as we hear tonight's sleep story. Hello, my name is Edward Grininin, editor-in-chief of Guidepost Publications.

I want to welcome you to my bedtime Bible story on Abide.

Finding restful sleep can sometimes be challenging.

So I hope the story of God's love will bring you rest that rejuvenates your spirit

for the day to come.

Before we begin this story, close your eyes.

Release the busyness of your day.

Get comfortable. Release your burdens to God.

This is your time to rest and rejuvenate.

When you are suitably relaxed,

consider how weary your mind and soul are. Take a deep breath, now hold it, and slowly

release it as I count to five. One, two, three, four, and five.

Feel the weight of your body sink into your bed.

Know that God longs to guide and protect you as you sleep.

Visualize yourself waking up in the morning after a long, restful, uninterrupted sleep,

ready to tackle your day.

Refreshed.
