You have all had those nights when you cannot sleep....
You really want to! It is not that you went to bed too late...it was actually a reasonable time that you turned out the lights, snuggled down deep in your covers, closed your eyes and nestled in for a great night’s rest. You drifted off...
When you look at the clock only a couple of hours have passed....
Hummmm, maybe time for a trip to the bathroom and a few sips from the glass of water sitting by your bedside. Great! Mouth no longer dry, once again pulling the covers over you, getting comfy for the rest of the night, or so you thought.
Long nights, early mornings...
Not being able to sleep can be a challenge! We all know how important it is for our health, physically, mentally and yes, even spiritually. A good night’s rest usually makes for the start of a good day.
Today, I found myself getting up at around 4 am....
No use tossing and turning any longer. I took some time to pray, read, think. The world is usually so quiet at this time or at least it seems to be. I am reminded of Psalm 121, it is short, only 8 verses. Let me post it here so you can be encouraged as you read it, whether late nights or early mornings, God is my help, my protector...enjoy!
Psalm 121....
I look up to the mountains, does my help come from there. My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you. The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.
