  Speaker 2: Hi, and welcome to this time of quiet Christian guided
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: meditation on Abide. This guide is here to help you
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: with any sleep or insomnia difficulties that you may be
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: having tonight. You may want to consider playing this softly
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: next to your pillow as you rest. If you fall
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: asleep before this time of meditation is over, don't worry.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: It will stop automatically and you will fall asleep listening
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: to prayers and the sweet word of God. How beautiful
• 0:45

• 0:53
  Speaker 2: again if you like. But before we begin, I want
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you to get into a comfortable place, take care of
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: any physical distractions such as noise or light, and find
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it temperature, and a place to lie down that is
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: most comfortable for you. You might take this moment too
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: to choose some music on abide, music that's peaceful for you,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: or you may choose to simply listen in silence. So
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: when you're ready, I want you to close your eyes
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and relax as you listen to my voice. Just relax
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: and let me guide you through prayer and the word
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: of God. One reason you may be having trouble falling
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: asleep is worry and anxiety. So as we begin, let
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: me lead you in your first prayer of surrender and forgiveness.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: As you hear this prayer from Psalm fifty one, just
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: feel yourself relaxing, falling back, and surrendering yourself into the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: loving and forgiving arms of Jesus, releasing the weight of
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: your worldly cares as you focus on the lightness of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the gospel, the good news of the death, burial, and
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: resurrection of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So let
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: me pray for you now, Ho, peaceful and heavenly Father,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you give this one here, your child sleep, for the
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: refreshing of their soul and their body. Grant this one
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: this gift tonight. I pray keep them in that perfect
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: peace which you have promised to them whose mind is
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: fixed on you, and give them such a sense of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: your presence that in these moments of silence they may
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: enjoy the blessed assurance of your love through you, Oh
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: peaceful and loving Father, Be merciful to this one, Oh God,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: because of your constant love, because of your great mercy,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: wipe away their anxiety, wash away all evil, and make
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: them clean from their sin tonight, tonight, let them hear
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the sounds of joy and gladness. Create in them tonight
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: a pure heart. Oh God, give them again the joy
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that comes from your salvation. God, grant them this one
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: piece so they can sleep soundlessly and awaken with a
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: renewed spirit, ready to face the day ahead. In Jesus name, Amen,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: take a moment now to just feel the embrace of Jesus.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Feel Jesus whispering his love and care for you tonight
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: as you sleep. As you continue to relax, I want
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you to begin pacing your breathing as I read scripture
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: to you. As I read the first part of a passage,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I want you to very slowly breathe in. And then
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: as I read the second part of the passage, I
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: want you to breathe out. Listen as I read from
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Psalm chapter forty six, breathe in slowly now as I read,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: God is our refuge and strength. Now, breathe out slowly
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: as I read, and a very present help in your
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: times of trouble. Pace your breathing in and out slowly again,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: as I pray over you from Deuteronomy chapter thirty one.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Breathe in, be strong and courageous, and now breathe out.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Do not fear or be in dread, and in slowly,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: for it is the Lord your God, and now out,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: who goes with you in. He will not leave you
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: an out or forsake you in the darkness. Now feel
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the presence of Christ, Feel the strength of his arms
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: around you, Feel the tenderness of his hands as they
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: rest on your head. Just relax now into his presence.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Pace your breathing slowly again as I pray from Luke
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: chapter twelve. Breathing in slowly, and don't be concerned about

  Speaker 2: what to eat or what to drink. Don't worry about
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: your Father already knows your needs. So seek the Kingdom
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of God above all else, and he will give you
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: everything you need. So don't be afraid, little one, for

  Speaker 2: from fear and harm. Tonight. Let this peaceful soul feel
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: the wall protecting them from harm tonight, the wall built
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: lovingly by you, the creator of the universe, Creator that
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: sits down now by the side of this child as
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: they sleep. In Jesus' name, Amen, pace your breathing as
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: you listen to the story from Luke chapter eight. Breathe
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: slowly and deeply as you imagine yourself in this boat.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus and his disciples are all around you. You hear
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus tell you to prepare, prepare to cross over the sea.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Of Galilee. You watch as Jesus falls asleep. Jesus, your Savior,
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: curls up in the boat to sleep. You crawl over
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: and sit down next to him. You lean on him.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: As your Savior rests, the wind begins to hit your face.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: You feel the spray from the waves. Then you begin
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: to feel water at your feet. You wake up your Master,
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: who is sleeping. You see the look of peace in
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: his eyes. You are in awe of that peace. Then
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Jesus waves his hand, perhaps without even taking his eyes
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: off of you, and you feel the wind stop. The
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: waves are gone, and Jesus whispers to you, my child,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: have faith in me, my child, believe in me. You
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: feel yourself falling asleep in his arms as his peace
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: surrounds you. Your peaceful and RESTful Father, give this child
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: tonight your faith. Give this child tonight your peace. No
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: wind in their face from the waves, no water at
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: their feet. Just let them hear your peaceful voice. Let
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: them hear your loving voice, your powerful and protecting voice,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: a voice that can calm storms, a voice that brings peace,
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: a voice that brings rest. Sleep pace your breathing as
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: you listen to the word of God, being prayed softly
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: over you. Breathe slow and deep as you hear God's
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: words for you tonight as you lay down to sleep,

  Speaker 2: sustains and cares for you. God will not let you

  Speaker 2: move tonight. You will be at peace. He will be

  Speaker 2: Jesus and his disciples are all around you. You hear
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: ge Jesus tell you to prepare, prepare to cross over
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: the Sea of Galilee. You watch as Jesus falls asleep. Jesus,
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: your Savior, curls up in the boat to sleep. You
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: crawl over and sit down next to him. You lean
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: on him. As your savior rests, the wind begins to
• 57:31
