heaven gratitude is a form of worship and worship has power Psalm 22:3 tells us that God inhabits the Praises of his people when you thank the Holy Spirit it is as if a beam of light rises from your soul drawing Angels into your space angels are drawn to worship they are Servants of God's Will and when you offer gratitude they come to minister to you to protect you and to deliver blessings that have been waiting for your acknowledgement of God's goodness gratitude also magnifies God's presence in your life it is like holding up a mirror

my burdens to you you are placing your life in the hands of the one who knows you better than you know yourself sender says I can't do this alone but with you I am renewed restored and made whole think of the woman in Luke 7 who anointed jesus' feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair she came with nothing but a broken spirit yet her act of surrender and confession brought her forgiveness and peace in the same way when you confess to the Holy Spirit you are bringing your Brokenness to the only one
who can truly heal it in this sacred Act of surrender your spirit is reset the heaviness of the day gives way to lightness the noise of the world Fades and the peace of God takes its place this is not just a prayer for rest it is a doorway to Divine renewal preparing your soul for the blessings God has in store for you guard my mind my heart and my body tonight Holy Spirit surround me with your angels keep all harm away these words simple yet powerful are an invocation for divine protection that carries weight in
both the physical and spiritual Realms when you speak this prayer you are not just seeking peace for the night you are aligning yourself with the protection of the almighty in Psalm 9111 it is written for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways this promise is not merely poetic it is a declaration of God's commitment to your safety When you pray for divine protection you are calling upon that promise the holy spirit is faithful to respond ensuring that not only are you physically safe but your heart and mind are

used dreams throughout history to reveal his plans deliver guidance and even offer Comfort just as he spoke to Joseph Daniel and other Faithful Servants he longs to speak to you in the quiet of the night when your heart and mind are still ready to receive his voice when you ask the holy spirit to guide you through your dreams you are opening yourself to Divine communication in the same way that God used dreams to shape the lives of those in scripture he desires to impart wisdom and understanding to you in Joel 228 it says your old
men will dream dreams your young men will see Visions This Promise isn't limited to a select few it's available to anyone who seeks God and is open to his voice even while they sleep the Holy Spirit through your dreams can bring Clarity to areas of your life where you may be uncertain you may receive specific guidance for decisions directions for your future or even insights into things you never considered before in the Stillness of the night he can plant seeds of divine wisdom in your heart preparing you to walk more confidently in his will when
you wake think of Daniel who received visions that not only reveal the future but also provided understanding in times of great confusion similarly the Holy Spirit can give you peace and understanding during seasons of uncertainty you may wake up with a sense of direction or with a verse from scripture resonating deeply within your spirit both signs that God is speaking through the holy spirit to guide your steps not only does the holy spirit guide us through our dreams but he also encourages us when we ask for his Direction he can deliver messages of Hope strength
and reassurance in moments when we need them most perhaps it's a reminder that God is still in control or an assurance that the struggles you're facing will soon come to an end by inviting the Holy Spirit to speak to you through your dreams you are aligning your heart with God's plans for your life as you sleep your spirit becomes receptive to his will allowing him to guide you in ways that may seem impossible during waking hours it's a beautiful reminder that God's guidance does not stop when the day ends it continues through the night providing
wisdom peace and encouragement for the days ahead [Music]
