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.

Good evening. I am so glad you've joined me for this abide bedtime story titled Old Made New.

Tonight you will explore a place where old things become new again a place of restoration and repurpose tonight is a visit to an old antique store as you admire the variety of items

and wonder about their value and origin you will be reminded of the ways in which God

restores and repurposes throughout the lives of the saints. This day has come to a close,

and it's time to rest. Set aside any worries or concerns that you are carrying from your day and take

this opportunity to slow down as you prepare to sleep. Close your eyes and take a slow, deep

breath. Let your body relax as you find a comfortable position.

Express your gratitude to God for another day of life and another night of peaceful rest.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of life.

Thank you for being with me through another day.

And thank you for the gift of sleep.

Help me to see that even when things are hard or when I seem to have lost purpose, that you haven't given up.

There is value yet to be found as you bring newness to my life.

I ask you to bring me peace as I sleep. Help me to fully trust in you.

Amen.
