Welcome to the relaxing bedtime story of creation by God's word.

I'm James Seawood.

Get comfortable and hear how it was in the beginning.

Your loving God, existing for all eternity, made everything from nothing by His Word, and it was good. So let go of your worries. At the command of God's voice,

the sun and the earth formed. Plants and animals came alive.

God is in control of your life, and God is good. Now, close your eyes softly and take a deep breath.

Get cozy and let your whole body relax.

Let your surroundings fade away as you imagine yourself, watching the beginning of God's

magnificent creation.

Let's pray.

Creator God, how wonderful are your works. The heavens declare your glory. Even the rocks and trees cry out your

goodness. By your very breath, your very word, all things came to be. How beautiful you are,

my God and my Savior.

I ask for your presence, your peace, and your perfect rest tonight.

In Jesus' holy name, amen.

Imagine you are there in the beginning.
