- 2:07Speaker 2: of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, of Ruth and Naomi of David,
- 2:13Speaker 2: and Solomon of Peter, James and John of Mary, and
- 2:19Speaker 2: Martha of Paul. He's also your God. He kept his

- 2:37Speaker 2: He knows everything about your past and your presence. He

- 2:49Speaker 2: a plan for your life. The prophet Jeremiah was overwhelmed
- 2:57Speaker 2: by the thought of God's loving kindness. This is what
- 3:02Speaker 2: he wrote in Lamentations chapter three. The steadfast love of
- 3:07Speaker 2: the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to an end.
- 3:14Speaker 2: They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. He
- 3:23Speaker 2: loves you, He cares for you. You can trust him.
- 3:32Speaker 2: Before we begin our story, let's take a moment to
- 3:36Speaker 2: make sure everything around you is just right for a
- 3:40Speaker 2: perfect time of sleeping. Maybe you need to take a
- 3:45Speaker 2: moment to fluff your pillow, to tend to your bedding,
- 3:50Speaker 2: to close the windows, or to check on the temperature
- 3:53Speaker 2: in the room. If needed, you can pause this story
- 4:00Speaker 2: start it back right here. When you return, stretch out
- 4:07Speaker 2: your arms and your legs, your hands and feet, wiggle
- 4:15Speaker 2: your fingers and your toes. Now you get to lay
- 4:23Speaker 2: back and recharge your mind. And body. Enjoy the sensation
- 4:31Speaker 2: of your muscles stretching out that your neck and your
- 4:36Speaker 2: head sink into the pillow. Take a long, deep breath,
- 4:46Speaker 2: inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Do
- 4:56Speaker 2: this again, only this time ho hold your breath for
- 5:01Speaker 2: a few seconds. One two three, Now exhale. Take another
- 5:15Speaker 2: deep breath, and as you do, imagine inhaling the peace
- 5:20Speaker 2: of God, the joy of God. One two three, Now exhale.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Imagine you are exhaling all the problems of the day,
- 5:39Speaker 2: your problems at work, at school, at home. Place all
- 5:46Speaker 2: your burdens at the feet of the One True God.
- 5:51Speaker 2: He's the god who created the highest mountains in the
- 5:54Speaker 2: deepest seas. He made the sun, the moon, the star.
- 6:02Speaker 2: He's a big God who never sleeps nor slumbers. He's
- 6:08Speaker 2: a god who redeems, who restores. Let him carry your burdens,
- 6:15Speaker 2: Let him fix whatever is broken in your life. Right now,
- 6:23Speaker 2: you're resting in the God who promised to give you
- 6:26Speaker 2: peace and joy, who promised to take care of your needs,
- 6:31Speaker 2: who promised to protect you and to give you rest.
- 6:37Speaker 2: He's the God who is always faithful, who always keeps
- 6:42Speaker 2: his promises. Rest in his loving care, rest in his promises.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Father God, thank you for this child of yours. Thank
- 7:01Speaker 2: you for creating them, for loving them, for bringing them
- 7:06Speaker 2: to this moment with you. Thank you for their many blessings.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Father God, I pray you will protect this child of yours.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I ask that you will surround them with your presence,
- 7:25Speaker 2: and you will give them your supernatural peace. Take their burdens,
- 7:32Speaker 2: their trials, carry them tonight, repair whatever is broken in
- 7:40Speaker 2: their lives. Father God, I ask that you will sustain
- 7:48Speaker 2: them and protect them. Like a loving mother or father
- 7:53Speaker 2: rocking a tiny baby to sleep, I ask that you
- 7:57Speaker 2: will rock this child of yours to sleep in your
- 8:00Speaker 2: loving arms, hold them close, comfort them with your presence
- 8:07Speaker 2: and your promises. Father God, your word says in Psalmn
- 8:14Speaker 2: for verse eight, in peace, I will both lie down
- 8:19Speaker 2: and sleep for you alone. O Lord, make me dwell
- 8:24Speaker 2: in safety. Now, Lord, give this child of yours sweet dreams.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Help them to trust you, to feel your presence in
- 8:37Speaker 2: a mighty way, as your word says, make them dwell
- 8:43Speaker 2: in safety. It's in Jesus's name that I pray. Amen.
- 8:57Speaker 2: The Bible is filled with stories of God's promises of
- 9:01Speaker 2: God's faithfulness to his people. What he said yesterday is
- 9:07Speaker 2: true today and will be true tomorrow. He promised to
- 9:13Speaker 2: rescue his people from Egypt, to give them a new
- 9:16Speaker 2: land flowing with milk and honey, and to protect them
- 9:21Speaker 2: as they faced enemies all around. He promised to save
- 9:27Speaker 2: the world through a messiah who would be descended from David.
- 9:34Speaker 2: Each time God kept his promises to his people. The
- 9:40Speaker 2: same promise as God made to his people in the
- 9:42Speaker 2: Old and New Testament are for you too. In Isaiah
- 9:49Speaker 2: forty one, verse ten, he promises to cover you with
- 9:53Speaker 2: his protection. Fear not, for I am with you. Be
- 10:01Speaker 2: not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
- 10:06Speaker 2: I will keep you. I will uphold you with my
- 10:08Speaker 2: righteous right hand. In Matthew eleven twenty eight through thirty,
- 10:16Speaker 2: he promises rest and comfort. Come to me all who
- 10:23Speaker 2: labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for
- 10:32Speaker 2: I in gentle and lowly in heart, and you will
- 10:35Speaker 2: find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy,
- 10:42Speaker 2: and my burden is light. And John fourteen twenty seven,
- 10:50Speaker 2: God promises peace, peace. I leave with you my peace.
- 10:56Speaker 2: I give to you. Not as the world gives, do
- 11:00Speaker 2: I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled,
- 11:06Speaker 2: neither let them be afraid and tewod Corinthians five seventeen.
- 11:15Speaker 2: God promises you new life. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
- 11:23Speaker 2: he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold,
- 11:29Speaker 2: the new has come. And in Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven,
- 11:37Speaker 2: God promises to give you hope and a future. For
- 11:42Speaker 2: I know the plans I have for you, declares the
- 11:45Speaker 2: Lord plans for welfare and not for evil, to give
- 11:51Speaker 2: you a future and a hope. God always keeps his promises.
- 12:02Speaker 2: He promises to protect you, to comfort you, to surround
- 12:06Speaker 2: you with his peace. He promises new life and a future.
- 12:16Speaker 2: He promises to give you.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Hope.
- 12:22Speaker 2: The ancient Israelites often sang about God's faithfulness. They knew
- 12:27Speaker 2: that the same God who saved them in the past
- 12:31Speaker 2: was the same God who would watch over them in
- 12:33Speaker 2: the future. Listen as I read Psalm one, an ancient
- 12:39Speaker 2: song that declares God's faithfulness. I will exalt you, my God,
- 12:47Speaker 2: the King. I will praise your name forever endeavor every day.
- 12:53Speaker 2: I will praise you and extol your name. Forever endeavor.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise his greatness,
- 13:04Speaker 2: no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another.
- 13:11Speaker 2: They tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the
- 13:15Speaker 2: glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on
- 13:20Speaker 2: your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your
- 13:24Speaker 2: awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. They
- 13:29Speaker 2: celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
- 13:36Speaker 2: The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and
- 13:40Speaker 2: rich in love. The Lord is good to all. He
- 13:46Speaker 2: has compassion on all. He has made all your works
- 13:51Speaker 2: praise you, Lord. Your faithful people extol you. They tell
- 13:58Speaker 2: of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,
- 14:02Speaker 2: so that all people may know of your mighty acts
- 14:05Speaker 2: and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is
- 14:10Speaker 2: an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
- 14:18Speaker 2: The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises, and faithful
- 14:23Speaker 2: and all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall,
- 14:27Speaker 2: and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes
- 14:32Speaker 2: of all look to you, and you give them their food.
- 14:37Speaker 2: At the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy
- 14:42Speaker 2: the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous
- 14:47Speaker 2: in all his ways, and faithful in all he does.
- 14:52Speaker 2: The Lord is near to all who call on him,
- 14:57Speaker 2: to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills
- 15:02Speaker 2: the desires of those who fear him. He hears their
- 15:05Speaker 2: cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who
- 15:11Speaker 2: love him. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Let every creature praise his holy name. Reverend. Ever, those
- 15:27Speaker 2: words were true then, and they're true now. The Lord
- 15:33Speaker 2: is trustworthy and all he promises, and faithful in all
- 15:39Speaker 2: he does. He always keeps his word. He always follows through.
- 15:47Speaker 2: Right now he is holding you in his loving arms,
- 15:52Speaker 2: promising you protection, comfort and peace. He promising you new
- 16:01Speaker 2: life and a future and a hope. He will never
- 16:06Speaker 2: leave you. He'll always be by your side. Lamentations three,
- 16:14Speaker 2: verses twenty two and twenty three says the steadfast love
- 16:19Speaker 2: of the Lord never ceases, as mercies never come to
- 16:24Speaker 2: an end. They are new every morning. Great is your
- 16:30Speaker 2: faithfulness as you continue to rest in the faithfulness of God,
- 16:38Speaker 2: Listen to the peaceful words of Psalm eighty six, embrace
- 16:43Speaker 2: its promises. Hear me Lord, and answer me, for I
- 16:51Speaker 2: am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am
- 16:55Speaker 2: faithful to you. Save your servant who trusts in you.
- 17:01Speaker 2: You are my God. Have mercy on me, Lord, for
- 17:06Speaker 2: I call to you all day long. Bring joy to
- 17:11Speaker 2: your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
- 17:15Speaker 2: You Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love. To
- 17:18Speaker 2: all who call on you. Among the gods, there is
- 17:23Speaker 2: none like you, Lord. No deeds can compare with yours.
- 17:29Speaker 2: All the nations you have made will come and worship
- 17:32Speaker 2: before you. Lord. They will bring glory to your name,
- 17:36Speaker 2: for you are great and do marvelous deeds. You alone
- 17:42Speaker 2: are God. Teach me your way, Lord, that I may
- 17:47Speaker 2: rely on your faithfulness. Give me an undivided heart, that
- 17:51Speaker 2: I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord,
- 17:56Speaker 2: my God, with all my heart. I will glorify your
- 18:01Speaker 2: name forever. For great is your love toward me. You
- 18:06Speaker 2: have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of
- 18:09Speaker 2: the dead. You Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
- 18:14Speaker 2: slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. That ancient
- 18:23Speaker 2: psalmness just as true to day as it was thousands
- 18:28Speaker 2: of years ago. God is abounding in love and faithfulness.
- 18:34Speaker 2: He does marvelous deeds. He's the God who never lies,
- 18:39Speaker 2: who always keeps his promises, to protect you, to comfort you,
- 18:44Speaker 2: to give you peace, a new life, and a future.

- 19:42Speaker 2: Continue your love to those who know you. Your righteousness
- 19:46Speaker 2: to the upright and heart. Psalm thirty three. Sing joyfully
- 19:54Speaker 2: to the Lord, you Righteous. It is fitting for the
- 19:58Speaker 2: upright to praise him. Raise the Lord with the harp,
- 20:04Speaker 2: make music to him on the ten stringed lyre sing
- 20:09Speaker 2: to him a new song. Play skillfully and shout for joy.
- 20:14Speaker 2: For the word of the Lord is right and true.
- 20:17Speaker 2: He is faithful in all he does, The Lord loves
- 20:22Speaker 2: righteousness and justice. The earth is full of his unfailing love.
- 20:28Speaker 2: By the word of the Lord, the heavens were made
- 20:32Speaker 2: their starry host. By the breath of his mouth. He
- 20:36Speaker 2: gathers the waters of the sea into jars, He puts
- 20:41Speaker 2: the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Let all the people of the world revere him. For
- 20:51Speaker 2: he spoke, and it came to be. He commanded, and
- 20:56Speaker 2: it stood firm. Lands of the Lord stand firm forever
- 21:04Speaker 2: the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is
- 21:09Speaker 2: the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he
- 21:12Speaker 2: chose for his inheritance. We wait in hope for the Lord.
- 21:17Speaker 2: He is our help and our shield. In him, our

- 22:30Speaker 2: Lord among the heavenly beings and the Council of the
- 22:34Speaker 2: Holy Ones, God has greatly feared. He is more awesome

- 23:15Speaker 2: founded the world and all that is in it. You
- 23:18Speaker 2: created the north and the South. Tabor and Hermann sing
- 23:24Speaker 2: for joy at your name. Your arm is endowed with power,

- 24:32Speaker 2: and faithfulness go before him. He has reserved a place
- 24:37Speaker 2: for you in Heaven. Verse Peter, chapter one says, in

- 24:49Speaker 2: a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
- 24:53Speaker 2: the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil,
- 24:59Speaker 2: or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
- 25:05Speaker 2: who through faith are shielded by God's power until the

- 25:14Speaker 2: in the last time. God is faithful. He has promised

- 26:42Speaker 2: If your law had not been my delight, I would
- 26:46Speaker 2: have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts,
- 26:52Speaker 2: for by them you have preserved my life. Save me,
- 26:58Speaker 2: for I am yours. I've sought out your precepts. Oh
- 27:03Speaker 2: how I love your law. I meditate on it all
- 27:07Speaker 2: day long. Your commands are always with me, and make
- 27:12Speaker 2: me wiser than my enemies. I have more insight than
- 27:16Speaker 2: all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I
- 27:21Speaker 2: have more understanding than the elders. For I obey your precepts.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I have kept my feet from every evil path so
- 27:33Speaker 2: that I might obey your word. I have not departed
- 27:37Speaker 2: from your laws, for you yourself have taught me how
- 27:42Speaker 2: sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey
- 27:45Speaker 2: to my mouth. I gain understanding from your precepts. Therefore
- 27:52Speaker 2: I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp
- 27:57Speaker 2: from my feet, a light on my path. I have
- 28:02Speaker 2: taken an oath and confirmed it that I will follow
- 28:06Speaker 2: your righteous loss. I have suffered much. Preserve my life, Lord,
- 28:14Speaker 2: according to your word. Except Lord, the willing praise of
- 28:19Speaker 2: my mouth, and teach me your laws. Though I constantly
- 28:24Speaker 2: take my life in my hands, I will not forget
- 28:28Speaker 2: your law. Your statutes are my heritage forever. They are
- 28:34Speaker 2: the joy of my heart. My heart is set on
- 28:38Speaker 2: keeping your decrees to the very end. Psalm one hundred.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Shout for joy to the Lord. All the earth. Worship
- 28:50Speaker 2: the Lord with gladness. Come before him with joyful songs.
- 28:56Speaker 2: Know that the Lord is God. It is he who
- 28:59Speaker 2: made us, and we are his. We are his people,
- 29:05Speaker 2: the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
- 29:11Speaker 2: in his courts with praise, Give thanks to him and
- 29:15Speaker 2: praise his name. For the Lord is good, and his
- 29:20Speaker 2: love endures forever, his faithfulness through all generations. Psalm one

- 29:49Speaker 2: the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, Who
- 29:54Speaker 2: satisfies your desires with good things, so that your youth

- 33:17Speaker 2: the world through a messiah who would be descended from David.

- 33:30Speaker 2: same promise as God made to his people in the
- 33:32Speaker 2: Old and New Testament, are for you to In Isaiah

- 1:18:49Speaker 2: You are the God who keeps his promises. Father, I

- 1:19:08Speaker 2: give them sweet dreams. In Jesus name, I pray Amen.
- 1:19:18Speaker 2: The God of Abor, Him, Isaac, and Jacob is watching
- 1:19:24Speaker 2: over you. He's the god of Noah and Moses, of
- 1:19:28Speaker 2: Ruth and Naomi, of Peter, James and John, and of
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: Mary and Martha and Paul. The same God who promised
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: to protect and comfort them is the same God who
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: promised to protect and comfort you. He kept his promises
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: to them, and he will do the same for you.
- 1:19:55Speaker 2: He is faithful. He's a God of peace and love, joy.
- 1:20:03Speaker 2: There is none like him. He is the one true
- 1:20:08Speaker 2: and living God. Rest in his promises. He is faithful.
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: Let's listen again to this sleep story about our faithful God.
- 1:20:27Speaker 2: The Bible is filled with stories of God's promises, of
- 1:20:32Speaker 2: God's faithfulness to his people. What he said yesterday is
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: true today, and will be true tomorrow. He promised to
- 1:20:43Speaker 2: rescue his people from Egypt, to give them a new
- 1:20:46Speaker 2: land flowing with milk and honey, and to protect them
- 1:20:52Speaker 2: as they faced enemies all around. He promised to save
- 1:20:57Speaker 2: the world through a messiah who would be descended from David.
- 1:21:04Speaker 2: Each time God kept his promises to his people. The
- 1:21:10Speaker 2: same promise as God made to his people in the
- 1:21:13Speaker 2: Old and New Testament, are for you too. In Isaiah
- 1:21:20Speaker 2: forty one, verse ten, he promises to cover you with
- 1:21:23Speaker 2: his protection. Fear not, for I am with you. Be
- 1:21:31Speaker 2: not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: I will keep you, I will uphold you with my
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: righteous right hand. In Matthew eleven twenty eight through thirty,
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: he promises rest and comfort. Come to me all who
- 1:21:53Speaker 2: labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: Take my yoke on you and learn from me, for
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy
- 1:22:12Speaker 2: and my burden is light. In John fourteen twenty seven.
- 1:22:20Speaker 2: God promises peace. Peace I leave with you my peace.
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: I give to you. Not as the world gives, do
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled,
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: neither let them be afraid and tewod Corinthians five seventeen.
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: God promises you new life. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold,
- 1:22:59Speaker 2: the new has come. And in Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven,
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: God promises to give you hope and a future. For
- 1:23:13Speaker 2: I know the plans I have for you, declares the
- 1:23:16Speaker 2: Lord lands for welfare and not for evil, to give
- 1:23:21Speaker 2: you a future and a hope. God always keeps his promises.
- 1:23:32Speaker 2: He promises to protect you, to comfort you, to surround
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: you with his peace. He promises new life and a future.
- 1:23:46Speaker 2: He promises to give you.
- 1:23:49Speaker 1: Hope.
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: The ancient Israelites often saying about God's faithfulness. They knew
- 1:23:58Speaker 2: that the same God who saved them in the past
- 1:24:01Speaker 2: was the same God who would watch over them in
- 1:24:03Speaker 2: the future. Listen as I read Psalm one five, an
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: ancient song that declares God's faithfulness. I will exalt you,
- 1:24:17Speaker 2: my God, the King. I will praise your name, forever endeavor.
- 1:24:23Speaker 2: Every day I will praise you and extol your name,
- 1:24:26Speaker 2: forever endeavor. Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise.
- 1:24:33Speaker 2: His greatness, no one can fathom. One generation commends your
- 1:24:40Speaker 2: works to another. They tell of your mighty acts. They
- 1:24:45Speaker 2: speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I
- 1:24:49Speaker 2: will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the
- 1:24:54Speaker 2: power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your
- 1:24:57Speaker 2: great deeds, celebrate your abundant goodness, and joyfully sing of
- 1:25:03Speaker 2: your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger,
- 1:25:11Speaker 2: and rich in love. The Lord is good to all.
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: He has compassion on all. He has made all your works.
- 1:25:21Speaker 2: Praise you, Lord. Your faithful people extol you. They tell
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: of the glory of your kingdom, and speak of your might,
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: so that all people may know of your mighty acts
- 1:25:35Speaker 2: and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises, and faithful
- 1:25:53Speaker 2: and all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall,
- 1:25:58Speaker 2: and lifts up all who are about down. The eyes
- 1:26:02Speaker 2: of all look to you, and you give them their food.
- 1:26:07Speaker 2: At the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy
- 1:26:13Speaker 2: the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous
- 1:26:18Speaker 2: in all his ways, and faithful in all he does.
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: The Lord is near to all who call on him,
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills
- 1:26:32Speaker 2: the desires of those who fear him. He hears their
- 1:26:36Speaker 2: cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who
- 1:26:41Speaker 2: love him. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
- 1:26:48Speaker 2: Let every creature praise his holy name, Preverend Ever. Those
- 1:26:58Speaker 2: words were true then, and they're true now. The Lord
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: is trustworthy and all he promises, and faithful in all
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: he does. He always keeps his word. He always follows through.
- 1:27:18Speaker 2: Right now, he is holding you in his loving arms,
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: promising you protection, comfort and peace. He's promising you new
- 1:27:31Speaker 2: life and a future and a hope. He will never
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: leave you. He'll always be by your side. Lamentations three,
- 1:27:45Speaker 2: verses twenty two and twenty three says, the steadfast love
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never come to
- 1:27:54Speaker 2: an end. They are new every morning. Great is your

- 1:28:08Speaker 2: listen to the peaceful words of Psalm eighty six. Embrace
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: its promises. Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I

- 1:29:02Speaker 2: before you, Lord. They will bring glory to your name,
- 1:29:07Speaker 2: for you are great and do marvelous deeds. You alone
- 1:29:12Speaker 2: are God. Teach me your way, Lord, that I may

- 1:29:39Speaker 2: the dead. You Lord, are a compassionate and gracious god,
- 1:29:45Speaker 2: slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. That ancient
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: Psalmness just as true today as it was thousands of
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: years ago. God is abounding in love and faithfulness. He
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: does marvelous deeds. He's the God who never lies, who
- 1:30:10Speaker 2: always keeps his promises, to protect you, to comfort you,
- 1:30:15Speaker 2: to give you peace, a new life into future. He's
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: always faithful. Let's continue our journey through the Psalms Psalm
- 1:30:27Speaker 2: thirty six. Your love, Lord reaches to the heavens, Your
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the highest mountains.

- 1:31:24Speaker 2: to the Lord, you Righteous. It is fitting for the

- 1:31:53Speaker 2: righteousness and justice. The earth is full of his unfailing love.
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: By the word of the Lord, the heavens were made
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: their starry host. By the breath of his mouth, he
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: gathers the waters of the sea into jars. He puts
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord.
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: Let all the people of the world revere him. For
- 1:32:22Speaker 2: he spoke, and it came to be. He commanded, and
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: it stood firm. The plans of the Lord stand firm
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: forever the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: he chose for his inheritance. We wait in hope for
- 1:32:47Speaker 2: the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him,
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as
- 1:33:01Speaker 2: we put our hope in you Psam eighty nine. I
- 1:33:08Speaker 2: will sing of the Lord's great love forever. With my mouth,
- 1:33:12Speaker 2: I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. I
- 1:33:18Speaker 2: will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you
- 1:33:22Speaker 2: have established your faithfulness in heaven itself. You said, I
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: have made a covenant with my chosen one. I have
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: sworn to David, my servant, I will establish your line
- 1:33:39Speaker 2: forever and make your throne firm through all generations. The
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: Heaven's praise your wonder's Lord, your faithfulness too in the
- 1:33:51Speaker 2: assembly of the Holy Ones. For who in the skies
- 1:33:56Speaker 2: above can compare with the Lord who is like the
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: Lord among the heavenly beings and the Council of the
- 1:34:05Speaker 2: Holy Ones, God has greatly feared. He is more awesome
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: than all who surround him. Who is like you, Lord
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: God Almighty. You Lord, are mighty, and your faithfulness surround you.
- 1:34:26Speaker 2: You rule over the surging sea. When its waves mount up,
- 1:34:31Speaker 2: you still them with your strong arm. You scattered your enemies.
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: The heavens are yours, and yours also the earth. You
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: founded the world and all that is in it. You
- 1:34:48Speaker 2: created the North and the South. Tabor and Herman sing
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: for joy at your name. Your arm is endowed with power,
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: Your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. Righteousness and
- 1:35:07Speaker 2: justice are the foundation of your throne. Love and faithfulness
- 1:35:12Speaker 2: go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to
- 1:35:18Speaker 2: acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence. Lord,
- 1:35:25Speaker 2: They rejoice in your name all day long. They celebrate
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: your righteousness, for you are their glory and strength, And
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: by your favor you exalt our horn. Indeed, our shield
- 1:35:42Speaker 2: belongs to the Lord, our King, to the Holy One
- 1:35:46Speaker 2: of Israel. God is faithful. He's always by your side.
- 1:35:56Speaker 2: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Love
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: and faithfulness go before him. He has reserved a place
- 1:36:07Speaker 2: for you in heaven. Verse Peter, chapter one says, in
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: his great mercy, he has given us new birth, into
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil,
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: who through faith are shielded by God's power until the
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed
- 1:36:45Speaker 2: in the last time. God is faithful. He has promised
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: you a new life and a future. He has promised
- 1:36:57Speaker 2: you hope. Let's continue our journey through the Psalms Psalm
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: fifty seven. My heart, Oh God, is steadfast, My heart
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: is steadfast. I will sing and make music. Awake my soul,
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: awake harp and liar, I will awake the dawn. I
- 1:37:26Speaker 2: will praise you, Lord among the nations. I will sing
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: of you among the peoples. For great is your love,
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: reaching to the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: Be exalted, Oh God, above the heavens. Let your glory
- 1:37:46Speaker 2: be over all the earth Psalm one nineteen. Your word,
- 1:37:54Speaker 2: Lord is eternal. It stands firm in the heavens. Your
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: faithfulness continues through all generations. You established the earth, and
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: it endures. Your laws endure to this day. For all
- 1:38:10Speaker 2: things serve you. If your law had not been my delight,
- 1:38:16Speaker 2: I would have perished in my affliction. I will never
- 1:38:20Speaker 2: forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.
- 1:38:26Speaker 2: Save me, for I am yours. I have sought out
- 1:38:31Speaker 2: your precepts. Oh how I love your law. I meditate
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: on it all day long. Your commands are always with me,
- 1:38:42Speaker 2: and make me wiser than my enemies. I have more
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.
- 1:38:51Speaker 2: I have more understanding than the elders. For I obey
- 1:38:56Speaker 2: your precepts to my feet from every evil path, so
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: that I might obey your word. I have not departed
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: from your laws. For you yourself have taught me. How
- 1:39:12Speaker 2: sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey
- 1:39:15Speaker 2: to my mouth. I gain understanding from your precepts. Therefore
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: from my feet, a light on my path. I have
- 1:39:33Speaker 2: taken an oath and confirmed it that I will follow
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: your righteous loss. I have suffered much. Preserve my life, Lord,
- 1:39:44Speaker 2: according to your word. Except Lord, the willing praise of
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: my mouth, and teach me your laws. Though I constantly
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: take my life in my hands, I will not forget
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: your law. Your statutes are my heritage forever. They are
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: the joy of my heart. My heart is set on
- 1:40:08Speaker 2: keeping your decrees to the very end. Psalm one hundred,
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: Shout for joy to the Lord. All the earth. Worship
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: the Lord with gladness, Come before him with joyful songs.
- 1:40:26Speaker 2: Know that the Lord is God. It is he who
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: made us, and we are his. We are his people,
- 1:40:35Speaker 2: the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
- 1:40:42Speaker 2: in his courts with praise, Give thanks to him and
- 1:40:46Speaker 2: praise his name. For the Lord is good, and his
- 1:40:50Speaker 2: love endures forever, his faithfulness through all generations Psalm one
- 1:41:00Speaker 2: hundred three. Praise the Lord my soul, all my inmost being,
- 1:41:07Speaker 2: Praise his holy name. Praise the Lord my soul, and
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your sins
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: and heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from
- 1:41:19Speaker 2: the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, Who
- 1:41:24Speaker 2: satisfies your desires with good things, so that your youth
- 1:41:29Speaker 2: is renewed like the eagles. The Lord has established his
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. Praise
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do
- 1:41:44Speaker 2: his bidding, who obey his word. Praise the Lord all
- 1:41:50Speaker 2: his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
- 1:41:55Speaker 2: Praise the Lord all his works everywhere in his dominion.
- 1:42:01Speaker 2: Praise the Lord my soul. God is faithful, He keeps
- 1:42:10Speaker 2: his promises, rest and his love for you. Let me
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: pray for you, Dear Father, Thank you for your faithfulness
- 1:42:24Speaker 2: to this child of yours. Thank you for loving them,
- 1:42:28Speaker 2: for protecting them, for giving them peace. You've promised them,
- 1:42:34Speaker 2: new life and the future you have promised them hope.
- 1:42:39Speaker 2: You are the God who keeps his promises. Father, I
- 1:42:47Speaker 2: asked that you'll surround them with your supernatural presence, hold
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: them close while they sleep. Please give them peace, for rest,
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: give them sweet dreams. In Jesus name, I pray Amen.
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: The God of Avor, Him, Isaac and Jacob is watching
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: over you. He is the God of Noah and Moses,
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: of Ruth and Naomi, of Peter, James and John, and
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: of Mary and Martha and Paul. The same God who
- 1:43:28Speaker 2: promised to protect and comfort them is the same God
- 1:43:33Speaker 2: who promised to protect and comfort you. He kept his
- 1:43:39Speaker 2: promises to them, and he will do the same for you.
- 1:43:45Speaker 2: He is faithful. He's a God of peace and love
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: and joy. There is none like him. He is the one,
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: true and living God. Rest in his promises. He is faithful.
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: You serve a God who keeps his promises, a god
- 1:44:18Speaker 2: you can trust. He promised peace and protection. He promised
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: to give you comfort, salvation, and a new life. He
- 1:44:31Speaker 2: promised to supply all your needs. He promised to finish
- 1:44:35Speaker 2: the work he started in you. He promised to give
- 1:44:39Speaker 2: you rest. Psalm one, verse thirteen says this the Lord
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: is trustworthy in all his promises, and faithful and all
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: he does. God's promises are trustworthy. They are true. God
- 1:45:05Speaker 2: never lies. As you listen, You'll fall asleep resting in
- 1:45:13Speaker 2: the promises and faithfulness of the one True God who
- 1:45:17Speaker 2: rescued you, who saved you, who has a plan for
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: your life, a plan to prosper you and not to
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: harm you. A plan to give you hope and a future.
- 1:45:30Speaker 2: You'll fall asleep resting and the promises of the God
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: who even now is preparing a place for you in
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: his heaven. He's the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
- 1:45:46Speaker 2: of Ruth, and Naomi of David, and Solomon of Peter,
- 1:45:51Speaker 2: James and John of Mary and Martha of Paul. He's
- 1:45:59Speaker 2: also your God. He kept his promises to them, and
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: he will keep his promises to you. He knows everything
- 1:46:12Speaker 2: about your past and your present. He knows everything about
- 1:46:18Speaker 2: your future. He loves you, He has a plan for
- 1:46:25Speaker 2: your life. The prophet Jeremiah was overwhelmed by the thought
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: of God's loving kindness. This is what he wrote in
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: Lamentations chapter three. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: His mercies never come to an end. They are new
- 1:46:50Speaker 2: every morning. Great is your faithfulness. He loves you, He
- 1:47:01Speaker 2: cares for you. You can trust Him. Before we begin
- 1:47:08Speaker 2: our story, let's take a moment to make sure everything
- 1:47:12Speaker 2: around you is just right for a perfect time of sleeping.
- 1:47:19Speaker 2: Maybe you need to take a moment to fluff your pillow,
- 1:47:23Speaker 2: to tend to your bedding, to close the windows, or
- 1:47:27Speaker 2: to check on the temperature in the room. If needed,
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: you can pause this story and start it back right
- 1:47:35Speaker 2: here when you return. Stretch out your arms and your legs,
- 1:47:45Speaker 2: your hands and feet, wiggle your fingers and your toes.
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: Now you get to lay back and recharge your mind
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: and body. Enjoy the sensation of your muscles stretching out.
- 1:48:10Speaker 2: Let your neck and your head sink into the pillow.
- 1:48:16Speaker 2: Take a long, deep breath, inhaling through your nose and
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: exhaling through your mouth. Do this again, only this time
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: hold your breath for a few seconds. One two three,
- 1:48:45Speaker 2: Now exhale. Take another deep breath, and as you do,
- 1:48:53Speaker 2: imagine inhaling the peace of God, the joy of God.
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: One two three, now exhale. Imagine you are exhaling all
- 1:49:11Speaker 2: the problems of the day, your problems at work, at school,
- 1:49:17Speaker 2: at home, place, all your burdens at the feet of
- 1:49:22Speaker 2: the One True God. He's the God who created the
- 1:49:27Speaker 2: highest mountains and the deepest seas. He made the sun,
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: the moon, the stars. He's a big God who never
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: sleeps nor slumbers. He's a god who redeems, who restores.
- 1:49:47Speaker 2: Let him carry your burdens, Let him fix whatever is
- 1:49:51Speaker 2: broken in your life. Right now, you're resting in the
- 1:49:59Speaker 2: God promised to give you peace and joy, who promised
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: to take care of your needs, who promised to protect
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: you and to give you rest. He's the God who
- 1:50:13Speaker 2: is always faithful, who always keeps his promises. Rest in
- 1:50:20Speaker 2: his loving care. Rest in his promises. Father God, thank
- 1:50:32Speaker 2: you for this child of yours. Thank you for creating them,
- 1:50:38Speaker 2: for loving them, for bringing them to this moment with you.
- 1:50:45Speaker 2: Thank you for their many blessings. Father God, I pray
- 1:50:52Speaker 2: you will protect this child of yours. I ask that
- 1:50:57Speaker 2: you will surround them with your presence. You will give
- 1:51:00Speaker 2: them your supernatural peace, take their burdens, their trials, carry
- 1:51:10Speaker 2: them tonight, repair whatever is broken in their lives. Father God,
- 1:51:21Speaker 2: I ask that you will sustain them and protect them.
- 1:51:25Speaker 2: Like a loving mother or father rocking a tiny baby
- 1:51:29Speaker 2: to sleep, I ask that you will rock this child
- 1:51:33Speaker 2: of yours to sleep in your loving arms, Hold them close.
- 1:51:40Speaker 2: Comfort them with your presence and your promises. Father, God,
- 1:51:47Speaker 2: your word says in Psalm four, verse eight, in peace,
- 1:51:52Speaker 2: I will both lie down and sleep for you alone.
- 1:51:57Speaker 2: O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Now, Lord, give
- 1:52:05Speaker 2: this child of yours sweet dreams. Help them to trust you,
- 1:52:10Speaker 2: to feel your presence in a mighty way, as your
- 1:52:15Speaker 2: word says, make them dwell in safety. It's in Jesus's
- 1:52:23Speaker 2: name that I pray. Amen. The Bible is filled with
- 1:52:34Speaker 2: stories of God's promises, of God's faithfulness to his people.
- 1:52:40Speaker 2: What he said yesterday is true today and will be
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: true tomorrow. He promised to rescue his people from Egypt,
- 1:52:50Speaker 2: to give them a new land flowing with milk and honey,
- 1:52:54Speaker 2: and to protect them as they faced enemies all around.
- 1:53:00Speaker 2: He promised to save the world through a messiah who
- 1:53:04Speaker 2: would be descended from David. Each time God kept his
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: promises to his people. The same promise as God made
- 1:53:16Speaker 2: to his people in the Old and New Testament are
- 1:53:20Speaker 2: for you too. In Isaiah forty one, verse ten, he
- 1:53:25Speaker 2: promises to cover you with his protection. Fear not, for
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: I am with you. Be not dismayed, For I am
- 1:53:38Speaker 2: your God. I will strengthen you. I will keep you.
- 1:53:42Speaker 2: I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. In
- 1:53:47Speaker 2: Matthew eleven twenty eight through thirty, he promises rest and comfort.
- 1:53:55Speaker 2: Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden,
- 1:54:00Speaker 2: and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon
- 1:54:04Speaker 2: you and learn from me, for I am gentle and
- 1:54:08Speaker 2: lowly in heart, And you will find rest for your souls.
- 1:54:14Speaker 2: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
- 1:54:22Speaker 2: And John fourteen twenty seven, God promises peace. Peace. I
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: leave with you my peace. I give to you. Not
- 1:54:33Speaker 2: as the world gives, do I give to you. Let
- 1:54:38Speaker 2: not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: And second Corinthians five seventeen, God promises you new life. Therefore,
- 1:54:55Speaker 2: if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation.
- 1:55:01Speaker 2: The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come.
- 1:55:08Speaker 2: And in Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven, God promises to
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: give you hope and a future. For I know the
- 1:55:18Speaker 2: plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for
- 1:55:22Speaker 2: welfare and not for evil, to give you a future
- 1:55:27Speaker 2: and a hope. God always keeps his promises. He promises
- 1:55:37Speaker 2: to protect you, to comfort you, to surround you with
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: his peace. He promises new life and a future. He
- 1:55:51Speaker 2: promises to give you.
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: Hope.
- 1:55:57Speaker 2: The ancient Israelites often say about God's faithfulness. They knew
- 1:56:02Speaker 2: that the same God who saved them in the past
- 1:56:05Speaker 2: was the same God who would watch over them in
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: the future. Listen as I read Psalm one five, an
- 1:56:14Speaker 2: ancient song that declares God's faithfulness. I will exalt you,
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: my God, the King. I will praise your name forever endeavor.
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: Every day I will praise you and extol your name,
- 1:56:31Speaker 2: forever endeavor. Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise.
- 1:56:37Speaker 2: His greatness, no one can fathom. One generation commends your
- 1:56:44Speaker 2: works to another. They tell of your mighty acts. They
- 1:56:49Speaker 2: speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I
- 1:56:54Speaker 2: will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the
- 1:56:58Speaker 2: power of your awesome work, and I will proclaim your
- 1:57:02Speaker 2: great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing
- 1:57:07Speaker 2: of your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow
- 1:57:14Speaker 2: to anger, and rich in love. The Lord is good
- 1:57:19Speaker 2: to all. He has compassion on all. He has made
- 1:57:25Speaker 2: all your works. Praise you, Lord, Your faithful people extol you.
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: They tell of the glory of your kingdom, and speak
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: of your might, so that all people may know of
- 1:57:39Speaker 2: your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
- 1:57:44Speaker 2: Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures
- 1:57:49Speaker 2: throughout all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises,
- 1:57:56Speaker 2: and faithful and all he does. The Lord upholds all
- 1:58:01Speaker 2: who fall, and lifts up all who are bowed down.
- 1:58:06Speaker 2: The eyes of all look to you, and you give
- 1:58:11Speaker 2: them their food at the proper time. You open your
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The
- 1:58:21Speaker 2: Lord is righteous in all his ways, and faithful in
- 1:58:24Speaker 2: all he does. The Lord is near to all who
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

- 2:15:26Speaker 2: James and John, and of Mary and Martha and Paul.
- 2:15:32Speaker 2: The same God who promised to protect and comfort them
- 2:15:36Speaker 2: is the same God who promised to protect and comfort you.

- 2:15:47Speaker 2: the same for you. He is faithful. He's a God
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: of peace and love and joy. There is none like him.
- 2:16:00Speaker 2: He is the one true and living God. Rest in
- 2:16:06Speaker 2: his promises. He is faithful Let's listen again to this
- 2:16:16Speaker 2: sleep story about our faithful God. The Bible is filled
- 2:16:24Speaker 2: with stories of God's promises, of God's faithfulness to his people.
- 2:16:30Speaker 2: What he said yesterday is true today, and will be
- 2:16:34Speaker 2: true tomorrow. He promised to rescue his people from Egypt,
- 2:16:40Speaker 2: to give them a new land flowing with milk and honey,
- 2:16:44Speaker 2: and to protect them as they faced enemies all around.
- 2:16:51Speaker 2: He promised to save the world through a messiah who
- 2:16:55Speaker 2: would be descended from David. Each time God kept his
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: promises to his people. The same promise as God made
- 2:17:06Speaker 2: to his people in the Old and New Testament, are
- 2:17:10Speaker 2: for you too. In Isaiah forty one, verse ten, he
- 2:17:15Speaker 2: promises to cover you with his protection. Fear not, for
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: your God. I will strengthen you, I will keep you.
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. In
- 2:17:37Speaker 2: Matthew eleven twenty eight through thirty, he promises rest and comfort.
- 2:17:46Speaker 2: Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden,
- 2:17:50Speaker 2: and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon
- 2:17:54Speaker 2: you and learn from me, for ian gentle and lowly
- 2:17:59Speaker 2: in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
- 2:18:12Speaker 2: In John fourteen twenty seven, God promises peace. Peace. I
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: leave with you my peace. I give to you, not
- 2:18:24Speaker 2: as the world gives. Do I give to you. Let
- 2:18:28Speaker 2: not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid
- 2:18:36Speaker 2: and tewod Corinthians five seventeen. God promises you new life. Therefore,
- 2:18:45Speaker 2: if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
- 2:18:51Speaker 2: The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come.
- 2:18:58Speaker 2: And in Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven, God promises to
- 2:19:03Speaker 2: give you hope and a future. For I know the
- 2:19:08Speaker 2: plans I have for you, declares the Lord lands for
- 2:19:13Speaker 2: welfare and not for evil, to give you a future
- 2:19:17Speaker 2: and a hope. God always keeps his promises. He promises
- 2:19:28Speaker 2: to protect you, to comfort you, to surround you with
- 2:19:32Speaker 2: his peace. He promises new life and a future. He
- 2:19:41Speaker 2: promises to give you.
- 2:19:44Speaker 1: Hope.
- 2:19:48Speaker 2: The ancient Israelites often saying about God's faithfulness. They knew
- 2:19:53Speaker 2: that the same God who saved them in the past
- 2:19:56Speaker 2: was the same God who would watch over them in
- 2:19:58Speaker 2: the future. Listen as I read Psalm one forty five,
- 2:20:04Speaker 2: an ancient song that declares God's faithfulness. I will exalt you,
- 2:20:12Speaker 2: my God, the King. I will praise your name forever endeavor.
- 2:20:17Speaker 2: Every day I will praise you and extol your name,
- 2:20:21Speaker 2: forever endeavor. Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise.
- 2:20:27Speaker 2: His greatness, no one can fathom. One generation commends your
- 2:20:34Speaker 2: works to another. They tell of your mighty acts. They
- 2:20:39Speaker 2: speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I
- 2:20:44Speaker 2: will meditate on your wonderful works. They tell of the
- 2:20:48Speaker 2: power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your
- 2:20:52Speaker 2: great deeds. They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing
- 2:20:58Speaker 2: of your righteousness. The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow
- 2:21:04Speaker 2: to anger, and rich in love. The Lord is good
- 2:21:09Speaker 2: to all. He has compassion on all. He has made
- 2:21:15Speaker 2: all your works. Praise you, Lord. Your faithful people extol you.
- 2:21:23Speaker 2: They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak
- 2:21:25Speaker 2: of your might, so that all people may know of
- 2:21:29Speaker 2: your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
- 2:21:35Speaker 2: Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures
- 2:21:39Speaker 2: throughout all generations. The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises,
- 2:21:46Speaker 2: and faithful and all he does. The Lord upholds all
- 2:21:52Speaker 2: who fall, and lifts up all who are bowed down.
- 2:21:56Speaker 2: The eyes of all look to you, and you give
- 2:22:01Speaker 2: them their food. At the proper time. You open your
- 2:22:06Speaker 2: hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The
- 2:22:12Speaker 2: Lord is righteous in all his ways, and faithful in
- 2:22:14Speaker 2: all he does. The Lord is near to all who
- 2:22:20Speaker 2: call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
- 2:22:26Speaker 2: He fulfills the desires of those who fear him. He
- 2:22:30Speaker 2: hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over
- 2:22:35Speaker 2: all who love him. My mouth will speak in praise
- 2:22:40Speaker 2: of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name,
- 2:22:47Speaker 2: Preverend Ever. Those words were true then, and they're true now.
- 2:22:58Speaker 2: The Lord is trustworthy and all he promises, and faithful
- 2:23:03Speaker 2: in all he does. He always keeps his word. He
- 2:23:09Speaker 2: always follows through. Right now, he is holding you in
- 2:23:15Speaker 2: his loving arms, promising you protection, comfort and peace. He's
- 2:23:25Speaker 2: promising you new life and a future and a hope.
- 2:23:31Speaker 2: He will never leave you. He'll always be by your side.
- 2:23:38Speaker 2: Lamentations three, verses twenty two and twenty three says the
- 2:23:43Speaker 2: steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. His mercies never
- 2:23:49Speaker 2: come to an end. They are new every morning. Great
- 2:23:54Speaker 2: is your faithfulness as you can you to rest in
- 2:24:00Speaker 2: the faithfulness of God. Listen to the peaceful words of
- 2:24:04Speaker 2: Psalm eighty six, embrace its promises. Hear me, Lord, and
- 2:24:13Speaker 2: answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life,

- 2:25:17Speaker 2: fear your name. I will praise you, Lord, my God,
- 2:25:23Speaker 2: with all my heart. I will glorify your name forever.
- 2:25:29Speaker 2: For great is your love toward me. You have delivered
- 2:25:31Speaker 2: me from the depths, from the realm of the dead.

- 2:27:50Speaker 2: is full of his unfailing love. By the word of
- 2:27:54Speaker 2: the Lord, the heavens were made their starry host. By
- 2:27:58Speaker 2: the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of
- 2:28:03Speaker 2: the sea into jars, He puts the deep into storehouses.
- 2:28:10Speaker 2: Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the
- 2:28:13Speaker 2: people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and
- 2:28:18Speaker 2: it came to be. He commanded, and it stood firm.
- 2:28:24Speaker 2: The plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes
- 2:28:29Speaker 2: of his heart through all generations. Less it is the
- 2:28:34Speaker 2: nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose
- 2:28:37Speaker 2: for his inheritance. We wait in hope for the Lord.
- 2:28:42Speaker 2: He is our help and our shield. In him our
- 2:28:46Speaker 2: hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May
- 2:28:51Speaker 2: your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we
- 2:28:56Speaker 2: put our hope in you. Ps. Eighty nine. I will
- 2:29:03Speaker 2: sing of the Lord's great love forever. With my mouth,

- 2:30:18Speaker 2: surround you. You rule over the surging sea. When its

- 2:34:07Speaker 2: If your law had not been my delight, I would
- 2:34:11Speaker 2: have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts,
- 2:34:17Speaker 2: for by them you have preserved my life. Save me,
- 2:34:23Speaker 2: for I am yours. I have sought out your precepts.
- 2:34:28Speaker 2: Oh how I love your law. I meditate on it
- 2:34:31Speaker 2: all day long. Your commands are always with me, and
- 2:34:36Speaker 2: make me wiser than my enemies. I have more insight
- 2:34:41Speaker 2: than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.
- 2:34:46Speaker 2: I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey
- 2:34:51Speaker 2: your precepts. I have kept my feet from every evil path,
- 2:34:57Speaker 2: so that I might obey your word. I have not
- 2:35:01Speaker 2: departed from your laws, for you, yourself have taught me.
- 2:35:07Speaker 2: How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than
- 2:35:10Speaker 2: honey to my mouth. I gain understanding from your precepts.
- 2:35:16Speaker 2: Therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a
- 2:35:22Speaker 2: lamp from my feet, a light on my path. I
- 2:35:27Speaker 2: have taken an oath and confirmed it that I will
- 2:35:30Speaker 2: follow your righteous loss. I have suffered much. Preserve my life, Lord,
- 2:35:39Speaker 2: according to your word. Except Lord, the willing praise of
- 2:35:44Speaker 2: my mouth, and teach me your laws. Though I constantly
- 2:35:49Speaker 2: take my life in my hands, I will not forget
- 2:35:53Speaker 2: your law. Your statutes are my heritage forever. They are
- 2:35:59Speaker 2: the joy of my heart. My heart is set on
- 2:36:03Speaker 2: keeping your decrees to the very end. Psalm one hundred,
- 2:36:11Speaker 2: Shout for joy to the Lord. All the earth. Worship
- 2:36:15Speaker 2: the Lord with gladness, Come before him with joyful songs.
- 2:36:21Speaker 2: Know that the Lord is God. It is he who
- 2:36:24Speaker 2: made us, and we are his. We are his people,
- 2:36:30Speaker 2: the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
- 2:36:37Speaker 2: in his courts with praise, give thanks to him and
- 2:36:40Speaker 2: Praise his name. For the Lord is good, and his
- 2:36:45Speaker 2: love endures forever, his faithfulness through all generations. Psalm one
- 2:36:55Speaker 2: hundred three. Praise the Lord my soul, all my inmost being,
- 2:37:01Speaker 2: Praise his holy name. Praise the Lord my soul, and
- 2:37:06Speaker 2: forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your sins
- 2:37:10Speaker 2: and heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from
- 2:37:14Speaker 2: the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, Who
- 2:37:19Speaker 2: satisfies your desires with good things, so that your youth
- 2:37:23Speaker 2: is renewed like the eagles. The Lord has established his
- 2:37:29Speaker 2: throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. Praise
- 2:37:35Speaker 2: the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do
- 2:37:39Speaker 2: his bidding, who obey his word. Praise the Lord all
- 2:37:45Speaker 2: his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.

- 2:38:13Speaker 2: pray for you, dear Father, Thank you for your faithfulness
- 2:38:18Speaker 2: to this child of yours. Thank you for loving them,
- 2:38:23Speaker 2: for protecting them, for giving them peace. You've promised them
- 2:38:29Speaker 2: new life and the future. You have promised them hope.
- 2:38:33Speaker 2: You are the God who keeps his promises. Father, I
- 2:38:41Speaker 2: asked that you'll surround them with your supernatural presence, hold
- 2:38:47Speaker 2: them close while they sleep. Please give them peace, for rest,
- 2:38:53Speaker 2: give them sweet dreams. In Jesus name, I pray, the
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: God of Abor, Him, Isaac, and Jacob is watching over you.
- 2:39:11Speaker 2: He is the God of Noah and Moses, of Ruth
- 2:39:13Speaker 2: and Naomi, of Peter, James and John, and of Mary
- 2:39:18Speaker 2: and Martha and Paul. The same God who promised to
- 2:39:24Speaker 2: protect and comfort them is the same God who promised
- 2:39:29Speaker 2: to protect and comfort you. He kept his promises to them,
- 2:39:36Speaker 2: and he will do the same for you. He is faithful.
- 2:39:41Speaker 2: He's a God of peace and love and joy. There
- 2:39:47Speaker 2: is none like him. He is the one, true and
- 2:39:53Speaker 2: living God. Rest in his promises. He is faithful. Let's
- 2:40:05Speaker 2: listen again to this sleep story about our faithful God.
- 2:40:12Speaker 2: The Bible is filled with stories of God's promises, of
- 2:40:17Speaker 2: God's faithfulness to his people. What he said yesterday is
- 2:40:22Speaker 2: true today and will be true tomorrow. He promised to
- 2:40:28Speaker 2: rescue his people from Egypt, to give them a new
- 2:40:31Speaker 2: land flowing with milk and honey, and to protect them
- 2:40:37Speaker 2: as they faced enemies all around. He promised to save
- 2:40:42Speaker 2: the world through a messiah who would be descended from David.
- 2:40:49Speaker 2: Each time God kept his promises to his people. The
- 2:40:55Speaker 2: same promise as God made to his people in the
- 2:40:58Speaker 2: Old and New Testament are for you two. In Isaiah
- 2:41:04Speaker 2: forty one, verse ten, he promises to cover you with
- 2:41:08Speaker 2: his protection. Fear not, for I am with you. Be
- 2:41:16Speaker 2: not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
- 2:41:21Speaker 2: I will keep you. I will uphold you with my
- 2:41:24Speaker 2: righteous right hand. In Matthew eleven twenty eight through thirty,
- 2:41:31Speaker 2: he promises rest and comfort. Come to me all who
- 2:41:38Speaker 2: labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- 2:41:44Speaker 2: Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for
- 2:41:48Speaker 2: I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will
- 2:41:51Speaker 2: find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy
- 2:41:57Speaker 2: and my burden is light. In John fourteen twenty seven,
- 2:42:05Speaker 2: God promises peace. Peace I leave with you. By peace.
- 2:42:12Speaker 2: I give to you, not as the world gives. Do
- 2:42:15Speaker 2: I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled,
- 2:42:21Speaker 2: neither let them be afraid and tewod Corinthians five seventeen.
- 2:42:30Speaker 2: God promises you new life. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
- 2:42:38Speaker 2: he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold,
- 2:42:44Speaker 2: the new has come. And in Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven,
- 2:42:52Speaker 2: God promises to give you hope and a future. For
- 2:42:58Speaker 2: I know the plans I have for you, declares the
- 2:43:00Speaker 2: Lord lands for welfare and not for evil, to give
- 2:43:06Speaker 2: you a future and a hope. God always keeps his promises.
- 2:43:17Speaker 2: He promises to protect you, to comfort you, to surround
- 2:43:22Speaker 2: you with his peace. He promises new life and a future.
- 2:43:31Speaker 2: He promises to give you.
- 2:43:34Speaker 1: Hope.
- 2:43:38Speaker 2: The ancient Israelites often sang about God's faithfulness. They knew
- 2:43:43Speaker 2: that the same God who saved them in the past
- 2:43:46Speaker 2: was the same God who would watch over them in
- 2:43:48Speaker 2: the future. Listen as I read Psalm one, an ancient
- 2:43:55Speaker 2: song that declares God's faithfulness. I will exalt you, my God,
- 2:44:03Speaker 2: the King. I will praise your name forever endeavor. Every
- 2:44:08Speaker 2: day I will praise you and extol your name forever endeavor.
- 2:44:14Speaker 2: Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise. His greatness,
- 2:44:19Speaker 2: no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another.
- 2:44:26Speaker 2: They tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the
- 2:44:30Speaker 2: glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on
- 2:44:35Speaker 2: your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your
- 2:44:39Speaker 2: awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. They
- 2:44:44Speaker 2: celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
- 2:44:51Speaker 2: The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and
- 2:44:56Speaker 2: rich in love. The Lord is good to all. He
- 2:45:01Speaker 2: has compassion on all. He has made all your works
- 2:45:06Speaker 2: Praise you, Lord. Your faithful people extol you. They tell
- 2:45:13Speaker 2: of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,
- 2:45:18Speaker 2: so that all people may know of your mighty acts
- 2:45:20Speaker 2: and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is
- 2:45:26Speaker 2: an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
- 2:45:33Speaker 2: The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises, and faithful
- 2:45:38Speaker 2: and all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall,
- 2:45:43Speaker 2: and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes
- 2:45:47Speaker 2: of all look to you, and you give them their food.
- 2:45:52Speaker 2: At the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy
- 2:45:57Speaker 2: the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous
- 2:46:03Speaker 2: in all his ways, and faithful in all he does.
- 2:46:08Speaker 2: The Lord is near to all who call on him,
- 2:46:12Speaker 2: to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills
- 2:46:17Speaker 2: the desires of those who fear him. He hears their
- 2:46:21Speaker 2: cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who
- 2:46:26Speaker 2: love him. My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord,
- 2:46:33Speaker 2: but every creature praise his Holy name, Preverend. Ever those
- 2:46:43Speaker 2: words were true then, and they're true now. The Lord
- 2:46:48Speaker 2: is trustworthy and all he promises, and faithful in all
- 2:46:54Speaker 2: he does. He always keeps. His word follows through. Right
- 2:47:03Speaker 2: now he is holding you in his loving arms, promising
- 2:47:08Speaker 2: you protection, comfort and peace. He's promising you new life
- 2:47:17Speaker 2: and a future and a hope. He will never leave you.
- 2:47:24Speaker 2: He'll always be by your side. Lamentations three, verses twenty
- 2:47:30Speaker 2: two and twenty three says the steadfast love of the
- 2:47:35Speaker 2: Lord never ceases, as mercies never come to an end.
- 2:47:41Speaker 2: They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness as
- 2:47:49Speaker 2: you continue to rest in the faithfulness of God. Listen
- 2:47:53Speaker 2: to the peaceful words of Psalm eighty six, embrace its promises.
- 2:48:01Speaker 2: Hear me, Lord and answer me, for I am poor
- 2:48:07Speaker 2: and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you.
- 2:48:12Speaker 2: Save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God.
- 2:48:19Speaker 2: Have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you
- 2:48:23Speaker 2: all day long. Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for
- 2:48:27Speaker 2: I put my trust in you. You Lord, are forgiving
- 2:48:31Speaker 2: and good, abounding in love. To all who call on you.
- 2:48:38Speaker 2: Among the gods, there is none like you, Lord. No
- 2:48:41Speaker 2: deeds can compare with yours. All the nations you have
- 2:48:46Speaker 2: made will come and worship before you. Lord. They will
- 2:48:50Speaker 2: bring glory to your name, for you are great and
- 2:48:54Speaker 2: do marvelous deeds. You alone are God. Teach me your way, Lord,
- 2:49:02Speaker 2: that I may rely on your faithfulness. Give me an
- 2:49:05Speaker 2: undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will
- 2:49:10Speaker 2: praise you, Lord, my God, with all my heart. I
- 2:49:15Speaker 2: will glorify your name forever, for great is your love
- 2:49:20Speaker 2: toward me. You have delivered me from the depths, from
- 2:49:23Speaker 2: the realm of the dead. You Lord, are a compassionate
- 2:49:28Speaker 2: and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
- 2:49:38Speaker 2: That ancient psalmness just as true today as it was
- 2:49:42Speaker 2: thousands of years ago. God is abounding in love and faithfulness.
- 2:49:49Speaker 2: He does marvelous deeds. He's the God who never lies,
- 2:49:54Speaker 2: who always keeps his promises, to protect you, to comfort you,
- 2:49:59Speaker 2: to give you peace, a new life, and a future.
- 2:50:05Speaker 2: Is always faithful. Let's continue our journey through the psalms.
- 2:50:12Speaker 2: Psalm thirty six. Your love, Lord reaches to the heavens,
- 2:50:19Speaker 2: your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the
- 2:50:24Speaker 2: highest mountains. You justice is like the great deep. You Lord,
- 2:50:30Speaker 2: preserve both people and animals. How priceless is your unfailing love,
- 2:50:35Speaker 2: O God. People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
- 2:50:41Speaker 2: They feast on the abundance of your house. You give
- 2:50:45Speaker 2: them drink from your river of delights. For with you
- 2:50:50Speaker 2: as the fountain of life, in your light we see light.
- 2:50:57Speaker 2: Continue your love to those who know you. Your righteousness to
- 2:51:01Speaker 2: the upright and heart. Psalm thirty three. Sing joyfully to
- 2:51:09Speaker 2: the Lord, you Righteous. It is fitting for the upright
- 2:51:14Speaker 2: to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp, make
- 2:51:20Speaker 2: music to him on the ten stringed lyre sing to
- 2:51:24Speaker 2: him a new song. Playskillfully and shout for joy. For
- 2:51:30Speaker 2: the word of the Lord is right and true. He
- 2:51:33Speaker 2: is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness
- 2:51:38Speaker 2: and justice. The earth is full of his unfailing love.
- 2:51:44Speaker 2: By the word of the Lord, the heavens were made
- 2:51:47Speaker 2: their starry host by the breath of his mouth. He
- 2:51:52Speaker 2: gathers the waters of the sea into jars, he puts
- 2:51:57Speaker 2: the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord.
- 2:52:03Speaker 2: Let all the people of the world revere him. For
- 2:52:07Speaker 2: he spoke, and it came to be. He commanded, and
- 2:52:12Speaker 2: it stood firm. The plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
- 2:52:19Speaker 2: the purposes of his heart through all generations. Less it
- 2:52:24Speaker 2: is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people
- 2:52:27Speaker 2: he chose for his inheritance. We wait in hope for
- 2:52:32Speaker 2: the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him,
- 2:52:36Speaker 2: our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
- 2:52:41Speaker 2: May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as
- 2:52:46Speaker 2: we put our hope in you, Psalm eighty nine. I
- 2:52:53Speaker 2: will sing of the Lord's great love forever. With my mouth.
- 2:52:57Speaker 2: I will make your faithfulness known through our all generations.
- 2:53:02Speaker 2: I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that
- 2:53:07Speaker 2: you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself. You said,
- 2:53:14Speaker 2: I have made a covenant with my chosen one. I
- 2:53:18Speaker 2: have sworn to David, my servant. I will establish your
- 2:53:23Speaker 2: line forever and make your throne firm through all generations.
- 2:53:31Speaker 2: The heavens praise your wonder's Lord, your faithfulness too in
- 2:53:36Speaker 2: the assembly of the Holy Ones. For who in the
- 2:53:40Speaker 2: skies above can compare with the Lord who is like
- 2:53:45Speaker 2: the Lord among the heavenly beings and the counsel of
- 2:53:50Speaker 2: the Holy Ones, God has greatly feared. He is more

- 2:54:39Speaker 2: for joy at your name. Your arm is endowed with power,
- 2:54:45Speaker 2: Your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. Righteousness and
- 2:54:52Speaker 2: justice are the foundation of your throne. Love and faithfulness

- 2:56:01Speaker 2: his great mercy, he has given us new birth, into
- 2:56:05Speaker 2: a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from

- 2:56:42Speaker 2: you hope. Let's continue our journey through the Psalms Psalm

- 2:57:52Speaker 2: laws endure to this day. For all things serve you.
- 2:57:58Speaker 2: If your law had not been my delight, I would
- 2:58:01Speaker 2: have perished in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts,
- 2:58:07Speaker 2: for by them you have preserved my life. Save me,
- 2:58:13Speaker 2: for I am yours. I have sought out your precepts.
- 2:58:18Speaker 2: Oh how I love your law. I meditate on it

- 2:58:41Speaker 2: your precepts. I have kept my feet from every evil
- 2:58:46Speaker 2: path so that I might obey your word. I have
- 2:58:51Speaker 2: not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me.
- 2:58:57Speaker 2: How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than
- 2:59:00Speaker 2: honey to my mouth. I gain understanding from your precepts.
- 2:59:06Speaker 2: Therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a
- 2:59:12Speaker 2: lamp from my feet a light on my path. I
- 2:59:18Speaker 2: have taken an oath and confirmed it that I will
- 2:59:21Speaker 2: follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much. Preserve my life, Lord,
- 2:59:29Speaker 2: according to your word. Except Lord, the willing praise of
- 2:59:34Speaker 2: my mouth, and teach me your laws. Though I constantly
- 2:59:39Speaker 2: take my life in my hands, I will not forget
- 2:59:44Speaker 2: your law. Your statutes are my heritage forever. They are
- 2:59:49Speaker 2: the joy of my heart. My heart is set on

- 3:00:11Speaker 2: Know that the Lord is God. It is he who
- 3:00:15Speaker 2: made us, and we are his. We are his people,
- 3:00:20Speaker 2: the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
- 3:00:27Speaker 2: and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and

- 3:02:15Speaker 2: for giving them peace. You've promised them new life and
- 3:02:20Speaker 2: the future. You have promised them hope. You are the
- 3:02:24Speaker 2: God who keeps his promises. Father, I asked that you'll
- 3:02:32Speaker 2: surround them with your supernatural presence, hold them close while
- 3:02:38Speaker 2: they sleep. Please give them peace, for rest, give them
- 3:02:43Speaker 2: sweet dreams. In Jesus name, I pray Amen for God
- 3:02:53Speaker 2: of avor Him, Isaac and Jacob is watching over you.
- 3:03:01Speaker 2: He is the God of Noah and Moses, of Ruth
- 3:03:03Speaker 2: and Naomi, of Peter, James and John, and of Mary
- 3:03:09Speaker 2: and Martha and Paul. The same God who promised to
- 3:03:14Speaker 2: protect and comfort them is the same God who promised
- 3:03:19Speaker 2: to protect and comfort you. He kept his promises to them,
- 3:03:27Speaker 2: and he will do the same for you. He is faithful.
- 3:03:32Speaker 2: He's a God of peace and love and joy. There
- 3:03:38Speaker 2: is none like him. He is the one, true and
- 3:03:43Speaker 2: living God. Rest in his promises. He is faithful. Let's
- 3:03:55Speaker 2: listen again to this sleep story about our faithful God.
- 3:04:02Speaker 2: The Bible is filled with stories of God's promises, of
- 3:04:07Speaker 2: God's faithfulness to his people. What he said yesterday is
- 3:04:12Speaker 2: true today and will be true tomorrow. He promised to
- 3:04:18Speaker 2: rescue his people from Egypt, to give them a new
- 3:04:21Speaker 2: land flowing with milk and honey, and to protect them
- 3:04:27Speaker 2: as they faced enemies all around. He promised to save
- 3:04:32Speaker 2: the world through a messiah who would be descended from David.
- 3:04:39Speaker 2: Each time God kept his promises to his people. The
- 3:04:45Speaker 2: same promise as God made to his people in the
- 3:04:48Speaker 2: Old and New Testament are for you too. In Isaiah
- 3:04:54Speaker 2: forty one, verse ten, he promises to cover you with
- 3:04:58Speaker 2: his protection. Fear not, for I am with you. Be
- 3:05:06Speaker 2: not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you,
- 3:05:11Speaker 2: I will keep you. I will uphold you with my
- 3:05:14Speaker 2: righteous right hand. In Matthew eleven twenty eight through thirty,
- 3:05:21Speaker 2: he promises rest and comfort. Come to me all who
- 3:05:28Speaker 2: labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
- 3:05:33Speaker 2: Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for
- 3:05:38Speaker 2: I am gentle and lowly in heart. And you will
- 3:05:41Speaker 2: find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy
- 3:05:47Speaker 2: and my burden is light. And John fourteen twenty seven,
- 3:05:55Speaker 2: God promises peace. I leave with you by peace. I
- 3:06:02Speaker 2: give to you, not as the world gives. Do I
- 3:06:05Speaker 2: give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither
- 3:06:12Speaker 2: let them be afraid and tewod Corinthians five seventeen. God
- 3:06:20Speaker 2: promises you new life. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
- 3:06:28Speaker 2: he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold,
- 3:06:34Speaker 2: the new has come. And in Jeremiah twenty nine to eleven,
- 3:06:42Speaker 2: God promises to give you hope and a future. For
- 3:06:48Speaker 2: I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
- 3:06:52Speaker 2: plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you
- 3:06:56Speaker 2: a future and a hope. God always keeps his promises.
- 3:07:07Speaker 2: He promises to protect you, to comfort you, to surround
- 3:07:12Speaker 2: you with his peace. He promises new life and a future.
- 3:07:21Speaker 2: He promises to give you.
- 3:07:24Speaker 1: Hope.
- 3:07:28Speaker 2: The ancient Israelites often sang about God's faithfulness. They knew
- 3:07:33Speaker 2: that the same God who saved them in the past
- 3:07:36Speaker 2: was the same God who would watch over them in
- 3:07:38Speaker 2: the future. Listen as I read Psalm one, an ancient
- 3:07:45Speaker 2: song that declares God's faithfulness. I will exalt you, my God,
- 3:07:52Speaker 2: the King. I will praise your name forever endeavor. Every day,
- 3:07:58Speaker 2: I will praise you and extol your name forever endeavor.
- 3:08:04Speaker 2: Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise. His greatness,
- 3:08:09Speaker 2: no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another.
- 3:08:16Speaker 2: They tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the
- 3:08:20Speaker 2: glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on
- 3:08:25Speaker 2: your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your
- 3:08:29Speaker 2: awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. They
- 3:08:34Speaker 2: celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
- 3:08:41Speaker 2: The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and
- 3:08:46Speaker 2: rich in love. The Lord is good to all He
- 3:08:51Speaker 2: has compassion on all he has made. All your works.
- 3:08:56Speaker 2: Praise you, Lord. Your faithful people extol you. They tell
- 3:09:03Speaker 2: of the glory of your kingdom, and speak of your might,
- 3:09:08Speaker 2: so that all people may know of your mighty acts
- 3:09:10Speaker 2: and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is
- 3:09:16Speaker 2: an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.
- 3:09:23Speaker 2: The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises, and faithful
- 3:09:28Speaker 2: and all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall,
- 3:09:33Speaker 2: and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes
- 3:09:37Speaker 2: of all look to you, and you give them their
- 3:09:42Speaker 2: food at the proper time. You open your hand and
- 3:09:47Speaker 2: satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is
- 3:09:52Speaker 2: righteous in all his ways, and faithful in all he does.
- 3:09:58Speaker 2: The Lord is near to all who call on him,
- 3:10:02Speaker 2: to all who call on him in truth, he fulfills
- 3:10:07Speaker 2: the desires of those who fear him. He hears their
- 3:10:10Speaker 2: cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all.
- 3:10:16Speaker 1: Who love him.
- 3:10:19Speaker 2: My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let
- 3:10:23Speaker 2: every creature praise his Holy name, Reverend. Ever, those words
- 3:10:33Speaker 2: were true then, and they're true now. The Lord is trustworthy,
- 3:10:40Speaker 2: and all he promises and faithful in all he does.
- 3:10:46Speaker 2: He always keeps his word, He always follows through. Right now,

- 3:11:07Speaker 2: future and a hope. He will never leave you. He'll
- 3:11:14Speaker 2: always be by your side. Lamentations three, verses twenty two
- 3:11:20Speaker 2: and twenty three says the steadfast love of the Lord
- 3:11:25Speaker 2: never ceases, as mercies never come to an end. They
- 3:11:32Speaker 2: are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness as you
- 3:11:39Speaker 2: continue to rest in the faithfulness of God. Listen to
- 3:11:43Speaker 2: the peaceful words of Psalm eighty six, embrace its promises.
- 3:11:51Speaker 2: Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor
- 3:11:57Speaker 2: and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you.
- 3:12:02Speaker 2: Save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God.

- 3:12:35Speaker 2: made will come and worship before you, Lord. They will
- 3:12:40Speaker 2: bring glory to your name, for you are great and
- 3:12:44Speaker 2: do marvelous deeds. You alone are God. Teach me your way, Lord,

- 3:13:00Speaker 2: praise you, Lord, my God, with all my heart. I
- 3:13:05Speaker 2: will glorify your name forever. For great is your love

- 3:13:13Speaker 2: the realm of the dead. You Lord, are a compassionate
- 3:13:18Speaker 2: and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

- 3:22:08Speaker 2: how I love your law. I meditate on it all
- 3:22:12Speaker 2: day long. Your commands are always with me and make
- 3:22:17Speaker 2: me wiser than my enemies. I have more insight than
- 3:22:21Speaker 2: all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes. I
- 3:22:26Speaker 2: have more understanding than the elders. For I obey your precepts.
- 3:22:34Speaker 2: I have kept my feet from every evil path so
- 3:22:38Speaker 2: that I might obey your word. I have not departed
- 3:22:42Speaker 2: from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. How
- 3:22:47Speaker 2: sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey
- 3:22:50Speaker 2: to my mouth. I gain understanding from your precepts. Therefore
- 3:22:57Speaker 2: I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp
- 3:23:02Speaker 2: from my feet, a light on my path. I have
- 3:23:08Speaker 2: taken an oath and confirmed it that I will follow
- 3:23:11Speaker 2: your righteous loss. I have suffered much. Preserve my life, Lord,
- 3:23:19Speaker 2: according to your word. Accept Lord, the willing praise of
- 3:23:24Speaker 2: my mouth, and teach me your laws. Though I constantly
- 3:23:29Speaker 2: take my life in my hands, I will not forget
- 3:23:33Speaker 2: your law. Your statutes are my heritage. Forever. They are
- 3:23:39Speaker 2: the joy of my heart. My heart is set on
- 3:23:43Speaker 2: keeping your decrees to the very end. Psalm one hundred.
- 3:23:51Speaker 2: Shout for joy to the Lord. All the earth. Worship
- 3:23:55Speaker 2: the Lord with gladness. Come before him with joyful songs.
- 3:24:01Speaker 2: Know that the Lord is God. It is he who
- 3:24:04Speaker 2: made us, and we are his. We are his people,
- 3:24:10Speaker 2: the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
- 3:24:17Speaker 2: in his courts with praise, Give thanks to him, and
- 3:24:21Speaker 2: praise his name. For the Lord is good, and his
- 3:24:25Speaker 2: love endures forever, his faithfulness through all generations. Psalm one
- 3:24:35Speaker 2: hundred three. Praise the Lord my soul, all my inmost being,
- 3:24:42Speaker 2: Praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and
- 3:24:46Speaker 2: forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your sins
- 3:24:50Speaker 2: and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from
- 3:24:54Speaker 2: the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, Who
- 3:24:59Speaker 2: set us your desires with good things, so that your
- 3:25:03Speaker 2: youth is renewed like the eagles. The Lord has established
- 3:25:09Speaker 2: his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules overall. Praise
- 3:25:15Speaker 2: the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do
- 3:25:19Speaker 2: his bidding, who obey his word. Praise the Lord all
- 3:25:25Speaker 2: his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will.
- 3:25:30Speaker 2: Praise the Lord all his works everywhere in his dominion.
- 3:25:35Speaker 2: Praise the Lord my soul. God is faithful, He keeps
- 3:25:45Speaker 2: his promises, rest and his love for you. Let me
- 3:25:53Speaker 2: pray for you, dear Father, Thank you for your faithfulness
- 3:25:59Speaker 2: to this child of yours. Thank you for loving them,
- 3:26:03Speaker 2: for protecting them, for giving them peace. You've promised them
- 3:26:09Speaker 2: new life and the future. You have promised them hope.
- 3:26:13Speaker 2: You are the God who keeps his promises. Father, I
- 3:26:21Speaker 2: asked that you'll surround them with your supernatural presence, hold
- 3:26:27Speaker 2: them close while they sleep. Please give them peace, for rest,
- 3:26:33Speaker 2: give them sweet dreams. In Jesus name, I pray Amen.
- 3:26:43Speaker 2: The God of Avor, Him, Isaac and Jacob is watching
- 3:26:49Speaker 2: over you. He's the god of Noah and Moses, of
- 3:26:53Speaker 2: Ruth and Naomi, of Peter, James and John, and of
- 3:26:58Speaker 2: Mary and Martha and Paul. The same God who promised
- 3:27:04Speaker 2: to protect and comfort them is the same God who
- 3:27:08Speaker 2: promised to protect and comfort you. He kept his promises
- 3:27:15Speaker 2: to them. He will do the same for you. He
- 3:27:20Speaker 2: is faithful. He's a god of peace and love and joy.
- 3:27:27Speaker 2: There is none like him. He is the one, true
- 3:27:33Speaker 2: and living God. Rest in his promises. He is faithful.
