    [Come Follow Me] Week 45: A New Heart | 2 hr

    Tonight we rest inside Ezekiel's last vision... on the grassy bank of the river that flows from under the temple threshold, fruit trees with medicine leaves turning softly overhead, the water growing deeper downstream on its way to heal the dead sea... as we walk the gentlest chapters of the prophet of the exile. This is a peaceful, unhurried sleep story for Latter-day Saints, drawn from this week's Come Follow Me reading (Ezekiel 1–3; 33–34; 36–37; 47, November 2–8). The heavens opened over a refugee camp, and glory that travels on wheels. The watchman's calling, and the pleading heart it relays: turn ye, turn ye. The Shepherd taking the crook Himself: seeking the lost, bringing again the driven away, binding up the broken, strengthening the sick... and causing His flock to lie down under showers of blessing. The stony heart taken away, and the heart of flesh given. The valley of dry bones, the honest answer "thou knowest," and breath entering what everyone had counted out. The two sticks, Judah and Joseph, one in His hand. And the river that deepens on its own, where every thing shall live whither it cometh. We end with the flock bedded down, dwelling safely, and none shall make them afraid. Scripture woven throughout: Ezekiel 1:1; 2:2; 3:17; 33:11; 34:11–16, 25–26, 28; 36:26–27; 37:1–17; 47:1–12. For best rest: play at low volume. Let yourself drift. The Lord is near. About Deseret Devotional: Peaceful sleep stories, scripture meditations, and devotional readings for Latter-day Saints.

    [Come Follow Me] Week 44: New Every Morning | 2 hr

    Tonight we lie in the deep grass of the field Jeremiah bought while Jerusalem fell... young vines turning in the night breeze, a sealed clay jar keeping the deed in the corner, one lamp burning down the lane in the rebuilt village... as we rest inside the most comforting chapters Jeremiah ever wrote. This is a peaceful, unhurried sleep story for Latter-day Saints, drawn from this week's Come Follow Me reading (Jeremiah 31–33; 36–38; Lamentations 1; 3, October 26 – November 1). The boldest act of hope in the Old Testament: a field purchased at full price during a siege, because houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again. The sweet dream of Jeremiah 31: everlasting love, mourning turned into joy, the weary soul satiated... and the prophet waking to write, my sleep was sweet unto me. The new covenant written in the heart, with divine forgetting in the fine print. The burned scroll rewritten, longer. Call unto me, and I will answer thee. The rescue with the padded ropes. And from the ruins of the city, the mercies that fail not: new every morning, great is thy faithfulness. We end in the field, the mourning being quietly turned, tomorrow's mercies already in the making. Scripture woven throughout: Jeremiah 31:3, 13, 16–17, 25–26, 31–34; 32:9–15, 17, 27, 41; 33:3, 6; 36:23, 28, 32; 38:6, 11–12; Lamentations 3:22–26. For best rest: play at low volume.

    [Come Follow Me] Week 43: The Potter's House | 2 hr

    Tonight we sleep in a potter's workshop... the wheel at rest, vessels drying on their shelves, the kiln cooling tick by tick in the corner, clay resting under a damp cloth, and a budded almond tree watching at the window... as we meet Jeremiah. This is a peaceful, unhurried sleep story for Latter-day Saints, drawn from this week's Come Follow Me reading (Jeremiah 1–3; 7; 16–18; 20, October 19–25). Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee: known, sanctified, and called before birth. The young prophet's "I am a child," and heaven's answer: I am with thee. The almond rod, the watching tree, and the God who stays awake over His word to perform it. The fountain of living waters and the broken cisterns. The tree planted by the waters, green-leafed in the heat, not anxious in the year of drought. The potter's house, where the marred vessel is made again, another vessel, as seemed good to the potter: as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine. The fire shut up in Jeremiah's bones, and the fishers of the gathering he saw from far away. We end with the kiln cooling the slow way, the clay commanded to rest, and the watching tree keeping the night shift. Scripture woven throughout: Jeremiah 1:5–9, 11–12; 2:13; 16:16; 17:7–8; 18:1–6; 20:9. For best rest: play at low volume. Let yourself drift. The Lord is near.

    [Come Follow Me] Week 42: Beauty for Ashes | 2 hr

    Tonight we come indoors for the first time all season... into a small stone house in Jerusalem, beside a hearth banked for the night, where under the gray ash the fire is kept warm until morning... as we finish our three weeks in Isaiah with the tenderest chapters he ever wrote. This is a peaceful, unhurried sleep story for Latter-day Saints, drawn from this week's Come Follow Me reading (Isaiah 58–66, October 12–18). Thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. Arise, shine, and the light that never sets. The Redeemer's mission statement, read aloud in Nazareth: to bind up the brokenhearted... beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. The new name: not Forsaken, but Hephzibah, my delight is in her. In all their affliction he was afflicted... he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Before they call, I will answer. The wolf and the lamb, home again. And the last image of the whole book: as one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you. We end by the breathing hearth, the heaviness traded, the fire under the ashes alive. Scripture woven throughout: Isaiah 58:6–11; 60:1, 19–20; 61:1–3; 62:4–5; 63:9; 64:4; 65:17–19, 24–25; 66:13; Luke 4:16–21. For best rest: play at low volume. Let yourself drift. The Lord is near.

    [Scripture] ASMR Book of Mormon for Sleep: Whispered with Rain | 60 min

    One hour of the gentlest verses in the Book of Mormon, whispered slowly over soft rain. ASMR scripture for falling asleep, or for any hour you need things to be quiet. The Book of Mormon describes the voice of God as "a still voice of perfect mildness, as if it had been a whisper" (Helaman 5:30). So we made a reading that sounds the way the book says those words first arrived. You do not have to follow along. You do not have to stay awake for the end. Headphones are best. Keep the volume low. PASSAGES IN THIS READING A Voice Like a Whisper: Helaman 5:30, 3 Nephi 11:3, 3 Nephi 11:5-7, 1 Nephi 17:45, Enos 1:3-5, Alma 5:38, Helaman 5:46-48 Come and Rest: 2 Nephi 9:50-51, 3 Nephi 12:3-9, Alma 37:34, Alma 7:23-24, Alma 13:28-29, Moroni 7:3-4, Mosiah 4:9 Held: 1 Nephi 8:10-12, 1 Nephi 11:21-23, 2 Nephi 1:15, 3 Nephi 10:6, Alma 26:37, Moroni 8:26, Jacob 3:1, Jacob 3:2 Light in the Night: 3 Nephi 1:13, 3 Nephi 1:19, Mosiah 16:9, 3 Nephi 12:14-16, Alma 19:6, Ether 3:4, 2 Nephi 31:3, 3 Nephi 19:25 Quiet Prayers: Alma 34:26-27, 3 Nephi 13:6-8, 3 Nephi 13:9-13, 3 Nephi 14:7-11, 3 Nephi 20:1, Helaman 3:35, 2 Nephi 9:52 Peace Be Unto You: 3 Nephi 22:7-8, 3 Nephi 22:13-14, 4 Nephi 1:15, 4 Nephi 1:16, Mosiah 15:18, Ether 12:41, Alma 7:27, Alma 37:36-37, Helaman 5:47 Deseret Devotional is an independent production.

    [Come Follow Me] Week 41: The Covenant of Peace | 2 hr

    Tonight we keep a gentle watch at a small stone post high on the mountains above the Jerusalem road... a low watch-fire, long slow wind over the ridge, the city's far lamplight waiting for good news... as a runner climbs the moonlit switchbacks carrying the heart of this week's reading. This is a peaceful, unhurried sleep story for Latter-day Saints, drawn from this week's Come Follow Me reading (Isaiah 50–57, October 5–11). A word in season to him that is weary. The waste places comforted, the wilderness made like Eden. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that publisheth peace, and the watchmen singing fire to fire. Isaiah 53, held with reverence: surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows... all we like sheep have gone astray... and with his stripes we are healed... the chapter Abinadi answered a king's court with. The small moment and the everlasting kindness, and the covenant of peace sworn to outlast the mountains. Come ye to the waters, without money and without price. Thoughts higher than our thoughts. And the benediction of Isaiah 57: he shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds. Scripture woven throughout: Isaiah 50:4; 51:3, 11; 52:1, 7–8; 53:3–6, 11; 54:7–10, 13; 55:1, 8–12; 57:1–2, 15; Mosiah 14. For best rest: play at low volume. Let yourself drift. The Lord is near.

    [Come Follow Me] Week 40: Comfort Ye My People | 2 hr

    Tonight we lie on the willow-lined bank of the great slow river of Babylon, among the tents of the exiles, on the night the scroll of comfort arrives... deep water slipping past, willow branches writing on the surface, and a harp reached down out of the branches at last... as we rest inside the ten most tender chapters in Isaiah. This is a peaceful, unhurried sleep story for Latter-day Saints, drawn from this week's Come Follow Me reading (Isaiah 40–49, September 28 – October 4). Comfort ye, comfort ye my people. The highway home, graded through the wilderness. The shepherd gathering the lambs with his arm, carrying them in his bosom. Stars brought out by number and called by name, and not one faileth. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: wings, then running, then walking without fainting. Fear not, for I am with thee. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench. I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine... when thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee. Carried even to gray hairs. And the summit: Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands. We end with the heavens singing, for the Lord hath comforted his people. Scripture woven throughout: Isaiah 40:1–3, 8, 11, 26–31; 41:10, 13; 42:3; 43:1–4, 25; 44:23; 46:4; 49:13–16; Psalm 137:1–4. For best rest: play at low volume. Let yourself drift. The Lord is near.

    [Come Follow Me] Week 39: The Desert Shall Blossom | 2 hr

    Tonight we shelter in a warm goat-hair tent on the night of the desert's first autumn rain... soft rain on the woven roof, a brand-new stream finding its voice in the wadi, and under the sand for miles around, the desert quietly preparing to blossom... as we rest inside Isaiah's most comforting chapters. This is a peaceful, unhurried sleep story for Latter-day Saints, drawn from this week's Come Follow Me reading (Isaiah 13–14; 22; 24–30; 35, September 21–27). A refuge from the storm, and the Lord God wiping away tears from off all faces. Perfect peace for the mind stayed on Him, and the command to enter thy chambers and hide thyself for a little moment. Line upon line, and the rest and the refreshing. The marvellous work and a wonder: the voice whispering out of the dust, the sealed book, and the fulfillment Nephi engraved with his own hands. In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And the chapter the pioneers made literal: the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose... with sorrow and sighing fleeing away behind you. Scripture woven throughout: Isaiah 14:3, 7; 25:4, 6, 8; 26:3–4, 20; 28:10, 12; 29:4, 11–14, 19; 30:15, 18, 21, 29; 35:1–10; 2 Nephi 27. For best rest: play at low volume. Let yourself drift.
