Hello, friend. I'm James tonight we will celebrate the gift that keeps on giving

God's comforting word while you drift off to sleep you will explore the treasures of his good instruction for our lives today.

Growing in the richness and depth of the wisdom and knowledge of him.

His word is sweeter than honey and more precious than gold.

Before we begin close your eyes relax your shoulders and pause the distractions there is nothing to fear this is your time to be with the Lord breathe calmly and deeply in

peace lie down and sleep because the Lord will give you his safety he will protect

you in his unfailing love.

As you find a comfortable position and prepare for sleep, thank God for his continued

protection in your life. Stretch out your muscles, beginning the soles of your feet let his relaxing

presence fill up to the crown of your head calm your heart you are resting

in God's loving arms.

This is your time to dwell under his wings, beloved.

You are in a good place, a beautiful place.

Let me pray for you praised are you oh Lord teach us your statutes with our lips we declare all the rules of your mouth.

Thank you for your precious, abundant word.

I pray that your child will rest.

I also pray that all the lists, duties, and tasks of the day will fall away no more toil no more business keep them in perfect peace because their mind is steady on you I pray this in the wonderful name of Jesus your son our Savior and my Lord amen

now take a deep, slow, cleansing breath.

Rest as you sink into your mattress.

Pull up the covers and quiet your mind before God.
