Still Waters 8 Hour Christian Sleep Meditation - Psalm 23

Our days can sometimes feel like they toss us to and fro, making it difficult for us to settle down for rest and sleep. This sleep meditation allows us to ground down in Psalm 23. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside still waters. Tonight we rest beside still waters.

Welcome into the quiet,

You're safe here.

Tonight you're being made,

Not pushed.

So breathe in and exhale slowly.

Again,

In,

Tonight we'll meditate on Psalm 23 as a lullaby.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside the still waters,

And he restores my soul,

And leads me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea,

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

For you are with me.

Your rod and your staff,

They comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil,

And my cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Now imagine the shepherd of your soul near you,

Steady and kind.

Let your head rest heavy.

Let your jaw soften.

Let your shoulders melt down.

Let your chest loosen.

Let your belly release.

Let your hips settle.

Let your legs grow heavy.

Let your feet relax.

If thoughts come,

Let them pass like clouds,

And come back to still waters.
