Psalm 107

0:00I'm Bishop T.D. Jakes inviting you to unwind your mind and spirit with tonight's sleep song. Let the Redeem by the Lord say so whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, Psalm 107 verse 2. Dear God, as I ease my heavy head into this soft willowy pillow to pray, I humbly ask for your calming presence to feel my chaotic soul, my heart is heavy, and my man is burdened with worries, fears, doubts.

1:02Sometimes I'm scared, I long for your soft touch to soothe my restless mind and grant me the peace that surpasses all understanding. I feel lost in this darkness and I can't find the way out on my own. But I know that you are the light that leads me to safety I ask that you guide me out of this storm and enter the serenity of your loving embrace. May the weight of my troubles be lifted from my shoulders and may I find rest in you. Simply the strip to trust in your endless mercy and to walk with faith through whatever

2:04struggles may come. May your gentle voice whisper words of grace and love into my ear as I rest at your feet. For you are the source of all goodness and truth and I find my peace in you. Thank you, Lord, for your unending love and your faithfulness. May your bright light shine upon me and lead me to the quiet rest that only you can give in Jesus' name, amen.

8:15Psalm 107 from the King James Version says, Psalm 107 from the King James Version says, O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureeth forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered them out of the lands from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way. They found no city to dwell in, hungry and thirsty their souls fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble and He delivered them out of their distresses and He let them forth by the right way that they might go to a city of habitation. O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men. For He satisfied the longing soul and filleth the hungry soul with goodness, such as

9:20sit in darkness and in the shadow of death being bound in affliction and iron. As they rebelled against the words of God and condemned the counsel of the most high, therefore He brought down their heart with labor. They fell down and there was none to help. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and break their bans in surrender. O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men. For He hath broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron in sunder, fools because of their transgression and because of their iniquities are afflicted. Their soul abhoreth all manner of meat and they drawn near unto the gates of death. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble and He saved them out of their distresses.

10:21He sent His Word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions. O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men. And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of Thanksgiving and declare His works with rejoicing. They that go down to the sea in ships that do business in great waters. They see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. For He commanded and razed the stormy winds which lifted up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven. They go down again to the depths. Their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wit's end. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble and He bringeth them out of their distresses. He makeeth the storm calm so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet so He bringeth them unto their desired haven.

11:26O that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for His wonderful works to the children of men. Let them exalt Him also in the congregation of the people and praise Him in the assembly of the elders. He turneth rivers into a wilderness and the water springs into dry ground, a fruitful land into beariness for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. He turneth the wilderness into standing water and dry ground into water springs and there he may get the hungry to dwell that they may prepare a city for habitation and sow the fields and plant vineyards which may yield fruit of increase. He blesseth them also so that they are multiplied greatly and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. Again they are finished and brought low through oppression, affliction and sorrow. He pooreth contempt upon princes and causeeth them to wander in the wilderness where there is no way, yet seteth he the poor on high from affliction and makeeth him families like

12:32a flock. The righteous shall see it and rejoice. And all iniquity shall stop her mouth, whoso is wise and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord.

13:33Take a deep breath, be filled with the goodness of the Lord, exhale slowly and release any stress and tension in your body. Take another deep breath, be filled with the courage of the Lord, exhale slowly and feel his courage empower you to face life's storms.
