  Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to this time of quiet Christian guided
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: meditation on Abide. This guide is here to help you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: with any sleep or insomnia difficulties you may be having tonight.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: You may want to consider playing it softly next to
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: your pillow as you rest tonight. Before we begin, and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: want you to get into a comfortable place, take care
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of any physical distractions such as noise or light. Find
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: a temperature and a place to lie down that is
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: most comfortable for you. So when you're ready, I want
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you to close your eyes and relax as you listen
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to my voice. Just relax and let me guide you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: through prayer in the Word of God. One reason you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: may be having trouble falling asleep is worrying and anxiety.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: So as we begin, let me lead you in your
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: first prayer of surrender and forgiveness. In this meditation, we
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: hear the depth of David's heart. He wrote after a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: visit from the prophet Nathan, David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: This is a psalm of repentance, of sorrow and seeking restoration.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: As you hear this prayer from Psalm fifty one, feel
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: yourself relaxing, falling back and surrendering yourself into the loving
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and forgiving arms of Jesus, releasing the weight of your
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: worldly cares as you focus on lightness of the Gospel,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the good news of the death, burial, and resurrection of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Let me pray for
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you now, Oh, peaceful and heavenly Father, You give this one,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: your child, sleep for the refreshing of their soul and body.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Grant this one this gift to night. I pray keep
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: them in that perfect peace which you have promised to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: them whose mind is fixed on you, And give them
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: such a sense of your presence that in these moments
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: of silence, they may enjoy the blessed assurance of your
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: love through you, O peaceful and Loving Father, Be merciful
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to this one, O God, because of your constant love,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: because of your great mercy, wipe away their sins, wash
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: away all evil, and make them clean from their sin. Tonight, tonight,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: let them hear the sounds of joy and gladness. Create
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in them tonight a pure heart, O God, give them
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: again the joy that comes from your salvation. God, grant
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this one peace so they can sleep soundlessly and awaken
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: with a renewed spirit, ready to face the day ahead.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' nay Amen, feel Jesus, embrace, Feel Jesus whispering
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: his love and care for you tonight as you sleep.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: As you continue to relax, I want you to pace
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: your breathing as I read scripture to you. As I
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: read the first part of a passage, I want you
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to very slowly breathe in, And then as I read
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: the second part of the passage, I want you to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: breathe out. Listen as I read from Psalm forty six,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: breathe in slowly now as I read, God is our
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: refuge and strength. Now breathe out slowly as I read,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and a very present help in your times of trouble.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Pace your breathing in and out slowly. Again, as I
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: pray over you. From Deuteronomy thirty one, breathe inn, be
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: strong and courageous and out. Do not fear or be
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in dread, and in slowly, for it is the Lord,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: your God and out who goes with you, and he
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: will not leave you out or forsake you in the darkness.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Now feel the presence of Christ, Feel the strength of
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: his arms around you, Feel the tenderness of his hands
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: as they rest on your head. Relax into his presence,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and again, pace your breathing slowly, as this time I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: pray from Luke twelve. And don't be concerned about what
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to eat or what to drenk. Don't worry about such things.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers. But your father
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: already knows your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: all else, and he will give you everything you need.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So don't be afraid little, for it gives your father
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: great happiness to give you the kingdom. Dear Peaceful Father,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: bless this one tonight. Bless them, give them your peace,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Smile upon them, and give them your rest tonight in
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Amen, pace your breathing slowly as I pray
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from lamentations to Lord God. Hear my cry out in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the night at the beginning of the night, watch help
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: me pour out my heart like water before you help
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: me lift my hands to you, Peaceful Father, take the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: burdens of this your child tonight. Their burdens can seem
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so heavy at times. Tonight, help them feel lighter or free, content,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: safe and loved in your arms as you take their
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: burdens in Jesus' name. Amen, your eyes grow heavy, reading
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: for a deep, RESTful sleep. Again, pace your breathing as
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I pray from Psalm three and four. I lay down
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and sleep safely in peace with a tranquil heart. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: will lie down and sleep, for I am alone with you. Lord,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: help me dwell in safety and confidence and trust in you.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Dear peaceful Father, give the child tonight RESTful sleep, and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: let this time of quiet meditation bring them peace, relaxation,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and sleep in your arms. Lord, fill this night with
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: your radiance for them. May they sleep in peace in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: your name. Amen, slow breathing in and out, as I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: pray God's word over you. When you lie down, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: will not be afraid. When you lie down, your sleep
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: will be sweet. When you will lie down, no one
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: will make you afraid. Many will rejoice with you. When
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you lay down, you will be at peace. You will sleep,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: for the Lord keeps you safe. When you lay down
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to sleep, behold, there is an angel touching you at
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: this Your sleep will be pleasant to you. Dear Peaceful Father.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: You have given this child an example of gentleness and humility,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a task that is easy and a burden that is light.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Accept my prayers. To give them the rest that will
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: strengthen them to be of more faithful service to you.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: In Jesus nay emmen, pace your breathing as I pray
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: from Psalm sixty two. For God alone, my soul waits
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: in silence. I quietly submit to Him, for my hope
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: is from Him. He only is my rock. He only
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is my salvation. He only is my fortress. He only
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: is my defense. I will not be shaken. I will

• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I trust confidently in Him at all times. Oh God,
