All it requires is to follow
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 6: the words of Paul to the Corinthians when he said,
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 6: take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ.
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 6: Please let me repeat that, take captive every thought and
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 6: make it obedient to Christ. Imagine yourself with a large
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 6: net that easily captures every wayward thought that enters your mind.
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 6: With a quick swoosh of the net, you capture all
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 6: negative thoughts before they get stuck in a cycle of overthinking.
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 6: As you catch them, you're able to evaluate them and
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 6: determine if they are worth your time and attention. Ultimately,
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 6: you're able to bring your thoughts into obedience to the Lord.
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 6: You are able to release them to him. Catch and
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 6: release every thought captive to Christ Jesus. As you release
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 6: every thought in obedience to the Lord, ask him to
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 6: replace your thoughts with whatever is true, whatever is honorable,
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 6: whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 6: is commendable, and whatever is worthy of praise. Think about
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 6: these things, Lord Jesus, help this belaf loved child finally
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 6: be free from overthinking. Deliver them as only you can
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 6: set them free from endless cycles of negative thinking and
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 6: dwelling on things that aren't honorable. Settle their minds on truthfulness, loveliness,
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 6: and holiness in your name, Amen. Being free from overthinking
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 6: requires the simple practice of mindfully stepping down from the
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 6: treadmill of revolving thoughts and getting in step with the
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 6: Holy Spirit. Take God's hand as he leads you out
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 6: of negative thinking and into a peaceful state of mind.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 6: With him, you find sanctuary from everything going on around you.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 6: You are completely safe, secure and shielded from unwonted thoughts.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 6: Rest in the sanctuary of His love. It's going to
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 6: be all right. The Lord knows all about what troubles you.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 6: He knows your thoughts. From afar, there is peace here tonight,
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 6: be still in God's presence. Let his words of comfort
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 6: wash over you, replacing every turning thought, be transformed by
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 6: the renewal of your mind. Set your minds on things above.
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 6: Set your mind on the Spirit who is life and peace.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 6: Do not be anxious about anything. Let not your hearts
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 6: be troubled. There is no need to be troubled, no
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 6: need to think about things from the past, no need
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 6: to replay things in your mind. Your Savior wants your
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 6: mind to be set on him, on the wonderful things
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 6: he has done for you, and the wonderful things he
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 6: has yet to do. He alone has done great things.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 6: Recall his favor on your life. Recount his promises spoken
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 6: over you. Renew your mind on his purpose for his
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 6: glory and Your Good Lord God, in the presence of
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 6: your holiness and peace, help this listener find rest tonight.
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 6: Please Lord, calm their mind, hush their soul, and ease
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 6: the troubles of their heart. In the name of your
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 6: Son Jesus, I pray for complete deliverance from overthinking. I
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 6: pray for you to halt the constant activity in their
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 6: mind and help them settle on one thing, only Your presence,
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 6: For it is in your presence we find true rest.
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 6: As you said to Moses, my presence will go with
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 6: you and I will give you rest. Thank you God
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 6: for being with this beloved child tonight. Thank you for
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 6: drawing their attention to you and away from restless thoughts.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 5: In you.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 6: They find serenity, stillness, and peace of mind. Be with
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 6: them Lord through every hour in Jesus' holy name.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 6: For so long you've wanted to be delivered from overthinking,
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 6: from dwelling on negative things, from replaying conversations in your mind,
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 6: and from being fixated on certain situations. Now is the
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 6: time for deliverance. As John eight thirty two says, you
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 6: will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 6: There is freedom in the truth, truth of God. Allow
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 6: the Holy Spirit to pattern your thoughts on Jesus, the
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 6: way the truth and the life come to the Father.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 6: Through Jesus his son. Be set free from toxic thought patterns. Tonight.
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 6: Remember John sixteen thirteen that says when the Spirit of
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 6: truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth.
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 6: For he will not speak on his own authority, but
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 6: whatever he hears he will speak. Hear him now, words
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 6: of truth, and peace, thoughts of clarity and assurance. Holy God,
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 6: we hear you now speaking words of truth and life
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 6: into our souls. All other thoughts are fading away as
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 6: your spirit fills us with divine words of faith and trust.
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 6: Please help this listener to hear you tonight. Help them
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 6: hear your still small voice of comfort that says, I
• 1:52:25
  Speaker 6: am with you. There is no need to think about
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 6: those things anymore. Release them to me and find deliverance.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 6: The transformative power of God's love casts out all fear.
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 6: You can trust him in all things. Be still and
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 6: know that he is God. Trials may last through the night,
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 6: but his love endures. For cast all your cares upon him.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 6: He cares deeply for you. He is your protector, deliverer,
• 1:53:14
  Speaker 6: and vindicator. Simply rest in God's goodness. You belong to him.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 6: You do not belong to your thoughts or to this world.
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 6: You belong to your Father in Heaven, who is the
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 6: wonderful counselor and mighty God. Like an eagle that hovers
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 6: over its young, so the Lord spreads out his wings
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 6: over you. Allow yourself to drift into a deep, restorative sleep,
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 6: knowing you are safe under the shelter of God's wings.
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 6: Heavenly Father, please grant this beloved child a very real
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 6: sense of your presence so they can release overthinking to you.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 6: I pray that you would pleasantly fill this child of
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 6: yours with so much peace that every anxiety, stress, and
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 6: worry will be replaced with thoughts that are lovely, pure
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 6: and good. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 6: will guard your hearts and your minds. In Christ Jesus,
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 6: set your hope fully on the grace that will be
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 6: brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Peace
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 6: of God, beyond understanding, guard our hearts and minds. Turn
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 6: our hope to you, Lord, each and every time, every
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 6: thought captured in the net of your grace, released into
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 6: your care, never ours to embrace, Delivered from the burden
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 6: of dwelling on hurtful past, delivered into your truth for eternity.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 6: It will last, Lord, God, our mighty deliverer, work as
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 6: only you can in the life of this dear child.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 6: Tonight as they sleep, cleanse their minds from every thought
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 6: that isn't from you. Help them awake in the morning,
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 6: renewed by your spirit with a clear mind to discern
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 6: every thought, give them a sense of purpose to live
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 6: with intentionality, focusing on your will for their life. Teach
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 6: them how to take every thought captive in obedience to
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 6: your son. Help them make it such a practice that
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 6: all overthinking will become a thing of the past. Be
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 6: with them tonight, every minute of every hour in Jesus' name.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 2: Amen. This sleep meditation will help you relax, distress, and
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 2: let go of any worries that are preventing you from
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 2: getting a good night's sleep. If you've been struggling with anxiety,
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 2: unable to calm your nerves, this Bible meditation will help
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 2: you find relief. As you listen to the comforting words
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 2: of the scriptures, you'll be reminded of God's unfailing love
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 2: in the midst of every trial. Tonight we'll be focusing
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 2: on verses from Psalm ninety four, verses that assure us
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 2: of God's unfailing love and support. We'll be encouraged to
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 2: let go of fear and anxiety. We'll experience the freedom
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 2: God offers as we lean on Him through every circumstance.
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 2: But before we begin, please take a few moments to
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 2: settle into bed, make yourself comfortable and take a few
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 2: deep breaths to help you relax. Whisper a quiet prayer
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 2: inviting the Holy Spirit to be with you. Ask for
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 2: his presence in Jesus' name, inhale and exhale. Feel every
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 2: muscle relax as you center your thoughts on God's word
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 2: in his presence tonight. Now let me pray over you,
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 2: Heavenly Father, thank you for being with this listener tonight,
• 1:58:54
  Speaker 2: and I pray that you will cover them with an
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 2: amazing amount of peace, the peace that surpasses all understanding
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 2: and comes from your spirit. I pray that no matter
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 2: where they are in the world, and no matter what
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 2: they're feeling, that you will be with them and free
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 2: them from all anxiousness. Lord, Please help this person release
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 2: every ounce of worry and stress to you.
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 3: Right here.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: In the stillness of the room. Lead them to extend
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 2: their arms as a symbol of letting go of all
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 2: the things that are troubling them. Please help them help
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 2: them to know that you are with them and that
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 2: you love them deeply. Lord, I ask that you help
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 2: this listener experience the freedom you offer when they look
• 2:00:08
  Speaker 2: to you for answers and guidance instead of looking to
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 2: the world. Please help them remain in step with your spirit,
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 2: letting you guide them in every decision. Help them to
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 2: abide in the true vine, allowing you to prune away
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 2: all the things that don't belong and help them to rest.
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 2: And the protective shelter of your wings and the precious
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 2: name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 3: Now take one more slow breath in.
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 2: And exhale out. Listen to these comforting words from Psalm
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 2: ninety four, verses eighteen and nineteen. When I said my
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 2: foot is slipping, Your unfailing love Lord supported me when
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 2: anxiety was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy.
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 2: Rest in those words for a few moments. Each of us,
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 2: at different times in our lives, has felt as though
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 2: our feet were slipping, either by our own choices or habits,
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 2: or by life's circumstances of which we have no control.
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 2: We've found ourselves slipping away and even falling a time
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 2: or two. If this describes you, please know that you're
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 2: not alone. Other brothers and sisters in Christ have slipped
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 2: as well, and many have found themselves living a life
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 2: of imbalance and struggling to remain steady on their feet.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 2: But please remember this, God's unfailing love is always there
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 2: to support you. You were not left to figure out
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 2: things for yourself.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 3: He is there to.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 2: Uphold you, to help you get back on your feet,
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 2: and then to lead you in.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 3: The way you should go.
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 2: You can trust him, lean on him, rest in him.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 3: There's great peace.
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 2: And knowing that God's unfailing love never leaves you. He
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 2: supports you every step of the way, steady, strong, unchanging, unfailing.
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 3: That's what God's love is.
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 2: Rest in the stillness of the room and feel God's
• 2:03:48
  Speaker 2: unfailing love surrounding you, supporting you, and setting you free.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 2: Let's pray, Precious God, Holy God. As the remnants of
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 2: worry and anxiety decrease, we feel your love increase more
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 2: and more. Thank You, We praise you. We rest in
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 2: your presence and find freedom and your spirit, For where
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 2: your spirit is, there is freedom. Tonight, Lord, break every
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 2: stronghold of anxiety in the life of this listener, Cut
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 2: the chains of fretfulness and unrest, Open wide the window
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 2: of your peace and usher in the sweet fragrance of joy.
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 3: It is in the name of Jesus pray these things. Amen.
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 2: Listen again to our Bible passage of Comfort and Joy.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 3: When I said my foot is.
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 2: Slipping, your unfailing love, Lord supported me when anxiety was
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 2: great within me. Your consolation brought me joy. Rest on
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 2: the word consolation for a moment. Consolation means comfort, compassion, relief,
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 2: and strength. Your consolation comes from the unfailing love of
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 2: God through Jesus Christ, his Son. I'm reminded of a
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 2: beautiful passage of scripture that tells of a man named Simeon,
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 2: who was led by the spirit to the temple on
• 2:06:08
  Speaker 2: the same day that Mary and Joseph brought the baby
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 2: Jesus to be dedicated. You see, Simeon had long awaited
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 2: the birth of the Messiah, the consolation of Israel, and
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 2: by the divine providence of God, his eyes beheld the
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: new born King. This is what Simeon said when he
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 2: took Jesus in his arms. Lord, Now you're letting your
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 2: servant depart in peace, according to your word. From my
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 2: eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: to the gentiles. In the glory of your people Israel.
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 2: According to the word of the Lord Jesus came to
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 2: be the consolation of Israel, a light to the gentiles
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 2: and the glory of his people. He is your consolation,
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 2: your light, and your glory. Through comfort, compassion, relief, and strength,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus casts all anxiety away and replaces it with perfect peace.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 2: There is no need to be anxious anymore. Every need
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 2: you have is covered in Jesus. He comforts you. He
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 2: offers compassion and relief from every worry. He strengthens you
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 2: and leads you into the assurance that He has everything
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 2: under control. Release everything to him. When anxiety was great
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 2: within me, your consolation brought me joy. Rest in the
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 2: joy of the Lord. Feel his peace wash over you
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 2: like a healing balm. In him, you have received healing
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: and renewal. The old things are gone and the new
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 2: has come. All anxieties are taken away and replaced by
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: God's consolation of peace. In Psalm one nineteen, we hear
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 2: these words, remember your promise to me and is my
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 2: only hope. Your promise revives me. It comforts me in
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 2: all my troubles. Remember God's promises they are your hope.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 2: They comfort you in every trouble. He promises to uphold
• 2:09:46
  Speaker 2: you with his righteous right hand. He promises to love
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 2: you with an everlasting love. He promises to be with
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 2: you always, never leaving you or forsaking you. Rest deeply
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 2: in the promises of God tonight. Doubt cannot remain where
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 2: God's truth abides. Fear is cast out where God's peace resides.
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 2: Anxiety runs dry as God's presence fills, worries are calmed
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 2: as the Holy Spirit stills. Gracious God, please remember this
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 2: beloved listener tonight as they sleep soundly in your presence
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 2: and in your grace. Bless them as they rest in You,
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 2: keep them in the fold of your unfailing love. And
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 2: God heard them through every hour of the night. Thank
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: you Lord for freeing this person of all anxiety right here,
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 2: right now. We trust you to cast out all traces
• 2:11:16
  Speaker 2: of fretfulness and unrest. As this child sleeps tonight, I
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 2: ask that you fill their dreams with reminders of your promises,
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 2: promises of your unfailing love and goodness. I pray for
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 2: restorative sleep that will help them wake up in the morning,
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 2: refreshed and renewed. Thank you God for your comfort and peace.
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 2: In Jesus name. When I said my foot is slipping
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 2: your unfailing love. Lord supported me when anxiety was great
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 2: within me. Your consolation brought me joy. Sleep now and
• 2:12:17
  Speaker 2: the peaceful consolation of joy. And be free, free to
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 2: live and unity with the Lord. Safe, secure and surrounded
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 2: by His unfailing love. Amen, listen to these comforting words
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 2: from Psalm ninety four, verses eighteen and nineteen. When I said,
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 2: my foot is slipping, Your unfailing love, Lord supported me
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 2: when anxiety was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 2: Rest in those words for a few moments. Each of us,
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 2: at different times in our lives, has felt as though
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 2: our feet were slipping, either by our own choices or habits,
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 2: or by life's circumstances of which we have no control.

  Speaker 2: We've found ourselves slipping away and even falling a time

  Speaker 2: or two. If this describes you, please know that you're

  Speaker 2: as well, and many have found themselves living a life
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 2: of imbalance and struggling to remain steady on their feet.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 2: But please remember this, God's unfailing love is always there

  Speaker 2: Let's pray, Precious God, Holy God. As the remnants of
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 2: worry and anxiety decrease, we feel your love increase more
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 2: and more. Thank you, We praise you. We rest in
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 2: your presence and find freedom and your spirit. For where
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 2: your spirit is, there is freedom. Tonight, Lord, break every
• 2:16:19
  Speaker 2: stronghold of anxiety in the life of this listener. Cut
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 2: the chains of fretfulness and unrest. Open wide the window

  Speaker 2: of your peace and usher in the sweet fragrance of joy.
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 3: It is in the name of Jesus we pray these things. Amen.
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 2: Listen again to our Bible passage of comfort and joy.
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 3: When I said my foot.
• 2:16:53
  Speaker 2: Is slipping, your unfailing love, Lord supported me. What anxiety
• 2:17:00
  Speaker 2: was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy. Rest
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 2: on the word consolation for a moment. Consolation means comfort, compassion, relief,
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 2: and strength. Your consolation comes from the unfailing love of
• 2:17:31
  Speaker 2: God through Jesus Christ, his Son. I'm reminded of a
• 2:17:38
  Speaker 2: beautiful passage of scripture that tells of a man named Simeon,
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 2: who was led by the spirit to the temple on
• 2:17:47
  Speaker 2: the same day that Mary and Joseph brought the baby
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 2: Jesus to be dedicated. You see, Simeon had long awaited
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 2: the birth of the Messiah, the consolation of Israel, and
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 2: by the divine providence of God, his eyes beheld.
• 2:18:08
  Speaker 3: The new born King.
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 2: This is what Simeon said when he took Jesus in
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 2: his arms. Lord, now you're letting your servant depart in peace.
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 2: According to your word. From my eyes have seen your salvation,
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 2: which you have prepared before the face of all peoples,
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 2: a light to bring revelation to the gentiles in the
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 2: glory of your people, Israel. According to the word of
• 2:18:46
  Speaker 2: the Lord, Jesus came to be the consolation of Israel,
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 2: a light to the gentiles, and the glory of his people.
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 2: He is your consolation, your light, and your glory through comfort, compassion, relief,
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 2: and strength. Jesus casts all anxiety away and replaces it
• 2:19:25
  Speaker 2: with perfect peace. There is no need to be anxious anymore.
• 2:19:35
  Speaker 2: Every need you have is covered in Jesus. He comforts you.
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 2: He offers compassion and relief from every worry. He strengthens
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 2: you and leads you into the assurance that He has
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 2: everything under control. Release everything to Him. When anxiety was
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 2: great within me, your consolation brought me joy. Rest in
• 2:20:17
  Speaker 2: the joy of the Lord. Feel his peace wash over
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 2: you like a healing balm. In him, you have received
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 2: healing and renewal. The old things are gone and the
• 2:20:35
  Speaker 2: new has come. All anxieties are taken away and replaced
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 2: by God's consolation of peace. In Psalm one nineteen, we
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 2: hear these words, remember your promise to me and is
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 2: my only hope. Your promise revives me. It comforts me
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 2: in all my troubles. Remember God's promises. They are your hope.
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 2: They comfort you in every trouble. He promises to uphold
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 2: you with his righteous right hand. He promises to love
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 2: you with an everlasting love. He promises to be with
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 2: you always, never leaving you or forsaking you. Rest deeply
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 2: in the promises of God tonight. Doubt cannot remain where
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 2: God's truth abides. Fear is cast out where God's peace resides.
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 2: Anxiety runs dry as God's presence fills, worries are calmed
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 2: as the Holy Spirit stills. Gracious God, please remember this
• 2:22:22
  Speaker 2: beloved listener tonight as they sleep soundly in your presence
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 2: and in your grace. Bless them as they rest in you,

  Speaker 2: Keep them in the fold of your unfailing love, and
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 2: guard them through every hour of the night. Thank you,
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 2: Lord for freeing this person of all anxiety. Right here,
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 2: right now. We trust you to cast out all traces
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 2: of fretfulness and unrest. As this child sleeps tonight, I
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 2: ask that you fill their dreams with reminders of your promises,
• 2:23:09
  Speaker 2: promises of your unfailing love and goodness. I pray for
• 2:23:14
  Speaker 2: restorative sleep that will help them wake up in the morning,
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 2: refreshed and renewed. Thank you God for your comfort and
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 2: peace in Jesus name. When I said my foot is slipping,
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 2: your unfailing love Lord supported me when anxiety was great
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 2: within me. Your consolation brought me joy.
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 3: Sleep now.

  Speaker 2: And the peaceful consolation of joy and be free free

  Speaker 2: surrounded by His unfailing love. Amen, listen to these comforting

  Speaker 2: words from Psalm ninety four, verses eighteen and nineteen. When

  Speaker 2: supported me when anxiety was great within me. Your consolation
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 2: brought me joy. Rest in those words for a few moments.
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 2: Each of us, at different times in our lives, has
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 2: felt as though our feet were slipping, either by our
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 2: own choices or habits, or by life's circumstances of which
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 2: we have no control. We've found ourselves slipping away and
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 2: even falling.
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 3: A time or two.
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 2: If this describes you, please know that you're not alone.
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 2: Other brothers and sisters in Christ have slipped as well,
• 2:25:38
  Speaker 2: and many have found themselves living a life of imbalance
