This peaceful sleep meditation is inspired by this week’s Come, Follow Me study of Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, and the Fall—a story that is often misunderstood, but deeply hopeful when seen through the lens of the restored gospel.

Many of us grow up hearing the story of Eden as a story of loss. Of separation. Of leaving something beautiful behind.

But the restored gospel teaches something gentler.

The Fall was not the end of God’s closeness. It was the beginning of His children’s becoming.

In this calming, scripture-based sleep meditation, you are invited to rest in the truth that God understood mortality before you ever entered it. That He anticipated weakness, learning curves, opposition, and growth—and prepared redemption long before it was ever needed.

This meditation is not an invitation to fix yourself. It is not a demand to do more or be more.

It is a reassurance.

As you prepare for sleep, you’ll be gently guided to release the weight of the day, slow your breathing, and rest your body and mind in the knowledge that you are not behind, you are not broken, and you have not surprised God.

Through imagery drawn from the Garden of Eden and the moment Adam and Eve stepped beyond it, this meditation reminds us that God did not abandon His children outside the garden—He went with them. And that same God has gone with you into your learning, your mistakes, your questions, and your unfinished places.

This sleep meditation is especially helpful if you are: • Feeling overwhelmed or spiritually tired • Wrestling with perfectionism or self-criticism • Struggling to rest because of lingering thoughts or worries • Seeking peaceful, Christ-centered sleep • Studying the Come, Follow Me lesson on the Fall of Adam and Eve

As sleep draws near, you are invited to set down what you are carrying and rest in God’s care—remembering that opposition was never meant to crush you, only to help you grow. And tonight, growth looks like rest.

Nothing is required of you now. God continues His work even as you sleep.
