Do you feel weary when your head hits the pillow because your mind won't stop replaying fears, worries, and "what ifs"? Did a prayer you learned as a child leave you feeling anxious about God instead of experiencing the peace from God Scripture talks about? What if the bedtime prayer you have said for years was actually shaping the way you see God?

In this episode, Ash shares the moment she stopped saying "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" with her own kids because she realized the words were creating fear instead of peace. So many of us grew up carrying fears we never named. Fear of doing something wrong. Fear of punishment. Fear that God was waiting for us to fail. But Scripture describes a God who invites us into rest, hope, and peace instead. You'll hear what the Bible says about where your soul actually finds rest, how fear shapes the way you pray, and a simple bedtime peace prayer you can use tonight with your family. Learning how to pray before bed differently is where the spiritual healing starts, for you and for your kids.
