• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The twenty third Psalm is one of the most beloved
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of all passages of Scripture. King David, who wrote the Psalm,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: grew up and worked as a shepherd, so he knew
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: a lot about pastures and streams and sheep and shepherding.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: He loved seeing the Lord as a shepherd, and he
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: knew the shepherd's job is to care for you, to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: make you feel safe, nourished, calm, and peaceful. So whether
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: your life feels peaceful tonight, your Father in Heaven is
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the good shepherd and is present to love and care
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: for you. Now leave behind today's tasks and worries, and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: just soak in God's presence and get comfortable. Close your
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: eyes and begin to relax. Breathe in God's peace and
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: breathe out your troubles. Just begin to drift off. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: if you fall asleep before I finish, all the better.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: May God be present in your dreams tonight too. So
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: listen as I begin your time your voyage into sleep.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You're drifting into the arms of Christ as we pray,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Dear God, fill my heart and mind fresh with your
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: presence in peace as I sleep, May your Holy Spirit
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: guide my dreams, fill me with trust, O Lord, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: now renew me as I rest in you and increase
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: my faith, Make me strong for tomorrow in Jesus name.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So this evening, as countless have for thousands of years,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: before you settle in. As the story of the twenty
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: third Psalm transforms, you, just imagine it lying down in
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a beautiful, lush green pasture, beside a quiet, soothing stream,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: just not a care in the world, only feeling refreshed,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: feeling restored, protected, guided, even consoled and loved. Yes there
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: are shadows, Yes there is darkness, but never so oppressing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That it's to be feared. Because God is with you,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: He has been.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He is, and he will be yet again. Listen now
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to Psalm three from the King James version.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul. He
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his Name's sake. YEA,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Thou anointest my head with oil, and my cup runneth over. Surely,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: my life, and I will dwell in the house of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the Lord forever. Now listen once again, as you rest
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: even deeper from the amplified version spoken for you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: The Lord is your shepherd. He is here with you.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: To feed you, to guide you, and to shield you.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: You shall not want.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: See his eyes for a moment how he looks at you,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: The intense care and love in his eyes, the look
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that he knows everything about you, yet loves you anyway.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It's impossible for him to love you any more than
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: he does. Right now, just rest there.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: He lets you lie down in green pastures.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: For a moment. Here, feel the cool grasp beneath your feet,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Look up into the bright blue sky, feel the warmth
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: on your face. Just soak up everything that you imagine
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: around you. Right now, he leads you beside the still
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and quiet waters. Hear it bubbling nearby, gentle soothing, not
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the torrent of rushing floodwaters you may feel at times,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: but stillness, quiet, refreshing water, cool water, hear it, smell it,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: dangle your feet and toes in it. It is there
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: to soothe you. He refreshes and restores your soul.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Your life.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Everything broken is paired, anything decayed, It's revived. What is disrupted.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Feel it become restored. What is abandoned. Feel it become recovered.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: What is detached?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Feel it become connected again? And rest there Now He
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: leads you in the paths of righteousness for his namesake,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: not simply wandering, but guided down a path, being led
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: down a well worn path, a known path, a path
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: chosen for you, for your eternity, for his name, and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: for his glory. Even though you walk through the sunless
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: for you are with him. Yes there are shadows, Yes
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: there are storms. Yes there is even the sound of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: distant thunder, but not sufficient to bring you fear. No
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: storms surprise God, No thunder startles him. No shadows catch
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: him unaware, nothing frightens him. Rest here in his strength, present,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: even in storms, His rod is there to protect you,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: his staff to guide you to comfort and console you.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Just gentle, prodding, tender, reminding, a rod that's feared by
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: your enemies, but protective for you. A staff that's dreaded
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: by those that seek to harm you, but serves to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: guide you from harm, to comfort you, to console you.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Feel soothed now by your heavenly chepherd. He prepares a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: table before you, in the presence of your enemies. He
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: prepares it, the creator of the universe, the author of time.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He prepares it for you. And in the presence of
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: your enemies. God's focus is on you, preparing you, providing
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for you. Take a moment now to sit at the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: table that he has prepared for you. He has anointed
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and refreshed your head with oil. Feel his hands on
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: your head. Feel the oil in his hands, the oil
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: running down from your head to dripping down your cheeks.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Oil mixed with tears, his tears of joy, your tears
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: of love. Feel chosen now.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Feel loved, Feel anointed.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Your cup overflows. His blessings.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Don't fill you, they overflow you.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Feel that right now, See it.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: His blessings spilling out out of your heart, your mind,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: your body, and your soul. Surely, goodness and mercy and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: unfailing love shall follow you all the days of your life.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Walk along for a moment and then stop and look
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: behind you. What do you see in your mind's eye?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Who do you see? Imagine seeing goodness following you, See
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: mercy walking right behind you. See unfailing love following you,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: always present, always close, walking in step, right behind you.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Take a moment now to listen carefully and hear their steps,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: And you shall dwell forever throughout all of your days
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in the house and in the presence of the Lord.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Dwell not just in any old place, but living and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: staying as a permanent resident in the house and presence
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: of God. Not an earthly place of sticks and mud,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: but a heavenly palace built by the Creator. And not
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: just today but tomorrow, all week, every month, year, decade, century,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and millennia, for all time forever. Now rest in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: green pasture, buy the still water. Rest safe from harm.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Allow God's presence to free you, to save you. Breathe
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: in God's peace and breathe out your troubles.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Let your head sink deep into the pillow. Let go
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: of any distractions or thoughts about tomorrow and events of
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: your day. Allow yourself to be fully present in the
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: here and now. Breathe deeply in and out, in and
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: out inviting God's presence to fill the room. As you
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: listen to my voice and the words of this meditation,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Let the peaceful messages flow into your mind and settle
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: deep into your heart. The prayers and scriptures I will
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: speak over you tonight are words of hope, life and peace.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Ask the Holy Spirit to send words of comfort through
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: this meditation, and know that His angels are here to
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: protect you as you rest to night. As I begin
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: reading from Psalm ninety one, allow yourself to feel the
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: security of God's covering like a soft, warm blanket. Let
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: his gentle presence cover ever free fiber of your being.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: He is your protection and your refuge. Know that it
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: is the Lord who keeps you safe. Those who live
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: in the shelter of the Most High will find rest
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: in the shadow of the Almighty. He alone is your refuge,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: your place of safety. He is your God, and you
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: can trust him. He will cover you with his feathers.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: are your armor and your protection. Do not be afraid.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Rest in His everlasting arms as I pray over you. Now,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: relax and breathe deeply in.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: And out.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Inhale his goodness. Exhale your worries. Gracious Heavenly Father, shelter
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: this beloved person tonight under the shadow of your wings.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Let their heart fully trust in you, Lord, as you
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: cover them and guard them from the terrors of the night.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Surround them with your angels that they might feel completely
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: safe and secure in Jesus's name. Do you feel his presence,
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: his protection, his safety. Breathe deeply now in and out,
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: relaxing even more in the presence of God. Trust the
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Lord to send his angels to keep watch over you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Allow yourself to imagine guardian angels in the room with you.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: They are there to protect you so that you can
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: rest easily. Feel the warmth of the covers and the
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: softness of the pillow as you sink deeper into peaceful relaxation.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: Now listen as I read these beautiful words from Psalm
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: ninety one. If you make the Lord your refuge, if
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: you make the most High your shelter, no evil will
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: conquer you, no plague will come near your home, for
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Do you believe that? Do you believe with all your
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: heart that God will order his angels to protect you.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: He loves you, and you can rest fully in that truth.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: Holy God, Please give this person your cherished loved one
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: perfect rest. Help them to make you their refuge and
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: their shelter. Give them comfort, Give them comfort to know
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: that no bad thing will come near their home. Help
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: them sense that your angels are watching over them. Tonight,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: in Jesus's name, I pray Amen, as I share even
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: more from Psalm ninety one, try to pace your breathing.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Breathe in and exhale slowly, breathe in and breathe out.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Allow yourself to drift off to sleep in perfect peace.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: For the Lord says, I will rescue those who love me.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: I will protect those who trust in my name. When
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: you call on me, I will answer. I will be
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: with you in trouble. God is with you. He will
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: rescue you from every trouble, every hardship, every difficult situation.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: When you love him, trust him and call on his name. Yes,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: he will be with you. Feel his presence. His spirit
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: lives in you. His Son Jesus has saved you. He
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: is your God, Heavenly Father. Be with your loved one tonight.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: With every breath they take, let them know you are
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: with them, let them know that your spirit dwells in
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: their spirit, and let them be assured that the blood
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: of your Son has made them clean, whole, and restored.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Thank you Lord for protecting them tonight in your presence
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: and by the covering of your angels. In Jesus's name,
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: As I share this final portion of psalmnighty one, sink
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: even deeper into the safety and protection that the Lord
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: offers you to night. His loving arms are around you.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: He is keeping you safe. He is with you. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: will rescue and honor you, says the Lord. I will
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: reward you with a long life and give you my salvation.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: The peace of knowing you have honor, long life, and
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: salvation is a perfect peace that allows you to rest
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: fully in the Lord. He is trustworthy and true. Feel
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: his presence now as you breathe in.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: And out.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Breathe in the warmth of God's embrace. Exhale your exhaustion,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: letting it go as you drift into God's land of protection.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Thank you Lord for rewarding your servant with honor and
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: long life. Bless them tonight, giving them peaceful, rest assuring
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: them of the salvation they have in your son Jesus,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: For it is in his name that I pray. Now
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: as I turn to Psalm one O three, let your
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: mind turn to thoughts of deep sleep. You are at
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: perfect rest tonight. Breathe in and out, sinking deeper into
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: the bed, letting your entire body relax. Let every part
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: of you praise the Lord. May you never forget the
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: good things He has done for you. He forgives all
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: your sins and heals all your diseases. What a beautiful
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: reminder of the good things God has done for you.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: He longs to give you good things. Receive his goodness.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Do you feel the goodness of his presence. He has
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: sent angels to protect you, and it is good. Confess
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: your sins before the Lord. He forgives all of your iniquities.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Thank him, Praise him. He heals all of your ailments.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Receive his healing, touch his comforts, his provisions. Breathe deeply
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: of his spirit. Relax, settle your mind and heart on
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: his goodness. Gracious God, Please bless this person tonight with

  Speaker 4: I pray Amen. Psalm twenty three a psalm of David

  Speaker 4: me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: leadeth me in the paths of righteousness. For his name's sake.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Yea I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Surely,
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: my life. And I will dwell in the house of

• 32:36
  Speaker 4: that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: hast made the Lord which is my refuge, even the
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: high thy habitation. There shall no evil befall thee. Neither
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For He shall
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone, thou shalt
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: tread upon the lion and adder, the young lion, and
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: the dragon. Shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: set his love upon me, Therefore will I deliver him.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: I will set him on high. Because he hath known
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: my name. He shall call upon me, and I will
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: will deliver him and honor him. With long life. Will
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: I satisfy him and shew him my salvation.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Now leave behind today's tasks and worries, and just soak
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: in God's presence and get comfortable. Close your eyes and
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: begin to relax. Breathe in God's peace and breathe out
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: your troubles. Just begin to drift off. And if you
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: fall asleep before I finish, all the better. May God
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: be present in your dreams tonight too. So listen as
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I begin your time, your voyage into sleep. You're drifting
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: into the the arms of Christ as we pray. Dear God,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: fill my heart and mind fresh with your presence in
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: peace as I sleep. May your Holy Spirit guide my dreams.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Fill me with trust, O Lord, and now renew me
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: as I rest in You and increase my faith. Make
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: me strong for tomorrow in Jesus' name.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: So this evening, as countless have for thousands of years.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Before you settle in Now, as the story of the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: twenty third Psalm transforms you, just imagine it lying down
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: in a beautiful, lush green pasture, beside a quiet, soothing stream,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: just not a care in the world, only feeling refreshed,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: feeling restored, protected, guided, even consoled and loved. Yes there
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: are shadows. Yes there is darkness, but never so oppressing
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: that it's to be feared. Because God is with you,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: He has been, he is, and he will be yet again.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Listen now to Psalm chapter twenty three from the King
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: James version. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul. He
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: I will fear no evil. For Thou art with me.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: Thou anointest my.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Head with oil, and my cup runneth over. Surely, goodness
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: and I will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Now listen once again, as you rest even deeper, from
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the amplified version spoken for you.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: The Lord is your shepherd. He is here with you.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: To feed you, to guide you, and to shield you.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: You shall not want.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: See his eyes for a moment, how he looks at you,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: The intense care and love in his eyes, the look
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that he knows everything about you, yet loves you anyway.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It's impossible for him to love you any more than
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: he does. Right now, Just rest there. He lets you
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: lie down in green pastures for a moment. Here, Feel
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the cool grass beneath your feet, Look up into the
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: bright blue sky, feel the warmth on your face. Just
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: soak up everything that you imagine around you.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: He leads you beside the still and quiet waters. Hear
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: it bubbling nearby, gentle soothing. Not the torrent of rushing
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: floodwaters you may feel at times, but stillness, quiet, refreshing water,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: cool water. Hear it, smell it, dangle your feet and
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: toes in it. It is there to soothe you. He
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: refreshes and restores your soul, your life. Everything broken is repaired.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Anything decayed it's revived.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: What is disrupted?
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Feel it become restored, what is abandoned. Feel it become
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: rec what is detached, Feel it become connected again? And
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: rest there Now. He leads you in the paths of
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: righteousness for his namesake, not simply wandering, but guided down
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: a path, being led down a well worn path, a
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: known path, a path chosen for you, for your eternity,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: for his name, and for his glory. Even though you
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: walk through the sunless valley of the shadow of Death,
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: you will fear no evil, for you are with him.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Yes there are shadows, Yes there are storms. Yes there
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: is even the sound of distant thunder, but not sufficient
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: to bring you fear. No storms surprise God. No thunder
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: startles him, No shadows catch him unaware, nothing frightens him.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Rest here in his strength, present, even in storms. His
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: rod is there to protect you, his staff to guide
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: you to comfort and console you. Just gentle, prodding, tender reminding.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: A rod that's feared by your enemies, but protective for you,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: a staff that's dreaded by those that seek to harm you,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: but serves to guide you from harm, to comfort you,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: to console you. Feel soothed now by your heavenly shepherd.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: He prepares a table before you. In the presence of
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: your enemies. He prepares it, the creator of the universe,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: the author of time. He prepares it for you. And
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: in the presence of your enemies, God's focus is on you,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: preparing you providing for you. Take a moment now to
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: sit at the table that he has prepared for you.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: He has anointed and refreshed your head with oil. Feel
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: his hands on your head, Feel the oil in his hands,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: the oil running down from your head to dripping down
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: your cheeks, oil mixed with tears, his tears of joy,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: your tears of love. Feel chosen now.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Feel loved, Feel anointed.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Your cup overflows.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: His blessings don't fill you, They overflow you. Feel that
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: See it.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: His blessings spilling out of your heart, your mind, your body,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and your soul. Surely, goodness and mercy and unfailing love
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: shall follow you all the days.
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Of your life.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Walk along for a moment, and then stop and look
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: behind you. What do you see in your mind's eye?
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Who do you see?
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Imagine seeing goodness following you, See mercy walking right behind you.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: See unfailing love following you, always present, always close, walking
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: in step, right behind you. Take a moment now to
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: listen carefully and hear their steps. And you shall dwell
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: forever throughout all of your days in the house and
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: in the presence of the Lord. Dwell not just in
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: any old place, but living and staying as a permanent
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: resident in the house and presence of God, not an
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: earthly place of sticks and mud, but a heavenly palace
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: built by the Creator, And not just today, but tomorrow,
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: all week, every month, year, decade, century, and millennia for
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: all time forever. Now rest in the green pasture by
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: the still water. Rest safe from harm. Allow God's presence
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: to free you, to save you. Breathe in God's peace
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: and breathe out your troubles.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: Let your head sink deep into the pillow. Let go
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: of any distractions or thoughts about tomorrow and events of
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: your day. Allow yourself to be fully present in the
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: here and now. Breathe deeply in and out, in and out,
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: inviting God's presence to fill the room. As you listen
• 48:50

  Speaker 4: in to your heart. Prayers and scriptures I will speak
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: over you tonight are words of hope, life and peace.

  Speaker 4: Ask the Holy Spirit to send words of comfort through
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: this meditation, and know that His angels are here to
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: protect you as you rest tonight. As I begin reading

  Speaker 4: the pillow as you sink deeper into peaceful relaxation. Now
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: listen as I read these beautiful words from Psalm ninety one.

  Speaker 4: No plague will come near your home, for He will

  Speaker 4: you believe that? Do you believe with all your heart
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: that God will order his angels to protect you. He

• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: in the secret place of the Most High shall abide
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 4: under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 4: the Lord. He is my refuge and my fortress, my God.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 4: In him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 4: Shalt thou trust His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 4: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: nor for the arrow that flieth by day, nor for
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 4: not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: hast made the Lord, which is my refuge even the
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: most high thy habitation. There shall no evil befall thee.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For He
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: there hands. Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 4: thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder the young
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: lion and the dragon. Shalt thou trample underfeet. Because he
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 4: hath set his love upon me. Therefore will I deliver him.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: I will set him on high, because he hath known
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: my name. He shall call upon me, and I will
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 4: answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: will deliver him and honor him with long life. Will
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: I satisfy him and shew him my salvation.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Now leave behind today's task and worries, and just soak
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: in God's presence and get comfortable. Close your eyes and
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: begin to relax. Breathe in God's peace and breathe out
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: your troubles. Just begin to drift off. And if you
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: fall asleep before I finish, all the better. May God
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: be present in your dreams tonight too. So listen as
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: I begin your time your voyage into sleep. You're drifting
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: into the arms of Christ as we pray. Dear God,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: fill my heart and mind fresh with your presence in
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: peace as I sleep. May your Holy Spirit guide my dreams.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Fill me with trust. O Lord, and now renew me
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: as I rest in you and increase my faith. Make
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: me strong for Tomorrowmorrow in Jesus' name.
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: So this evening, as countless have for thousands of years.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: Before you settle in now, as the story of the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: twenty third Psalm transforms, you, just imagine it lying down
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: in a beautiful, lush, green pasture, beside a quiet, soothing stream,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: just not a care in the world, only feeling refreshed,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: feeling restored, protected, guided, even consoled and loved. Yes there
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: are shadows, Yes there is darkness, but never so oppressing
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: that it's to be feared. Because God God is with you,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: He has been, he is, and he will be yet again.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Listen now to Psalm chapter twenty three from the King
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: James version.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: The Lord is my shepherd.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: I shall not want.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul. He
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I will fear no evil. For thou art with me,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou preparest a
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: anointest my head with oil, and my cup runneth over. Surely,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: my life, and I will dwell in the house of
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: the Lord forever. Now listen once again, as you rest
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: even deeper from the amplified version spoken for you.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: The Lord is your shepherd. He is here with you.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: To feed you, to guide you, and to shield you.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: You shall not want.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: See his eyes for a moment, how he looks at you,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: The intense care and love in his eyes, the look
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: that he knows everything about you, yet loves you anyway.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: It's impossible for him to love you any more than
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: he does. Right now, just rest there. He lets you
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: lie down in green pastures for a moment. Here, Feel
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: the cool grasp beneath your feet, Look up into the
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: bright blue sky, feel the warmth on your face. Just
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: soak up everything that you imagine around you. Right now,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: He leads you beside the still.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: And quiet waters.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: Hear it bubbling nearby, gentle soothing, not the torrent of
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: rushing floodwaters you may feel at times, but stillness, quiet,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: refreshing water, cool water. Hear it, smell it, dangle your
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: feet and toes in it. It is there to soothe you.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: He refreshes and restores your soul, your life. Everything broken
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: is repaired, Anything decayed, it's revived. What is disrupted, Feel
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: it become restored. What is abandoned. Feel it become recovered.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: What is detached?
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: Feel it become connected again, and rest there Now He
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: leads you in the paths of righteousness for his namesake,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: not simply wandering, but guided down a path, being led
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: down a well worn path, a known path, a path
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: chosen for you, for your eternity, for his name, and
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: for his glory. Even though you walk through the sunless
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: valley of the shadow of Death, you will fear no evil,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: for you are with him. Yes there are shadows, Yes
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: there are storms. Yes there is even the sound of
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: distant thunder, but not sufficient to bring you fear. Storms
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: surprise God, No thunder startles.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Him, no shadows catch him. Unaware.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Nothing frightens him. Rest here in his strength, present, even
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: in storms.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: His rod is.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: There to protect you, his staff to guide you to
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: comfort and console you. Just gentle, prodding, tender reminding. A
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: rod that's feared by your enemies, but protective for you,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: a staff that's dreaded by those that seek to harm you.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: It serves to guide you from harm, to comfort you.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: To console you.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: Feel soothed now by your heavenly shepherd. He prepares a
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: table before you, in the presence of your enemies. He
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: prepares it, the creator of the universe, the author of time.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: He prepares it for you, And in the presence of
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: your enemies. God's focus is on you, preparing you, providing
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: for you. Take a moment now to sit at the
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: table that He has prepared for you. He has anointed
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: and refreshed your head with oil. Feel his hands on
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: your head, Feel the oil in his hands, the oil
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: running down from your head to dripping down your cheeks.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: Oil mixed with tears, his tears of joy, your tears
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: of love. Feel chosen now.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: Feel loved, Feel anointed.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: Your cup overflows.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: His blessings don't fill you, they overflow you.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 3: Feel that right now see it.
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: His blessings spilling out of your heart, your mind, your body,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: and your soul. Surely, goodness and mercy and unfailing love
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: shall follow you all the days of your life. Walk
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: along for a moment, and then stop and look behind you.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: What do you see in your mind's eye?
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: Who do you see?
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: Imagine seeing goodness following you, See mercy walking right behind you.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: See unfailing love following you, always present, always close, walking
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: in step, right behind you. Take a moment now to
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: listen carefully and hear their steps. And you shall dwell
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: forever throughout all of your days in the house and
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: in the presence of the Lord. Dwell not just in
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: any old place, but living and staying as a permanent
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: resident in the House and presence of God, not an
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: earthly place of sticks and mud, but a heavenly palace
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: by the Creator. And not just today, but tomorrow, all week,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: every month, year, decade, century, and millennia for all time forever.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: Now rest in the green pasture by the still water.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: Rest safe from harm. Allow God's presence to free you,
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: to save you. Breathe in God's peace and breathe out
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: your troubles.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 4: Let your head sink deep into the pillow. Let go
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: of any distractions or thoughts about tomorrow and events of
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 4: your day. Allow yourself to be fully present in the
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: here and now. Breathe deeply in and out, in and out,

• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: into your heart. The prayers and scriptures I will speak

  Speaker 4: over you tonight are words of hope, life and peace.

• 1:22:48
  Speaker 4: this meditation, and know that His angels are here to
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 4: protect you. As you rest tonight, reading from Psalm ninety one,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 4: allow yourself to feel the security of God's covering like
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: a soft, warm blanket. Let his gentle presence cover every
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: fiber of your being. He is your protection and your refuge.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: Know that it is the Lord who keeps you safe.

  Speaker 4: I pray over you. Now, relax and breathe deeply in.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 2: And out.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 4: Inhil his goodness, exhale your worries. Gracious Heavenly Father, shelter
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: this beloved person to night under the shadow of your wings.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 4: Let their heart fully trust in you, Lord, as you
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: cover them and guard them from the terrors of the night.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: Surround them with your angels that they might feel completely
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 4: safe and secure. In Jesus's name, do you feel his presence,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 4: his protection, his safety. Breathe deeply now, in and out,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 4: relaxing even more in the presence of God. Trust the

  Speaker 4: Lord to send his angels to keep watch over you.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: Allow yourself to imagine guardian angels in the room with you.

  Speaker 4: They are there to protect you so that you can
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 4: rest easily. Feel the warmth of the covers and the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 4: softness of the pillow as you sink deeper into peaceful relaxation.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 4: Now listen as I read these beautiful words from Psalm
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 4: ninety one. If you make the Lord your refuge, if
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 4: you make the most high your shelter, no evil will
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 4: conquer you. No plague will come near your home, for
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 4: He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 4: Do you believe that? Do you believe with all your
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 4: heart that God will order his angels to protect you.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 4: He loves you, and you can rest fully in that truth.

  Speaker 4: more from psalmninety one, try to pace your breathing. Breathe
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 4: in and exhale slowly, breathe in and breathe out. Allow
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 4: yourself to drift off to sleep in perfect peace. For

  Speaker 4: The peace of knowing you have honor, long life, and

  Speaker 4: salvation is a perfect peace that allows you to rest

  Speaker 4: his presence now as you breathe in and out, Breathe

  Speaker 4: in the warmth of God's embrace. Exhale your exhaustion, letting

  Speaker 4: it go as you drift into God's land of protection.

  Speaker 4: long life. Bless them tonight, giving them peaceful rest, assuring
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 4: them of the salvation they have in your Son Jesus.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: For it is in his name that I pray. Now
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 4: as I turn to Psalm one O three, let your

  Speaker 4: mind turn to thoughts of deep sleep. You are at
