Hello, welcome to this bedtime story on the life of Moses.

In this meditation, I invite you to rest in the words God said to Moses when he was exhausted,

angry and afraid.

God said to Moses, I will be with you and tonight as you turned to sleep he says this to

you as well I will be with you when God revealed himself to Moses in a burning bush

the place was holy, sacred ground.

So God asked Moses to take off his shoes.

Here tonight, after you have taken off your shoes and as you turn to sleep, I invite

you to also take off your burdens set them aside trusting that

where you are right now God is with you and where God is this is holy ground too so close your eyes allow peace into every part of your body

slow your breath breathe in goodness and trust. Exhale, letting go of anxious thoughts.

Breathe in peace and love and then breathe out the day's troubles as you settle into a good night of

sleep I invite you to acknowledge the nearness of God no matter how close or distant you have been to Jesus today turn back into

his presence and sink into his love father God as I finish this day, I trust that you desire my company even while I am sleeping.

Even while I sleep, you can heal my hurts.

Even while I sleep, you can restore my exhausted mind and body even while I

sleep you can reveal your love to me and fill me with grace and mercy as I have taken off my shoes for bed I take off my

burdens and hand them to you I rest knowing that those things that are still unfinished today I trust you will

help me with these things tomorrow God speaks the words for you tonight that he spoke to Moses I will be with you he wants

these words to burn bright and clear before you like the fire that burned before Moses

he wants his words to break through your darkness to penetrate deep into your

inner being to grow in you confidence and love God is a blazing fire of goodness warmth and hope yet it is often difficult for
