In this sacred and soothing episode of Abide and Slumber, we read Psalms 86–98—a moving blend of personal prayers and cosmic praise that invites you to draw near to God in both your need and your wonder.

Psalm 86 begins with a quiet, personal plea for mercy: “Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.” From there, the psalms begin to lift—proclaiming the greatness of God, His reign over the nations, and the joy of all the earth in His justice. These verses will guide your heart from vulnerability to confidence, from whispering need to bold adoration.

Perfect for bedtime or moments of stillness, this episode is a gentle companion whether you feel broken, burdened, or simply in search of God’s peace and presence.

Let this peaceful, scripture-centered reading help you quiet your mind, soften your spirit, and rest deeply in God’s love.
