  Speaker 2: Welcome to this bedtime story from Abide Asleep Meditation, written
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: from the inspiration of the Scriptures to help you relax
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: and release the worries of the day tonight. I encourage
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: you to remove all distractions from the room it's settled
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: into bed and make yourself comfortable. Take a few deep
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: breaths in and out. Feel your muscles relax and all
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the tension leave your body as you inhale and exhale.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Invite the Holy Spirit to be with you tonight. Feel
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: his presence cover you as you wait for sleep to come.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Let go of all other thoughts as you focus only
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: on the presence of the Lord and his gift of
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: sleep to you. Perhaps you've never thought of sleep as
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a gift from God, but it is. It is a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: beautiful gift of peace and rest that comes from the
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: hand of the Father. Let that sink into your mind
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: for several moments. Now, let's unwrap the gift of sleep tonight.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Imagine a beautifully wrapped package handed to you. By your
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: loving creator. He encourages you to untie the ribbon and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: just let it fall away. He guides you to remove
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the wrapping and set it aside. He waits patiently as
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you open the box to discover a beautiful gift, the
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: gift of sleep. Spend a few quiet moments embracing this
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: gift with a heart of thankfulness to the one who
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: loves you and cares about you. Please let me pray
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: over you tonight. Thank you, good Father, for the gift
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of sleep. Thank you for knowing just what your beloved
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: child needs at the end of a long day. Help
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: them release every worry and concern to you tonight. Please
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: cover them with your peace and protection so they can
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: fully relax and find true rest in your presence. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: pray this in the precious name of your Son Jesus. Amen.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Sleep is the cessation of labor. It is the time
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: of day that we let go of every unfinished task.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: We surrender it to the hands of the Father. He
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: will take care of it. He will guard what we
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: have committed to him. Take a moment to commit everything
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to God. Whatever remains undone, It's okay. Let it go.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Rest peacefully in the savior tonight. Don't worry about a thing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: He's got this, He's got you. Often when sleep eludes us,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: it's because we're holding on to the cares of this life.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: We struggle to let go of them, because we struggle
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to trust God. We forget that God is the head
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: of our households, is sovereign over us, As the Psalmist
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: says and Psalm one twenty seven, unless the Lord builds
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: in vain. Dear one, the Lord is watching over you tonight.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: There is no need to stay awake with your worries
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: or concerns, for the Lord does not slumber nor sleep.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: He will keep watch over you. Rest in that comforting
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: thought for several moments. The Psalmist goes on to say
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that it is useless for you to work so hard
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: food to eat, for God gives rest to his loved ones.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: God gives rest to his loved ones. You are loved
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: by God. He has given you the gift of sleep.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: It overtakes you from head to toe. You feel your
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: whole body relaxed. You close your eyes and take a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: deep breath in and slowly let it out. What beautiful
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: gifts our Father gives to those he loves. Assurance, peace, relaxation, security,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: can sleep. Embrace his gift of sleep tonight as I pray,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: let it become the prayer of your heart. Heavenly Father,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: thank you for your gift of sleep. What a precious
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: gift it is. I am so thankful for your presence tonight.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Your love comforts me, Your gift of sleep restores me.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. I believe you are sovereign over all things,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: over my life, my work, and my rest. I release
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: all of my anxieties to you. Thank you so much
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: for gifting me with peace and rest tonight in Jesus's name. Amen.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Now sink your head deeper into the pillow and pull
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: the covers around you. Allow your breathing to fall into
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a steady rhythm, in and out, in and out. Feel
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: the gift of sleep envelop you like a soft cocoon.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Gently it wraps around you, securing you in the loving
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: arms of the Father, like the cocoon of a butterfly.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Sleep begins to encase you in soft, silky warmth. The
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: strands of God's peace enclose you in the gentlest way possible,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: for He is a gentle father, kind and good. From
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the top of your head to the bottom of your feet,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you feel safe, guarded and secure, rest and the security
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: of God's love for several moments. Sleep is a gift
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: for our bodies, for it allows processing and restoring and
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: strengthening to take place. As we drift through sleep cycles,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: our minds are able to process the day's events. We
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: are able to organize information, file it away, and remember
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: what is most important. Each sell in our body benefits
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: from sleep. It rejuvenates us, repairs our tissues, and restores
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: us from a long day of hard work. Oh, what
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: a beautiful gift from our heavenly Father. He knows just
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: what our bodies need. He created us, He created sleep.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Rest in that assurance for a few moments. Not only
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: do our physical bodies need sleep, our spirits need God's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: true rest. In the Book of Hebrews, chapter four, we
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: read about God's promise of rest, which comes through faith
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: in Jesus Christ. For we who have believed do enter
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: that rest. We who believe, we who trust, we who
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: put our faith in the savior of our souls. We
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: enter God's promise of rest. Settle your heart on that
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: promise for a few moments. Now, please allow me to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: pray over you again. Lord, Thank you for restoring your
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: beloved one tonight every night as they sleep. Thank you
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: for rejuvenating them. You know just what they need. You
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: are good, you are sovereign, you are holy. Please allow
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: true rest to come to your child tonight as they
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: trust in you. Settle their minds, repair their bodies, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: restore their hearts unto you. Thank you Lord in Jesus name. Amen.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Breathe softly in and out. Inhale the sweet presence of
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the Lord. He is with you. Exhale the remnants of
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: a long day. Release it all to him. Hear the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: words of the psalmist again from Psalm one twenty seven,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: a Psalm of Solomon. It is useless for you to
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: work so hard from early morning until late at night,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: anxiously working for food to eat, for God gives rest
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: to his loved ones. Now be assured that rising early
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: at the start of a new day, ready to work
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: with willing hands is a good thing. However, starting the
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: day with an anxious heart isn't beneficial at all. There
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: is no need to be anxious. There is no need
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to fret. God is with you. Instead of rising early
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: with burdens on your heart, consider starting your mourning with
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: a quiet meditation. Let God's word be the first words
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: you hear each day, for His mercies are new every morning.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Let his mercies flow over you now for several moments. Then,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: as you move through your day, no matter what comes,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: you can recall the sweet words of wisdom you heard
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: that morning, in the quiet hour, before anyone else was awake.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: You heard from the God of all creation. You can
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: carry his word with you as a guide, a comfort,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and a peaceful meditation. At the end of the day,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: resist the temptation to keep working and toiling into the night.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Listen to the wise words of Solomon, who said, the
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Lord gives sleep to his beloved. The Lord gives sleep
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: to his beloved. You are his beloved. Each evening, carve
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: out some time to be still before the Lord. Make
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: room in your schedule to thank him for guiding you
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: through the day. Invite his presence into your household, Ask
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: him to cover you as you sleep. Then, as you
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: lay your head down for the night, and pull the
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: warm covers around you. Begin to unwrap God's gift of sleep.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Untie the ribbon of divine rest, open the box, and
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: embrace the gift of true rest. In the Lord his
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: gift of sleep to you. Feel his peace in the room,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Feel his presence surrounding you. Hear his words of comfort
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: flow through you heart, mind, and soul. Inhale and exhale.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Continue to breathe softly in and out as I say
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a prayer over you, Heavenly Father, in the name of
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: your Son Jesus, I pray over this beloved one tonight.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I ask that you help them surrender their lives to
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: you and receive the gift of true rest. I pray
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: that they find comfort and peace in your presence. Please
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: help them let go of anything that is on their
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: mind or heart. Tonight. Thank you for loving them, thank
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: you for watching over them, and thank you for the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: gift of sleep. Amen. Now let's unwrap the gift of
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: sleep tonight. Imagine a beauty fleet wrapped package handed to
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: you by your loving creator. He encourages you to untie
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: the ribbon and just let it fall away. He guides
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: you to remove the wrapping and set it aside. He
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: waits patiently as you open the box to discover a
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: beautiful gift, the gift of sleep. Spend a few quiet
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: moments embracing this gift with a heart of thankfulness to
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the one who loves you and cares about you. Please
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: let me pray over you tonight. Thank you, good Father,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: for the gift of sleep. Thank you for knowing just
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: what your beloved child needs at the end of a
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: long day. Help them release every worry and concern to
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: you tonight. Please cover them with your peace and protection
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: so they can fully relax and find true rest in
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: your presence. I pray this in the precious name of
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: your Son, Jesus Amen. Sleep is the cessation of labor.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: It is the time of day that we let go
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: of every unfinished task. We surrender it to the hands
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: of the Father, and he will take care of it.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: He will guard what we have committed to him. Take
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: a moment to commit everything to God. Whatever remains undone,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: it's okay. Let it go. Rest peacefully in the Savior tonight.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about a thing. He's got this, and he's
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: got you. Often when sleep eludes us, it's because we're
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: holding on to the cares of this life. We struggle
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: to let go of them. Because we struggle to trust God.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: We forget that God is the head of our households.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: He is sovereign over us, as the Psalmist says and
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Psalm one twenty seven. Unless the Lord builds the house,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Dear one, the Lord is watching over you tonight. There
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: is no need to stay awake with your worries or concerns,
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: for the Lord does not slumber nor sleep. He will
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: keep watch over you. Rest and that comforting thought for
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: several moments. The Psalmist goes on to say that it
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: is useless for you to work so hard from early
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: for God gives rest to his loved ones. God gives
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: rest to his loved ones. You are loved by God.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: He has given you the gift of sleep. It overtakes
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: you from head to toe. You feel your whole body relaxed.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You close your eyes and take a deep breath in
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: and slowly let it out. What beautiful gifts our Father
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: gives to those he loves assurance, peace, relaxation, security, can sleep.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: Embrace his gift of sleep tonight, as I pray, let
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: it become the prayer of your heart. Heavenly Father, thank
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you for your gift of sleep. What a precious gift
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: it is. I am so thankful for your presence tonight.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Your love comforts me, Your gift of sleep restores me.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. I believe you are sovereign over all things,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: over my life, my work, and my rest. I release
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: all of my anxieties to you. Thank you so much
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: for gifting me with peace and rest tonight in Jesus's name. Amen,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Now sink your head deeper into the pillow and pull
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the covers around you. Allow your breathing to fall into
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: a steady rhythm, in and out, in and out. Feel
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: the gift of sleep envelop you like a soft cocoon.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Gently it wraps around you, securing you in the loving
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: arms of the Father, like the cocoon of a butterfly.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Sleep begins to encase you in soft, silky warmth. The

  Speaker 2: strands of God's peace enclose you in the gentlest way possible,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: For he is a gentle father, kind and good. From
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the top of your head to the bottom of your feet,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: you feel safe, guarded, and secure, rest and the security
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: of God's love for several moments. Sleep is a gift
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: for our bodies, for it allows processing, restoring, and strengthening
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: to take place. As we drift through sleep cycles, our

  Speaker 2: It rejuvenates us, repairs our tissues, and restores us from

  Speaker 2: a long day of hard work. Oh, what a beautiful
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: gift from our heavenly Father. He knows just what our
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: bodies do need. He created us, He created sleep. Rest
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: in that assurance for a few moments. Not only do
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: our physical bodies need sleep, our spirits need God's true rest.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: In the Book of Hebrews, chapter four, we read about
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: God's promise of rest, which comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: For we who have believed do enter that rest. We
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: who believe, we who trust, we who put our faith
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: in the Savior of our souls, we enter God's promise
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: of rest. Settle your heart on that promise for a
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: few moments. Now Please allow me to pray over you again. Lord,
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Thank you for restoring your beloved one tonight every night
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: as they sleep, Thank you for rejuvenating them. You know

  Speaker 2: just what they need. You are good, You are sovereign,
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: You are holy. Please allow true rest to come to
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: your child tonight as they trust in you, settle their minds,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: repair their bodies, and restore their hearts unto you. Thank
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: you Lord in Jesus name. Amen. Breathe softly in and out.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Inhale the sweet presence of the Lord. He is with you.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Exhale the remnants of a long day, Release it all
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: to him. Hear the words of the psalmist again from
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Psalm one twenty seven, a Psalm of Solomon. It is
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: useless for you to work so hard from early morning
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: for God gives rest to his loved ones. Now be
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: assured that rising early at the start of a new day,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: ready to work with willing hands is a good thing. However,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: starting the day with an anxious heart isn't beneficial at all.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: There is no need to be anxious, there is no
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: need to fret. God is with you. Instead of rising
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: early with burdens on your heart. Consider starting your mourning
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: with a quiet meditation. Let God's word be the first
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: words you hear each day, For his mercies are new
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: every morning. Let his mercies flow over you now for
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: several moments. Then, as you move through your day, no
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: matter what comes, you can recall the sweet words of
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: wisdom you heard that morning, in the quiet hour, before
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: anyone else was awake. You heard from the God of
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: all creation. You can carry his word with you as
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: a guide, a comfort, and a peaceful meditation. At the
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: end of the day, resist the temptation to keep working
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: and toiling into the night. Listen to the wise words
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: of Solomon, who said, the Lord gives sleep to his beloved.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: The Lord gives sleep to his beloved. You are his beloved.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Each evening, carve out some time to be still before
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Make room in your schedule to thank him
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: for guiding you through the day. Invite his presence into
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: your household. Ask him to cover you as you sleep. Then,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: as you lay your head down for the night and
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: pull the warm covers around you, begin to unwrap God's
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: gift of sleep. Untie the ribbon of divine rest, open
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: the box and embrace the gift of true rest in
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: the Lord his gift of sleep to you. Feel his
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: peace in the room, Feel his presence surrounding you. Hear
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: his words of comfort flow through you heart, mind, and soul.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Inhale and exhale. Continue to breathe softly in and out
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: as I say a prayer over you, Heavenly Father, in
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: the name of your Son Jesus, I pray over this
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: beloved one tonight. I ask that you help them surrender
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: their lives to you and receive the gift of true rest.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: I pray that they find comfort and peace in your presence.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Please help them let go of anything that is on
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: their mind or heart. Tonight. Thank you for loving them,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: thank you for watching over them, and thank you for
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: the gift of sleep. Amen. Now let's unwrap the gift
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: of sleep tonight. Imagine a beautifully wrapped package handed to
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: you by your loving creator. He encourages you to untie
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: the ribbon and just let it fall away. He guides
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: you to remove the wrapping and set it aside. He
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: waits patiently as you open the box to discover a
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: beautiful gift, the gift of sleep. Spend a few quiet
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: moments embracing this gift with a heart of thankfulness to
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: the one who loves you and cares about you. Please
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: let me pray over you tonight. Thank you, Good Father,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: for the gift of sleep. Thank you for knowing just
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: what your beloved child needs at the end of a
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: long day. Help them release every worry and concern to
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: you tonight. Please cover them with your peace and protection
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: so they can fully lacks and find true rest in
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: your presence. I pray this in the precious name of
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: your Son Jesus. Amen. Sleep is the cessation of labor.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: It is the time of day that we let go
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: of every unfinished task. We surrender it to the hands
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: of the Father. He will take care of it. He
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: will guard what we have committed to him. Take a
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: moment to commit everything to God. Whatever remains un done,
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: it's okay. Let it go. Rest peacefully in the Savior tonight.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about a thing. He's got this, He's got you.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Often when sleep eludes us, it's because we're holding on
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: to the cares of this life. We struggle to let
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: go of them, because we struggle to trust God. We
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: forget that God is the head of our households. He
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: is sovereign over us, as the Psalmist says, and so
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: him one twenty seven. Unless the Lord builds the house,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: those who build it lay in vain. Unless the Lord
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Dear one, the Lord is watching over you tonight. There
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: is no need to stay awake with your worries or concerns,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: for the Lord does not slumber nor sleep. He will
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: keep watch over you. Rest in that comforting thought for
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: several moments. The Psalmist goes on to say that it
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: is useless for you to work so hard from early
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: For God gives rest to his loved ones. God gives
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: rest to his loved ones. You are loved by God.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: He has given you the gift of sleep. It overtakes
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: you from head to toe. You feel your whole body relaxed.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: You close your eyes and take a deep breath in
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: and slowly let it out. What beautiful gifts our Father
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: gives to those he loves. Assurance, peace, relaxation, security, can sleep.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Embrace his gift of sleep tonight, as I pray, let
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: it become the prayer of your heart. Heavenly Father, thank
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: you for your gift of sleep. What a precious gift
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: it is. I am so thankful for your presence tonight.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Your love comforts me, your gift of sleep restores me.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord. I believe you are sovereign over all things,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: over my life, my work, and my rest. I release
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: all of my anxieties to you. Thank you so much
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: for gifting me with peace and rest tonight in Jesus's name. Amen,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Now sink your head deeper into the pillow and pull
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: the covers around you. Allow your breathing to fall into
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: a steady rhythm, in and out, in and out. Feel
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: the gift of sleep envelop you like a soft cocoon.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Gently it wraps around you, securing you in the loving
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: arms of the Father, like the cocoon of a butterfly.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Sleep begins to encase you in soft, silky warmth. The
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: strands of God's peace enclose you in the gentlest way possible,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: for He is a gentle father, kind and good. From
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: the top of your head to the bottom of your feet,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: you feel safe, guard it and secure rest and the
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: security of God's love. For several moments. Sleep is a
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: gift for our bodies, for it allows processing and restoring
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: and strengthening to take place. As we drift through sleep cycles,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: our minds are able to process the day's events. We
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: are able to organize information, file it away, and remember
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: what is most important. Selling our body benefits from sleep.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: It rejuvenates us, repairs our tissues, and restores us from
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: a long day of hard work. Oh, what a beautiful
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: gift from our heavenly Father. He knows just what our
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: bodies need. He created us, He created sleep. Rest in
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: that assurance for a few moments. Not only do our
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: physical bodies need sleep, our spirits need God's true rest.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: In the Book of Hebrews, chapter four, we read about
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: God's promise of rest, which comes through faith in Jesus Christ.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: For we who have believed do enter that rest. We
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: who believe, we who trust, we who put our faith
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: in the savior of our souls, we enter God's promise
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: of rest. Settle your heart on that promise for a
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: few moments. Now, please allow me to pray over you again. Lord,
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Thank you for restoring your beloved one tonight every night
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: as they sleep, Thank you for rejuvenating them You know
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: just what they need. You are good, You are sovereign,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: You are holy. Please allow true rest to come to
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: your child tonight. As they trust in you, settle their minds,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: repair their bodies, and restore their hearts unto you. Thank
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: you Lord in Jesus' name. Amen. Breathe softly in and out.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Inhale the sweet presence of the Lord. He is with you.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Exhale the remnants of a long day. Release it all
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: to him. Hear the words of the psalmist again from
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Psalm one twenty seven, a Psalm of Solomon. It is
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: useless for you to work so hard from early morning
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat,
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: for God gives rest to his loved ones. Now be
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: assured that rising early at the start of a new day,
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: ready to work with willing hands is a good thing. However,
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: starting the day with an anxious heart isn't beneficial at all.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: There is no need to be anxious, there is no
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: need to fret. God is with you. Instead of rising
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: early with burdens on your heart, consider starting your mourning
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: with a quiet meditation. Let God's word be the first
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: words you hear each day. For his mercies are new
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: every morning. Let his mercies flow over you now for
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: several moments. Then, as you move through your day, no
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: matter what comes, you can recall the sweet words of
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: wisdom you heard that morning, in the quiet hour, before
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: anyone else was awake. You heard from the God of
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: all creation. You can carry his word with you as
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: a guide, a comfort, and a peaceful meditation. At the
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: end of the day. Resist the temptation to keep working
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: and toiling into the night. Listen to the wise words
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: of Solomon, who said, the Lord gives sleep to his beloved.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: The Lord gives sleep to his beloved. You are his beloved.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Each evening, carve out some time to be still before
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Make room in your schedule to thank him
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: for guiding you through the day. Invite his presence into
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: your household. Ask him to cover you as you sleep. Then,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: as you lay your head down for the night and
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: pull the warm covers around you, begin to unwrap God's
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: gift of sleep. Untie the ribbon of divine rest. Open
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: the box and embrace the gift of true rest in
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: the Lord. His gift of sleep to you. Fuel his
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: peace in the room. Feel his presence surrounding you hear
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: his words of comfort flow through you heart, mind, and soul.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: Inhale and exhale. Continue to breathe softly in and out
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: as I say a prayer over you, Heavenly Father, in
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: the name of your Son Jesus, I pray over this
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: beloved one tonight. I ask that you help them surrender
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: their lives to you and receive the gift of true rest.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: I pray that they find comfort and peace in your presence.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Please help them let go of anything that is on
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: their mind or heart tonight. Thank you for loving them,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: thank you for watching over them, and thank you for
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: the gift of sleep. Amen. Now let's unwrap the gift
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: of sleep tonight. Imagine a beautifully wrapped package handed to
• 57:48

• 58:26
  Speaker 2: moments embracing this gift with a heart of thankfulness to
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: the one who loves you and cares about you. Please
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: let me pray over you tonight. Thank you, Good Father,
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: for the gift of sleep. Thank you for knowing just
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: what your beloved child needs at the end of a
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: long day. Help them release every worry and concern to
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: you tonight. Please cover them with your peace and protection
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: so they can fully relax and find true rest in

• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: let it go. Rest peacefully in the Savior tonight. Don't
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: worry about a thing. He's got this, and he's got you.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: Often when sleep eludes us, it's because we're holding on
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: to the cares of this life. We struggle to let
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: go of them, because struggle to trust God. We forget

  Speaker 2: that God is the head of our households. He is
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: sovereign over us, as the Psalmist says and Psalm one
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: twenty seven. Unless the Lord builds the house, those who
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: build it labor in vain unless the Lord watches over
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Dear one,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: the Lord is watching over you tonight. There is no

  Speaker 2: need to stay awake with your worries or concerns, for
