It's been a long day.
Whether you've been working hard on a project all day,
You've been running around with your kids,
Maybe you don't have children yet,
You're a busy professional,
Or maybe you've just been in pain and you're feeling tired.
It's been a long day.
So,
Let's take this time to meditate on God's Word before we fall into a deep sleep.
I want to read a few verses to you and then give you time to meditate and open up your heart and your mind to hear from God and allow Him to speak to you through His Word.
Now let's take a deep breath together.
Inhale,
Exhale,
And relax and allow me to speak these verses over you.
Psalm 23 6 says,
Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life.
I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.
Psalm 116 7 says,
I said to myself,
Relax and rest.
God has showered you with blessings.
Soul,
You've been rescued from death,
Eye,
You've been rescued from tears,
And you,
Foot,
Were kept from stumbling.
Now take a few moments and allow these words to rest upon your soul.
Let's meditate on the Word of God,
That you are safe and secure and at peace in Him.
And you can take this time to say a short prayer as well.
I ask that in this very moment we would be restored in our souls,
Restored in our bones,
Restored in our minds.
Transform our thoughts.
If there's any lies that we are believing,
Please God,
Restore our minds to believe what is right and what is true.
That we are yours.
That we are chosen.
That we are worth it and that we are worthy.
God,
I just thank you so much for giving us your protection,
For giving us your peace,
For allowing us to rest peacefully tonight.
I ask that you would cover us in your grace and in your holy peace.
I just pray God that we would surrender the parts of ourself to you that we still want to cling onto,
That we still want to identify ourselves with,
The roles that we give ourselves.
God,
I just pray that we would surrender every hat that we wear and ask that you would restore us and remind us of just the simple beauty of knowing you and the simple beauty of just being alive.
I pray that as we rest and as we are laying down in bed and closing our eyes,
A divine presence of love would surround us.
That if we are covered in a blanket,
That we would feel enveloped with a divine love.
And in unexplainable peace,
May your peace surround us and calm us and roll us into a deep restful sleep.
We let everything go in this moment.
We lay down the busy thoughts left over from the day.
We surrender it to you,
Lord.
We thank you for this restful state of mind.
Bless our dreams and be with us as we rest.
Amen.
I pray that you slowly drift off into a restful sleep and enjoy the rest of the music.
Peace.
You
