Welcome to this Abide Bedtime story.

This sleep story can be used just to help you fall asleep.

But it also could help with mild anxiety you may face in your life.

Whether you're struggling with specific worries and fears,

or you simply need help falling asleep,

let these words of scripture lead you to rest in God's word.

Tonight, we're going to take a journey with God.

On a trek through the Swiss Alps, we are going to surrender all our anxieties to him.

But before we set out our journey, let's take a few moments to center our hearts and minds on God and to find comfort in our bodies.

So as we begin, get cozy.

Adjust your pillows and blankets if needed.

Stretch out or curl up.

You are in a safe place. your eyes and tune into your body

take a few moments to loosen each part of your body moving from the top of your head

down toward your toes relaxing your forehead softening your jaw loosening your shoulders and back

feeling your whole body growing weighted and heavy soft and warm now draw your attention to your breath feel it moving in and out just breathing naturally

let your breath center in this moment in this place not trying to accomplish anything

just breathing breathing in God's peace in God's peace and presence and breathing out your worries now that you are all

tucked in ask for God's spirit to surround you as I pray by reading the words of David in Psalm 34 I will

bless the Lord at all times his praise shall continually be in my mouth for I sought the Lord
