name of jesus return to your breath noticing how it moves in and out how it nourishes you you don't need to try to do  anything just be and just breathe paul writes there is no condemnation  for those who belong to christ jesus   and because you belong to him the  power of the life-giving spirit has freed you from the power  of sin that leads to death breathe this in for those who belong to  jesus and out there is no condemnation   breathe in for those who belong to  jesus and out there is no condemnation god thank you for the forgiveness and  reconciliation you have given us through christ thank you that no one can bring  a charge against this child your children are free and clean in jesus with  nothing to fear thank you for giving us the   spirit to help us walk in newness of life let  your child hear and believe these words tonight may these words lead them into rest  that is deep and nourishing and sweet   renew them as they trust in you  we ask this in jesus name amen   paul says letting the spirit control  your mind leads to life and peace   so let the holy spirit dwell in your  mind now and ask for life and peace paul says you have not received a spirit  that makes you fearful slaves instead you   received god's spirit when he adopted you as  his own children now we call him abba father for his spirit joins with our spirit  to affirm that we are god's children picture yourself as a child with a good father  your father doesn't want you to live in fear your father doesn't want you to keep  working endlessly hard to please him your father doesn't treat you like a cog  in a machine or a servant to do his bidding your father chose you and he runs after you  your father treasures you and delights in you   your father forgives you time after time   and nothing you can do changes the way he feels  about you he's not a distant father to you he's   he's your dad the one who always  loves you and will never disown you father god thank you for adopting this child  to be your child your beloved child and for   giving them your spirit may your spirit speak  to them now and let them feel your tender love may your spirit speak comfort  to them and let them know they are your child forever paul says and since we are his  children we are his heirs in fact   together with christ we are heirs of god's glory but if we are to share his glory  we must also share his suffering yet what we suffer now is nothing compared  to the glory he will reveal to us later for all creation is waiting eagerly   for that future day when god will  reveal who his children really are against its will all creation  was subjected to god's curse but with eager hope the creation looks  forward to the day when it will join god's   children in glorious freedom from death  and decay for we know that all creation   has been groaning as in the pains of  childbirth right up to the present time and we believers also groan even though we have the holy spirit  within us as a foretaste of future glory   for we long for our bodies to be  released from sin and suffering   we too wait with eager hope for the day when  god will give us our full rights as his adopted   children including the new  bodies he has promised us we were given this hope when we were saved imagine a barren landscape plants struggle to grow rains  come too rarely or all at once the sun is too weak or too strong animals fight for food and for dominance now picture the landscape transforming  a gentle sun a gentle rain   soil growing rich and soft seeds  sprouting in what once was a desert   trees offering towering shade and  nourishing fruit a lion lying peacefully with a lamb enough for everyone families living  together in harmony the cosmos flourishing   every part doing what god created it to do   this is the future glory god has planned  the kingdom of peace and wholeness   where the curse is reversed in the hints of new  life and freedom we've experienced in the spirit   will come in their fullness god we join with  all creation and eager expectation of this day when you will bring the full  glorious freedom from death and decay may your spirit bring more and more of the  first fruits of this kingdom into our lives   and our world even now paul says the holy spirit helps  us in our weakness for example   we don't know what god wants us to pray  for but the holy spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words   and the father who knows all hearts  knows what the spirit is saying   for the spirit pleads for us believers  in harmony with god's own will and we know that god causes  everything to work together   for the good of those who love god and are  called according to his purpose for them   for god knew his people in advance and  he chose them to become like his son so that his son would be the firstborn  among many brothers and sisters   and having chosen them he called them  to come to him and having called them he gave them right standing with himself having  given them right standing he gave them his glory the holy spirit prays for you  now with language beyond words the holy spirit prays for god's will to  be complete in you for you to flourish   and the calling god has for you   rest in the assurance that the  spirit intercedes on your behalf rest in the assurance that god will cause  everything to work together for good   for those who love him and are  called according to his purpose rest in the assurance that you have been called to join in the sufferings of  christ and also the glory of christ paul goes on what shall we say about such wonderful things as  these if god is for us who can ever be against us since he did not spare even his own son but  gave him up for us all won't he also give us   everything else who dares accuse us  whom god has chosen for his own no one for god himself has given us right standing  with himself who then will condemn us no one for christ jesus died for us  and was raised to life for us   and he is sitting in the place of honor  at god's right hand pleading for us can anything ever separate us from christ's love does it mean he no longer loves us if we have  trouble or calamity or are persecuted or hungry   or destitute or in danger or  even threatened with death   as the scriptures say for your  sake we are killed every day   we are being slaughtered like  sheep no despite all these things   overwhelming victory is ours through  christ who loved us and i am convinced   that nothing can ever separate us from god's love  neither death nor life neither angels nor demons   neither our fears for today nor our worries  about tomorrow not even the powers of hell can separate us from god's love no power in the sky above or in the earth  below indeed nothing in all creation   will ever be able to separate us from the love  of god that is revealed in christ jesus our lord gracious and powerful god thank you for these powerful promises if you are for us no one can stand  against us every accuser will fall your spirit intercedes for this child your son pleads on this child's behalf   and you have promised that nothing can  ever separate this child from your love your love is not like human love  which fails your love never fails help this child to trust you even though  suffering in trials will come help this   child to feel the assurance of the spirit within  them letting them know that they are yours forever god i ask now that you will be  with your child as they sleep   through this night please give them peaceful  dreams restore their mind and their spirit and wake them in the morning to a new day that you  have made that they may rejoice and be glad in it that they may join in the work of  bringing your peaceful kingdom to earth   and the power of the spirit in the name of the father son and holy spirit amen return to your breath  noticing how it moves in and out   how it nourishes you you don't need to try to do anything   just be and just breathe paul writes there is no  condemnation for those who belong to christ jesus and because you belong to him the  power of the life-giving spirit   has freed you

messiah and opposed anyone who did for years and years he positioned  himself against the followers of jesus but then one day everything changed no matter what your  background is you can find hope in god   you can be restored as a beloved child of god   and spend all the rest of your days living in the  reality that you are loved you are loved by god paul went on to write a number of letters to   various groups of people who  belong to the family of god in one of those letters he gives  a reminder of god's great love   romans 8 35 and 37-39 in the  new living translation says   can anyone ever separate us from christ's love  does it mean he no longer loves us if we have   trouble or calamity or are persecuted or hungry  or destitute or in danger or threatened with death   no despite all these things overwhelming  victory is ours through christ who loves us and i am convinced that nothing can ever separate  us from god's love neither death nor life neither   angels nor demons neither our fears for today or  our worries about tomorrow not even the powers   of hell can separate us from god's love no  power in the sky above or in the earth below   indeed nothing in all creation will ever  be able to separate us from the love of   god that is revealed in christ jesus our lord  god's love for you is irrevocably confirmed   you could search the world from top to bottom   and you would never find a single thing  that could separate you from the love of god but sometimes it might feel like his love has left  you you might feel like you've been left right now you might be desperate for a reminder  that god's love will never fail imagine that you decided to go looking  for evidence that god's love had left you like an explorer from days of old   you pack up for an expedition surely  god's love isn't always there you think so you grab a backpack from the closet and  pat it down a few times to remove the dust   smells musty after months  untouched in the back of the closet   unzip it to fill it with the  necessities for a long trip   you grab a compass from the shelf and put it  in the bag next you add a map a water bottle   snacks and a jacket grab a notebook and pen  to keep track of the things you come across   lace up your boots and prepare  for the long journey ahead of you you head out the door and instantly  feel the heat on your face   the warmth of the summer sun beats down on you   but the promise that god's love is always there  no matter what just seems too good to be true   so this is a journey you must take you have  to find out if the words of the apostle paul   that nothing in all creation will ever be able to  separate you from the love of god is really true so off you go you pull the map out of your musty  backpack to see what your first stop will be when you unfold your map you find that  your path has already been traced out   you identify your spot on the map and find  your first stop as trouble and calamity as you walk toward trouble and calamity  you remember the struggles you encountered   and the pain you endured did that mean god's love had run out but as you pass trouble and calamity  looking at the various moments held here remember the ways that god was  present in your pain despite all this   overwhelming victory was ours  through christ who loves you his love hadn't left he was faithful even then you are loved by god as you leave trouble and calamity continue  your journey under the bright hot sun   you feel the exhaustion as you walk but you find the resolve to continue as you look to the map you see  the next stop is persecution   was it here that god's love ran out  you wonder as you continue walking   was it in the midst of hostility or ill  treatment that you were separated from god's love though the pain of words spoken  by those persecutors stung you remember the way god's love brought  you comfort in the midst of the hurt   despite all this overwhelming victory was yours  through christ who loves you his love hadn't left   he was faithful even then you are loved by god sweat drips down your forehead and  your feet ache from the journey as you continue to walk you notice a breeze that  begins to stir shaking the leaves of the trees   that line that street you notice the petals of the trees  blowing off and falling to the ground the breeze is a welcome reprieve but as you  look to the sky notice the dark clouds moving in unable to turn back you carry on you pull  the map out yet again and find the next stop   is hunger and destitution you shove the map back into your pack questioning why you began this  journey in the first place just as you begin to wonder if it  was here that god's love left you   you feel a raindrop on your face  one drop quickly turns to many   and you're now walking through the rain as the rain falls you remember the stress and  strain during a season of hunger and destitution had god's love left you then is that why you struggled despite the struggle  you remember the ways in which god provided   he was near to you in the midst of your loss despite all this overwhelming victory was yours  through christ who loves you his love hadn't left   he was faithful even then you are loved by god your final stop is further down the way you  walk the winding paths in the fading rain   wondering if it's here that you  will learn that god's love had left your final stop is danger and death you remember the moments where  fear or anxiety were present and your suffering felt overwhelming yet even in the midst of danger and the threat  of death you remember the nearness of god despite all this overwhelming victory  was yours through christ who loves you his love hadn't left he was faithful  even then you are loved by god tucking the map away in your pack turn back toward home through it all you  are reminded of god's kindness and grace you have seen his faithfulness  and feel the depth of his love convinced that nothing could  ever separate you from god's love   neither death nor life neither angels  nor demons neither your fears for today   nor your worries for tomorrow not even the  powers of hell can separate you from god's love no power in the sky above or in the earth  below indeed nothing in all creation will   ever be able to separate you from the love of  god that is revealed in christ jesus our lord his love hasn't left he was faithful even in the pain you are loved by god i am loved i am loved i am loved by god may you rest tonight convinced that nothing can ever  separate you from god's love no matter where your journey takes  you nothing in all creation will ever   be able to separate you from the love of god  that is revealed in christ jesus our lord   may god bless you as you sleep may you be filled with the comfort of his love and as it says in second corinthians 13  13 may the grace of the lord jesus christ   the love of god and the communion  of the holy spirit be with you all amen rest well in the presence  of god tonight as you sleep remembering as you dream that  you are deeply loved by god the apostle paul knew firsthand just  how powerful the love of

god bless you as you sleep may you  be filled with the comfort of his love and as it says in second corinthians 13 13 may the grace of the lord jesus christ   the love of god and the communion of  the holy spirit be with you all amen rest well in the presence  of god tonight as you sleep   remembering as you dream that  you are deeply loved by god the apostle paul knew firsthand just  how powerful the love of christ was   for much of his life he found  himself on the opposite side of grace he didn't affirm jesus as the  messiah and opposed anyone who did for years and years he positioned  himself against the followers of jesus but then one day everything changed no matter what your background  is you can find hope in god   you can be restored as a beloved child of god   and spend all the rest of your days living in the  reality that you are loved you are loved by god children have the most wonderful imagination  when they play their whole world transforms   to them any item or location  can morph in an instant   simply because the child's mind decided  it was time to have an adventure   maybe the days of careless play seem miles  away from where you currently find yourself   often children will play castle with kings  and queens or maybe even a court jester   their backyard transforms and with all the power  of a monarch they rule over an imaginary world maybe you wish you could go back to the days  where the only thing you had to worry about   was having enough time to  play creatively in this way   it can be easy sometimes to wish that  life were as simple as it was back then   when you could just imagine something and suddenly  the world around you changed things are surely   different now but maybe the invitation remains  to imagine and see the world around you change   what if god's invitation to you through  his word was even more profound than   your wildest childlike imagination that you  could find something more than a temporary   whimsical escape from the world around  you and find a more lasting mindset change   in his letters to the colossian church the  apostle paul writes let the peace of christ   rule in your hearts since as members of one body  you were called to peace and be thankful let the   word of christ dwell among you richly as you  teach and admonish one another with all wisdom   through psalms hymns and songs from the spirit  singing to god with gratitude in your hearts let the peace of christ rule in your hearts imagine approaching the most majestic castle  you have seen it from a distance but finally   you have the opportunity to  experience whatever might be inside   you slowly walk up to the gate only to  find the guards have been expecting you   they open the massive brass gate and you walk  through you're no longer on a normal sidewalk   the ground beneath you has changed  to an intricate brick design feel the freedom of acceptance as  you walk toward the front doors   notice the array of flowers and the perfectly  manicured bushes lean in to smell the roses   admire the variety of blues yellows  whites and reds filling the flower bed   walk closer to the front door preparing  to enter and finally see what's inside   as you reach the door you encounter more guards  but they too seem to be expecting you notice the   ornate design of the front doors taller than any  you've seen before open the door and walk through   to find a still more majestic entry look  up to see the height of the ceilings   notice the extravagance of the staircases  one to the right and one to the left   you've entered a place with a monarch a  king or queen that rules over the space and   all the space outside of it but the ruler  isn't what you imagined it isn't a person   it's peace let the peace of christ  rule in your hearts for peace to rule   means that peace leads the conversation  peace initiates peace responds peace makes   the decisions peace as the final word christ  gives you the invitation to surrender to peace   lay down your anger and let peace rule let  go of your bitterness and let peace rule   stop striving and let peace rule  you belong in a palace of peace   and be thankful let the word of christ dwell among  you richly as you teach and admonish one another   the invitation of jesus is not simply  to let peace have the final say   it is through thankfulness to let the  word of christ dwell among you richly   letting peace have the final say changes what  happens in the palace of your life letting the   word of christ dwell among you is to fill the  room with truth-tellers and promise keepers   to dwell is to remain to live to stay in a  space run to the richness of the word of christ   and you will find bomb for your weary soul you  will find truth flowing from the heart of god   you will find the promises of jesus spoken of  old and preserved for us in the holy scriptures   though we long for the goodness of god most  spaces are filled not with truth or truth tellers   instead of letting outside lesser voices have  the loudest voice let the word of christ dwell   in you richly wander deeper into the palace turn  the corner to find another majestic great room admire the colors woven into the  rug deep greens gold and soft reds smell the incense burning permeating every room   look at the curtains perfectly  hung and pulled back to the side   draw closer to the window and look outside at  the luscious green grass in the bright blue sky imagine you turn the corner and find a grand  piano positioned perfectly in the great room listen as the words of christ that dwell among you   turn to songs of blessing  sung throughout the palace let the word of christ dwell among you richly as  you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom   through psalms hymns and songs from the spirit  singing to god with gratitude in your hearts walk back to the front room  and wander up the stairs   listen to the sound of your feet on  the tile as you ascend the stairs wander into each and every room you  find each more elaborate than the last   imagine you have filled these rooms with  truth tellers truth dwelling among you peace   reigning around you truth to  guide you peace to sustain you   this is the invitation of christ let the peace of  christ rule in your hearts since as members of one   body you were called to peace and be thankful let  the word of christ dwell among you richly as you   teach and admonish one another with all wisdom  through psalms hymns and songs from the spirit   singing to god with gratitude in your  hearts we are all longing for peace   we are looking forward in so many different places   desperate to see this peace reign over our  families workplaces relationships and the world   we are longing for the truth of the  word of christ to dwell among us   the beauty is found in the promise  given to you as you walk with jesus choose to lean on the peace that comes from him   as you fall asleep tonight and as you wake in  the morning to begin a new day choose peace   remember the message of jesus and let that dwell  in your mind and heart instead heavenly father   i ask again that your peace would  permeate tonight as your beloved sleeps   you are our hope of peace in a broken  and hurting world and we look to you bless your child tonight may  your message dwell richly in them   leading them to delight and rest in  your promises we love you jesus amen   find peace tonight as you rest in the loving arms  of the god who delights to bless you care for you   and lead you sleep well tonight and may you wake  to know the lord's love for you deeper and deeper as you lay down to sleep tonight we  want your spirit to find rest and peace   by listening to stories that come from  pictures and stories that we find in god's word   do you feel restless do you feel unsettled  are you longing for peace tonight you will   hear words from the apostle paul that beckon  your heart to find peace rest and comfort you will be reminded that christ has made  a way for you to find everlasting peace   you will be invited to rest in that peace tonight  as you sleep as you lay down find a comfortable   position no matter what this day held it has  come to a close and god invites you to release it   and enter into the blessed rest that he gives  his beloved as you sleep let your shoulders   relax with your eyes closed release any pressure  that's tensing you up and prepare to sleep take a slow deep breath holding it  for a moment before exhaling slowly take another deep breath let the pressures weights and uncertainties  that you are worried about fall away tonight your heavenly father invites you to rest as you  sleep god thank you for protecting your child   through another day as they lay down to sleep i  ask that you would lead them to the peace and rest   that comes from knowing you and being in your  presence be near to your child tonight jesus   let the words that come from your holy scriptures  lead them to sleep in peace and wake and joy   we look to you for our hope you are  our everlasting peace in jesus name amen children have the most
