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

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

You may want to consider playing it softly next to your pillow as you rest tonight.

Take care of any physical distractions such as noise or light.

Find a temperature and a place to lie down that is most comfortable for you you might take this
