Hello, and welcome to this bedtime story on Abide.

I'm Melissa.

Psalm 9012 says,

teach us to number our days

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

God's favor rests on us all the days of our life.

Each new day is a gift.

All of our days are in God's hands.

With God's wisdom, we're able to make the most of each and every day to enjoy our life to the fullest.

Take a few deep breaths in and out, inviting God's presence into your whole being.

When breathing out, let the matters of your day drift further and further away from you.

You're so precious to the Lord. He cares for your heart and wants you to live a happy, life he stores up treasures in heaven for us even now

he's thinking of new ways to reward you he provides us with the wisdom we need to live each day

according to his perfect plan he can't wait to give you the kingdom.

So close your eyes and relax your neck and shoulders as you continue deep, slow breaths.

Move down to your abdomen, thighs your calves your feet feel each one tighten and then relax telling your body

that it's time to rest.

Pull your blanket around you.

Sink your head into your pillow.

Notice the sounds of your home.
