Welcome to this bedtime story from Abide, asleep meditation, written from the scriptures

to help you relax and fall asleep.

Tonight's story comes from one of the five poetic books of the Bible, the book of Sons.

The poetic nature of this book, with many passages written by King David himself,

emphasizes themes of wisdom, lament, thanksgiving, and praise.

The Greek word for Psalms is Psalmists, which means a song sung to harp.

For this beta meditation, we will hear words that call upon the Lord's unfailing love. Words of

supplication that are spoken by David as a petition for God's provision and peace.

Allow the words of David to be spoken over you tonight, like an evening lullaby, soft,

comforting and sweet.

Please take a moment now to get settled in your bed and make yourself comfortable.

Pull the covers over you and sink your head into the soft pillow. Feel your body begin to relax with every breath.

Allow your muscles to release all tension and stress.

Take a deep breath in and let it out.

Now is the time to re-center your thoughts on the Lord.

Release the words of the day to him. Go ahead.

Release all cares and concerns.

Lay them down at his feet and leave them there. Inhale the freedom you have.

By having your freedom you have by leaving your worries at the feet of Jesus.

Feel the lightness of your soul as you release everything to him. Exhale

any remaining tension

from head to toe
