Welcome to this abide prayer and meditation. God is more than enough. This bedtime story will

guide you into a relaxing night of sleep. Before we begin, make sure all the distractions around

you are removed so you can get a good night's rest take a deep breath

inhaling the sweetness of God exhaling the worries and stress of your day snuggle in and allow God's word to

take you to a land of dreams as you prepare for sleep maybe you feel you can't do enough to earn God's pleasure or thoughts

that you should be doing better achieving more in life or working overtime to be

exceptional and it's weighing you down the burden is just too heavy to

carry imagine now taking all of those negative thoughts and placing them in a iron safe and then closing the door and

spinning the combination lock the safe is then tipped over into the depths of the

ocean never to be heard from or seen again it sinks to the very

bottom of the ocean locked and sealed forever as you drift off to sleep, close your eyes, get comfortable.

If you fall asleep before the end of the meditation, it's okay.

The meditation will shut off when it's over.

Have you had enough, enough trying to measure up, enough striving for peace and contentment,

enough trying to move up in the world, and enough of trying to keep up with the Joneses?

Push away those thoughts that each day is a marathon

to outdo your best efforts from the day before just so God will be pleased with you. Allow

Jesus to carry that burden father I'm exhausted I'm tired of trying to earn your

approval I've had enough of chasing aspirations that do not satisfy.

I'm ready to say enough is enough.

Lord, I pray for peace in my spirit that will wash away my feelings of inadequacy,

my feelings that I just haven't done enough for you so that you will be pleased with me I feel guilt that I haven't prayed
