Welcome to Abide's sleep meditations.

I'm Tyler Boss, and I'm continually encouraged night after night to remain in my creator,

which in turn has helped me to grow in so many ways, even as I sleep.

And I hope you find that same encouragement as well as you listen.

as we hear tonight's sleep story.

Hello and welcome to the sleep story from Abide.

I'm Chloe and I'm so glad you've decided to join me for tonight's story called Closest to the Sun.

As we travel millions of miles away to the planet Mercury,

we'll encounter amazing details of God's magnificent creation.

Details too wonderful for us to contain.

Across the Milky Way galaxy, we'll get an overarching view of the smallest planet in our solar system.

I pray tonight's adventure will be one that's informative and engaging,

but most of all, I pray it is calming and peaceful as you relax and fall asleep after a long day.

So, please take a few moments now to remove any distractions from the room.

Make sure you're not too hot or too cold.

Dim the lights, perhaps turn on a fan and get settled into bed.

Take a slow, deep breath in and release it.

Feel your lungs exhale every bit of stale air

and inhale a new refreshing breath of air.

Sense the tension leaving your body from head to toe as you relax every muscle starting in your shoulders sink your head deeper into the soft pillow.
