- 0:41Speaker 1: Lord is with you. He promises to watch over you
- 0:46Speaker 1: as you sleep tonight. As you lay in comfort, take

- 1:33Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen says, because the Lord bends down
- 1:38Speaker 1: to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Imagine God bending down to listen to you. Watch him
- 1:49Speaker 1: listen patiently to your concerns. As you do, breathe in
- 1:54Speaker 1: God's peace and breathe out your worries. The loving arms
- 2:01Speaker 1: of God encircling you. Christ has given his life for you,
- 2:08Speaker 1: and nothing can separate you from the love that God
- 2:11Speaker 1: has for you. Has your breathing as I pray for
- 2:16Speaker 1: you now. Father, thank you for the deep, deep love
- 2:24Speaker 1: you have for your child, that you would give your
- 2:27Speaker 1: own son for them. Thank you for the gift of
- 2:32Speaker 1: forgiveness from sins. Thank you for washing them free from
- 2:37Speaker 1: any guilt or shame and restoring them. Thank You for
- 2:44Speaker 1: sending your spirit to be a seal on their heart,
- 2:48Speaker 1: marking them as yours forever. Thank You for blessing them
- 2:56Speaker 1: with every spiritual blessing. In Christ to night. Please bless
- 3:04Speaker 1: this child with the gift of sleep. Free your child
- 3:10Speaker 1: from any worries, stresses, or anxieties. Calm their nerves and heart,
- 3:19Speaker 1: and quiet their body. Give them peace, and let these
- 3:26Speaker 1: words of the Psalmist guide them into a deeper sense
- 3:30Speaker 1: of your glory and grace. As I read words of
- 3:34Speaker 1: praise for our good God from Psalm one hundred and thirteen,
- 3:40Speaker 1: Praise the Lord, O, servants of the Lord, Praise the
- 3:45Speaker 1: name of the Lord. Bless it be the name of
- 3:50Speaker 1: the Lord. From this time forth and forevermore, from the
- 3:56Speaker 1: rising of the sun to its setting, the name of
- 4:01Speaker 1: the Lord is to be praised. Gracious Lord, as the
- 4:08Speaker 1: sun has set to day, we praise your name. Guide
- 4:14Speaker 1: this child, your servant, into sleep and rest now, so
- 4:21Speaker 1: that they may have the strength they need to praise
- 4:24Speaker 1: your name in the day to come. Pace your breathing
- 4:30Speaker 1: softly as I continue reading from Psalm one hundred thirteen.
- 4:35Speaker 1: The Lord is high above all nations and his glory
- 4:41Speaker 1: above the heavens. Who is like the Lord, our God,
- 4:47Speaker 1: who is seated on high, who looks far down on
- 4:52Speaker 1: the heavens and the earth. He raises the poor from
- 4:57Speaker 1: the dust and lifts the from the ash heap to
- 5:02Speaker 1: make them sit with princes and the princes of his people. Lord,
- 5:10Speaker 1: you look on your child with love, and you lift
- 5:14Speaker 1: them to abide with you as they rest tonight. Please
- 5:21Speaker 1: fill them with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
- 5:35Speaker 1: self control, and all the fruits of the spirit. Feel
- 5:42Speaker 1: the peace of God lifting you to him. His love
- 5:47Speaker 1: lifts you away from your worries and into safety. Listen
- 5:54Speaker 1: as I pray with the words of the Psalmist from
- 5:58Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and fifty. Not to us, o Lord,
- 6:05Speaker 1: not to us, but to your name goes all the
- 6:09Speaker 1: glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. We will trust
- 6:16Speaker 1: the Lord. You are our helper and our shield. We
- 6:23Speaker 1: fear the Lord. We trust the Lord. The Lord remembers
- 6:30Speaker 1: us and will bless us. He will bless those who
- 6:34Speaker 1: fear the Lord, both great and lowly. May the Lord
- 6:40Speaker 1: richly bless both you and your children. May you be
- 6:46Speaker 1: blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth. Father,
- 6:53Speaker 1: maker of heaven and earth, Thank you for remembering us
- 6:57Speaker 1: and richly blessing us. Thank you for helping us in
- 7:02Speaker 1: time of need and shielding us in times of trouble.
- 7:08Speaker 1: We give you all the glory. Lead your child now
- 7:14Speaker 1: into deep sleep and true rest. Feel the Father's hands
- 7:21Speaker 1: on you, blessing you. See him bending down to listen
- 7:27Speaker 1: to you and watching over you as you rest. Hace
- 7:32Speaker 1: your breathing as we pray these words from Psalm one
- 7:36Speaker 1: hundred sixteen. I love the Lord because he hears my
- 7:42Speaker 1: voice and my prayer for mercy, because he bends down
- 7:47Speaker 1: to listen. I will pray as long as I have breath.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Death wrapped its ropes around me. The terrors of the
- 7:58Speaker 1: grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. Then
- 8:05Speaker 1: I called on the name of the Lord. Please Lord,
- 8:10Speaker 1: save me. How kind the Lord is, how good he is,
- 8:18Speaker 1: so merciful, this God of ours, The Lord protects those
- 8:23Speaker 1: of childlike faith. I was facing death, and he saved me.
- 8:31Speaker 1: Merciful God, thank you for saving your child. When the
- 8:36Speaker 1: cords of sin and death entangled them, you reached down
- 8:41Speaker 1: to rescue. Thank you for your mercy. Thank you for
- 8:47Speaker 1: watching over us and listening to our cries for help.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I ask that now you would hold this child close
- 8:57Speaker 1: like a mother hen with her chicks. Gather this child
- 9:01Speaker 1: under the shelter of your wings. Feel your breathing steady,
- 9:07Speaker 1: and secure your heart beating gently with the grace of God.
- 9:12Speaker 1: And listen as I pray these words from Psalm one
- 9:16Speaker 1: hundred sixteen. Let my soul be at rest again, for
- 9:23Speaker 1: the Lord has been good to me. He has saved
- 9:27Speaker 1: me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling,
- 9:34Speaker 1: And so I walk in the Lord's presence as I
- 9:38Speaker 1: live here on earth. I believed in you, so I said,
- 9:43Speaker 1: I am deeply troubled. Lord. In my anxiety, I cried
- 9:48Speaker 1: out to you. What can I offer the Lord for
- 9:51Speaker 1: all he has done for me. I will lift up
- 9:55Speaker 1: the cup of salvation and praise the Lord's name saving me.
- 10:02Speaker 1: I will keep my promises to the Lord in the
- 10:05Speaker 1: presence of all his people. Saving Lord, we give you
- 10:11Speaker 1: all the glory. Please let your child, soul and body
- 10:17Speaker 1: be at rest tonight. Let them rest in the assurance
- 10:22Speaker 1: that you have saved them, and that they live in
- 10:26Speaker 1: your presence, and that you are always listening to their cries.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Feel yourself drifting off to sleep as I continue reading
- 10:38Speaker 1: from Psalm one hundred and seventeen. Oh, praise the Lord,
- 10:43Speaker 1: all you nations. Praise him, all you people, for his
- 10:49Speaker 1: loving kindness prevails over us, and we triumph and overcome
- 10:56Speaker 1: through him, and the truth of the Lord Lord endures forever.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Praise the Lord Lord. We praise you for your love
- 11:07Speaker 1: and your kindness. We praise you for your truth. Thank
- 11:12Speaker 1: you for promising that your child may overcome all things,
- 11:18Speaker 1: and that you will lead your child in triumph and
- 11:21Speaker 1: into radiant truth. Pace your breathing as I read now
- 11:27Speaker 1: from Psalm one hundred and eighteen. Breathe in, give thanks
- 11:33Speaker 1: to the Lord, for he is good. Breathe out His
- 11:39Speaker 1: faithful love endures forever. Breathe in, Give thanks to the Lord,
- 11:48Speaker 1: for he is good. Breathe out. His faithful love endures forever.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Let all who fear the Lord say with us, his
- 12:02Speaker 1: faithful love endures forever. Lord, your love is with us,
- 12:08Speaker 1: even unto the end. Let your love wrap around this
- 12:14Speaker 1: child tonight as you lead your child into the rest
- 12:19Speaker 1: they need. Continue to breathe deeply, as I continue to
- 12:24Speaker 1: pray with the words of the Psalmist. In our distress,
- 12:30Speaker 1: we pray to you Lord, and you answer and set
- 12:34Speaker 1: us free. The Lord is for us, so we will
- 12:39Speaker 1: have no fear. What can mere people do to us? Yes,
- 12:46Speaker 1: the Lord is for us. He will help us. We
- 12:51Speaker 1: choose to take refuge in You God. It is better
- 12:54Speaker 1: to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.
- 13:00Speaker 1: It is better to take refuge in the Lord than
- 13:03Speaker 1: to trust in princes. God. We believe that though we
- 13:08Speaker 1: may fail, your love will never fail. May your child
- 13:15Speaker 1: find refuge in you tonight and trust you completely. Set
- 13:21Speaker 1: your child free from fear. God, you are our hiding place.
- 13:28Speaker 1: May your child hide safely with you tonight and experience
- 13:32Speaker 1: the true rest and peace that only you can give.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Sink deeply into comfort and rest as I continue to
- 13:45Speaker 1: read from Psalm one eighteen. The Lord is my strength
- 13:52Speaker 1: and my song. He has given me victory. Songs of
- 13:58Speaker 1: joy and victory are soung in the camp of the Godly.
- 14:03Speaker 1: The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things.

- 14:32Speaker 1: the Lord. These gates lead to the presence of the Lord,
- 14:38Speaker 1: and the Godly enter there. I thank you for answering
- 14:43Speaker 1: my prayer and giving me victory. Gracious God, you have

- 15:02Speaker 1: your work in the world. God, I ask now that
- 15:08Speaker 1: you would be with your child as they sleep through

- 15:18Speaker 1: wake them in the morning to a new day that
- 15:21Speaker 1: you have made, that they may rejoice and be glad

- 31:36Speaker 1: anxiety and trouble. Relax your legs and back. May God
- 31:43Speaker 1: lift off all your burdens and carry the weight of
- 31:46Speaker 1: His work for you. Let your toes relax. May God
- 31:52Speaker 1: strengthen and guide your feet for new paths for tomorrow.
- 31:58Speaker 1: If any worries come to mind, release them to God.
- 32:02Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and sixteen says, because the Lord bends
- 32:07Speaker 1: down to listen, I will pray as long as I
- 32:11Speaker 1: have breath. Imagine God bending down to listen to you.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Watch him listen patiently to your concerns. As you do,
- 32:23Speaker 1: breathe in God's peace and breathe out your worries. Feel
- 32:30Speaker 1: the loving arms of God encircling you. Christ has given
- 32:35Speaker 1: his life for you, and nothing can separate you from
- 32:40Speaker 1: the love that God has for you. Hate your breathing
- 32:45Speaker 1: as I pray for you now. Father, Thank you for
- 32:51Speaker 1: the deep, deep love you have for your child, that
- 32:56Speaker 1: you would give your own son for them. Thank You
- 33:01Speaker 1: for the gift of forgiveness from sins. Thank You for
- 33:06Speaker 1: washing them free from any guilt or shame and restoring them.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Thank You for sending your spirit to be a seal
- 33:16Speaker 1: on their heart, marking them as yours forever. Thank You
- 33:24Speaker 1: for blessing them with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Tonight,
- 33:31Speaker 1: Please bless this child with the gift of sleep. Free
- 33:39Speaker 1: your child from any worries, stresses, or anxieties. Calm their
- 33:47Speaker 1: nerves and heart, and quiet their body. Give them peace,
- 33:55Speaker 1: and let these words of the Psalmist guide them into
- 33:59Speaker 1: a deeper sense of your glory and grace. As I
- 34:03Speaker 1: read words of praise for our good God from Psalm
- 34:07Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen, Praise the Lord, O, servants of
- 34:13Speaker 1: the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord. Bless it
- 34:18Speaker 1: be the name of the Lord. From this time forth
- 34:23Speaker 1: and forevermore, from the rising of the sun to its setting,
- 34:30Speaker 1: the name of the Lord is to be praised. Gracious Lord,
- 34:37Speaker 1: as the Sun has said, today, we praise your name.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Guide this child, your servant, into sleep and rest now,
- 34:51Speaker 1: so that they may have the strength they need to
- 34:54Speaker 1: praise your name in the day to come. Pace your
- 34:59Speaker 1: breathing soft as I continue reading from Psalm one hundred thirteen.
- 35:05Speaker 1: The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory
- 35:11Speaker 1: above the heavens. Who is like the Lord, our God,
- 35:16Speaker 1: who is seated on high, who looks far down on
- 35:22Speaker 1: the heavens and the earth. He raises the poor from
- 35:27Speaker 1: the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
- 35:32Speaker 1: to make them sit with princes and the princes of
- 35:36Speaker 1: his people. Lord, you look on your child with love,
- 35:42Speaker 1: and you lift them to abide with you. As they
- 35:48Speaker 1: rest tonight. Please fill them with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
- 36:05Speaker 1: self control, and all the fruits of the spirit. Feel
- 36:11Speaker 1: the peace of God lifting you to him. His love
- 36:17Speaker 1: lifts you away from your worries and into safety. Listen
- 36:24Speaker 1: as I pray with the words of the Psalmist from
- 36:28Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and fifteen. Not to us, o Lord,
- 36:34Speaker 1: not to us, but to your name goes all the
- 36:39Speaker 1: glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. We will trust
- 36:46Speaker 1: the Lord. You are our helper and our shield. We
- 36:53Speaker 1: fear the Lord. We trust the Lord. The Lord remembers
- 36:59Speaker 1: us and will bless us. He will bless those who
- 37:04Speaker 1: fear the Lord, both great and lowly. May the Lord
- 37:10Speaker 1: richly bless both you and your children. May you be
- 37:15Speaker 1: blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth. Father,
- 37:22Speaker 1: maker of heaven and earth, Thank you for remembering us
- 37:27Speaker 1: and richly blessing us. Thank you for helping us in
- 37:32Speaker 1: time of need and shielding us in times of trouble.
- 37:37Speaker 1: We give you all the glory. Lead your child now
- 37:44Speaker 1: into deep sleep and true rest. Feel the Father's hands
- 37:51Speaker 1: on you, blessing you. See him bending down to listen
- 37:56Speaker 1: to you, and watching over you as you rest. Hace
- 38:02Speaker 1: your breathing as we pray these words from Psalm one
- 38:06Speaker 1: hundred sixteen. I love the Lord because he hears my
- 38:11Speaker 1: voice and my prayer for mercy, because he bends down
- 38:17Speaker 1: to listen. I will pray as long as I have breath.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Death wrapped its ropes around me, the terrors of the
- 38:27Speaker 1: grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. Then
- 38:35Speaker 1: I called on the name of the Lord, Please Lord
- 38:40Speaker 1: save me. How kind the Lord is, how good he
- 38:46Speaker 1: is so merciful this God of ours, the Lord protects
- 38:52Speaker 1: those of childlike faith. I was facing death and he
- 38:58Speaker 1: saved me. Merciful God, thank you for saving your child
- 39:05Speaker 1: when the cords of sin and death entangled them. You
- 39:10Speaker 1: reach down to rescue. Thank you for your mercy. Thank
- 39:16Speaker 1: you for watching over us and listening to our cries
- 39:20Speaker 1: for help. I ask that now you would hold this
- 39:24Speaker 1: child close like a mother hen with her chicks. Gather
- 39:30Speaker 1: this child under the shelter of your wings. Feel your
- 39:35Speaker 1: breathing steady, and secure, your heart beating gently with the
- 39:40Speaker 1: grace of God. And listen as I pray these words
- 39:45Speaker 1: from Psalm one hundred sixteen. Let my soul be at
- 39:50Speaker 1: rest again. For the Lord has been good to me.
- 39:56Speaker 1: He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears,
- 40:01Speaker 1: my feet from stumbling. And so I walk in the
- 40:05Speaker 1: Lord's presence as I live here on earth. I believed
- 40:10Speaker 1: in you, so I said, I am deeply troubled. Lord.
- 40:15Speaker 1: In my anxiety, I cried out to you. What can
- 40:19Speaker 1: I offer the Lord for all he has done for me.
- 40:24Speaker 1: I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise
- 40:28Speaker 1: the Lord's name for saving me. I will keep my
- 40:32Speaker 1: promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
- 40:38Speaker 1: Saving Lord, we give you all the glory. Please let
- 40:44Speaker 1: your child, soul and body be at rest tonight. Let
- 40:50Speaker 1: them rest in the assurance that you have saved them,
- 40:55Speaker 1: and that they live in your presence, and that you
- 40:58Speaker 1: are all listening to their cries. Feel yourself drifting off
- 41:05Speaker 1: to sleep as I continue reading from Psalm one hundred seventeen. Oh,
- 41:11Speaker 1: praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people,
- 41:18Speaker 1: for his loving kindness prevails over us, and we triumph
- 41:24Speaker 1: and overcome through him, and the truth of the Lord
- 41:30Speaker 1: endures forever. Praise the Lord. Lord. We praise you for
- 41:36Speaker 1: your love and your kindness. We praise you for your truth.
- 41:41Speaker 1: Thank you for promising that your child may overcome all things,
- 41:47Speaker 1: and that you will lead your child in triumph and
- 41:51Speaker 1: into radiant truth. Praise your breathing as I read now
- 41:57Speaker 1: from Psalm one hundred eighteen. Breathe in, give thanks to
- 42:03Speaker 1: the Lord, for he is good. Breathe out His faithful
- 42:10Speaker 1: love endures forever. Breathe in, give thanks to the Lord,
- 42:17Speaker 1: for he is good. Breathe out His faithful love endures forever.

- 42:38Speaker 1: even unto the end. Let your love wrap around this
- 42:43Speaker 1: child tonight as you lead your child into the rest
- 42:48Speaker 1: they need. Continue to breathe deeply as I continue to
- 42:54Speaker 1: pray with the words of the Psalmist and our distress.
- 43:00Speaker 1: Pray to you, Lord, and you answer and set us free.
- 43:05Speaker 1: The Lord is for us, so we will have no fear.
- 43:11Speaker 1: What can mere people do to us? Yes, the Lord
- 43:16Speaker 1: is for us. He will help us. We choose to
- 43:21Speaker 1: take refuge in you, God. It is better to take
- 43:25Speaker 1: refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. It
- 43:29Speaker 1: is better to take refuge in the Lord than to
- 43:33Speaker 1: trust in princes. God, we believe that though we may fail,
- 43:39Speaker 1: your love will never fail. May your child find refuge
- 43:46Speaker 1: in you tonight and trust you completely. Set your child
- 43:51Speaker 1: free from fear. God, you are our hiding place. May
- 43:58Speaker 1: your child hide safely with you tonight and experience the
- 44:02Speaker 1: true rest and peace that only you can give. Sing
- 44:10Speaker 1: deeply into comfort and rest as I continue to read
- 44:15Speaker 1: from Psalm one eighteen. The Lord is my strength and
- 44:22Speaker 1: my song. He has given me victory. Songs of joy
- 44:28Speaker 1: and victory are sung in the camp of the Godly.
- 44:32Speaker 1: The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things.

- 45:07Speaker 1: and the Godly enter there. Thank you for answering my
- 45:13Speaker 1: prayer and giving me victory. Gracious God, you have done
- 45:20Speaker 1: wonderful things. We praise and exalt you, or your love
- 45:27Speaker 1: endures forever. Thank you for allowing us to see your
- 45:32Speaker 1: work in the world. God, I ask now that you
- 45:38Speaker 1: would be with your child as they sleep through this night.

- 45:49Speaker 1: in the morning to a new day that you have made,

- 45:56Speaker 1: they may experience your fresh mercies. In the name of

- 1:02:40Speaker 1: bending down to listen to you. Watch him listen patiently
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: to your concerns. As you do, breathe in God's peace
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: and breathe out your worries. Feel the loving arms of
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: God encircling you. Christ has given his life for you,
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: and nothing can separate you from the love that God
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: has for you. Haste your breathing as I pray for
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: you now. Father, Thank you for the deep, deep love
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: you have for your child, that you would give your

- 1:04:22Speaker 1: words of the Psalmist guide them into a deeper sense
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: of your glory and grace. As I read words of
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: praise for our good God from Psalm one hundred and thirteen,
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: Praise the Lord, O, servants of the Lord, praise the
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: From this time forth and forevermore, from the rising of

- 1:05:05Speaker 1: set today, we praise your name. Guide this child, your servant,
- 1:05:13Speaker 1: into sleep and rest now, so that they may have
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: the strength they need to praise your name in the
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: day to come. Pace your breathing softly as I continue
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: reading from Psalm one hundred and thirteen. The Lord is
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: Who is like the Lord, our God, who is seated
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: on high, who looks far down on the heavens and
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: the earth. He raises the poor from the dust and
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: lifts the needy from the ash. Heap to make them
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: sit with princes and the princes of his people. Lord,
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: you look on your child with love, and you lift
- 1:06:10Speaker 1: them to abide with you as they rest tonight. Please
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: fill them with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: self control, and all the fruits of the spirit. Feel
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: the peace of God lifting you to him. His love
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: lifts you away from your worries and into safety. Listen
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: as I pray with the words of the Psalmist from
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and fifteen, not to us, Oh Lord Lord,
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: not to us, but to your name goes all the
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. We will trust
- 1:07:12Speaker 1: the Lord. You are our helper and our shield. We
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: fear the Lord. We trust the Lord. The Lord remembers
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: us and will bless us. He will bless those who
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: fear the Lord, both great and lowly. May the Lord
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: richly bless both you and your children. May you be
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: blessed by the Lord who made heaven and earth. Father,

- 1:08:17Speaker 1: on you, blessing you see him bending down to listen
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: to you and watching over you as you rest. Hace
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: your breathing as we pray these words from Psalm one
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: hundred sixteen. I love the Lord because he hears my
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: voice and my prayer for mercy, because he bends down
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: to listen. I will pray as long as I have breath.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: Death wrapped its ropes around me. The terrors of the
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow. Then
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: I called on the name of the Lord. Please, Lord,
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: save me. How kind the Lord is, how good he is,
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: so merciful, This God of ours, the Lord protects those
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: of childlike faith. I was facing death, and he saved me.
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: Merciful God, thank you for saving your child. When the
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: cords of sin and death entangled them, you reached down
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: to rescue. Thank you for your mercy. Thank you for
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: watching over us and listening to our cries for help.
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: I ask that now you would hold this child close
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: like a mother hen with her chicks. Gather this child
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: under the shelter of your wings. Feel your breathing steady
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: and secure, your heart beating gently with the grace of God.
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: And listen as I pray these words from Psalm one
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: hundred sixteen. Let my soul be at rest again, For
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: the Lord has been good to me. He has saved
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: And so I walk in the Lord's presence as I
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: live here on earth. I believed in you, so I said,
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: I am deeply troubled. Lord. In my anxiety, I cried
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: out to you, What can I offer the Lord for
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: all he has done for me. I will lift up
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: the cup of salvation and praise the Lord's name for
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: saving me. I will keep my promises to the Lord
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: in the presence of all his people. Saving Lord, we
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: give you all the glory. Please let your child, soul
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: and body be at rest tonight. Let them rest in
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: the assurance that you have saved them, and that they
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: live in your presence, and that you are always listening
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: to their cries. Feel yourself drifting off to sleep as
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: I continue reading from Psalm one hundred and seventeen. Oh,
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: praise the Lord, all you nations, Praise him, all you people,
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: for his loving kindness prevails over us, and we triumph
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: and overcome through him, and the truth of the Lord
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: endures forever. Praise the Lord. Lord, We praise you for
- 1:12:02Speaker 1: your love and your kindness. We praise you for your truth.
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: Thank you for promising that your child may overcome all things,
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: and that you will lead your child in triumph and
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: into radiant truth. Pace your breathing as I read now
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: from Psalm one hundred and eighteen. Breathe in, give thanks
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: to the Lord, for he is good. Breathe out. His
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: faithful love endures forever. Breathe in, give thanks to the Lord,
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: for he is good. Breathe out. His faithful love endures forever.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: Let all who fear the Lord say with us, his
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: faithful love endures forever. Lord, your love is with us
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: even unto the end. Let your love wrap around this
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: child tonight as you lead your child into the rest
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: they need. Continue to breathe deeply, as I continue to
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: pray with the words of the Psalmist. In our distress,
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: we pray to you Lord, and you answer and set
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: us free. The Lord is for us, so we will
- 1:13:35Speaker 1: have no fear. What can mere people do to us? Yes,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: the Lord is for us. He will help us. We
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: choose to take refuge in You. God. It is better
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: It is better to take refuge in the Lord than
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: to trust in princes. God, we believe that though we
- 1:14:04Speaker 1: may fail, your love will never fail. May your child
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: find refuge in you tonight and trust you completely. Set
- 1:14:17Speaker 1: your child free from fear. God, you are our hiding place.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: May your child hide safely with you tonight and experience
- 1:14:28Speaker 1: the true rest and peace that only you can give.
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: Sink deeply into comfort and rest as I continue to
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: read from Psalm one eighteen. The Lord is my strength
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: and my song. He has given me victory. Songs of
- 1:14:54Speaker 1: joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly.
- 1:14:59Speaker 1: The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things.
- 1:15:05Speaker 1: Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: of the Godly. The strong right arm of the Lord
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: has done glorious things. I will live to tell what
- 1:15:19Speaker 1: the Lord has done. Open for me the gates where
- 1:15:24Speaker 1: the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank
- 1:15:28Speaker 1: the Lord. These gates lead to the presence of the Lord,
- 1:15:34Speaker 1: and the Godly enter there. I thank you for answering
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: my prayer and giving me victory. Gracious God, you have
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: done wonderful things. We praise and exalt you for your
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: love endures forever. Thank you for allowing us to see

- 1:16:04Speaker 1: you would be with your child as they sleep through
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: this night. Give them peaceful dreams, restore their spirit, and
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: wake them in the morning to a new day that
- 1:16:17Speaker 1: you have made, that they may rejoice and be glad
- 1:16:22Speaker 1: in it, that they may experience your fresh mercies. In

- 1:16:51Speaker 1: the Lord is with you. He promises to watch over
- 1:16:55Speaker 1: you as you sleep tonight. As you lay in comfort,
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: take a few moments to relax your body. Breathe then
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: gently and fill yourself with the breath of life. Relax
- 1:17:11Speaker 1: and breathe deeply until all your muscles are free from
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: anxiety and trouble. Relax your legs and back. May God
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: lift off all your burdens and carry the weight of
- 1:17:26Speaker 1: His work for you. Let your toes relax. May God
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: strengthen and guide your feet for new paths for tomorrow.
- 1:17:38Speaker 1: If any worries come to mind, release them to God.
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred and sixteen says, because the Lord bends
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: down to listen, I will pray as long as I
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: have breath. Imagine God bending down to listen to you.
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: Watch him listen patience to your concerns. As you do,
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: breathe in God's peace and breathe out your worries. Feel
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: the loving arms of God encircling you. Christ has given

- 1:20:42Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen. The Lord is high above all nations,
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: and his glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord,
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: our God, who is seated on high, who looks far

- 1:21:10Speaker 1: ash heap to make them sit with princes and the
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: princes of his people. Lord, you look on your child
