BLACK SCREEN ONLY Guided - Sleep Meditation for Calming Anxiety for DEEP SLEEP - Abide Meditation App · Abide Meditation App

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome to this bedtime story from Abide, a Christian meditation
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: written from the scriptures to help you relax and fall asleep.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: As we prepare to read about pleasant sleep, Please make
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: yourself comfortable. Settle your head onto the pillow, pull the
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: warm blankets around you, and take a few deep breaths
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in and out. Feel the tension being released from every
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: muscle in your body as you inhale and exhale, allow
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: your breathing to fall into a soft, steady rhythm. Take
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: a moment to pray and invite the Holy Spirit to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fill the room. He is with you. He comforts you,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: He protects you. As you fall asleep. There's no need
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to worry. There's no need to be concerned. God's presence
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: is with you tonight. Rest in his presence for several moments.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: The Lord longs to give you pleasant sleep tonight, sleep
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: without worry, fear, or anxiety. Inhale and exhale, Let your
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: mind rest on the pleasantness of sleep for a moment. Now,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: let all other thoughts fade away. As we read from
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the scriptures, how Jeremiah the Prophet experienced pleasant sleep. In
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the Book of Jeremiah, chapter thirty one, verse twenty six,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He says, at this I awoke and looked around. My
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: sleep had been pleasant to me. His sleep had been
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: pleasant to him. Think about what makes sleep pleasant to you.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Perhaps it's the feeling of renewal and refreshment that sleep provides.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: It prepares you to face the day. Or maybe it's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the feeling of accomplishment after a hard day's work, as
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you rest your head on the pillow and allow yourself
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to relax, knowing you did your very best. Whatever pleasant
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: sleep means to you, filter out all other thoughts as
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you focus only on that pleasant feeling of sleep. Tonight,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: in God's presence, as we meditate on the good and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: pleasing things of God, let me begin with a word
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: of prayer. Gracious God, how good and pleasant it is
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to be in your presence. There is no other place
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I'd rather be. Wrap me in your loving arms tonight
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and surround me with peace. I invite you to be
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: with me as I fall asleep and rest fully in
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: your loving care. Thank you Lord for sleep that is sweet,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Thank You for renewal to face a new day. Help
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: me experience pleasant sleep tonight. In the name of your
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Son Jesus, I pray how pleasant it is to dwell
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in unity with God. There's nothing like the sweet harmony
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: of peace we have in knowing the Lord. Let the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: beautiful harmony of God's peace wash over you tonight like
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a soothing song playing in the background. Breathe softly in
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and out. Listen for the still small notes of God's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: voice singing pleasant words over you. Just as Jeremiah the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Prophet said, my sleep was pleasant to me, allow his
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: statement to become yours. My sleep is pleasant to me.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Rest on that statement for several moments. Now, take a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: deep breath in and let it out. Release anything that
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: is on your mind, Let go of everything that is
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: on your heart, focus only on the presence of the Lord,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and let sleep come to you tonight, peaceful and pleasant.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It's always wonderful to wake up renewed and refreshed, ready
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to face the day. Just knowing we slept soundly through
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the night gives us a sense of deep contentment. Settle
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on how it feels to be refreshed after
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a good night's sleep. Now, picture with me for a moment,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a vibrant waterfall pouring over moss covered rocks, cascading down
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: into a pool of water, refreshing and clean. The sound
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of rushing water drowns out all other sounds. It is
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: symbolic of the washing of the Word over you. Inhale
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the steady stream of God's goodness. Exhale the relief you
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: feel from the washing of His word over you. How
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: good and pleasant it is to be in the presence
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: of God. His mercies surround us like a blanket. They
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: are new every morning. Great is his faithfulness to us.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Now rest in the securities of His mercies for several moments. Now,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: please allow me to pray over you again, Heavenly Father,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I ask that you cover your beloved child in the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: presence of your peace. Envelop them in your tender mercies,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that they might know how good and pleasant are your
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: thoughts towards them. You love them, you care about them.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Please help them to rest in these things tonight. Settle
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: their minds on you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Feel the warmth of the covers around you, enveloping you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: in softness, comfort and pleasant sleep. Relax every muscle in
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: your body, breathing deeply in and out let the lull
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: of pleasant sleep usher you into a night of peaceful rest.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: In the distance. The sound of the waterfall is becoming
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: more and more faint. You imagine yourself walking along a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: peaceful brook, gazing into the clear water, flowing slowly and steadily.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: The grass is soft.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Beneath your feet as you meander along the edge of
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: the stream. How pleasant it is to be in the
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: fresh air, walking along without a care. Remain here in
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: this peaceful place for a moment. In the Book of Psalms,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Chapter sixteen, verses five and six, we read, Oh Lord,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you are the portion of my inheritance, and my cup.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance. The
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Life is good,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: life is sweet, life is pleasant. In the Lord. Stay
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: in his presence, Rest in his provision, inhale the goodness
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: of your inheritance found only in Christ Jesus. In him,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: your future is secure. You know that you will be
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: with Him for all eternity, because you have placed your
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: trust in him. How good and pleasant it is to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: be in fellowship with the Savior. Let the knowledge of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the precious inheritance that you have in Him cover you
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: with peace breathe in and out. Sink deeper into the pillow,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: pull the covers snugly around you. Feel at peace tonight.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You are safe and secure in the Lord. Experience those
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: things which make your surroundings pleasant, the warmth of the blanket,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the comfort of your pillow, the peace of God covering you.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good. Sing praises
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to his name, for it is pleasant. Let your spirit
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: worship the Holy Spirit, for it is good. Let your
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: breath praise the Lord in spirit and in truth, as
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I pray over you. Lord God, Please surround your beloved
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: one with the warmth of your presence tonight. Help them
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to know that all good and pleasant things come from
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: your hand. Fill them with a heart of praise, giving
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: thanks to you. Remind them that the lines of blessing
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: have fallen to them in pleasant places in Jesus's name.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Now remember Jeremiah's words again. He said, I awoke and looked,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: and my sleep was pleasant to me. What a relief
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: it must have been for Jeremiah to experience peaceful rest.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: How he must have welcomed it in the midst of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: all that was going on around him. He was able
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to sleep in the assurance that the Lord was with him,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: for he knew that God loved him with an everlasting
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: love and was continually faithful to him. God loves you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: with an everlasting love.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: He is faithful to you.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Rest in his faithfulness for several moments now. No matter
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: what is going on in your life, you can trust
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: in the faithfulness of God to see you through. He
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: is with you, He cares for you, He loves you.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Breathe in the good and pleasant things of the Lord.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Exhale the worries and concerns of the world. Feel the
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: security of the Holy Spirit covering you tonight. His presence
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: fills you with love, peace, patience, and goodness. How pleasant
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: it is to abide in the Spirit, rest in the
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: fruits of his presence. Like the peaceful brook that flows
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: slow and steady, so is the Holy Spirit within you.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: When you feel weak, he is very strong. When you misstep,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: he holds you with his righteous right hand. When clouds
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: roll in, he leads you into sun lit pastures. Imagine
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the pleasant places of a sun lit pasture. In the distance,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you hear the call of the Shepherd. His flock follows
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: after his voice. They know him, They trust him. They
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: are assured that He has their best in mind. They
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: are heeding the call of the good and faithful Shepherd.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: You hear his voice, You follow him, you trust him.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You answer the call of the good and faithful Shepherd.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Continue to listen for his still small voice. How pleasant
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: it is to hear the voice of our savior. His
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: words are like sweet honey to our lips. His truth
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: replaces all falsehood and lies. We can fully trust him.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Breathe in and out, relax, allow the words of the
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Lord to cover you with truth and peace. Tonight I
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: My sleep.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Was pleasant, free.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Of worry, free of all other thoughts, free of fear.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: And anxiety. My sleep was pleasant to me. Thank you
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Lord for pleasant sleep. Thank you for taking all of
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: our worries and concerns and replacing them with your peace.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: No matter what is going on in our life, your
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: peace surpasses all understanding. We choose to rest in that
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: peace now, for in You we find true rest. In
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: your presence, we are comforted by you your spirit. We
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: are safe and secure. Thank you Lord for your many blessings.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Thank you for covering this child of yours. Tonight. Thank
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you for quiet rest and pleasant sleep. In Jesus' name,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: we pray Amen.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: Now, let's unwrap the gift of sleep tonight. Imagine a
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: beautifully wrapped package handed to you by your loving creator.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: He encourages you to untie the ribbon and just let
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: it fall away. He guides you to remove the wrapping
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: and set it aside. He waits patiently as you open
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: the box to discover a beautiful gift, the gift of sleep.
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: Spend a few quiet moments embracing this gift with a
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: heart of thankfulness to the one who loves you and
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: cares about you. Please let me pray over you tonight.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Thank you, good Father for the gift of sleep. Thank
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: you for knowing just what your beloved child needs at
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: the end of a long day. Help them release every
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: worry and concern to you tonight. Please cover them with
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: your peace and protection so they can fully relax and
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: find true rest in your presence. I pray this in
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: the precious name of your Son Jesus.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: Sleep is the cessation of labor. It is the time
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: of day that we let go of every unfinished task.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: We surrender it to the hands of.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: The Father.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: He will take care of it.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: He will guard what.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: We have committed to him. Take a moment to commit everything.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: To God.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Whatever remains undone, It's okay.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Let it go.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: Rest peacefully in the Savior tonight. Don't worry about a thing.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: He's got this, and he's got you. Often when sleep
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: eludes us, it's because we're holding on to the cares
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: of this life. We struggle to let go of them,
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: because we struggle to trust God. We forget that God
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: is the head of our households. He is sovereign over us.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: As the Psalmist says in Psalm one twenty seven, unless
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: watchman stays awake in vain. Dear one, the Lord is
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: watching over you tonight. There is no need to stay
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: awake with your worries or concerns, for the Lord does
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: not slumber nor sleep. He will keep watch over you.
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: Rest in that comforting thing thought for several moments. The
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Psalmist goes on to say that it is useless for
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: you to work so hard from early morning until late
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: at night, anxiously working for food, to eat, for God
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: gives rest to his loved ones. God gives rest to
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: his loved ones. You are loved by God. He has
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: given you the gift of sleep. It overtakes you from
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: head to toe. You feel your whole body relapsed. You
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: close your eyes and take a deep breath in and
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: slowly let it out. What beautiful gifts our Father gives
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: to those he loves. Assurance, peace, relaxation, security, and sleep.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: Embrace his gift of sleep tonight, as I pray, let
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: it become the prayer of your heart. Heavenly Father, thank
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: you for your gift of sleep. What a precious gift
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: it is. I am so thankful for your presence tonight.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Your love comforts me. Your gift of sleep restores me.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Lord. I believe you are sovereign over all things,
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: over my life, my work, and my rest.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I release all of.
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: My anxieties to you. Thank you so much for gifting
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: me with peace and rest tonight in Jesus's name. Amen.
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Now sink your head deeper into the pillow and pull
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: the covers around you. Allow your breathing to fall into
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: a steady rhythm, in.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: And out, in and out.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Feel the gift of Sleep envelop you like a soft cocoon.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Gently it wraps around you, securing you in the loving
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: arms of the Father. Like the cocoon of a butterfly.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Sleep begins to encase you in soft, silky warmth. The
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: strands of God's peace enclose you in the gentlest way possible,
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: for He is a gentle father, kind and good. From
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: the top of your head to the bottom of your feet,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: you feel safe, guarded, and secure, rest and the security
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: of God's love for several moments. Sleep is a gift
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: for our bodies, for it allows processing, restoring, and strengthening.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: To take place.
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: As we we drift through sleep cycles, our minds are
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: able to process the day's events. We are able to
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: organize information, file it away, and remember what is most important.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: Each sell in our body benefits from sleep. It rejuvenates us,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: repairs our tissues, and restores us from a long day
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: of hard work. Oh, what a beautiful gift from our
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: heavenly Father. He knows just what our bodies need. He
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: created us, He created sleep. Rest in that assurance for
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: a few moments. Not only do our physical bodies need sleep,
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: our spirits need God's true rest. In the Book of
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: Hebrews chapter four, we read about God's promise of rest,
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: which comes through faith in Jesus Christ. For we who
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: have believed do enter that rest.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: We who believe, we who trust, we who put our
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: faith in the Savior of our souls, we enter God's
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: promise of rest.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: Settle your heart on that promise for a few moments. Now,
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Please allow me to pray over you again. Lord, Thank
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: you for restoring your beloved one tonight every night as
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: they sleep. Thank you for rejuvenating them. You know just
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: what they need. You are good, you are sovereign, you
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: are holy. Please allow true rest to come to your
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: child tonight as they trust in you. Settle their minds,
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: repair their bodies, and restore their hearts unto you. Thank
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: you Lord in Jesus name. Amen. Breathe softly in.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: And out.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: Inhale the sweet presence of the Lord.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: He is with you.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Exhale the remnants of a long day, Release it all
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: to him. Hear the words of the psalmist again from
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: Psalm one twenty seven, a Psalm of Solomon. It is
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: useless for you to work so hard from early morning
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat,
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: for God gives rest to his loved ones. Now be
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: assured that rising early at the start of a new day,
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: ready to work with willing hands is a good thing. However,
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: starting the day with an anxious heart isn't beneficial at all.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: There is no need to be anxious, there is no
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: need to fret. God is with you. Instead of rising
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: early with burdens on your heart, consider starting your mourning
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: with a quiet meditation. Let God's word be the first
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: words you hear each day, For his mercies are new
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: every morning. Let his mercies fle over you now for
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: several moments. Then, as you move through your day, no
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: matter what comes, you can recall the sweet words of
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: wisdom you heard that morning, in the quiet hour, before
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: anyone else was awake. You heard from the God of
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: all creation. You can carry his word with you as
• 35:37
  Speaker 6: a guide, a comfort, and a peaceful meditation. At the
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: end of the day. Resist the temptation to keep working
• 35:54
  Speaker 6: and toiling into the night. Listen to the wise words
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: of Solomon, who said, the Lord gives sleep to his beloved.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: The Lord gives sleep to his beloved.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: You are his beloved.
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: Each evening, carve out some time to be still before
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: the Lord, make room in your schedule to thank him
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: for guiding you through the day. Invite his presence into
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: your household. Ask him to cover you.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: As you sleep.
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: Then, as you lay your head down for the night
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: and pull the warm covers around you, begin to unwrap
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: God's gift of sleep. Untie the ribbon of divine rest.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: Open the box and embrace the gift of true rest.
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: In the Lord his gift of sleep to you. Fuel
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: his peace in the room. Feel his presence surrounding you.
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: Hear his words of comfort flow through you heart, mind,
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: and soul. Inhale and exhale. Continue to breathe softly in
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: and out as I say a prayer over you, Heavenly Father,
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: in the name of your Son Jesus, I pray over
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: this beloved one tonight. I ask that you help them
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: surrender their lives to you and receive the gift of
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: true rest. I pray that they find comfort and peace
• 38:29
  Speaker 6: in your presence. Please help them let go of anything
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: that is on their mind or heart tonight. Thank you
• 38:41
  Speaker 6: for loving them, thank you for watching over them, and
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: thank you for the gift of sleep.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: As you prepare for sleep tonight, relax into your bed
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: Let the worries of your day drift away. With each slow,
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: deep breath that you take. Breathe in peace and comfort.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Breathe out stress, worry, and distractions. Let your head sink
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: into your pillow. Pull your covers up and tuck them
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: securely around you, Keeping your breath slow and steady. Hear
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: your heart beat. Let its rhythm calm you. Now take
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: inventory of your muscles and let each one relax your legs,
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: your abdomen, your shoulders, and your neck. Close your eyes
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: and release your tension. Take a slow breath in and out,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: and again in and out. As you breathe in, say
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: in your spirit, my refuge and my fortress. And as
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: you breathe out, say my God, in whom I trust.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Do that again several more times, as you relax and
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: believe that God is who he says he is. As
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: you continue to relax, hear Moses's words, for he will
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: command his angels concerning you to guard you in all
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: your ways. Know that you can rest in perfect peace
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: because God has commanded his angels to watch over you.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Please let me pray for you, Holy Father, Thank you
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: for peaceful sleep, which I claim for your beloved child
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: in the name of Jesus, help them to let go
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: of all their worries and fears, their concerns and distractions,
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: anything that would keep them from experiencing your peace.
• 41:45
  Speaker 5: To night.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I thank you for your protection in the spiritual realm.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Thank you that nothing can harm us or snatch us
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: out of your hand. We are grateful for your love
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: and your mercy. We are thankful for the poetry shared
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: with us through the psalms. As you delivered peace to
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: your servants of old, deliver peace to your loved one
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: today as this child of yours sleeps tonight, I thank
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: you for your protection over them and all who dwell
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: in their home. May they feel your presence and sense
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: your love for them. It's in the name of Jesus,
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: I pray. Amen. I want you to imagine Moses just
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: finishing the work of building the tabernacle in the desert.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: How glorious he found his God, how clearly he had
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: felt God's presence and protection. They had not perished in
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: their wandering. They had not been overcome by their enemies.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: They had been led by the pillar of fire by
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: night and the pillar of cloud by day. They had
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: been kept by God and Moses rejoiced. He knew where
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: his help had come from. It had come from the Lord,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: the maker of heaven and earth. I am going to
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: read the entire Psalm for you tonight, and I pray
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: that you will find it in the precious promises God gives.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: say to the Lord, my refuge and my fortress, my
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: God in whom I trust, For he will deliver you
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: He will cover you with his pinions, and under his
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness is a shield
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night,
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: your right hand, but it will not come near you.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: You will only look with your eyes and see the
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: recompense of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: your dwelling place, the Most High, who is my refuge,
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: no evil shall be allowed to befall you. No plague
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: come near your tent, for He will command his angels
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: their hands they will bear you up. Lest you strike
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: your foot against a stone. You will tread on the
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: lion and the adder, the young lion, and the serpent.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: You will trample underfoot. And then hear the Lord's answer
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: in Moses's next words, because he holds fast to me
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: in love, I will deliver him. I will protect him,
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: because he knows my name. When he calls to me,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: I will rescue him and honor him with long life.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: I will satisfy him and show him my salvation, abiding
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: with God, sheltering in his presence. Imagine being in a castle,
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: tall and strong, built on a hill. No enemy can
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: reach you, no harm can come to you. Arrows fly
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: towards you, but the ramparts deflect them. He who dwells
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: in the shelter of the most High will abide in
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: Lord my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: I trust, dear one, he is our strong fortress. We
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: abide in Him. We take up our shield of faith
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: in our God, whom we trust. No fiery arrows will
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: find us. We are safe. We are in His strong arms.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Rest in that truth to night. As you walk along
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: the path of life, sometimes the way is dark. Hunters
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: seek you, traps surround you. But God has promised that
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: you will not be captured. Nothing can snatch you out
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: of his hands, for He will deliver you from the
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. Though
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: evil surrounds you, you will not fall. Pray to it.
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: God is your deliverer. Snuggle into God's presence like a
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: baby bird, protected by the wings of its mother. Soft
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: down en cases you. No predator can touch you. God's
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: strong arms enfold you. Feel the softness of his loving care.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: He will cover you with his pinions, and under his
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness is a shield
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: and buckler. Night and day. You abide in the presence
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: of God. He provides, He protects. You can be at
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: perfect peace because these are God's promises to you. The
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: terror of the night is not to be feared. The
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: arrows of the day cannot touch you. All the evil
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: that seeks to devour you will be turned away. You
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: will not be destroyed. God is always by your side.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: You will not fear the terror of the night, nor
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: When you see the wicked falling by your side, you
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: don't have to fear. When you feel overwhelmed by your enemies.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: God has not left you. Let him fight your battle.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: You live in his perfect peace. A thousand may fall
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: it will not come near you. You will only look
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: You belong to the Lord Jesus. You have been sealed
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: by the Holy Spirit of God. You abide in the Vine,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: and all that you do is appointed by Him and
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: protected by him. You have made the choice to live
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: in his presence, to dwell not just with him, but
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: in him. Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place,
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: the most High, who is my refuge. No evil shall
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: be allowed to befall you. No plague come near your tent.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Imagine angels not with harps and wings, but with the
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: glory of the Lord shining on them. They have been
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: given the job of protecting you, of being by your side,
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: of keeping you from harm, because you are a precious
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: child of God. The evil One knows this. He used
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: these words to try to tempt Jesus in the desert.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: For he will command his angels concerning you to guard
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: you in all your ways. On their hands, they will
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: bear you up lest you strike your foot against a stone.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: You have the.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Authority in Jesus's name to fight every attack of the enemy.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: Take every thought captive. Let the peace of Christ fill
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: you as you rest in the assurance that you will
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: spend eternity with God. No matter what. The Spirit guarantees it.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: You are His.
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: You will tread on the lion and the adder, the
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: young lion and the serpent, you will trample underfoot. Let
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: these closing words of the Lord cover you like a
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: warm blanket as you fall deeply asleep tonight. Because he
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: I will protect him because he knows my name. When
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: he calls to me, I will answer him. I will
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: be with him in trouble. I will rescue him and
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: honor him with long life. I will satisfy him and
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: show him my salvation, sleep and peace. Beloved of God,
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: he is with you, He is protecting you. He loves
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: you so very very much. For I am convinced that
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth,
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: nor anything else in all creation will be able to
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: separate us from the love of God that is in
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Christ Jesus, Our Lord. You keep him in perfect peace,
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you.
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: Trust in the Lord forever. For the Lord God is
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: an everlasting rock. Father God, as you have promised to do,
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: watch over your beloved child as they sleep tonight, Wash
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: away all their fear in the fountain of your peace.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Let the song you are singing over them keep them
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: in peaceful sleep all night long. Remember your promises to them,
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: O Lord, that you would bless them and keep them,
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: that you would make your face to shine upon them
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: and be gracious to them, that you would lift up
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: your countenance upon them and give them peace. We love you, Lord,
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: We abide in your shadow. We will find rest beneath
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: your wings. We glory in your presence. Amen, Rest peacefully now, beloved,
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: and may you wake refreshed and restore it in the morning.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: King David once said, Truly, my soul silently waits for
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: God tonight. Wait silently for the Lord's presence to fill
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: the room. Breathe, then end out and receive this calm,
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: quiet moment of peace. Wait for God's presence to fill
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: your heart, mind, and soul. He covers you with his love,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: He guards you with his protection. He guides your soul
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: into peaceful rest and assurance. Breathe deeply in and out,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: close your eyes and rest. He's with you. He loves you.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: In him, your soul finds rest. Whatever emotions you're feeling
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: at the present, exhale them and release them to the Lord. Breathe.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Then end out deeply, peacefully, settling your thoughts on the
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: protective arms of the Savior. He's with you tonight. Your
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: soul will find rest as you wait on God and
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: feel his presence in the room. Be at peace and relax.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: Sink deeper into the pillow and let all thoughts fade
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: away as you prepare to hear the beautiful truths of
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: the scriptures, the words of David as he pours his
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: heart out to God. Tonight, I invite you to pour
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: out your own concerns to God. Release them, but go
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: of them. Let your soul find perfect rest in his presence.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Release all of your strivings and pursuits of earthly gain
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: to him. He alone is your rock, your salvation, your everything.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Now listen to these comforting words from Psalm sixty two,
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: verses five and six. For God alone, Oh my soul,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: wait in silence, for my hope is from Him. He
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: only is my rock, my salvation, my fortress. I shall
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: not be shaken. In God alone, you will find rest. Wait, relax,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: be at peace, and know He alone is your rock.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: He alone is your salvation. He alone is your fortress.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: You're safe with him. You are sheltered in his presence.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: In the midst of every trouble, He's with you. You
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: are secure in his salvation. He's built a wall of
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: peace around you to protect and guard you. Oh Lord,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: I pray for the listener of this bedtime story that
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: in you alone they will find hope, rest and peace.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: Help them Lord to wait for you in silence and
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: peaceful expectation. Help them to release every concern to you
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: and find perfect rest tonight. Help them trust in your guidance,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: in your holiness, and in your sovereignty. I ask for
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: their safety tonight as they breathe deeply of your presence
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: and your protection over them. Thank you, Lord for securing
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: them in your salvation and for building a fortress of
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: love around them, surrounding them with your peace. In Jesus'
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: holy name, I pray continue to breathe deeply, in and out,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: in and out, sinking deeper into the pillow and allowing
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: yourself to drift into a perfect state of rest. Let
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: God's peace wash over you from head to toe, letting
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: go of all worry. Feel the shelter of God's presence
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: surround you like a tall fortress that cannot be broken.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: Know that He's guarding you tonight as you sleep deeply
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: without a single care or concern. He's with you, he's
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: comforting you, he's watching over you. As you sleep in peace.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: In Him, your soul finds rest. Now listen to the
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: scriptures again from Psalm sixty two, verses one and two. Truly,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: my soul silently waits for God. From Him comes my salvation.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: He only is my rock and my salvation. He is
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: my defense. I shall not be greatly moved. God is
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: your defense. You can release everything to him. He's got
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: your life in his hands. He is with you. You
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: shall not be moved as you rest securely in him,
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Rest deeply in his provision. Rest completely in his salvation.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: Gracious God, I pray for deep rest and peace over
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: your beloved To night, Lord, place your hand over them
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: as they sleep. Help them to know you are near. Father.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Assure them that you alone are their rock and their salvation.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: Comfort them with your love and secure them in your presence.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: Help them to feel completely safe in your arms. Unmoved
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: and resting deeply in Jesus name. Feel the calm presence
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit in the room as you breathe deeply,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: as you allow him to cover you with his love.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: God is with you. He is your rock. You will
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: not be moved. Feel his presence now, be reminded of
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: his gentleness, his compassion, his grace. He's sheltering you with
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: a fortress of safety and protection. You can fully depend
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: on him. You don't need to trust in riches. God
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: is your treasure. He is your confidence, and he will
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: not disappoint. Breathe in and out, in and out, rest sleep,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: be it peace. God is with you. He is your rock,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: your salvation. In him, your soul finds rest. Now hear
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: the words of David from Psalm sixty two, verse five
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: from the New Living Translation. Let all that I am
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him. Tonight,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: Let all that you are wait quietly right here in
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: this room. Rest. Listen for his still small voice and
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: put your hope in him. You can trust him. He
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: loves you. He is with you in the silence and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: the waiting. God is with you. Do not fear, do
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: not worry. You are safe in His loving arms. With
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: all that you are, wait quietly for God, Holy God,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you for this precious person resting in your presence tonight.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: I ask that you breathe your life and hope into
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: their soul. I pray that you cover them with your
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: mercy and grace, guide them into a deep and wonderful sleep.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: Thank you for your presence, your peace, your holiness in
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: Jesus name. Continue to breathe in and out softly, deeply,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: resting fully in God's grace. Let every fade away, Let
