Among adults, meditation is rapidly gaining popularity. As we place more emphasis on the role that mental health and stress reduction play on overall wellness, that will only increase. For kids, bedtime meditation can be extremely effective too. Designed to help kids unwind before bed and fall asleep faster, these kid’s sleep meditations from Abide create a warm, safe environment that is fundamental to a great night’s sleep. Start incorporating our most popular kid’s sleep meditations into your child’s bedtime routine this week.
As your child settles into bed tonight, tuck them in with their favorite stuffed animal and click play on one of the meditations below.
1. The Littlest Lamb
As you and your children listen to this story together, be reminded of how much God loves each of his children. In this kids sleep meditation, you’ll hear from a very little lamb who took a big trip to go see baby Jesus on the night he was born. Your children will imagine what that must have been like for the young, little lamb after such a long, exhausting journey; remembering a time when they took a big trip too, just like the lamb! Thankfully, you’ll learn how the lamb got help along the way—reminding all of us that we can always lean on God for help too when things get tough.
2. Maxwell the Mouse: Farmhouse Memories
God made all of the animals—even the smallest, like Maxwell the Mouse. As they listen to this kids bedtime meditation your kids will be reminded that God made them too, just like Maxwell. Plus, he made all of us in his image, so we’re just like him. Your children will feel extra loved as they fall fast asleep to this adorable story of an odd pair of friends. At first, Maxwell was a troublemaker—tearing everything to shreds, a true menace. He didn’t like to share his big home with the new family that moved in. But one day everything changed. Listen as Maxwell meets the most unlikely of friends, creating farmhouse memories that live on forever. (Fun note: Maxwell was written for Abide’s co-founder Eric whose oldest son is named Maxwell! He loves Abide’s bedtime stories!)

They’ve never heard it like this though. In this Abide Bible Sleep Meditation for Kids podcast, they’ll imagine a time when there was absolutely nothing before God created such an amazing world.
