Now, relax your mind and body as we hear tonight's sleep story.

Good evening.

As this day now comes to a close, this story is written to help you remember God's kindness

and rest in his promises as you drift off to sleep.

I'm Brian Stivale.

Rest peacefully tonight, knowing that Jesus, your beloved Savior and rescuer,

has the power to calm the storm, not just in the sea, but also in your own life.

Preparation for sleep.

Jesus calms the storms.

He calmed actual storms on the sea with his disciples.

And in the same way, he calms the storms that come to you in life.

Tonight, let the kindness of Jesus come to you in whatever challenge you may be facing.

Let His Holy Spirit comfort you and bring you peace.

Before we begin our story, take a moment to get comfortable as you prepare to fall asleep.

Close your eyes and take a slow, deep breath.

Hold your breath for a brief moment before slowly exhaling.

Do this once more, breathing slowly, and letting the peace of God fill your mind.
