Hello and welcome to this time of quiet guided Christian meditation on Abide.

This guide is here to help you with any sleep or insomnia difficulties you may be having

tonight. If you fall asleep before the story is over, that is all the better. It will stop

automatically, and you will fall asleep being prayed over

and hearing the tender word of God. As we end the season of gift giving, look to the new year.

Prepare your heart to rest in Jesus' gift of peace.

His peace reconciled us to God as no other act could do.

When our faith is in Jesus, his gift makes us righteous and able to come into God's presence.

What an amazing gift to pay the cost for a relationship with God.

Now, before we begin, I want you to get into a comfortable place.

Take care of any physical distractions like noise or light.

Find a temperature and a place to lie down that is most comfortable for you.

You might take this moment to choose some music on Abide that is peaceful for you,

or you may choose to simply listen in silence.

When you're ready, close your eyes and relax.

Allow your breathing to slow down.

Gently place your head on your pillow.

In John 14 verse 27, Jesus said, Peace, I leave with you.

My peace, I give to you.

Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled.

Neither let them be afraid.

May you feel that same peace during this time of rest.
