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, my name is Chloe.

Welcome to this Abide Bedtime Story, Jars of Clay.

Have you ever felt too broken or cracked for God to love? Have you ever felt too broken or cracked for God to love?

Have you ever felt too unworthy for him to use you for good in this world?

Then let me encourage you in this bedtime story that no one is outside of God's grace, not even the most damaged vessels.

This story will bring you the truth from 2 Corinthians 4 verse 7, which tells us,

but we have this treasure in jars of clay

to show that this all-suppassing power is from God and not from us.

If you have asked the Holy Spirit to fill you, then you carry a truly glorious and all-surpassing treasure inside of you.

You still may be a work in progress with floors and chips, but you are a vessel of his power and presence, and he will continue

to conform you into the likeness of his son, Jesus Christ, every day.

Before I begin this bedtime story, I invite you to snuggle under the covers of your bed.

Make any adjustments to your blankets or pillows in order to be most comfortable.

Join me in taking three deep breaths in and out.

Inhale and hold.

Exhale.
