- 30:01Speaker 2: on him. As your Savior rests, the wind begins to

- 30:16Speaker 2: Then you begin to feel water at your feet. You
- 30:21Speaker 2: wake up your Master, who is sleeping. You see the
- 30:27Speaker 2: look of peace in his eyes. You are in awe
- 30:31Speaker 2: of that peace. And Jesus waves his hand, perhaps without
- 30:38Speaker 2: even taking his eyes off of you, and you feel
- 30:43Speaker 2: the wind stop. The waves are gone, and Jesus whispers
- 30:51Speaker 2: to you, my child, have faith in me, my child,

- 1:00:09Speaker 2: of the creator of the universe.
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: Tonight.
- 1:00:17Speaker 2: Let this resting child feel your wings over them tonight
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: as they rest. Let this sleeping child feel the shield
- 1:00:28Speaker 2: of your arms protecting them from fear and harm. Tonight.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Let this peaceful soul feel the wall protecting them from
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: harm tonight, the wall built lovingly by you, the creator
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: of the universe, the creator that sits down now by
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: the side of this child as they sleep in Jesus name, Amen.
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: Pace your breathing as you listen to the story from
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: Luke chapter eight. Bread slowly and deeply, as you imagine
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: yourself in this boat. Jesus and his disciples are all
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: around you. You hear Jesus tell you to prepare, prepare
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: to cross over the Sea of Galilee. You watch as
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: Jesus falls asleep. Jesus, your Savior, curls up in the
- 1:01:42Speaker 2: boat to sleep. You crawl over and sit down next
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: to you. You lean on him. As your Savior rests,
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: the wind begins to hit your face. You feel the
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: spray from the waves. Then you begin to feel water
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: at your feet. You wake up your Master, who is sleeping.
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: You see the look of peace.
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: In his eyes.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: You are in awe of that peace. Then Jesus waves
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: his hand, perhaps without even taking his eyes off of you,
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: and you feel the wind stop. The waves are gone,
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: and Jesus whispers to you, my child, have faith in me,
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: my child, believe in me. You feel yourself falling asleep
- 1:02:54Speaker 2: in his arms as his peace surrounds you. Welcome to
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: the bedtime story. My help comes from God. Taken from
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: Psalm chapter one hundred and twenty one. I invite you
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: now to relax and close your eyes softly, be comfortable,
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: and allow the presence of the Lord to fill your heart.
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: Make a slow, deep breath as we journey through the
- 1:03:30Speaker 2: mountains and valleys of Psalm chapter one twenty one, as
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: we reflect on God's comfort and provision for you. Remember,
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: God loves you and cares for you. All the help
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: you'll ever need comes from Him. Allow me to pray
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: over you as you begin to dream and drift into
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: a peaceful night of sleep. Poor God, I ask that
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: you watch over your child tonight, hold them in the
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: fold of your tender loving arms. And Father, I pray
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: for deep rest and security for this dear and wonderful
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: person that you love and care for. Give them visions
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: and dreams of your hope, and refresh them for a
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: new day. Be their help in time of need, and
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: allow them to sleep deeply tonight, in the name of
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. So
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: imagine that you're in a peaceful valley. It's lush and green,
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: with glorious rolling hills that rise and fall into the distance.
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: Wildflowers dot the landscape with vibrant color, yellow daffodils, white
- 1:05:03Speaker 2: jasmine with sweet smelling petals. You walk slowly through the
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: valley in perfect peace, breathing the fresh spring air. Up above,
- 1:05:17Speaker 2: you see a clear blue sky with wispy clouds floating overhead.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: There is stillness and peace all around. You are fully
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: content and fully relaxed in the valley, and Jesus is
- 1:05:34Speaker 2: there with you. He is happy that you want to
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: spend time with him. Here. See the glow of his smile.

- 1:06:51Speaker 2: going out and your coming in. From this time forth
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: and evermore, we come to a soft blanket spread out
- 1:07:03Speaker 2: for you in the shade. The sun will not strike
- 1:07:06Speaker 2: you by day, nor the moon by night. Jesus invites
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: you to rest here, and you lie dreamily in the valley.

- 1:08:03Speaker 2: From deep sleep. Jesus walks again with you through the valley.
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: He continues speaking Saw one twenty one over you, slowly,
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: like a command, making each word true. I lift up

- 1:28:15Speaker 2: your going out and your coming in from this time
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: forth and forevermore. As you go through the valley and
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: find pasture, your life is locked in and secured in

- 1:29:18Speaker 2: God is with you. Allow His presence to cover you
- 1:29:23Speaker 2: as you sleep in total peace tonight. Just dream peacefully
- 1:29:28Speaker 2: as I pray, Gracious God, thank you for your provision
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: over your loved one. Tonight I ask for healing, rest
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: and peaceful sleep. As they trust in you. Help them
- 1:29:44Speaker 2: always to remember that their help comes from You alone.
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: In Jesus Holy name, I pray Amen. Now, May the
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make
- 1:29:58Speaker 2: his face shine upon you.
- 1:29:59Speaker 3: And be great to you.
- 1:30:01Speaker 2: May the Word turn his face towards you and give
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: you peace. Hi, and welcome to this time of quiet
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: Christian guided meditation on Abide. This guide is here to
- 1:30:21Speaker 2: help you with any sleep or insomnia difficulties that you
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: may be having tonight. You may want to consider playing
- 1:30:29Speaker 2: this softly next to your pillow as you rest. If
- 1:30:35Speaker 2: you fall asleep before this time of meditation is over.
- 1:30:38Speaker 2: Don't worry. It will stop automatically. Then you will fall
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: asleep listening to prayers and the sweet word of God.
- 1:30:46Speaker 2: How beautiful is that. If you don't fall asleep, then
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: simply and softly tap the replay button and you can
- 1:30:54Speaker 2: join me again if you like. But before we begin,
- 1:30:59Speaker 2: I want you to gain into a comfortable place, take
- 1:31:03Speaker 2: care of any physical distractions such as noise or light,
- 1:31:08Speaker 2: and find a temperature and a place to lie down
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: that is most comfortable for you. You might take this
- 1:31:19Speaker 2: moment too, to choose some music on abide, music that's
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: peaceful for you, or you may choose to simply listen
- 1:31:27Speaker 2: in silence. So when you're ready, I want you to
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: close your eyes and relax as you listen to my voice.
- 1:31:37Speaker 2: Just relax and let me guide you through prayer and
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: the word of God. One reason you may be having
- 1:31:46Speaker 2: trouble falling asleep is worry and anxiety. So as we begin,
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: let me lead you in your first prayer of surrender
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: and forgiveness. As you hear this prayer from Psalm fifty one,
- 1:32:01Speaker 2: just feel yourself relaxing, falling back, and surrendering yourself into
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: the loving and forgiving arms of Jesus, releasing the weight
- 1:32:12Speaker 2: of your worldly cares as you focus on the lightness
- 1:32:17Speaker 2: of the gospel, the good news of the death, burial,
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: and resurrection of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. So
- 1:32:27Speaker 2: let me pray for you now, Oh peaceful and heavenly Father,
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: You give this one here, your child sleep, for the
- 1:32:40Speaker 2: refreshing of their soul and their body. Grant this one
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: this gift tonight, I pray keep them in that perfect
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: peace which you have promised to them whose mind is
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: fixed on you, And give them such a sense of
- 1:32:59Speaker 2: your prayer presence that in these moments of silence, they
- 1:33:04Speaker 2: may enjoy the blessed assurance of your love through you,
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: Oh peaceful and loving Father, Be merciful to this one,
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: Oh God, because of your constant love, because of your
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: great mercy, wipe away their anxiety, wash away all evil,
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: and make them clean from their sin. Tonight, tonight, let
- 1:33:55Speaker 2: them hear the sounds of joy and gladness created them tonight,
- 1:34:00Speaker 2: a pure heart of God, give them again the joy
- 1:34:06Speaker 2: that comes from your salvation. God, grant them this one
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: piece so they can sleep soundlessly and awaken with a
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: renewed spirit. Ready to face the day ahead in Jesus name. Amen,
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: take a moment now to just feel the embrace of Jesus.
- 1:34:53Speaker 2: Feel Jesus whispering his love and care for you tonight
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: as you sleep, as you cantinue to relax. I want
- 1:35:02Speaker 2: you to begin pacing your breathing as I read scripture
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: to you. As I read the first part of a passage,
- 1:35:34Speaker 2: I want you to very slowly breathe in, And then
- 1:35:38Speaker 2: as I read the second part of the passage, I
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: want you to breathe out. Listen as I read from
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: Psalm chapter forty six, breathe in slowly now as I read,
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: God is our refuge and strength. Now breathe out slowly
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: as I read, and a very present help in your
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: times of trouble. Pace your breathing in and out slowly again,
- 1:36:10Speaker 2: as I pray over you from Deuteronomy chapter thirty one,
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: breathe in, be strong and courageous, and now breathe out.
- 1:36:23Speaker 2: Do not fear or be in dread, and in slowly,
- 1:36:30Speaker 2: for it is the Lord your God, and now out
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: who goes with you in. He will not leave you
- 1:36:42Speaker 2: an out or forsake you in the darkness. Now feel
- 1:37:11Speaker 2: the presence of Christ. Feel the strength of his arms
- 1:37:16Speaker 2: around you, Feel the tenderness of his hands as they
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: rest on your head. Just relax now into his presence.
- 1:37:49Speaker 2: Pace your breathing slowly again as I pray from Luke
- 1:37:52Speaker 2: Chapter twelve. Breathing in slowly, and don't be concerned about
- 1:37:59Speaker 2: what to eat or what to drink. Don't worry about
- 1:38:04Speaker 2: such things. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: your father already knows your needs. So seek the Kingdom
- 1:38:19Speaker 2: of God above all else, and he will give you
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: everything you need. So don't be afraid, little one, for
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: it gives your father great happiness to give you the kingdom.
- 1:39:00Speaker 2: Dear Peaceful Father, bless this one tonight. Bless them, give
- 1:39:07Speaker 2: them your peace. Smile upon them, and give them your
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: rest tonight in Jesus name. Amen. Continue to pace your
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: breathing slowly as I pray from Lamentations Chapter two. Lord God,
- 1:39:50Speaker 2: hear my cry out in the night at the beginning
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: of the night, Watch help me pour out my heart
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: like water before you. Help me lift my hands to
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: you tonight. Dear Peaceful Father, take the burdens of this
- 1:40:33Speaker 2: your child tonight. Their burdens can seem so heavy at times,
- 1:40:39Speaker 2: but tonight help them feel lighter, more free, content, safe
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: and loved in your arms as you take their burdens
- 1:40:53Speaker 2: in Jesus' name. Amen, pace your breathing again, as I
- 1:41:22Speaker 2: pray from Psalms Chapter three and four, I lay down
- 1:41:28Speaker 2: and sleep safely in peace with a tranquil heart. I
- 1:41:39Speaker 2: will lie down and sleep, for I am alone with you,
- 1:41:45Speaker 2: O Lord, help me dwell in safety and confidence and
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: trust in you. Dear peaceful Father, give this child tonight

- 1:43:24Speaker 2: will make you afraid. Many will rejoice with you. When

- 1:43:34Speaker 2: will sleep, for the Lord keeps you safe. When you
- 1:43:41Speaker 2: lay down to sleep, behold, there is an angel with
- 1:43:47Speaker 2: you that this your sleep will be pleasant to you.
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: Dear peaceful Father, You have given this your child an
- 1:44:21Speaker 2: example of gentleness and humility, a task that is easy
- 1:44:26Speaker 2: and a burden that is light. Accept my prayers to

- 1:53:07Speaker 2: around you. You hear Jesus tell you to prepare, prepare
- 1:53:14Speaker 2: to cross over the Sea of Galilee. You watch as
- 1:53:19Speaker 2: Jesus falls asleep. Jesus your Savior curls up in the
- 1:53:26Speaker 2: boat to sleep. You crawl over and sit down next
- 1:53:32Speaker 2: to him. You lean on him. As your Savior rests,
- 1:53:39Speaker 2: the wind begins to hit your face. You feel the
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: spray from the waves. Then you begin to feel water
- 1:53:50Speaker 2: at your feet. You wake up your Master, who is sleeping.
- 1:53:58Speaker 2: You see the look of peace in his head eyes.
- 1:54:02Speaker 2: You are in awe of that peace. Then Jesus waves
- 1:54:07Speaker 2: his hand, perhaps without even taking his eyes off of you,
- 1:54:13Speaker 2: and you feel the wind stop. The waves are gone.
- 1:54:21Speaker 2: Then Jesus whispers to you, my child, have faith in me,
- 1:54:28Speaker 2: my child, believe in me. You feel yourself falling asleep
- 1:54:35Speaker 2: in his arms as his peace surrounds you. Your peaceful

- 1:58:58Speaker 2: the strength of his arms, or you feel the tenderness
- 1:59:02Speaker 2: of his hands as they rest on your head. Just

- 2:15:13Speaker 2: crawl over and sit down next to him. You lean
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: on him. As your Savior rests, the wind begins to
- 2:15:24Speaker 2: hit your face. You feel the spray from the waves.
- 2:15:31Speaker 2: Then you begin to feel water at your feet. You

- 2:58:10Speaker 2: him as your Savior rests, the wind begins to hit
- 2:58:17Speaker 2: your face. You feel the spray from the waves. Then
- 2:58:24Speaker 2: you begin to feel water at your feet. You wake
- 2:58:29Speaker 2: up your Master, who is sleeping. You see the look
- 2:58:34Speaker 2: of peace in his eyes. You are in awe of
- 2:58:39Speaker 2: that peace. Then Jesus waves his hand, perhaps without even
- 2:58:46Speaker 2: taking his eyes off of you, and you feel the
- 2:58:49Speaker 2: wind stop. The waves are gone. Then Jesus whispers to you,
- 2:58:59Speaker 2: my child, have faith in me, my child, believe in me.
- 2:59:09Speaker 2: You feel yourself falling asleep in his arms as his
- 2:59:13Speaker 2: peace surrounds you. Dear peaceful Father, thank you for your peace,
- 3:00:19Speaker 2: for your care, for your love, for your mercy, and
- 3:00:25Speaker 2: your salvation. As this child of yours finds sleep tonight.
- 3:00:31Speaker 2: As they sleep, let them feel your presence over them.
- 3:00:36Speaker 2: Let them sleep under your wings tonight. And it is
- 3:00:40Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus.
- 3:00:41Speaker 3: I pray over them.
- 3:00:43Speaker 2: Amen.
