 Opening
Hello dear friend, and welcome to another episode of a God night' sleep. Tonight, we’re diving into a topic that resonates deeply with each of us—success. But not just any kind of success; we’re talking about God-centered success. True success is not measured by worldly standards but by being all that God wants us to be and doing all that He calls us to do.
Success isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about aligning our hearts, minds, and actions with God’s purpose for our lives. Whether you’re stepping into a new chapter, pursuing a dream, or simply seeking to do God’s will, this episode is for you.
 
Let’s start by settling into a comfortable position, allowing your body to relax, and your mind to open to God’s presence.
 
Guided Visualization and Affirmations
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Notice your surroundings, the sounds of the room where you're in, the smell, the temperature of the room. Inhale deeply now through your nose, hold, and out through your mouth. Once more like that, inhale deeply, hold, and let it all out. Deep inhale through your nose, filling your lungs with God’s grace, hold, and exhale, releasing all doubt and fear. Take a few more deep breaths at your own pace. 
 
Now, repeat these affirmations silently or out loud:
 

• I am deserving of the success God has planned for me.
•  
  • I trust that God equips me with everything I need to fulfill His purpose.
•  
  • I embrace the power and strength God has placed within me.
•  
  • My steps are ordered by the Lord, leading me to divine success.
•  
  • I envision myself walking confidently in God’s will, thriving and flourishing.
•  
• 4:38 Now, see yourself stepping forward boldly, your path illuminated by God’s light, your next steps, clear from His guidance. Feel the sense of peace and assurance that comes from knowing you’re walking in alignment with His plan.
