If your mind is racing, your body feels tense, or you’re lying awake carrying the weight of the day, this drift-off version is for you. In this short, gentle breath prayer meditation, we’ll breathe slowly with two anchoring Scriptures: Psalm 4:8 and John 14:27, allowing your nervous system to soften as your heart remembers what is true: you are safe, loved, and held in Christ.

This “Drift Off Version” is designed for bedtime: no “open your eyes” cue, no big ending—just a soft, quiet fade to help you fall asleep.

• Gentle settling in the body (no striving, no fixing)
• Guided breath prayer with Psalm 4:8
• Guided breath prayer with John 14:27
• Quiet Scripture soaking + extended stillness to drift into sleep

“I am safe. I am loved. I am held in God’s peace.”
