  Speaker 1: you into true peace and deep rest, which are both
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: gifts God desires to give you. Before we begin, let's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: get any distractions out of the way. Make sure the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: lights are low and you're in a comfortable position, not
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: too hot and not too cold. If you'd like to

  Speaker 1: What better way to fall asleep than while hearing God's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: sweet promises. As we prepare to begin, take a moment
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to name any worries that are weighing you down. Don't
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: be ashamed of your anxiety, offer it to God. Remember
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that Jesus said that you could cast your cares on him.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Picture your worries like rocks in a backpack. Take them
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: out one by one and hand them to Jesus. If
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: those worries show up in your backpack again, that's okay.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Just give them to Jesus again. He is our ever
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: present help in times of trouble. He does not grow weary,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and he desires to give you his peace. Having surrendered
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: your worries and fears to God, feel the lightness in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: your spirit. You don't have to carry those things anymore.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You're free of them. Feel the weight gone from your shoulders.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Feel the muscles of your neck and back loosen and relax,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: free of the burden they were carrying. Notice your breath.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Don't judge it, just notice it. Is it shallow or deep? Now?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: As you breathe out, surrender more of your worries to God.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Feel your tension moved through your body and out with
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: your breath. As you exhale, then breathe in God's peace.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Feeling it move through your body and expanding inside of you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Feel the relaxation in your shoulders deepen as you breathe
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: out the tension and breathe in God's peace. Keep breathing
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: out the tension and in the peace of God, as
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I read to you from Psalm for answer me when
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I call to you, my Righteous God, give me relief
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: from my distress. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: for himself. The Lord hears when I call to him.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Tremble and do not say. When you are on your beds,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: search your hearts and be silent. Offer the sacrifices of
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the righteous, and trust in the Lord. God. You answer
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: when we call to you, and you alone have the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: power to answer prayers. Please have mercy on your child.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Relieve your child's distress and anxiety. Lift the burdens from
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: their shoulders, and help them to trust your power and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: your providence, Your deep love were them. I ask this
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Re Laxation spread out from your shoulders and back into
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: your arms and deep inside your chest. Feel each individual
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: muscle loosen, continuing to breathe out your tension and in
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: God's peace. Let your awareness of God's mercy be stronger
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: than any other thought in your mind. Let's pray These
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: words from Psalm three cover you like a blanket, but You, Lord,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: are a shield around me, my glory, the one who
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: down in sleep. I wake again because the Lord sustains me.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: From the Lord, Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: on your people. God, You are our protector and defender
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and deliverer. Your children have nothing to fear for you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: are with us. Thank you for hearing prayers and answering them.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you for staying with your child through the night,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: never leaving or forsaking them. Thank you for the new
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: mercies you have for this child when you wake them
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: in the morning. In the name of the Father, Son
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and Holy Spirit, I pray. Listen to your breathing. Listen
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to your breathing, slow and steady. Breathe out any tension.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Breathe in God's peace. Slowly meditate on these words. I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: will lie down and sleep and sleep in peace for
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you alone. O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Let
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: them become your refrain. I will lie down and sleep
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and sleep in peace for you alone. O Lord, make
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: me dwell in safety. I will lie down and sleep
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: and sleep in peace for you alone, O Lord, make
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: me dwell in safety. Let the rhythm of that refrain
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: be come the rhythm of your heart as we hear

  Speaker 1: these words from Psalm For Oh God, you have declared
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: me perfect in your eyes. You have always cared for
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: me in my distress. Hear me now as I call again,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Have mercy on me. Hear my prayer. The gladness you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: have given me is far greater than the joy at
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: harvest time. I will lie down in peace and sleep,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: for though I am alone, Oh Lord, you will keep
• 8:44
