Welcome to this bedtime story from Abide, a sleep meditation written from the scriptures

to help you relax and fall asleep.

Tonight's meditation will take you on a peaceful walk through the forest over tree-lined paths and earth-cented trails.

You will walk through one of God's magnificent creations.

But before we begin,

please take a few moments

to make yourself comfortable

and settle into bed.

Take a deep breath in

and release it as slowly as you can feel all the tension begin to leave

your body from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.

All stress is being released and you are surrounded with peace.

Invite the Holy Spirit to be with you tonight.

Whisper your invitation softly.

Allow his presence to fill every space with the fruits of his love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness,

faithfulness and self-control.
