A sleep story without a journey, without footsteps in the wilderness, without sails on the deep. Tonight, you are simply invited into a tent, by a small clay lamp, where an older Nephi sits alone and writes down the prayer his soul is saying to God.

The Psalm of Nephi (2 Nephi 4) is one of the most tender passages in the Book of Mormon, a man honest about his sorrow, honest about his trust, honest about the nevertheless between them. Let his words rest on you the way evening rests on a quiet field.

"I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever."

A 31-minute Deseret Devotional sleep story. Settle in. Let your shoulders drop. Peace be unto thy soul.

If your heart is heavy tonight, for someone you've lost, a season of loneliness, or simply a hard day, let scripture be the last voice you hear before sleep. This half hour reading weaves passages from the King James Bible and the Book of Mormon together with gentle reflections, all chosen for hearts in grief.

Drift off to the quiet promises of Psalm 23, the tender words of Christ in 3 Nephi 17, the assurance in John 14 that "I will not leave you comfortless," Paul's confidence that nothing can separate us from the love of God, and many more.

Whether you've lost someone you love, are walking through loneliness, or just need peace at the end of a long day, you are not alone here.

Preview of -

It's November 1846. On a bluff above the Missouri River, four thousand Latter-day Saints have made camp for the winter. The day's work is done. Cookfires glow against the dusk. Somewhere, a woman is humming "Come, Come, Ye Saints" while she stirs a pot. A father reads from the Book of Mormon to his children by firelight. A fiddler plays a slow tune for no one in particular. And one by one, the lanterns go out.

Walk with us through the camp tonight. Sit beside a young family at supper. Look up at the stars over the prairie. And let the quiet faith of the pioneers, a faith that endured cold, loss, and uncertainty without ever losing its tenderness, settle around you like a banked fire on a cold night.

A 40-minute pioneer sleep story for Latter-day Saints. Peace be unto thy soul.

Tonight, gather with two thousand five hundred souls on the warm grass at Bountiful.

Listen as the Father's voice falls, three times, from the soft afternoon sky. Watch the Savior descend, slowly, in robes whiter than fresh snow, into the midst of the multitude. Walk forward, in your turn, and feel the marks of love in His hands and His feet. Then sit again, on the warm earth, in the quiet company of His mercy. And rest.

Scripture references: 3 Nephi 11. Approximate length: 50 minutes.

Deseret Devotional is an independent audio devotional for Latter-day Saints, peaceful scripture stories, guided meditations, and sacred music to help you rest, reflect, and draw near to Christ. Inspired by the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and the covenant path. Not affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Tonight, we begin where so many of our faith have begun, with a dream.

In this first episode of Deseret Devotional, step quietly into the vision given to the prophet Lehi in the wilderness. Walk the strait and narrow path. Feel the cool iron of the rod beneath your hand. Let the mist curl softly around your wrists, and keep holding on. Arrive at the tree whose light exceeds all other whiteness. Taste the fruit. Rest beneath the branches.

Scripture references: 1 Nephi 8. Approximate length: 18 minutes.
