Good evening and welcome to meditation time.
Tonight we will start with prayer and then some breathing to slow ourselves down.
Then I will be reading a selection of verses from the book of Titus to help calm your heart and mind before sleep.
I will be using the New Living Translation.
After the verses the music will continue.
Have a pleasant and peaceful sleep.
Let's pray.
Dear God thank you for giving us another day on this earth.
Thank you for sending your son so we could be closer to you.
Help us to work towards changing for the better every day.
Thank you for the freedom we have in your son.
Protect us as we sleep and give us a peaceful and restful night.
Speak to us as we rest.
May we have the strength and motivation for the coming day.
Calm our hearts,
Calm our minds,
Calm our bodies and calm our breath.
In Jesus name.
Amen.
Let's do some breathing.
In through your nose long and deep.
Out through your mouth long and slow.
In through your nose long and deep.
Out through your mouth long and slow.
Gently close your eyes.
In through your nose long and deep.
Out through your mouth long and slow.
In through your nose long and deep.
Out through your mouth long and slow.
In through your nose long and deep.
Out through your mouth long and slow.
In through your nose long and deep.
Out through your mouth long and slow.
Let your breathing return to its normal rhythm.
Titus 1 2 to 3.
This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life which God who does not lie promised them before the world began and now at just the right time he has revealed this message which we announced to everyone it is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.
Titus 2 11 to 14.
For the grace of God has been revealed bringing salvation to all people and we are entrusted to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures.
We should live in this evil world with wisdom righteousness and devotion to God while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ will be revealed.
He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin to cleanse us and to make us his very own people totally committed to doing good deeds.
Titus 3 4 to 7.
But when God our Savior revealed his kindness and love he saved us not because of the righteous things we had done but because of his mercy he washed away our sins giving us a new birth and a new life through the Holy Spirit.
He generously poured out the Spirit upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior because of his grace he made us right in his sight and he gave us confidence that we will inherit eternal life.
Amen.
You you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you
