Welcome to Abide's Sleep Meditations. I'm Tyler Boss, and I'd like to invite you to try the number one

Christian meditation app, Abide. You know, just that word alone, abide, or to remain in Christ,

is why I love this app so much. It continually encourages me to remain in my creator, which helps me

to grow in so many ways, even as I sleep. And I hope

you find that same encouragement as well. You can text Abide to 22433 for 25% off the Abide app. Just text

abide to 22433. Now let's relax as we hear tonight's sleep story.

Welcome to this Abide Bedtime Story.

I'm Lolo Jones and I'm excited to share with you part of my bedtime routine as you lay down asleep tonight.

This bedtime story is called

A Walk with the Good Shepherd.

Tonight's bedtime story will lead you through peaceful pastures

alongside gently flowing rivers.

After a busy or exciting day, it can be hard to turn your brain off and fall asleep.

This story is designed to help you release anything you've been holding in order that you might rest peacefully as you sleep.

Take a few minutes to get comfortable as you settle in to sleep for the night.

Close your eyes and let your shoulders relax into your bed.

Take a deep breath, allowing the pressures and concerns of your day to lift off your shoulders.

Today is over.

All that's left for you to do tonight is rest.

I know it can be hard if you're feeling anxious or if tomorrow is a big day,

but know that nothing you do now will affect tomorrow except for rest.

Rest peacefully and the arms of God.
