Welcome to Abide's Sleep Meditations. I'm Tyler Boss, and I'd like to invite you to try the number one

Christian meditation app, Abide. You know, just that word alone, abide, or to remain in Christ,

is why I love this app so much. It continually encourages me to remain in my creator, which helps me

to grow in so many ways, even as I sleep.

And I hope you find that same encouragement as well.

You can text Abide to 22433 for 25% off the Abide app.

Just text Abide to 22433.

Now, let's relax as we hear tonight's sleep story.

Hello, and welcome to this Abide Bedtime Story, based on true stories from guideposts,

mysterious ways, where we see God answer prayers for healing, for peace, and for protection from harm.

I'm Diane.

God's ways are not our ways, as Isaiah 558 tells us.

It says, for my thoughts are not your thoughts.

Neither are your ways, my ways, declares the Lord."

We can't understand why God works the way He does, but we can trust that He is good.

He is always with us and he never forgets us, even when he seems silent.

Tonight's stories will remind you that he loves you so much as you hear the true stories

of how he worked in the lives of some of his children.

Before we jump into our stories, take a few moments to breathe deeply and let the cares

and concerns of your day dissipate.

Get comfortable in your bed, turn off your light, and close your eyes.

Acknowledge any distractions there might be in your room and let your muscles relax.
