- 0:20Speaker 2: Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Your loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything from
- 0:33Speaker 2: nothing by his word, and it was good. So let
- 0:39Speaker 2: go of your worries. At the command of God's voice,
- 0:44Speaker 2: the sun and the earth formed, plants and animals came alive.
- 0:52Speaker 2: God is in control of your life, and God is good.
- 0:58Speaker 2: Now it was your eyes softly and take a deep breath.
- 1:05Speaker 2: Get cozy and let your whole body relax. Let your
- 1:11Speaker 2: surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning
- 1:16Speaker 2: of God's magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God, how wonderful
- 1:28Speaker 2: are your works. The heavens declare your glory, Even the
- 1:33Speaker 2: rocks and trees cry out your goodness. By your very breath,
- 1:39Speaker 2: your very word, all things came to be. How beautiful
- 1:46Speaker 2: you are, my God and my Savior. I ask for
- 1:51Speaker 2: your presence, your peace, and your perfect rest tonight in
- 1:57Speaker 2: Jesus's holy name.
- 1:59Speaker 3: Amen.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Now imagine you are there in the beginning. You float
- 2:08Speaker 2: in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
- 2:16Speaker 2: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
- 2:22Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
- 2:27Speaker 2: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
- 2:33Speaker 2: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
- 2:41Speaker 2: He is equal with the Father, yet he does nothing
- 2:45Speaker 2: without the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
- 2:54Speaker 2: Hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
- 2:58Speaker 2: elements of the earth, and over the waters, is the
- 3:02Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace are endless
- 3:09Speaker 2: and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense
- 3:14Speaker 2: his love and his peace deeper than ever before. There
- 3:22Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
- 3:26Speaker 2: the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation.
- 3:32Speaker 2: You anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 3:38Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
- 3:43Speaker 2: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
- 3:49Speaker 2: the nothingness, yet you are completely secure in the arms
- 3:54Speaker 2: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
- 4:01Speaker 2: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
- 4:07Speaker 2: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
- 4:12Speaker 2: a deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you
- 4:17Speaker 2: the story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
- 4:27Speaker 2: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Then you see light, perfect light surrounds you. There is
- 4:42Speaker 2: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
- 4:46Speaker 2: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
- 4:52Speaker 2: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
- 4:57Speaker 2: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And the first day of Creation comes to a close,
- 5:08Speaker 2: God speaks again. Let there be a space between the waters,
- 5:14Speaker 2: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
- 5:18Speaker 2: of the earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
- 5:23Speaker 2: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
- 5:30Speaker 2: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
- 5:34Speaker 2: is the purest air you have ever breathed in and
- 5:39Speaker 2: out you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the
- 5:45Speaker 2: canopy above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes
- 5:51Speaker 2: your soul. And as the second day of Creation comes
- 5:55Speaker 2: to a close. God declares that it is good. It
- 6:00Speaker 2: is good, It is good again. You hear the Lord speak.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place,
- 6:12Speaker 2: so dry ground may appear. You see the water gather
- 6:17Speaker 2: and move into their places. What a wondrous sight of
- 6:21Speaker 2: God gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases.
- 6:27Speaker 2: The Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and
- 6:31Speaker 2: the waters he calls seas. He is giving names to
- 6:35Speaker 2: his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it.
- 6:41Speaker 2: You feel blessed to be part of such a miraculous sight.
- 6:47Speaker 2: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is
- 6:53Speaker 2: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
- 6:57Speaker 2: to receive the seeds of living things. You can smell
- 7:01Speaker 2: the scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the
- 7:06Speaker 2: potential for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and
- 7:14Speaker 2: trees to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
- 7:18Speaker 2: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
- 7:24Speaker 2: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
- 7:28Speaker 2: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers.
- 7:37Speaker 2: The fragrance is breathtaking.
- 7:41Speaker 3: You inhale.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Then exhale, smelling the sweet foods that God has made
- 7:48Speaker 2: for you. It tastes better than anything you have ever eaten,
- 7:53Speaker 2: wholesome and filling, complete and satisfying. And at the close
- 7:59Speaker 2: of the third day, God says, it is good, Yes,
- 8:05Speaker 2: it is good. Then you hear the Lord say, let
- 8:12Speaker 2: there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to
- 8:16Speaker 2: separate the day from the night. Before your very eyes,
- 8:22Speaker 2: God creates lights in the heavens. Stars begins shining in
- 8:27Speaker 2: the night sky one by one, and you realize in
- 8:32Speaker 2: amazement that God knows each of them by name. The
- 8:39Speaker 2: Moon is set in place at God's command, a sphere
- 8:43Speaker 2: to reflect the brilliance of the Sun and be a
- 8:46Speaker 2: light to govern the night. Then the Sun is formed,
- 8:52Speaker 2: aligning perfectly with the Earth. It gives light and warmth
- 8:57Speaker 2: to every living thing that thrives on the planet. You
- 9:01Speaker 2: feel the warmth of its rays on your face. As
- 9:07Speaker 2: the fourth day of Creation comes to a close, you
- 9:11Speaker 2: are in perfect peace. The Sun is shining on one
- 9:16Speaker 2: side of the Earth, while the other side is lit
- 9:19Speaker 2: by the Moon, and the stars of heaven as numerous
- 9:23Speaker 2: as the sand of the sea. Allow yourself to drift
- 9:29Speaker 2: deeper into a relaxed state. As you picture the stars
- 9:34Speaker 2: of heaven, too numerous to count, know without a doubt
- 9:41Speaker 2: that the creator of the universe is watching over you tonight.
- 9:49Speaker 2: As you rest under the stars, you hear the word
- 9:52Speaker 2: of the Lord, saying, let the waters swarm with swarms
- 9:58Speaker 2: of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth
- 10:03Speaker 2: across the expanse of the heavens. As he speaks, the
- 10:09Speaker 2: oceans begin teeming with life, fish and sea creatures of
- 10:14Speaker 2: every kind. You see a limitless variety of colors, shapes,
- 10:19Speaker 2: and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable. You hear the ocean
- 10:26Speaker 2: tides coming in and out, the waves lapping against the shore. Then,
- 10:36Speaker 2: at God's loving command, the sky is filled with birds.
- 10:42Speaker 2: There are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds, and every type of flying
- 10:49Speaker 2: creature you could ever imagine. They're singing to the God
- 10:55Speaker 2: of the universe, praising him for creating them.
- 10:59Speaker 3: In his glory.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Listen to the sweet sound, the sound of creation. The
- 11:08Speaker 2: Lord instructs the fish of the sea and the birds
- 11:11Speaker 2: of the air to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
- 11:19Speaker 2: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
- 11:25Speaker 2: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
- 11:31Speaker 2: part of creation is left, the most important part of
- 11:37Speaker 2: all God's masterpieces, People. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
- 11:45Speaker 2: declare that they will make people in their own image,
- 11:50Speaker 2: in the image of God. He will create them from
- 11:55Speaker 2: the dust of the earth. A man is formed from
- 11:59Speaker 2: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
- 12:04Speaker 2: in the likeness of God. Then from the rib of
- 12:09Speaker 2: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
- 12:14Speaker 2: a companion to love and cherish. God blesses them and
- 12:20Speaker 2: tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill
- 12:24Speaker 2: the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over
- 12:29Speaker 2: the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
- 12:33Speaker 2: and the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind,
- 12:38Speaker 2: provides for them, nurtures them, and walks with them. Allow
- 12:46Speaker 2: yourself to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat from
- 12:52Speaker 2: his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet fellowship
- 13:00Speaker 2: you have with your Creator.
- 13:03Speaker 4: Walk with them.
- 13:06Speaker 2: As the sixth and final day of creation is complete,
- 13:10Speaker 2: you look around and see that it is good, very
- 13:15Speaker 2: very good. Receive this prayer of blessing, Sovereign God, Thank
- 13:25Speaker 2: you for creating me in your image. I am fearfully
- 13:31Speaker 2: and wonderfully made. I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Help your child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless
- 13:44Speaker 2: stars that you have called by name, and help them
- 13:49Speaker 2: to awaken, renewed and refreshed in the morning. In Jesus's
- 13:55Speaker 2: holy name, I pray Amen. Now sleep in peace. The
- 14:04Speaker 2: sovereign Creator knows you by name and has fashioned you
- 14:10Speaker 2: for his glory. Created in Christ Jesus by his word.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Your loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything from
- 14:42Speaker 2: nothing by his word, and it was good. So let
- 14:48Speaker 2: go of your worries. At the command of God's voice,
- 14:53Speaker 2: the sun and the earth formed, plants and animals came alive.
- 15:01Speaker 2: God is in control of your life, and God is good.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Now close your eyes softly and take a deep breath.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Get cozy and let your whole body relax. Let your
- 15:20Speaker 2: surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning
- 15:25Speaker 2: of God's magnificent creation.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Let's pray.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Creator, God, How wonderful are your works. The heavens declare
- 15:40Speaker 2: your glory. Even the rocks and trees cry out your goodness.
- 15:46Speaker 2: By your very breath, your very word, all things came
- 15:52Speaker 2: to be. How beautiful you are, my God and my Savior.
- 15:59Speaker 2: I ask for your presence, your peace, and your perfect
- 16:04Speaker 2: rest tonight in Jesus's holy name.
- 16:08Speaker 4: Amen.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Now imagine you are there in the beginning. You float
- 16:17Speaker 2: in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
- 16:25Speaker 2: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
- 16:31Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
- 16:36Speaker 2: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
- 16:42Speaker 2: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
- 16:50Speaker 2: He is equal with the Father, yet he does nothing
- 16:54Speaker 2: without the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
- 17:07Speaker 2: elements of the earth, and over the waters, is the
- 17:11Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy and peace are endless
- 17:18Speaker 2: and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense

- 17:31Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in

- 17:41Speaker 2: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 17:47Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
- 17:52Speaker 2: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
- 17:58Speaker 2: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
- 18:03Speaker 2: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
- 18:10Speaker 2: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
- 18:21Speaker 2: a deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you
- 18:26Speaker 2: the story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
- 18:36Speaker 2: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Then you see light, perfect light surrounds you. There is
- 18:51Speaker 2: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
- 18:55Speaker 2: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously divided.
- 19:02Speaker 3: Light and darkness. How is this possible?
- 19:06Speaker 2: You are in awe of God, Jesus, the light of
- 19:10Speaker 2: the world, and the first day of Creation comes to
- 19:14Speaker 2: a close. God speaks again, Let there be a space
- 19:22Speaker 2: between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens
- 19:26Speaker 2: from the waters of the earth. A vast expanse divides
- 19:30Speaker 2: the waters, and God calls it the sky. You breathe
- 19:37Speaker 2: deeply of the life giving oxygen God has created out
- 19:42Speaker 2: of nothing. It is the purest air you have ever breathed.
- 19:47Speaker 2: In and out you breathe. The sound of water hovering
- 19:54Speaker 2: in the canopy above and flowing below like a soft current,

- 20:04Speaker 2: comes to a close, God declares that it is good.
- 20:09Speaker 3: It is good. It is good.
- 20:14Speaker 2: Again. You hear the Lord speak, Let the waters beneath
- 20:18Speaker 2: the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground
- 20:22Speaker 2: may appear. You see the water gather and move into
- 20:27Speaker 2: their places. What a wondrous sight of God gathering the
- 20:31Speaker 2: waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The Lord gives

- 31:41Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
- 31:45Speaker 2: the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation,
- 31:51Speaker 2: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 31:57Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
- 32:02Speaker 2: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
- 32:08Speaker 2: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
- 32:13Speaker 2: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
- 32:20Speaker 2: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
- 32:31Speaker 2: a deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you
- 32:36Speaker 2: the story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
- 32:46Speaker 2: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Then you see light, perfect lights around you. There is
- 33:01Speaker 2: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
- 33:05Speaker 2: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
- 33:11Speaker 2: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
- 33:16Speaker 2: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world,
- 33:21Speaker 2: and the first day of Creation comes to a close,
- 33:27Speaker 2: God speaks again, Let there be a space between the waters,
- 33:33Speaker 2: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
- 33:37Speaker 2: of the Earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
- 33:42Speaker 2: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
- 33:49Speaker 2: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
- 33:53Speaker 2: is the purest air you have ever breathed in and
- 33:58Speaker 2: out you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the
- 34:04Speaker 2: canopy above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes
- 34:10Speaker 2: your soul. And as the second day of Creation comes
- 34:14Speaker 2: to a close, God declares that.
- 34:17Speaker 3: It is good. It is good.
- 34:20Speaker 2: It is good. Again, you hear the Lord speak, Let
- 34:27Speaker 2: the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place,
- 34:31Speaker 2: so dry ground may appear. You see the water gather
- 34:36Speaker 2: and move into their places. What a wondrous sight of
- 34:40Speaker 2: God gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases.
- 34:46Speaker 2: The Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and
- 34:50Speaker 2: the waters he calls sees. He is giving names to
- 34:54Speaker 2: his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it.
- 35:00Speaker 2: You feel blessed to be part of such a miraculous sight.
- 35:06Speaker 2: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is
- 35:12Speaker 2: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
- 35:16Speaker 2: to receive the seeds of living things. You can smell
- 35:20Speaker 2: the scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the
- 35:25Speaker 2: potential for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and
- 35:33Speaker 2: trees to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
- 35:37Speaker 2: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
- 35:47Speaker 2: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers.
- 35:56Speaker 2: The fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the
- 36:05Speaker 2: sweet foods that God has made for you. It tastes
- 36:09Speaker 2: better than anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling,
- 36:14Speaker 2: complete and satisfying. And at the close of the third day,
- 36:20Speaker 2: God says it is good. Yes, it is good. Then
- 36:29Speaker 2: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
- 36:33Speaker 2: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
- 36:36Speaker 2: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
- 36:42Speaker 2: the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky one
- 36:48Speaker 2: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
- 36:53Speaker 2: each of them by name. The moon is set in
- 36:59Speaker 2: place at God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance
- 37:04Speaker 2: of the Sun and be a light to govern the night.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
- 37:14Speaker 2: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that thrives.
- 37:18Speaker 4: On the planet.
- 37:20Speaker 2: You feel the warmth of its rays on your face.
- 37:26Speaker 2: As the fourth day of Creation comes to a close,
- 37:30Speaker 2: you are in perfect peace. The Sun is shining on
- 37:35Speaker 2: one side of the Earth, while the other side is
- 37:38Speaker 2: lit by the Moon, and the stars of Heaven as
- 37:41Speaker 2: numerous as the sand of the sea. Allow yourself to
- 37:48Speaker 2: drift deeper into a relaxed state as you picture the
- 37:52Speaker 2: stars of Heaven, too numerous to count. Know without a
- 37:59Speaker 2: doubt that the creator of the universe is watching over
- 38:04Speaker 2: you tonight. As you rest under the stars, you hear
- 38:11Speaker 2: the word of the Lord, saying, let the waters swarm
- 38:16Speaker 2: with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above
- 38:21Speaker 2: the earth across the expanse of the heavens. As he speaks,
- 38:28Speaker 2: the oceans begin teeming with life, fish, and sea creatures
- 38:33Speaker 2: of every kind. You see a limitless variety of colors, shapes,
- 38:38Speaker 2: and sizes their beauty is unfathomable. You hear the ocean
- 38:45Speaker 2: tides coming in and out, the waves lapping against the shore. Then,
- 38:55Speaker 2: at God's loving command, the sky is filled with birds.
- 39:02Speaker 2: There are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds, and every type of flying
- 39:08Speaker 2: creature you could ever imagine. They're singing to the God
- 39:14Speaker 2: of the universe, praising him for creating them in his glory.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Listen to the sweet sound, the sound of creation. The
- 39:27Speaker 2: Lord instructs the fish of the sea and the birds
- 39:30Speaker 2: of the air to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
- 39:38Speaker 2: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
- 39:44Speaker 2: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
- 39:50Speaker 2: part of creation is left, the most important part of
- 39:56Speaker 2: all God's masterpieces, people. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- 40:04Speaker 2: declare that they will make people in their own image,
- 40:09Speaker 2: in the image of God. He will create them from
- 40:14Speaker 2: the dust of the earth. A man is formed from
- 40:18Speaker 2: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
- 40:23Speaker 2: in the likeness of God. Then from the rib of
- 40:28Speaker 2: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
- 40:33Speaker 2: a companion to love and cherish. God blesses them and
- 40:39Speaker 2: tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill
- 40:43Speaker 2: the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over
- 40:48Speaker 2: the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
- 40:52Speaker 2: and the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind,
- 40:57Speaker 2: provides for them natures then and walks with them. Allow
- 41:05Speaker 2: yourself to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat from
- 41:11Speaker 2: his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet fellowship
- 41:19Speaker 2: you have with your Creator.
- 41:22Speaker 4: Walk with them.
- 41:25Speaker 2: As the sixth and final day of creation is complete,
- 41:29Speaker 2: you look around and see that it is good, very
- 41:34Speaker 2: very good. Receive this prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank
- 41:44Speaker 2: you for creating me in your image. I am fearfully
- 41:50Speaker 2: and wonderfully made. I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight.
- 41:58Speaker 2: Help your child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless
- 42:03Speaker 2: stars that you have called by name, and help them
- 42:08Speaker 2: to awaken, renewed and refreshed in the morning. In Jesus'
- 42:14Speaker 2: holy name, I pray. Amen, Now sleep in peace. The
- 42:23Speaker 2: sovereign Creator knows you by name and has fashioned you
- 42:29Speaker 2: for his glory. Created in Christ Jesus by his word.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.
- 42:50Speaker 2: Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.
- 42:56Speaker 2: You are loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything
- 43:03Speaker 2: from nothing by his word, and it was good. So
- 43:09Speaker 2: let go of your worries. At the command of God's voice,
- 43:14Speaker 2: the sun and the earth formed, plants and animals came alive.
- 43:22Speaker 2: God is in control of your life, and God is good.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Now close your eyes softly and take a deep breath.
- 43:35Speaker 2: Get cozy and let your whole body relax. Let your
- 43:41Speaker 2: surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning
- 43:46Speaker 2: of God's magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God, how wonderful
- 43:58Speaker 2: are your works. The heavens declare your glory. Even the
- 44:03Speaker 2: rocks and trees cry out your goodness. By your very breath,
- 44:09Speaker 2: your very word, all things came to be. How beautiful
- 44:16Speaker 2: you are, my God and my Savior. I ask for
- 44:21Speaker 2: your presence, your peace, and your perfect rest tonight in
- 44:27Speaker 2: Jesus's holy name.
- 44:29Speaker 3: Amen.
- 44:33Speaker 2: Now imagine you are there in the beginning. You float
- 44:38Speaker 2: in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
- 44:46Speaker 2: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
- 44:52Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
- 44:57Speaker 2: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
- 45:03Speaker 2: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
- 45:11Speaker 2: He is equal with the Father, yet he does nothing
- 45:15Speaker 2: without the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
- 45:24Speaker 2: Hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
- 45:28Speaker 2: elements of the earth, and over the waters, is the
- 45:32Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace are endless
- 45:39Speaker 2: and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense
- 45:44Speaker 2: his love and his peace deeper than ever before. There
- 45:51Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
- 45:56Speaker 2: the presence of God. As you await his cloorylorious creation,
- 46:02Speaker 2: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 46:08Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
- 46:13Speaker 2: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
- 46:19Speaker 2: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
- 46:24Speaker 2: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
- 46:31Speaker 2: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
- 46:42Speaker 2: a deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you
- 46:47Speaker 2: the story of creation by God's word, you hear God's
- 46:56Speaker 2: voice soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there
- 47:04Speaker 2: be light. Then you see light, perfect light surrounds you.
- 47:12Speaker 2: There is now a difference between night and day. Even
- 47:15Speaker 2: though there is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God
- 47:20Speaker 2: has miraculously divided light and darkness. How is this possible?
- 47:27Speaker 2: You are in awe of God, Jesus, the light of
- 47:31Speaker 2: the world. And the first day of Creation comes to
- 47:35Speaker 2: a close, God speaks again. Let there be a space
- 47:43Speaker 2: between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens
- 47:47Speaker 2: from the waters of the earth. A vast expanse divides
- 47:51Speaker 2: the waters, and God calls it the sky. You breathe
- 47:58Speaker 2: deeply of the life, life giving oxygen God has created
- 48:02Speaker 2: out of nothing. It is the purest air you have
- 48:06Speaker 2: ever breathed. In and out you breathe. The sound of
- 48:13Speaker 2: water hovering in the canopy above and flowing below like
- 48:18Speaker 2: a soft current, soothes your soul. And as the second
- 48:23Speaker 2: day of Creation comes to a close, God declares that
- 48:28Speaker 2: it is good.
- 48:29Speaker 3: It is good. It is good again.
- 48:36Speaker 2: You hear the Lord speak. Let the waters beneath the
- 48:39Speaker 2: sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.
- 48:45Speaker 2: You see the water gather and move into their places
- 48:49Speaker 2: What a wondrous sight of God gathering the waters and
- 48:53Speaker 2: moving them wherever he pleases. The Lord gives the dry
- 48:58Speaker 2: land a name, Earth, and the waters he calls seas.
- 49:04Speaker 2: He is giving names to his glorious creation, and you
- 49:08Speaker 2: are witnessing all of it. You feel blessed to be

- 1:02:27Speaker 2: flowing below like a soft current. Soothes your soul, and
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: as the second day of Creation comes to a close,
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: God declares that it is good. It is good, It
- 1:02:42Speaker 2: is good.
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: Again.
- 1:02:46Speaker 2: You hear the Lord speak, Let the waters beneath the
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.
- 1:02:56Speaker 2: You see the water gather and move into their places.
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: Wondrous sight of God gathering the waters and moving them
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: wherever he pleases. The Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth,
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: and the waters he calls seas. He is giving names
- 1:03:16Speaker 2: to his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it.
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: You feel blessed to be part of such a miraculous sight.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: to receive the seeds of living things. You can smell
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: the scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: potential for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: trees to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers,
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: the fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: sweet foods that God has made for you. It tastes
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: better than anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling,
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: complete and satisfying. And at the close of the third day,
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: God says, it is good. Yes, it is good. Then
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: the heavens. Stars begins shining in the night sky one
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: each of them by name. The Moon is set in
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: place at God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: of the Sun and be a light to govern the night.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: comes to a close, you are in perfect peace. The
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: Sun is shining on one side of the Earth, while
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: the other side is lit by the Moon and the
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: stars of heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state. As
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: you picture the stars of heaven, too numerous to count,
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: Know without a doubt that the creator of the universe
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: is watching over you tonight. As you rest under the stars,
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish
- 1:06:53Speaker 2: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: the sky is.
- 1:07:20Speaker 3: Filled with birds.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: There are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds, and every type of flying
- 1:07:29Speaker 2: creature you could ever imagine. They're singing to the God
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: of the universe, praising him for creating them in his glory.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: Listen to the sweet sound, the sound of creation. The
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: Lord instructs the fish of the sea and the birds
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: of the air to be fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: and insects. The earth is abundant with new life. But
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: as beautiful as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: part of creation is left, the most important part of
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: all God's masterpieces, people. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- 1:08:26Speaker 2: declare that they will make people in their own image,
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: in the image of God. He will create them from
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: the dust of the earth, a man is formed from
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: head to toe. Each part is carefully and lovingly made
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: in the likeness of God. Then from the rib of
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate to him,
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: a companion to love and cherish. God blesses them and
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them to fill
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: the earth and subdue it. He gives them dominion over
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: the fish of the sea, the birds of the air,
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: and the creatures that move on land. God feeds mankind,
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: provides for them, nurtures them, and walks with them. Allow
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: yourself to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat from
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet fellowship
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: you have with your Creator.
- 1:09:43Speaker 4: Walk with them.
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: As the sixth and final day of creation is complete,
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: you look around and see that it is good, very
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: very good. Receive this prayer of blessing, Sovereign God, Thank
- 1:10:05Speaker 2: you for creating me in your image. I am fearfully
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: and wonderfully made. I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: Help your child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: stars that you have called by name, and help them
- 1:10:30Speaker 2: to awaken, renewed and refreshed in the morning. In Jesus'
- 1:10:35Speaker 2: holy name, I pray, Amen. Now sleep in peace. The
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: sovereign Creator knows you by name and has fashioned you
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: for his glory. Created in Christ Jesus by his word.
- 1:11:03Speaker 2: Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: Your loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything from
- 1:11:24Speaker 2: nothing by his word, and it was good. So let
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: go of your worries. At the command of God's voice,
- 1:11:35Speaker 2: the sun and the earth formed, plants and animals came alive.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: God is in control of your life, and God is good.
- 1:11:49Speaker 2: Now close your eyes softly and take a deep breath.
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: Get cozy and let your whole body relax. Let your
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning
- 1:12:07Speaker 2: of God's magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God, how wonderful
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: are your works. The heavens declare your glory. Even the
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: rocks and trees cry out your goodness. By your very breath,
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: your very word, all things came to be. How beautiful
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: you are, my God and my Savior. I ask for
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: your presence, your peace, and your perfect rest tonight in
- 1:12:48Speaker 2: Jesus's holy name.
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: Amen.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: Now imagine you are there in the beginning. You float
- 1:12:59Speaker 2: in the ingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
- 1:13:31Speaker 2: He is equal with the Father, yet he does nothing
- 1:13:35Speaker 2: without the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: elements of the earth, and over the waters, is the
- 1:13:53Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace are endless
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: and heal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense
- 1:14:05Speaker 2: his love and his peace deeper than ever before. There
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation,
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
- 1:14:45Speaker 2: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
- 1:14:58Speaker 2: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: a deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: the story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: Then you see light, perfect light surrounds you. There is
- 1:15:33Speaker 2: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world,
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: and the first day of Creation comes to a close.
- 1:16:00Speaker 2: Speaks again. Let there be a space between the waters,
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: of the earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: is the purest air you have ever breathed. In and
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: out you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: canopy above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: your soul. And as the second day of Creation comes
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: to a close, God declares that it is good.
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: It is good. It is good.
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: Again. You hear the Lord speak, Let the waters beneath
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: may appear. You see the water gather and move into
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: their places. What a wondrous sight of God gathering the
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The Lord gives
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: the dry land a name, Earth, and the waters he
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: calls seas. He is giving names to his glorious creation,
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: and you are witnessing all of it. You feel blessed
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: to be part of such a miraculous sight. You reach
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: down to feel the earth. The soil is cool to
- 1:17:44Speaker 2: the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready to receive
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: the seeds of living things. You can smell the scent
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: of the freshly watered soil flourishing with the potential for life.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: Then God commands seed bearing plants and trees to spring
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: up from the depths of the rich soil. All around you,
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: green plants and vegetation is rising up. Flowering shrubs and
- 1:18:16Speaker 2: fruit bearing trees are growing before your very eyes. Reach
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers. The fragrance
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the sweet foods
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: that God has made for you. It tastes better than
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling, complete and satisfying.
- 1:18:49Speaker 2: And at the close of the third day, God says,
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: it is good, Yes, it is good. Then you hear
- 1:19:01Speaker 2: the Lord say, let there be lights in the expanse
- 1:19:05Speaker 2: of the heavens to separate the day from the night.
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: Before your very eyes, God creates lights in the heavens.
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: Stars begins shining in the night sky one by one,
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: and you realize in amazement that God knows each of
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: them by name. The moon is set in place at

- 1:32:17Speaker 2: soothes your soul. And as the second day of Creation
- 1:32:21Speaker 2: comes to a close, God declares that it is good.
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: It is good. It is good again.
- 1:32:32Speaker 2: You hear the Lord speak. Let the waters beneath the
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.
- 1:32:42Speaker 2: You see the water gather and move into their places.
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: What a wondrous sight of God gathering the waters and
- 1:32:49Speaker 2: moving them wherever he pleases. The Lord gives the dry
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: land a name, Earth, and the waters he calls sees.
- 1:33:00Speaker 2: He is giving names to his glorious creation, and you
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: are witnessing all of it. You feel blessed to be
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: part of such a miraculous sight. You reach down to
- 1:33:16Speaker 2: feel the earth. The soil is cool to the touch.
- 1:33:21Speaker 2: It is rich with nutrients, ready to receive the seeds
- 1:33:25Speaker 2: of living things. You can smell the scent of the
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: freshly watered soil, flourishing with the potential for life. Then
- 1:33:37Speaker 2: God commands seed bearing plants and trees to spring up
- 1:33:42Speaker 2: from the depths of the rich soil. All around you,
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: green plants and vegetation is rising up. Flowering shrubs and
- 1:33:52Speaker 2: fruit bearing trees are growing before your very eyes. Reach
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: out and touch them the leaves, Smell the flowers. The
- 1:34:04Speaker 2: fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the sweet
- 1:34:13Speaker 2: foods that God has made for you. It tastes better
- 1:34:17Speaker 2: than anything you have ever eaten. Wholesome and filling, complete
- 1:34:23Speaker 2: and satisfying, And at the close of the third day,
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: God says, it is good.
- 1:34:31Speaker 3: Yes, it is good.
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: Then you hear the Lord say, let there be lights
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day
- 1:34:44Speaker 2: from the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights
- 1:34:50Speaker 2: in the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky
- 1:34:55Speaker 2: one by one, and you realize in amazement that God
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: knows each of them by name. The Moon is set
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: in place, at God's command, a sphere to reflect the
- 1:35:11Speaker 2: brilliance of the Sun and be a light to govern
- 1:35:14Speaker 2: the night. Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: the Earth. It gives light and warmth to every living
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: thing that thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth
- 1:35:29Speaker 2: of its rays on your face. As the fourth day
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: of Creation comes to a close, you are in perfect peace.
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: The Sun is shining on one side of the Earth,
- 1:35:44Speaker 2: while the other side is lit by the Moon, and
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: the stars of heaven as numerous as the sand of
- 1:35:51Speaker 2: the sea. Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed
- 1:35:58Speaker 2: state as you pay sure the stars of Heaven, too
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: numerous to count, know without a doubt that the creator
- 1:36:09Speaker 2: of the universe is watching over you tonight. As you
- 1:36:16Speaker 2: rest under the stars. You hear the word of the Lord, saying,
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: the heavens. As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life,
- 1:36:39Speaker 2: fish and sea creatures of every kind. You see a
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: limitless variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
- 1:36:52Speaker 2: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
- 1:36:56Speaker 2: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
- 1:37:05Speaker 2: the sky is filled with birds. There are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
- 1:37:13Speaker 2: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine.
- 1:37:20Speaker 2: They're singing to the God of the universe, praising him
- 1:37:24Speaker 2: for creating them in his glory. Listen to the sweet sound,
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the fish of
- 1:37:36Speaker 2: the sea and the birds of the air to be
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles, and insects.
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: The earth is abundant with new life.
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: But as beautiful.
- 1:37:53Speaker 2: As God's creation is, he isn't finished. One part of
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: creation is left. The most important part of all God's masterpieces, people,
- 1:38:08Speaker 2: the Father, Son and Holy spirit, declare that they will
- 1:38:14Speaker 2: make people in their own image, in the image of God.
- 1:38:18Speaker 4: He will create them.
- 1:38:21Speaker 3: From the dust of the earth. A man is.
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: Formed from head to toe. Each part is carefully and
- 1:38:30Speaker 2: lovingly made in the likeness of God. Then from the
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: rib of the man, woman is fashioned as a helpmate
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: to him, a companion to love and cherish. God blesses
- 1:38:46Speaker 2: them and tells them to be fruitful. He encourages them
- 1:38:50Speaker 2: to fill the earth and subdue it. He gives them
- 1:38:54Speaker 2: dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of
- 1:38:58Speaker 2: the air, and the creatures that move on land. God
- 1:39:03Speaker 2: feeds mankind, provides for them, nurtures them, and walks with them.
- 1:39:13Speaker 2: Allow yourself to be fed and nurtured by God. Eat
- 1:39:18Speaker 2: from his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the sweet
- 1:39:26Speaker 2: fellowship you have with your Creator.
- 1:39:30Speaker 4: Walk with them.
- 1:39:32Speaker 2: As the sixth and final day of creation is complete,
- 1:39:36Speaker 2: you look around and see that it is good, very
- 1:39:42Speaker 2: very good. Receive this prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank
- 1:39:52Speaker 2: you for creating me in your image. I am fearfully
- 1:39:57Speaker 2: and wonderfully made. I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight.
- 1:40:05Speaker 2: Help your child sleep deeply under the stars. The countless
- 1:40:11Speaker 2: stars that you have called by name, and help them
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: to awaken, renewed and refreshed in the morning. In Jesus'
- 1:40:22Speaker 2: holy name, I pray Amen. Now sleep in peace. The
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: sovereign Creator knows you by name and has fashioned you
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: for his glory. Created in Christ Jesus by his word.
- 1:40:48Speaker 2: Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.
- 1:40:56Speaker 2: Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.
- 1:41:01Speaker 2: Your loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything from
- 1:41:09Speaker 2: nothing by his word, and it was good. So let
- 1:41:15Speaker 2: go of your worries. At the command of God's voice,
- 1:41:20Speaker 2: the sun and the earth formed, plants and animals came alive.
- 1:41:27Speaker 2: God is in control of your life, and God is good.
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: Now close your eyes softly and take a deep breath.
- 1:41:40Speaker 2: Get cozy and let your whole body relax. Let your
- 1:41:46Speaker 2: surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning
- 1:41:52Speaker 2: of God's magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God, how wonderful
- 1:42:03Speaker 2: are your works. The heavens declare your glory. Even the
- 1:42:09Speaker 2: rocks and trees cry out your goodness. By your very breath,
- 1:42:15Speaker 2: your very word, all things came to be. How beautiful.
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: You are my God and my Savior. I ask for
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: your presence, your peace, and your perfect rest tonight in
- 1:42:33Speaker 2: Jesus's holy name.
- 1:42:35Speaker 3: Amen.
- 1:42:38Speaker 2: Now imagine you are there in the beginning. You float
- 1:42:44Speaker 2: in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
- 1:42:52Speaker 2: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
- 1:42:57Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
- 1:43:03Speaker 2: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
- 1:43:16Speaker 2: He is equal with the Father, yet he does nothing
- 1:43:20Speaker 2: without the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
- 1:43:30Speaker 2: Hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
- 1:43:34Speaker 2: elements of the earth, and over the waters, is the
- 1:43:38Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace are endless
- 1:43:44Speaker 2: and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense
- 1:43:50Speaker 2: his love and his peace deeper than ever before. There
- 1:43:57Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
- 1:44:02Speaker 2: the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation.
- 1:44:08Speaker 2: You anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 1:44:13Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
- 1:44:19Speaker 2: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
- 1:44:24Speaker 2: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
- 1:44:30Speaker 2: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
- 1:44:36Speaker 2: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
- 1:44:43Speaker 2: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
- 1:44:48Speaker 2: a deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you
- 1:44:53Speaker 2: the story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: soft and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
- 1:45:12Speaker 2: Then you see light, perfect light surrounds you. There is
- 1:45:18Speaker 2: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
- 1:45:21Speaker 2: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
- 1:45:28Speaker 2: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
- 1:45:33Speaker 2: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world,
- 1:45:38Speaker 2: and the first day of Creation comes to a close.
- 1:45:44Speaker 2: God speaks again. Let there be a space between the waters,
- 1:45:50Speaker 2: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
- 1:45:53Speaker 2: of the earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
- 1:45:58Speaker 2: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
- 1:46:05Speaker 2: life giving oxygen God has created.
- 1:46:08Speaker 4: Out of nothing.
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: It is the purest air you have ever breathed in
- 1:46:14Speaker 2: and out you breathe the sound of water hovering in
- 1:46:21Speaker 2: the canopy above and flowing below like a soft current,
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: soothes your soul. And as the second day of Creation
- 1:46:30Speaker 2: comes to a close, God declares that it is good.
- 1:46:35Speaker 3: It is good, It is good.
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: Again. You hear the Lord speak, Let the waters beneath
- 1:46:45Speaker 2: the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: may appear. You see the water gather and move into
- 1:46:53Speaker 2: their places. What a wondrous sight of God gathering the
- 1:46:57Speaker 2: waters and moving them wherever he pleases. The Lord gives
- 1:47:03Speaker 2: the dry land a name, Earth, and the waters he
- 1:47:07Speaker 2: calls seas. He is giving names to his glorious creation,
- 1:47:13Speaker 2: and you are witnessing all of it. You feel blessed
- 1:47:18Speaker 2: to be part of such a miraculous sight. You reach
- 1:47:24Speaker 2: down to feel the earth. The soil is cool to
- 1:47:29Speaker 2: the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready to receive
- 1:47:33Speaker 2: the seeds of living things. You can smell the scent
- 1:47:38Speaker 2: of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the potential for life.
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: Then God commands seed bearing plants and trees to spring
- 1:47:51Speaker 2: up from the depths of the rich soil. All around you,
- 1:47:55Speaker 2: green plants and vegetation is rising up. Flowering shrubs and
- 1:48:01Speaker 2: fruit bearing trees are growing before your very eyes reach
- 1:48:07Speaker 2: out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers. The fragrance
- 1:48:14Speaker 2: is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the sweet foods
- 1:48:23Speaker 2: that God has made for you. It tastes better than
- 1:48:26Speaker 2: anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling, complete and satisfying.
- 1:48:34Speaker 2: And at the close of the third day, God says,
- 1:48:38Speaker 2: it is good, Yes, it is good. Then you hear
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: the Lord say, let there be lights in the expanse
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: of the heavens, to separate the day from the night.
- 1:48:55Speaker 2: Before your very eyes, God creates lights in the heavens.
- 1:49:00Speaker 2: Stars begin shining in the night sky one by one,
- 1:49:06Speaker 2: and you realize in amazement that God knows each of
- 1:49:10Speaker 2: them by name. The moon is set in place at
- 1:49:16Speaker 2: God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance of the
- 1:49:21Speaker 2: sun and be a light to govern the night. Then
- 1:49:26Speaker 2: the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth. It
- 1:49:31Speaker 2: gives light and warmth to every living thing that thrives
- 1:49:35Speaker 2: on the planet. You feel the warmth of its rays
- 1:49:39Speaker 2: on your face. As the fourth day of Creation comes
- 1:49:45Speaker 2: to a close, you are in perfect peace. The sun
- 1:49:50Speaker 2: is shining on one side of the Earth, while the
- 1:49:54Speaker 2: other side is lit by the moon and the stars
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: of heaven as numerous as the sel of the sea.
- 1:50:03Speaker 2: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as
- 1:50:08Speaker 2: you picture the stars of heaven, too numerous to count.
- 1:50:14Speaker 2: Know without a doubt that the creator of the universe
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: is watching over you tonight. As you rest under the stars,
- 1:50:27Speaker 2: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
- 1:50:31Speaker 2: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds

- 2:00:51Speaker 2: You hear the Lord speak, Let the waters beneath the
- 2:00:55Speaker 2: sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.
- 2:01:01Speaker 2: You see the water gather and move into their places.
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: What a wondrous sight of God gathering the waters and
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: moving them wherever he pleases. The Lord gives the dry
- 2:01:14Speaker 2: land a name, Earth, and the waters he calls seas.
- 2:01:19Speaker 3: He is giving.
- 2:01:20Speaker 2: Names to his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all
- 2:01:25Speaker 2: of it. You feel blessed to be part of such
- 2:01:29Speaker 2: a miraculous sight. You reach down to feel the earth.
- 2:01:37Speaker 2: The soil is cool to the touch. It is rich
- 2:01:41Speaker 2: with nutrients, ready to receive the seeds of living things.
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: You can smell the scent of the freshly watered soil
- 2:01:50Speaker 2: flourishing with the potential for life. Then God commands seed
- 2:01:58Speaker 2: bearing plants and trees to spring up from the depths
- 2:02:02Speaker 2: of the rich soil. All around you, green plants and
- 2:02:07Speaker 2: vegetation is rising up. Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees
- 2:02:12Speaker 2: are growing before your very eyes. Reach out and touch
- 2:02:19Speaker 2: the leaves, smell the flowers. The fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale,
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: then exhale, smelling the sweet foods that God has made
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: for you. It tastes better than anything you have ever eaten,
- 2:02:39Speaker 2: wholesome and filling, complete and satisfying. And at the close
- 2:02:45Speaker 2: of the third day, God says, it is good, Yes,
- 2:02:50Speaker 2: it is good. Then you hear the Lord say, let
- 2:02:58Speaker 2: there be light in the expands of the heavens to
- 2:03:01Speaker 2: separate the day from the night. Before your very eyes,
- 2:03:07Speaker 2: God creates lights in the heavens. Stars begins shining in
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: the night sky one by one, and you realize in
- 2:03:18Speaker 2: amazement that God knows each of them by name. The
- 2:03:24Speaker 2: moon is set in place at God's command, a sphere
- 2:03:29Speaker 2: to reflect the brilliance of the sun and be a
- 2:03:32Speaker 2: light to govern the night. Then the sun is formed, aligning.
- 2:03:38Speaker 3: Perfectly with the earth.
- 2:03:41Speaker 2: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
- 2:03:44Speaker 2: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
- 2:03:49Speaker 2: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
- 2:03:55Speaker 2: comes to a close, you are in perfect peace. The
- 2:04:00Speaker 2: sun is shining on one side of the Earth, while
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: the other side is lit by the Moon, and the
- 2:04:06Speaker 2: stars of Heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
- 2:04:13Speaker 2: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as
- 2:04:18Speaker 2: you picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count.
- 2:04:24Speaker 2: Know without a doubt that the creator of the universe
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: is watching over you tonight. As you rest under the stars,
- 2:04:37Speaker 2: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
- 2:04:41Speaker 2: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
- 2:04:47Speaker 2: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish
- 2:04:58Speaker 2: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
- 2:05:03Speaker 2: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
- 2:05:11Speaker 2: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
- 2:05:15Speaker 2: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
- 2:05:24Speaker 2: the sky is filled with birds. There are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
- 2:05:32Speaker 2: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine.
- 2:05:39Speaker 2: They're singing to the God of the universe, praising him
- 2:05:43Speaker 2: for creating them in his glory. Listen to the sweet sound,
- 2:05:49Speaker 2: the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the fish of
- 2:05:55Speaker 2: the sea and the birds of the air to be
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: fruitful and multiplied. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles, and insects.
- 2:06:07Speaker 2: The earth is abundant with new life. But as beautiful
- 2:06:12Speaker 2: as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One part of
- 2:06:17Speaker 2: creation is left, the most important part of all God's masterpieces, people.
- 2:06:27Speaker 2: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit declare that they will
- 2:06:33Speaker 2: make people in their own image, in the image of God.
- 2:06:37Speaker 2: He will create them from the dust of the earth.
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: A man is formed from head to toe. Each part
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: is carefully and lovingly made in the likeness of God.
- 2:06:53Speaker 2: Then from the rib of the man, woman is fashioned
- 2:06:57Speaker 2: as a helpmate to him, companion to love and cherish.
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: God blesses them and tells them to be fruitful. He
- 2:07:08Speaker 2: encourages them to fill the earth and subdue it. He
- 2:07:13Speaker 2: gives them dominion over the fish of the sea, the
- 2:07:16Speaker 2: birds of the air, and the creatures that move on land.
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: God feeds mankind, provides for them, nurtures them, and walks
- 2:07:29Speaker 2: with them. Allow yourself to be fed and nurtured by God.
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: Eat from his hand, receive his provision. Rest in the
- 2:07:45Speaker 2: sweet fellowship you have with your Creator.
- 2:07:49Speaker 4: Walk with them.
- 2:07:51Speaker 2: As the sixth and final day of creation is complete,
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: you look around and see that it is good, very
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: very good. Receive this prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: you for creating me in your image. I am fearfully
- 2:08:16Speaker 2: and wonderfully made. I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight.
- 2:08:24Speaker 2: Help your child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless
- 2:08:30Speaker 2: stars that you have called by name, and help them
- 2:08:35Speaker 2: to awaken, renewed and refreshed in the morning. In Jesus's
- 2:08:41Speaker 2: holy name, I pray, Amen. Now sleep in peace. The
- 2:08:50Speaker 2: sovereign Creator knows you by name and has fashioned you
- 2:08:55Speaker 2: for his glory. Created in Christ Jesus by his word.
- 2:09:09Speaker 2: Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.
- 2:09:17Speaker 2: Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: You are loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: from nothing by his word, and it was good. So
- 2:09:36Speaker 2: let go of your worries At the command of God's voice,
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: the sun and the earth formed, plants and animals came alive.
- 2:09:48Speaker 2: God is in control of your life, and God is good.
- 2:09:55Speaker 2: Now close your eyes softly and take it to you breath,
- 2:10:01Speaker 2: get cozy, and let your whole body relax. Let your
- 2:10:07Speaker 2: surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning
- 2:10:13Speaker 2: of God's magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God, how wonderful
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: are your works. The heavens declare your glory. Even the
- 2:10:30Speaker 2: rocks and trees cry out your goodness. By your very breath,
- 2:10:36Speaker 2: your very word, all things came to be. How beautiful
- 2:10:42Speaker 2: you are, my God and my Savior. I ask for
- 2:10:48Speaker 2: your presence, your peace, and your perfect rest tonight in
- 2:10:54Speaker 2: Jesus's holy name.
- 2:10:56Speaker 3: Amen.
- 2:10:59Speaker 2: Now imagine you are there in the beginning. You float
- 2:11:05Speaker 2: in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
- 2:11:13Speaker 2: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
- 2:11:18Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
- 2:11:29Speaker 2: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
- 2:11:37Speaker 2: He is equal with the Father. Yet he does nothing
- 2:11:41Speaker 2: without the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
- 2:11:50Speaker 2: Hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
- 2:11:55Speaker 2: elements of the earth, and over the waters is the
- 2:11:59Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace are endless
- 2:12:05Speaker 2: and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense
- 2:12:11Speaker 2: his love and his peace deeper than ever before. There
- 2:12:18Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
- 2:12:23Speaker 2: the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation,
- 2:12:29Speaker 2: you anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 2:12:34Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable and
- 2:12:40Speaker 2: at ease. You feel as though you are floating through
- 2:12:45Speaker 2: the nothingness. Yet you are completely secure in the arms
- 2:12:51Speaker 2: of the Father. You are safe in the company of Jesus,
- 2:12:57Speaker 2: and you are cradled in the presence of the Spirit.
- 2:13:04Speaker 2: Let God cradle you in his arms, lulling you into
- 2:13:09Speaker 2: a deep and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you
- 2:13:14Speaker 2: the story of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice,
- 2:13:24Speaker 2: soft and still, yet commanding and holy.
- 2:13:30Speaker 3: Let there be light.
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: Then you see light. Perfect light surrounds you. There is
- 2:13:39Speaker 2: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
- 2:13:42Speaker 2: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars, God has miraculously
- 2:13:49Speaker 2: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
- 2:13:54Speaker 2: in awe of God Jesus, the light of the world.
- 2:13:59Speaker 2: And the first day of Creation comes to a close.
- 2:14:05Speaker 2: God speaks again, Let there be a space between the waters,
- 2:14:11Speaker 2: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
- 2:14:14Speaker 2: of the Earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
- 2:14:19Speaker 2: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
- 2:14:26Speaker 2: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
- 2:14:31Speaker 2: is the purest air you have ever breathed in and
- 2:14:36Speaker 2: out you breathe. The sound of water hovering in the
- 2:14:42Speaker 2: canopy above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes
- 2:14:47Speaker 2: your soul. And as the second day of Creation comes
- 2:14:52Speaker 2: to a close, God declares that it is good.
- 2:14:56Speaker 3: It is good.
- 2:14:58Speaker 2: It is good. Again you hear the Lord speak, Let
- 2:15:05Speaker 2: the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place,
- 2:15:09Speaker 2: so dry ground may appear. You see the water gather
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: and move into their places. What a wondrous sight of

- 2:16:56Speaker 2: of the third day, God says it is good, Yes,
- 2:17:01Speaker 2: it is good. Then you hear the Lord say, let
- 2:17:09Speaker 2: there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to
- 2:17:12Speaker 2: separate the day from the night. Before your very eyes,
- 2:17:18Speaker 2: God creates lights in the heavens, stars, begins shining in
- 2:17:23Speaker 2: the night sky one by one, and you realize in
- 2:17:28Speaker 2: amazement that God knows each of them by name. The
- 2:17:35Speaker 2: moon is set in place at God's command, a sphere
- 2:17:40Speaker 2: to reflect the brilliance of the Sun and be a

- 2:17:48Speaker 2: aligning perfectly with the Earth. It gives light and warmth
- 2:17:53Speaker 2: to every living thing that thrives on the planet. You
- 2:17:58Speaker 2: feel the warmth of its rays on your face. As
- 2:18:04Speaker 2: the fourth day of Creation comes to a close, you
- 2:18:08Speaker 2: are in perfect peace. The Sun is shining on one
- 2:18:13Speaker 2: side of the Earth, while the other side is lit
- 2:18:16Speaker 2: by the Moon, and the stars of Heaven as numerous
- 2:18:20Speaker 2: as the sand of the sea. Allow yourself to drift
- 2:18:26Speaker 2: deeper into a relaxed state as you picture the stars
- 2:18:31Speaker 2: of Heaven, too numerous to count, know without a doubt
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: that the creator of the universe is watching over you tonight.

- 2:29:28Speaker 2: God gathering the waters and moving them wherever he pleases.
- 2:29:34Speaker 2: The Lord gives the dry land a name, Earth, and
- 2:29:38Speaker 2: the waters he calls seas. He is giving names to
- 2:29:42Speaker 2: his glorious creation, and you are witnessing all of it.
- 2:29:48Speaker 2: You feel blessed to be part of such a miraculous sight.
- 2:29:54Speaker 2: You reach down to feel the earth. The soil is
- 2:30:00Speaker 2: cool to the touch. It is rich with nutrients, ready
- 2:30:04Speaker 2: to receive the seeds of living things. You can smell
- 2:30:09Speaker 2: the scent of the freshly watered soil, flourishing with the
- 2:30:13Speaker 2: potential for life. Then God commands seed bearing plants and
- 2:30:21Speaker 2: trees to spring up from the depths of the rich soil.
- 2:30:25Speaker 2: All around you, green plants and vegetation is rising up.
- 2:30:31Speaker 2: Flowering shrubs and fruit bearing trees are growing before your
- 2:30:35Speaker 2: very eyes. Reach out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers.
- 2:30:44Speaker 2: The fragrance is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the
- 2:30:53Speaker 2: sweet foods that God has made for you. It tastes
- 2:30:57Speaker 2: better than anything you have ever eaten. Wholesome and filling,
- 2:31:02Speaker 2: complete and satisfying, and at the close of the third day,
- 2:31:08Speaker 2: God says, it is good, Yes, it is good. Then
- 2:31:17Speaker 2: you hear the Lord say, let there be lights in
- 2:31:21Speaker 2: the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from
- 2:31:24Speaker 2: the night. Before your very eyes, God creates lights in
- 2:31:30Speaker 2: the heavens. Stars begin shining in the night sky one
- 2:31:36Speaker 2: by one, and you realize in amazement that God knows
- 2:31:41Speaker 2: each of them by name. The Moon is set in place,
- 2:31:47Speaker 2: at God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance of
- 2:31:52Speaker 2: the Sun and be a light to govern the night.
- 2:31:57Speaker 2: Then the Sun is formed, aligning perfectly with the Earth.
- 2:32:02Speaker 2: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
- 2:32:05Speaker 2: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
- 2:32:10Speaker 2: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
- 2:32:16Speaker 2: comes to a close, you are in perfect peace. The
- 2:32:22Speaker 2: Sun is shining on one side of the Earth, while
- 2:32:25Speaker 2: the other side is lit by the Moon, and the
- 2:32:28Speaker 2: stars of heaven as numerous as the sand of the sea.
- 2:32:34Speaker 2: Allow yourself to drift deeper into a relaxed state as
- 2:32:40Speaker 2: you picture the stars of Heaven, too numerous to count,
- 2:32:46Speaker 2: know without a doubt that the creator of the universe
- 2:32:51Speaker 2: is watching over you. Tonight, as you rest under the stars,
- 2:32:59Speaker 2: you hear the word of the Lord, saying, let the
- 2:33:03Speaker 2: waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds
- 2:33:08Speaker 2: fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.
- 2:33:14Speaker 2: As he speaks, the oceans begin teeming with life, fish
- 2:33:20Speaker 2: and sea creatures of every kind. You see a limitless
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Their beauty is unfathomable.
- 2:33:32Speaker 2: You hear the ocean tides coming in and out, the
- 2:33:37Speaker 2: waves lapping against the shore. Then, at God's loving command,
- 2:33:46Speaker 2: the sky is filled with birds. There are eagles, sparrows, hummingbirds,
- 2:33:54Speaker 2: and every type of flying creature you could ever imagine.
- 2:34:00Speaker 2: They're singing to the God of the universe, praising him
- 2:34:04Speaker 2: for creating them in his glory. Listen to the sweet sound,
- 2:34:11Speaker 2: the sound of creation. The Lord instructs the fish of
- 2:34:17Speaker 2: the sea and the birds of the air to be
- 2:34:19Speaker 2: fruitful and multiply. There are giraffes, zebras, reptiles, and insects.
- 2:34:28Speaker 2: The earth is abundant with new life. But as beautiful
- 2:34:33Speaker 2: as God's creation is, he isn't finished. One part of
- 2:34:39Speaker 2: creation is left. The most important part of all God's
- 2:34:45Speaker 2: masterpieces people. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit declare that
- 2:34:54Speaker 2: they will make people in their own image, in the
- 2:34:57Speaker 2: image of God. He will create them from the dust
- 2:35:03Speaker 2: of the earth, a man is formed from head to toe.
- 2:35:08Speaker 2: Each part is carefully and lovingly made in the likeness
- 2:35:12Speaker 2: of God. Then from the rib of the man, woman
- 2:35:18Speaker 2: is fashioned as a helpmate to him, a companion to
- 2:35:22Speaker 2: love and cherish. God blesses them and tells them to
- 2:35:28Speaker 2: be fruitful. He encourages them to fill the earth and
- 2:35:32Speaker 2: subdue it. He gives them dominion over the fish of
- 2:35:36Speaker 2: the sea, the birds of the air, and the creatures
- 2:35:40Speaker 2: that move on land. God feeds mankind, provides for them,
- 2:35:47Speaker 2: nurtures them, and walks with them. Allow yourself to be
- 2:35:55Speaker 2: fed and nurtured by God. Eat from his hand, receive
- 2:36:02Speaker 2: his provision. Rest in the sweet fellowship you have with
- 2:36:08Speaker 2: your Creator.
- 2:36:10Speaker 4: Walk with them.
- 2:36:13Speaker 2: As the sixth and final day of creation is complete,
- 2:36:17Speaker 2: you look around and see that it is good, very
- 2:36:22Speaker 2: very good. Receive this prayer of blessing. Sovereign God, Thank
- 2:36:32Speaker 2: you for creating me in your image. I am fearfully
- 2:36:38Speaker 2: and wonderfully made. I ask for perfect peace and rest tonight.
- 2:36:46Speaker 2: Help your child sleep deeply under the stars, the countless
- 2:36:51Speaker 2: stars that you have called by name, and help them
- 2:36:56Speaker 2: to awaken, renewed and refreshed in the morning. In Jesus'
- 2:37:02Speaker 2: holy name, I pray Amen. Now sleep in peace. The
- 2:37:11Speaker 2: sovereign Creator knows you by name and has fashioned you
- 2:37:17Speaker 2: for his glory, created in Christ Jesus by his word.
- 2:37:30Speaker 2: Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.
- 2:37:37Speaker 2: Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.
- 2:37:43Speaker 2: Your loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything from
- 2:37:51Speaker 2: nothing by his word, and it was good. So let
- 2:37:57Speaker 2: go of your worries. At the command and of God's voice,
- 2:38:02Speaker 2: the sun and the earth formed, plants and animals came alive.
- 2:38:09Speaker 2: God is in control of your life, and God is good.
- 2:38:16Speaker 2: Now close your eyes softly and take a deep breath.
- 2:38:22Speaker 2: Get cozy and let your whole body relax. Let your
- 2:38:28Speaker 2: surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself watching the beginning
- 2:38:34Speaker 2: of God's magnificent creation. Let's pray, Creator, God, how wonderful
- 2:38:45Speaker 2: are your works. The heavens declare your glory. Even the
- 2:38:51Speaker 2: rocks and trees cry out your goodness. By your very breath,
- 2:38:57Speaker 2: your very word all things came to be. How beautiful
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: you are, my God and my Savior. I ask for
- 2:39:09Speaker 2: your presence, your peace, and your perfect rest tonight in
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: Jesus' holy name.
- 2:39:16Speaker 3: Amen.
- 2:39:20Speaker 2: Now imagine you are there in the beginning. You float
- 2:39:25Speaker 2: in the nothingness that surrounds you. Yet even in the nothingness,
- 2:39:33Speaker 2: the fullness of God is present, the Father, the Son,
- 2:39:39Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit. The Father has authority over everything
- 2:39:45Speaker 2: in the entire universe. He is there as the orchestrator
- 2:39:50Speaker 2: and director of all things. Jesus the Son is there too.
- 2:39:58Speaker 2: He is equal with Father, yet he does nothing without
- 2:40:03Speaker 2: the Father's direction. Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
- 2:40:11Speaker 2: Hovering over the vastness of the universe, over the formless
- 2:40:15Speaker 2: elements of the earth, and over the waters, is the
- 2:40:19Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. The Spirit's love, joy, and peace are endless
- 2:40:26Speaker 2: and eternal. As God hovers over you tonight, you sense
- 2:40:32Speaker 2: his love and his peace deeper than ever before. There
- 2:40:39Speaker 2: is darkness all around you, but you are secure in
- 2:40:44Speaker 2: the presence of God. As you await his glorious creation.
- 2:40:49Speaker 2: You anticipate his voice that by his word all things
- 2:40:55Speaker 2: will be set into motion. You are completely comfortable.
- 2:41:00Speaker 3: And at ease.
- 2:41:03Speaker 2: You feel as though you are floating through the nothingness.
- 2:41:08Speaker 2: Yet you are completely secure in the arms of the Father.
- 2:41:14Speaker 2: You are safe in the company of Jesus, and you
- 2:41:19Speaker 2: are cradled in the presence of the Spirit. Let God
- 2:41:26Speaker 2: cradle you in his arms, lulling you into a deep
- 2:41:30Speaker 2: and RESTful sleep. Tonight, as I tell you the story
- 2:41:35Speaker 2: of creation by God's word, you hear God's voice, soft
- 2:41:46Speaker 2: and still, yet commanding and holy. Let there be light.
- 2:41:53Speaker 2: Then you see light, perfect light surrounds you. There is
- 2:41:59Speaker 2: now a difference between night and day. Even though there
- 2:42:03Speaker 2: is no sun, nor moon, nor stars. God has miraculously
- 2:42:09Speaker 2: divided light and darkness. How is this possible? You are
- 2:42:15Speaker 2: in awe of God, Jesus, the light of the world,
- 2:42:19Speaker 2: and the first day of Creation comes to a close.
- 2:42:26Speaker 2: God speaks again. Let there be a space between the waters,
- 2:42:32Speaker 2: to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters
- 2:42:35Speaker 2: of the earth. A vast expanse divides the waters, and
- 2:42:40Speaker 2: God calls it the sky. You breathe deeply of the
- 2:42:47Speaker 2: life giving oxygen God has created out of nothing. It
- 2:42:51Speaker 2: is the purest air you have ever breathed in and
- 2:42:56Speaker 2: out you breathe the sound of water hovering in the
- 2:43:02Speaker 2: canopy above and flowing below like a soft current, soothes
- 2:43:08Speaker 2: your soul. And as the second day of Creation comes
- 2:43:12Speaker 2: to a close, God declares that it is good.
- 2:43:17Speaker 3: It is good. It is good.
- 2:43:22Speaker 2: Again. You hear the Lord speak, Let the waters beneath
- 2:43:27Speaker 2: the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground
- 2:43:31Speaker 2: may appear. You see the water gather and move into
- 2:43:35Speaker 2: their places. What a wondrous sight of God gathering the
- 2:43:39Speaker 2: waters and moving them wherever he pleases.
- 2:43:44Speaker 3: The Lord gives the.
- 2:43:45Speaker 2: Dry land a name, Earth, and the waters he calls sees.
- 2:43:51Speaker 2: He is giving names to his glorious creation, and you
- 2:43:55Speaker 2: are witnessing all of it. You feel blessed to be
- 2:44:00Speaker 2: part of such a miraculous sight. You reach down to
- 2:44:07Speaker 2: feel the earth. The soil is cool to the touch.
- 2:44:12Speaker 2: It is rich with nutrients, ready to receive the seeds
- 2:44:16Speaker 2: of living things. You can smell the scent of the
- 2:44:20Speaker 2: freshly watered soil, flourishing with the potential for life. Then
- 2:44:28Speaker 2: God commands seed bearing plants and trees to spring up
- 2:44:33Speaker 2: from the depths of the rich soil. All around you,
- 2:44:37Speaker 2: green plants and vegetation is rising up. Flowering shrubs and
- 2:44:43Speaker 2: fruit bearing trees are growing before your very eyes. Reach
- 2:44:49Speaker 2: out and touch the leaves, smell the flowers. The fragrance
- 2:44:55Speaker 2: is breathtaking. You inhale, then exhale, smelling the sweet foods
- 2:45:04Speaker 2: that God has made for you. It tastes better than
- 2:45:08Speaker 2: anything you have ever eaten, wholesome and filling, complete and satisfying.
- 2:45:16Speaker 2: And at the close of the third day, God says,
- 2:45:20Speaker 2: it is good, Yes, it is good. Then you hear
- 2:45:28Speaker 2: the Lord say, let there be lights in the expanse
- 2:45:32Speaker 2: of the heavens to separate the day from the night.
- 2:45:37Speaker 2: Before your very eyes, God creates lights in the heavens.
- 2:45:42Speaker 2: Stars begins shining in the night sky one by one,
- 2:45:48Speaker 2: and you realize in amazement that God knows each of
- 2:45:52Speaker 2: them by name. The moon is set in place, at
- 2:45:58Speaker 2: God's command, a sphere to reflect the brilliance of the
- 2:46:02Speaker 2: Sun and be a light to govern the night. Then
- 2:46:08Speaker 2: the Sun is formed, aligning.
- 2:46:10Speaker 3: Perfectly with the Earth.
- 2:46:12Speaker 2: It gives light and warmth to every living thing that
- 2:46:16Speaker 2: thrives on the planet. You feel the warmth of its
- 2:46:20Speaker 2: rays on your face. As the fourth day of Creation
- 2:46:27Speaker 2: comes to a close, you are in perfect peace. The
- 2:46:32Speaker 2: Sun is shining on one side of the Earth, while
