Sleep in Peace

Sleep in Peace

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust. —Psalm 4:8

In the quiet of the evening after a long day, it’s not unusual to think about and evaluate the events of the day. But thoughts can be disturbing, especially if you faced problems that remain unsolved.

Sometimes these thoughts are not easy to turn off and can threaten to rob you of a peaceful night’s sleep. But staying awake and worrying will not change or improve the situation at all.

This is a good time to share your concerns with God and ask for His help. He tells us in His Word to cast our cares on Him, so give your thoughts to Him and trust Him to provide a solution. Then lie down and sleep in peace.

From the book Ending Your Day Right by Joyce Meyer.

Wish I could sleep. I think there is a bit of fear there because I have been coughing all night, tightness and pain in my chest and my right arm is hurting. I think it is my fibromyalgia because of the rain.

Turned it over to my God, but lie down doesn't seem to be an option at the moment. I have only had 5 hours in 3 nights.

Haven't been yawning and don't feel sleepy. Hope it comes soon, have a nurse coming at noon.

Without my God to strengthen me and give me courage, I don't think I would be alive today.

Thanks for being a part of my journey.
