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 that you may be having

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

If you fall asleep before this time of meditation is over, don't worry.

It will stop automatically, and you will fall asleep listening to prayers and the sweet

word of God.

How beautiful is that.

If you don't fall asleep, then simply and softly tap the replay button, and you can join

me again if you like.

But before we begin, I want you to get into a comfortable place.

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

and find a temperature and a place to lie down that is most comfortable for you.

You might take this moment, too,

to choose some music on Abide,

music that's peaceful for you,

or you may choose to simply listen in silence. So when you're ready, I want you to close your eyes and relax. As you listen to

my voice, just relax and let me guide you through prayer and the Word of God one reason

you may be having trouble falling asleep is worry and anxiety so as we begin let me lead

you in your first prayer of surrender and forgiveness.

As you hear this prayer from Psalm 51, just feel yourself relaxing, falling back,

and surrendering yourself into the loving and forgiving arms of Jesus, releasing the weight of your worldly cares as you focus on the lightness of the gospel the good news of the

death burial and resurrection of your lord and savior jesus christ so let me pray for you now oh peaceful and heavenly father you give this one here your child sleep
