- 0:07Speaker 1: holy scripture will help you softly fall asleep in the
- 0:11Speaker 1: caring arms of God, who loves you and watches over
- 0:15Speaker 1: you as you rest. As you begin, shift your mind
- 0:19Speaker 1: slowly away from today's tasks and worries. Soak instead in
- 0:25Speaker 1: God's presence and begin to get comfortable. Close your eyes
- 0:30Speaker 1: and relax. Breathe in God's peace and breathe out your troubles.

- 1:19Speaker 1: as they rest in you. In Jesus' name, Amen, Now
- 1:25Speaker 1: drift off to the land of dreams. As the story begins,
- 1:32Speaker 1: imagine standing in the streets of Jerusalem two thousand years ago.
- 1:37Speaker 1: The soft, muted conversations of people are humming around you.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Shepherds are leading herds of goats and.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Sheep back and forth.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Their hoofs scuffle on stone floors. In the market, bakers
- 1:54Speaker 1: are selling stacks of thin crisp on leaven bread well
- 2:01Speaker 1: feels warm and inviting. People are talking, shopping, and carrying
- 2:07Speaker 1: baskets of groceries, meat, matza, and herbs. They've come from
- 2:14Speaker 1: across the country to get ready for the seven day
- 2:17Speaker 1: Passover celebration. It's the biggest feast of the year, an
- 2:22Speaker 1: annual celebration that answers the question, why is this night
- 2:27Speaker 1: different from all other nights? Why is this day different
- 2:32Speaker 1: than any other typical day? But this year's celebration seems
- 2:38Speaker 1: even more different, somehow more tense. You can feel you
- 2:44Speaker 1: are living in trouble.
- 2:46Speaker 2: At times.
- 2:48Speaker 1: In the Bible, Peter knew about trouble.
- 2:51Speaker 2: At times, he knew pain.
- 2:54Speaker 1: He knew how it felt to be judged unfairly by
- 2:57Speaker 1: the world. You'd watched g Jesus get judged unfairly by
- 3:02Speaker 1: priests and crowds, and the Roman courts Peter was arrested, chained,
- 3:09Speaker 1: and thrown in prison unfairly, but in the end he
- 3:14Speaker 1: saw God's powerful rescue. In surprising ways, God's rescue turned
- 3:20Speaker 1: these bad situations into great displays of his grace. So,
- 3:26Speaker 1: whether your life seems fair or not, your Father in
- 3:30Speaker 1: heaven and his angels are working.
- 3:33Speaker 2: For your good.
- 3:34Speaker 1: But this evening, as Hebrew families begin to gather to
- 3:39Speaker 1: celebrate Passover, they can sense trouble in the air. Settled
- 3:45Speaker 1: in now, as the story unfolds through the eyes of Peter,
- 3:50Speaker 1: King Herod isn't sparing you or the other followers of Jesus.
- 3:56Speaker 1: He has arrested innocent Christians. He had James, the brother
- 4:01Speaker 1: of John, put to death by the sword. When he
- 4:05Speaker 1: saw that this pleased many Jews, Herod sent soldiers to
- 4:09Speaker 1: arrest you unfairly during the Passover and put you in prison.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Jesus was also arrested unfairly at the Passover. Right before
- 4:19Speaker 1: his arrest, you and the other disciples were praying for Jesus.
- 4:24Speaker 1: You fell asleep in the garden, and an angel of
- 4:27Speaker 1: the Lord appeared to Jesus to strengthen him. So where
- 4:32Speaker 1: are the angels of the Lord now? That King Herod
- 4:36Speaker 1: has his eyes set on you. You need their help
- 4:40Speaker 1: to strengthen you. Now too, see them camped around Jerusalem
- 4:46Speaker 1: waiting for God's word to deliver you. Rest for a
- 4:51Speaker 1: moment and breathe in that same spirit of trust from God.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Breathe out and release your world worries. Breathe then, let
- 5:04Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit fill.
- 5:05Speaker 2: You with faith. Just rest now in God's arms.
- 5:21Speaker 1: A group of Roman soldiers arrives, carrying shields and swords.
- 5:26Speaker 1: They arrest you and lead you outside of the city
- 5:29Speaker 1: gates down to the prison. There are so many guards
- 5:34Speaker 1: sixteen in total, that most of them cannot fit inside
- 5:38Speaker 1: the cramped cell with you.
- 5:40Speaker 2: It's cramped and hot, stifling.
- 5:45Speaker 1: A large group stands guard at the prison gate, talking
- 5:48Speaker 1: and eating.
- 5:50Speaker 2: You have not eaten.
- 5:52Speaker 1: The stone floor is hard and lumpy and cold. Night
- 5:58Speaker 1: passes comes with no word on your fate. Your stomach
- 6:04Speaker 1: growls and your back is stiff. The room smells of sweat.
- 6:10Speaker 1: A guard posts on each side of you. Steel chains
- 6:15Speaker 1: are clamped around each of your wrists, cutting into your
- 6:18Speaker 1: aching arms. How can you lay down comfortably like this?
- 6:24Speaker 1: You seek peace in the knowledge that God has been
- 6:27Speaker 1: faithful to.
- 6:28Speaker 2: You in the past night comes again, you.
- 6:33Speaker 1: Will be placed on trial tomorrow. You've been on trial
- 6:36Speaker 1: before the time you were with John teaching that the
- 6:41Speaker 1: dead would not come back to life. Through Jesus, you
- 6:44Speaker 1: healed a lame man, and then the temple guards arrested you.
- 6:49Speaker 1: The head priests made you and John stand in front
- 6:52Speaker 1: of them, and they asked, by what power or in
- 6:56Speaker 1: whose name did you do these things? The Holy Spirit
- 7:02Speaker 1: had filled you, and you answered so strongly that they
- 7:05Speaker 1: were amazed. You've had no special training in scripture from
- 7:09Speaker 1: the priests, but you knew truth because you were taught
- 7:13Speaker 1: by Jesus. Rest for another moment and think about how
- 7:18Speaker 1: amazing it feels to know truth because.
- 7:22Speaker 2: You were taught by Jesus. You are deep asleep now.
- 7:37Speaker 1: The heavy rhythmic breathing of the guards fills the cell
- 7:42Speaker 1: in hallway outside. Suddenly, your face feels the warmth of light.
- 7:51Speaker 1: A beautiful glow shines down across your cheeks, filling your cell.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It almost feels like a dream, a vision, and you
- 8:01Speaker 1: feel a hand bump into you. You open your eyes
- 8:07Speaker 1: and a bright figure stands before.
- 8:09Speaker 2: You get up.
- 8:13Speaker 1: The heavenly figure says quickly, the heavy chains suddenly snap
- 8:20Speaker 1: open and fall off your wrists. They clang loudly onto
- 8:24Speaker 1: the stone. You sit up and rub your aching hands together,
- 8:30Speaker 1: taking a long, deep breath. Your arms and body are
- 8:35Speaker 1: light and free. But who is this guiding you? It
- 8:40Speaker 1: must be an angel. The angel speaks once more. Get
- 8:49Speaker 1: dressed and put on your sandals. It feels like you're dreaming,
- 8:56Speaker 1: but you do what the angel orders, and the glow
- 9:00Speaker 1: of light pouring out from the angel. You find your
- 9:03Speaker 1: shirt and slip it over your head. You slip your
- 9:06Speaker 1: sandals on to your feet. Now put on your coat
- 9:12Speaker 1: and follow me. The angel says, oh, yeah, your coat.
- 9:17Speaker 1: You slide your arms into your coat sleeves. You're fully
- 9:20Speaker 1: dressed again, warm and safe. You've gotten back everything they
- 9:25Speaker 1: took when they arrested you. The angel then steps out
- 9:30Speaker 1: of the cell, and you follow it past the sleeping
- 9:33Speaker 1: guards without saying a word. You pass the first guard post,
- 9:38Speaker 1: then the second. The light shines across the bearded faces
- 9:43Speaker 1: of the guards, but not a single one of them
- 9:45Speaker 1: wake up. Why don't they wake up? Can they not
- 9:49Speaker 1: see the light outside? You begin to hike up the
- 9:54Speaker 1: road behind the bright figure and see the walls of
- 9:58Speaker 1: the city ahead. A large iron gate bars the road,
- 10:03Speaker 1: but as you approach the gate, it creaks and slowly
- 10:08Speaker 1: swings open all by itself. You enter the city and
- 10:13Speaker 1: walk down the street.
- 10:15Speaker 2: You're alone.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Where is the angel gone? You breathe in the fresh
- 10:22Speaker 1: night air, and your mind clears. At last, you stand
- 10:27Speaker 1: free in the city streets of Jerusalem, brought to safety
- 10:31Speaker 1: by an angel of the Lord. You didn't even get
- 10:34Speaker 1: to say thank you. You take another look ahead for
- 10:37Speaker 1: the angel, and then back behind you down toward the prison.
- 10:43Speaker 1: An awesome, wild joy swells in your heart. Today the
- 10:48Speaker 1: Passover celebration will finish. You remember the question why is
- 10:54Speaker 1: this night different from all other nights? You realize that
- 10:59Speaker 1: the Lord has passed over you and saved you from
- 11:02Speaker 1: all of your sins. It's really true, you say, the
- 11:07Speaker 1: Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod
- 11:11Speaker 1: and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do
- 11:13Speaker 1: to me. The angels of the Lord really do camp
- 11:17Speaker 1: around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Now.
- 11:23Speaker 1: May God surround and protect you with his angels. May
- 11:27Speaker 1: you rest safe from judgment, protected from harm. Allow God's
- 11:33Speaker 1: presence to free you. Now, breathe in God's peace and
- 11:39Speaker 1: breathe out your troubles and now, with your eyes still
- 11:49Speaker 1: close softly, just rest and dream as the word of
- 11:53Speaker 1: God has prayed softly over you in this continuing time
- 11:57Speaker 1: of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe slowly and deeply, as every
- 12:03Speaker 1: few moments you hear God's word being offered to you. Now,

- 1:30:05Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: and ever shall be world without end. Welcome to this
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: time on Abide meditation to guide you into a relaxing
- 1:30:19Speaker 1: night of sleep. This soothing story from holy Scripture will
- 1:30:24Speaker 1: help you softly fall asleep in the caring arms of God,
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: who loves you and watches over you as you rest.
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: As you begin, shift your mind slowly away from today's
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: tasks and worries. Soak instead in God's presence and begin
- 1:30:42Speaker 1: to get comfortable. Close your eyes and relax. Breathe in
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: God's peace and breathe out your troubles. If you fall
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: asleep before the story is finished, all the better. I
- 1:30:56Speaker 1: give you permission now to fall asleep and dream sweet dreams.
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: God is present too, even while you dream. Listen to me.
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: Pray for you now as you begin to sleep. Dear God,
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: for this cherished child of yours. Fill their heart and
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: mind fresh with your presence and peace. Invite them to
- 1:31:19Speaker 1: you and give them the rest for their souls. Let
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: their sleep be easy as you lift their burdens and sleep.
- 1:31:28Speaker 1: And now may your Holy Spirit guide their dreams and
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: renew their hearts as they rest in You. In Jesus' name, Amen,
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: Now drift off to the land of dreams.
- 1:31:42Speaker 2: As the story begins.
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: Imagine standing in the streets of Jerusalem two thousand years ago.
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: The soft, muted conversations of people are humming around you.
- 1:31:57Speaker 1: Shepherds are leading herds of goats and sheep back and forth.
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: Their hoofs scuffle on stone floors. In the market, bakers
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: are selling stacks of thin crisp on leavened bread. The
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: smell feels warm and inviting. People are talking, shopping, and
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: carrying baskets of groceries, meat, matza, and herbs. They've come
- 1:32:29Speaker 1: from across the country to get ready for the seven
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: day Passover celebration. It's the biggest feast of the year,
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: an annual celebration that answers the question, why is this
- 1:32:41Speaker 1: night different from all other nights? Why is this day
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: different than any other typical day? But this year's celebration
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: seems even more different, somehow more tense. You can feel
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: you are living in troubled times. In the Bible, Peter
- 1:33:05Speaker 1: knew about trouble at times.
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: He knew pain.
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: He knew how it felt to be judged unfairly by
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: the world. He had watched Jesus get judged unfairly by
- 1:33:17Speaker 1: priests and crowds in the Roman courts. Peter was arrested, chained,
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: and thrown in prison unfairly, but in the end he
- 1:33:29Speaker 1: saw God's powerful rescue. In surprising ways, God's rescue turned
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: these bad situations into great displays of his grace. So,
- 1:33:41Speaker 1: whether your life seems fair or not, your Father in
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: heaven and his angels are working for your good. But
- 1:33:49Speaker 1: this evening, as Hebrew families begin to gather to celebrate Passover,
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: they can sense trouble in the air. Settled in now,
- 1:34:00Speaker 1: as the story unfolds through the eyes of Peter, King
- 1:34:06Speaker 1: Herod isn't sparing you or the other followers of Jesus.
- 1:34:11Speaker 1: He has arrested innocent Christians. He had James, the brother
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: of John, put to death by the sword. When he
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: saw that this pleased many Jews, Herod sent soldiers to
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: arrest you unfairly during the passover and put you in prison.
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: Jesus was also arrested unfairly at the passover. By before
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: his arrest, you and the other disciples were praying for Jesus.
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: You fell asleep in the garden, and an angel of
- 1:34:42Speaker 1: the Lord appeared to Jesus to strengthen him. So where
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: are the angels of the Lord now that King Herod
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: has his eyes set on you. You need their help
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: to strengthen you now too, see them camped around Jerusalem
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: waiting for God's word to deliver you. Rest for a
- 1:35:06Speaker 1: moment and breathe in that same spirit of trust from God.
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: Breathe out and release your worries. Breathe in, let the
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: Holy Spirit fill.
- 1:35:20Speaker 2: You with faith.
- 1:35:22Speaker 1: Just rest now in God's arms. A group of Roman
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: soldiers arrives, carrying shields and swords. They arrest you and
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: lead you outside of the city gates down to the prison.
- 1:35:47Speaker 1: There are so many guards sixteen in total, that most
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: of them cannot fit inside the cramped cell with you.
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: It's cramped and hot, stifling.
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: A large group stands guard at the prison.
- 1:36:02Speaker 2: Gate, talking and eating.
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: You have not eaten the stone floor is hard and
- 1:36:09Speaker 1: lumpy and cold. Night passes and day comes with no
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: word on your fate. Your stomach growls and your back
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: is stiff. The room smells of sweat. A guard posts
- 1:36:26Speaker 1: on each side of you. Steel chains are clamped around
- 1:36:31Speaker 1: each of your wrists, cutting into your aching arms. How
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: can you lay down comfortably like this? You seek peace
- 1:36:40Speaker 1: in the knowledge that God has been faithful to.
- 1:36:43Speaker 2: You in the past. Night comes again you.
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: Will be placed on trial tomorrow. You've been on trial
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: before that time. You were with John teaching that the
- 1:36:56Speaker 1: dead would not come back to life. Through Jesus healed
- 1:36:59Speaker 1: the lame man. And then the temple guards arrested you.
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: The head priests made you and John stand in front
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: of them, and they asked by what power or in
- 1:37:11Speaker 1: whose name did you do these things? The Holy Spirit
- 1:37:16Speaker 1: had filled you, and you answered so strongly that they
- 1:37:20Speaker 1: were amazed. You had no special training in scripture from
- 1:37:24Speaker 1: the priests, but you knew truth because you were taught
- 1:37:28Speaker 1: by Jesus. Rest for another moment and think about how
- 1:37:33Speaker 1: amazing it feels to know truth because.
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: You were taught by Jesus. You are deep asleep now.
- 1:37:52Speaker 1: The heavy rhythmic breathing of the guards fills the cell.
- 1:37:57Speaker 2: In hallway outside.
- 1:38:00Speaker 1: Suddenly, your face feels the warmth of light. A beautiful
- 1:38:06Speaker 1: glow shines down across your cheeks, filling yourself. It almost
- 1:38:12Speaker 1: feels like a dream, a vision. Then you feel a
- 1:38:17Speaker 1: hand bump into you. You open your eyes, and a
- 1:38:22Speaker 1: bright figure stands before you get up. The heavenly figure
- 1:38:29Speaker 1: says quickly. The heavy chains suddenly snap open and fall
- 1:38:36Speaker 1: off your wrists. They clang loudly onto the stone. You
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: sit up and rub your aching hands together, taking a long,
- 1:38:46Speaker 1: deep breath. Your arms and body are light and free.
- 1:38:52Speaker 1: But who is this guiding you? It must be an angel,
- 1:39:01Speaker 1: the angel speaks once more. Get dressed and put on
- 1:39:05Speaker 1: your sandals. It feels like you're dreaming, but you do
- 1:39:12Speaker 1: what the angel orders. In the glow of light pouring
- 1:39:16Speaker 1: out from the angel, you find your shirt and slip
- 1:39:19Speaker 1: it over your head. You slip your sandals on to
- 1:39:22Speaker 1: your feet. Now put on your coat and follow me.
- 1:39:28Speaker 1: The angel says, oh, yeah, your coat. You slide your
- 1:39:32Speaker 1: arms into your coat sleeves. You're fully dressed again, warm
- 1:39:37Speaker 1: and safe. You've gotten back everything they took when they
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: arrested you. The angel then steps out of the cell,
- 1:39:46Speaker 1: and you follow it past the sleeping guards without saying
- 1:39:49Speaker 1: a word. You pass the first guard post, then the second.
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: The light shines across the bearded faces of the guards,
- 1:39:58Speaker 1: but not a single one of them wake up? Why
- 1:40:01Speaker 1: don't they wake up? Can they not see the light outside?
- 1:40:08Speaker 1: You begin to hike up the road behind the bright
- 1:40:10Speaker 1: figure and see the walls of the city ahead. A
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: large iron gate bars the road, but as you approach
- 1:40:19Speaker 1: the gate, it creaks and slowly swings open all by itself.
- 1:40:27Speaker 1: You enter the city and walk down the street.
- 1:40:30Speaker 2: You're alone.
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: Where is the angel gone? You breathe in the fresh
- 1:40:37Speaker 1: night air, and your mind clears. At last, you stand
- 1:40:42Speaker 1: free in the city streets of Jerusalem, brought to safety
- 1:40:46Speaker 1: by an angel of the Lord. You didn't even get
- 1:40:49Speaker 1: to say thank you. You take another look ahead for
- 1:40:52Speaker 1: the angel, and then back behind you, down toward the prison.
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: An awesome, wild joy swells in your heart. Today the
- 1:41:03Speaker 1: passover celebration will finish. You remember the question why is
- 1:41:09Speaker 1: this night different from all other knights? You realize that
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: the Lord has passed over you and saved you from
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: all of your sins. It's really true, You say, the
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod
- 1:41:26Speaker 1: and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do
- 1:41:28Speaker 1: to me. The angels of the Lord really do camp
- 1:41:32Speaker 1: around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Now,
- 1:41:38Speaker 1: May God surround and protect you with his angels. May
- 1:41:42Speaker 1: you rest safe from judgment, protect it from harm. Allow
- 1:41:48Speaker 1: God's presence to free you. Now breathe in God's peace
- 1:41:54Speaker 1: and breathe out your troubles. And now, with your eyes
- 1:42:04Speaker 1: still close softly, just rest and dream as the Word
- 1:42:08Speaker 1: of God has prayed softly over you in this continuing
- 1:42:12Speaker 1: time of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe slowly and deeply, as
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: every few moments you hear God's word being offered to you.
- 1:42:23Speaker 2: Now, just breathe and imagine and dream.
- 1:42:33Speaker 1: Hear his whisper tonight, come to me. You are safe here,
- 1:42:38Speaker 1: no condemnation, only my grace. Come to me now tonight.
