• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to this sleep story from Abide. I'm Tyler. Thanks for
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: joining me for our story Quiet Waters. Are you weary?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: It is your soul thirsty for the refreshing comfort of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: God's love. In a few moments, we'll take a scenic
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: journey to ancient Israel, where we will explore tranquil streams
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and marvel at the wonder end beauty of God's creation.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: We'll also journey through the Psalms and rest in the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: everlasting promises of God's word as we drink deeply from
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: his will. The God who created you, the God who
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is holding you in the palm of his hands, is
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: offering you living water. This is what the Psalmist wrote
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: in Psalm forty two, as the deer pants for streams
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: of water, So my soul pants for you, my God.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: My soul thirsts for God, for the Living God. The
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: living water of Almighty God never runs dry. It is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: hope giving, it is thirst quenching. It is filled with
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: everything your tired spirit needs, love and joy and peace
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and patience. It's filled with kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: self control. The living water that God offers is unlike
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: anything found in this world. It's overflowing with grace and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: mercy and redemption and second chances. It's brimming with hope.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: In the words of Psalm twenty three, he makes me
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He refreshes my soul. The same God, God who gave
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: living water to the ancient Israelites, who offered it to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the woman at the well, is the same God who
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: is pouring living water over your weary soul, refreshing you
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: with his boundless love and perfect peace. Rest in his promises.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Before we begin our story, let's take a moment to
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: make sure everything around you is just right for a long,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: peaceful sleep. Maybe you need to tuck in your blanket
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: or a gesture pillow. Perhaps you need to adjust the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: room's temperature, dim the lights. You can pause the story
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: on the app if needed. Now that's out of the way,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: begin preparing your body in your mind for sleep. Roll
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: your neck gently from side to side, Stretch out your
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: arms and legs, wiggle your fingers and your toes. Allow
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: yourself to sink deeper into the bed, letting your muscles relax.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Take a long deep breath, inhaling through your nose and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: exhaling through your mouth. Take another deep breath, but this
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: time hold it there for a moment. One, two, three,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: For now exhale. Think back on your day and consider
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: what cause do you stress. There could be something at
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: work or at school, maybe at home. It might be
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a big problem, or well that you think about it,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a small one. Whatever it is, you can give it
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to God. He's a miracle working God who is abounding
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: in grace and mercy. He fixes things, he restores things,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: he repairs things, He picks up our broken pieces, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: he makes us whold again. He's an all powerful God
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: who created the sun, moon, stars, and no doubt he's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: powerful enough to carry your burdens. Right now, surrender to
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: God whatever is troubling you. God's love and grace are
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: like a powerful stream, constantly flowing, always refreshing and bringing
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: life to everything he touches. He nourishes our souls, He
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: grants us peace and joy. He forgives our sins. Drink
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: from his living water and let it wash away your worries.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Let me pray for you dear Father, thank you for
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: this child of yours. Thank you for your unfailing life, love,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and constant presence in their life. You provide peace, comfort
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and strength even in times of trouble. Thank you for
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: their gifts, their talents, their many blessings. Open their eyes,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Lord to the many ways you have blessed them. Help
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: them to swim in gratitude. Bother. You are the living
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: water in their lives. You nourish, sustain, and refresh them daily.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: You surround them with your love and grace. You guide
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: them with your wisdom and light. You fill their hearts
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: with joy and peace. They are like a tree you
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: plant by a nourishing stream, drinking from you each day. Now, Father,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I pray that this child of yours will fall asleep
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: peacefully surrounded by your warm presence, drinking from the living
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: waters of your grace. Watch over them, protect them, grant
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: them peaceful dreams of You and your kingdom. It's in
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Jesus's precious holy name that I pray. Amen. We begin
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: our story along a stream in ancient Israel. The first
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: light of dawn is gently breaking over the horizon, casting
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a saw golden glow across the landscape. A glow that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: reminds you of the promises of the God who loves
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you unconditionally and provides abundantly for all your needs. He
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is the light of the world, the source of all
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: comfort and peace. The stream's gentle babbling is a soothing
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: melody to your mind and soul, harmonizing with the soft
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: rustle of leaves in the morning breeze. Tall slender reads
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: sway gracefully along the water's edge. There are tops glistening
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: with dew drops that catch the early sunlight in the distance.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: The rolling hills of Israel are painted and shades soft
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: green and gold, creating a tranquil backdrop that invites you
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to immerse yourself in the peaceful beauty of God's creation.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: The hills seem to whisper stories from Israel's past, stories
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of God's faithfulness and providence. You can almost hear the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: voices of prophets and shepherds, kings and common folk who
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: experienced God's unending love and mercy. Olive trees stands scattered
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: across the fields, their's silvery leaves sparkling with morning dew.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: The air is crisp and fresh, filled with the sweet
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: scents of wild flowers, mingling with the earthy aroma of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the fertile soil. A herd of sheep raises peacefully nearby,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: their soft bleeding, adding to the symphony of nature's sounds.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Birds begin to awaken, flitting from tree to tree, their
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: songs a gentle chorus welcoming the new day. As the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: sky changes from the pale hues of dawn to the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: brighter light of morning, a sense of calm envelops the land,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: inviting you to breathe deeply and relax. The stream continues
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to flow gently, its crystal clear water reflecting the blue
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of the sky above one or two small clouds drifting
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: peacefully across the surface. The water's movement is constant and steady,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: ready to refresh creatures who come to drink. Amid the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: gentle flow of the stream, you notice a collection of colorful,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: smooth stones scattered across the river bed. Their hues range
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: from deep blues and vibrant greens to warm ambers and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: soft pinks, each one polished to perfection by the flowing
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: water by the marvelous hand of God. They glisten in
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the sunlight like hidden gems, reminding you of the countless
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: blessings and the steadfast love that God provides. A few
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: steps from you, upstream, a graceful deer walks towards the water.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It's delicate of, barely making a sound on the soft earth.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: The deer bends down to drink its soft brown fur,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: lending seamlessly with the natural surroundings, unaware of your presence,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that continues to sip from the stream, embodying the tranquility
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and safety of this sacred place. Psalm chapter forty two says,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: as the deer pants for streams of water, so my
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: for the living God. When can I go and meet
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: with God? My tears have been my food day and night,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: while people say to me all day long, where is
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: your God? These things I remember as I pour out
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: my soul. How I used to go to the House
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of God under the protection of the Mighty One, with
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng. Why
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Therefore I will remember you from the land of the Jordan,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the heights of Hermann, from Mount Miesar, Deep calls to
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Deep in the roar of your waterfalls. All your waves
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and breakers have swept over me. By day the Lord
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: directs his love. At night his song is with me,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: A prayer to the God of my life. I say
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: to God, my roc, why have you forgotten me? Why
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: must I go about mourning oppressed by the enemy. My
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: bones suffer mortal agony, as my foes taunt me, saying
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to me all day long, where is your God? Why
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: my soul are you downcast? Why so disturb within me?
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: my Savior and my God Psalm sixty three. You God,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: are my God. Earnestly I seek you. I thirst for you.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: My whole being longs for you. In a dry and
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: parched land where there is no water. I have seen
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you in the sanctuary and beheld your power into your glory.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Because your love is better than life. My lips will
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and in your name I will lift up my hands.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: With singing lips. My mouth will praise you. On my bed,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I remember you. I think of you through the watches
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: of the night, because you are my help. I sing
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: your right hand and upholds me. The king will rejoice
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in God, All who swear by God will glory in him,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: while the mouths of liars will be silenced. Let me
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: pray for you, dear father. Just as the thirsty deer
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: seeks out the thirst quenching water from this ancient stream,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: this child of yours comes before you, seeking the living
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: water that only you can provide. Their soul is parched
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and weary, longing for your presence, your love, and your
